It's been awhile since we shared our results. I know the forum owner would like us to do this in one ongoing thread, instead of monthly threads. So I thought I'd start it. I just added up my June 2009 results for surveys and it was a waaaay better month that I thought it was. $1,147 total. Big earners for me were mysurvey, surveysavvy, myopinionnow, GTM, ACOP, SurveySpot...have to go look at the list to see where other big payments came from. Did a couple of online interactives/focus groups, 1 in person focus group and 2 taste tests, too.

My total earnings from paid surveys was about $5...I earned WAY less than minimum wage doing them.

Great job Happygal. My results were a bit lower than my expectations but still better than May. I cashed in in $721 total. I still have more that I'm waiting for so I didn't include them.
I have over $200 on the way for this month so far. I just know it will keep coming in better and better !

I have been using Opinion Outpost, and I have made a total of $127.50, in three months. I notice that they are a third party company, and many of the surveys they offer are from OTX and JD power and other companies mentioned in other posts in the survey forum. What I like about Opinion Outpost is that when I take a survey from one of their partners, I now know who the partner is, what kind of surveys they are offering and can decide if I want to sign up with them directly based on my experience with them.

Its a shame that you don't qualify for surveys.
There are many threads in this forum which show many members more than happy about the EXTRA money that they earned from taking paid surveys.

???
I guess what we qualify for is a matter of opinion... just because we don't care for something and don't promote it, doesn't mean we don't qualify.... he was just being honest and sharing the other side of the coin...
I think it is okay to share both the pros and cons of anything related to making money at home.

I agree, I think getagrip qualifies just fine for the surveys and merely hasn't seen positive results with them. Surveys aren't for everyone, and there really isn't one magic path or solution when talking about internet marketing.

Had a decent month in November. $347.50 but then again I was out of town for 2 weeks. I hope everyone else got higher payouts than me!

I gave surveys a good solid 30-day try. Total earnings, about $9.
Now I do have several strikes against me.
1) I'm retired, so didn't qualify for a lot of surveys.
2) I'm on a really SLOW dial up system, and it just takes far too much time to go through the surveys to make it worth while.
For the time being, I'll just stick affiliate marketing.

To me it's just interesting to see people actually making some money doing surveys. I thought any good money from surveys was an exception, not the norm.
Congrates to those getting paid doing surveys.

I agree, pegeler, that those may be two significant disadvantages in terms of doing surveys. However, at least in my experience, a month wasn't long enough. Heck, I have found that I tend to have great demographics in terms of doing surveys, but in my first month, I only made $5.

If I remember correctly I think I only made $3 in my first month and that wasn't enough to cash out with. I didn't really start making a fair amount of money for several months after. You just have to stick with it and even do some of the free ones (sweepstakes entries) that they send you. They sometimes lead to paid product tests.

I didn't receive any survey payments the first month - did accumulate $$ and points on a few sites but not enough to cash out...Money started rolling in at the end of the second month...
