Top survey site review

I have been a member of Lightspeed survey panel for a number of months and have already started receiving cash payments for taking surveys.

There are a number of programs around at the moment who claim to send you surveys that pay but in actual fact, only send you links to other offers. Lightspeed is a genuine market research site that really pays you. As I said, I have already been paid, directly to my Paypal account.

The company emails me fairly regularly with links to surveys and gives cash rewards for completing them. The minimum for a payout is only $10 and the pay is very reasonable in relation to the time you spend.

In Australia, Lightspeed is now known as MySurvey.

Job opportunity - work online as a sales rep

If you are serious about making a living online but don't have start up cash or a product to sell, promoting someone else's products can be quite lucrative. The following link will get you started working with a company and a program I can sincerely recommend.

This is a product that is easy to sell because of it's quality, huge marketing potential and all the promotional resources you could need, which are handed to you on a platter. It costs you nothing and signing up is as easy as falling off a log. You will get all the training and resources necessary to successfully promote the product online - or offline if you choose - and earn your commissions. If you have no sales or marketing experience, I'm confident anyone can learn fairly quickly and hey, you gotta start somewhere, it might as well be with a program that provides free training.

Being a sales rep is a legitimate role in the online community just as it is in the 'real world'.  It is a job, not a hobby or scheme and will require a bit of know-how, work, time and commitment. But as far as jobs go, there is so much flexibility here and unlimited potential to make money, please make the most of it.

My first survey site recommendation

I have been a member of GlobalTestMarket Surveys for a short time and so far I'm very impressed with this site. Signing up is very simple and it is recommended that you fill out your profile so that appropriate surveys can be targeted to you. You will be sent email notifications when new Paid Surveys are available.

As you accumulate Market Points, don't be discouraged if it seems like you don't have many. The points in this program are worth 5c each - in most programs like this one, points are only worth 1c. The cashout minimum is $50 and all payments to you will be made by check. Participants are also entered into daily ($300) and monthly ($5000) sweepstakes by taking surveys.

GlobalTestMarket Surveys offer membership to people from countries all over the world, including Australia I am happy to say. This a well-established and legitimate site. Joining is free so sign up now.

Fun ways to earn some cash

Here is another legitimate program which rewards you in cash for participating in a variety of ways. SnapDollars offers rewards for reading email, playing sweeps and games, completing surveys and offers, referring friends and shopping with partners.

All participation is optional so you can choose to do only the activities you really enjoy or make the most of every single offer, it's up to you. Signing up is free, safe and easy. Simply click the banner displayed above or click here to submit your details.

The majority of offers at SnapDollars are free and usually involve interacting with the site or signing up with partners. To gain higher rewards, you can choose to spend some money on products and services on the site that interest you. SnapDollars also offers you $5 for the friends you refer.

I enjoy this site, they are certainly competitive in terms of the rewards offered and the variety of ways you can earn them. The 'cash out' minimum is $50 so it is most important to persevere and visit regularly so you can claim your earnings.

Make money reading articles

I am very interested in Readbud at the moment.  It is a relatively new site that offers to pay members to read and rate articles. 
Members must accumulate $50 before they are paid through Paypal. 

It is quite simple and free to become a member.  There's really nothing to it: you register, nominate the categories you are interested in, then read, rate, repeat.  Given that I enjoy reading articles anyway, it is nice to be paid to do it! Click the banner at the end of this article to join now.

Readbud offers several articles each day for members to read and then rate from one to five stars.  So far, I have I been credited with between 4c and 10c for each article I have read.  It is best to log in at least once a day to check for new articles available. Until I reached the $30 mark, I was accumulating around $1 each day. Perhaps it is a tactic to discourage members from cashing out, but after I reached $30 I found that there were suddenly less articles available for me. But I don't see a reason to be discouraged by this, earning a few cents here and there for reading a few articles each day eventually adds up.  Overall, this is a good program with reasonable rewards.

For those looking for opportunities to work from home and make money online or simply earn extra income part-time, Readbud has an affiliate program which I will also talk more about in future posts.

I believe this site to be well worth signing up for.

Sell your images, video and audio

Most of us these days have a digital camera and literally hundreds or thousands of images and video snippets stored on our computers. Why not turn all those photos into some extra cash for yourself?

Many businesses, both on and off-line, require images, video and audio for their promotional materials. Due to copyright law, they must pay for the right to use these.

There are now a number of stock photography sites online that will accept your contributions and then pay you when somebody decides to use your image. You don't have to be a professional photographer and there is no end to the types of images that are in demand.

Visit the following sites to learn more and start uploading!

• dreamstime accepts photography, illustrations and vectors.
• fotolia accepts photos, illustrations, vectors and videos.
• Shutterstock accepts photos, illustrations, vectors and video footage.
• iStockphoto accepts, photos, illustrations, flash, video and audio.
• fotegrafik accepts images for stock photography

Get $10 just to register.

This is an example of how you can make relatively passive income online. By this I mean, you set up a free account, refer friends and then do very little else except receive your regular payments. Similar to some of my previous recommendations, this program pays you a share of their advertizing revenue in return for your interaction with the site.

GeoString is an online marketing company. Our sponsors pay us to put their message in front our members. In turn, we pay you for becoming an opt in member of our program. The advertising revenues from our sponsors make it possible to pay our membership base for doing nothing more than creating a free account, referring others, and opening the once weekly email from our company.

You need to be over 16 to register. Otherwise, anyone can join for free and you get $10 credited to your account straight away. This is a very straight forward concept, with not much work involved. It's awesome if you have a lot of friends to refer.

Win Cash & Prizes (Australian)

You gotta be in it to win it! Many of us fantasize about winning cash and prizes but if we never enter, we'll never win. Your budget may not justify buying lotto or sweepstakes tickets, or perhaps you feel that gambling is wasteful. Remember that it's still worthwhile to keep your eye out for promotions that cost nothing to enter.

My recommendation today for Australians who love winning is to sign up at the following site: click here

Search&Win regularly gives away cash and prizes and you participate absolutely free. Their current prizes include cash, holidays, electronics and vouchers.

There are 3 ways to get entries into the prize draws. You can use the site's search box to search for anything on the web. For the first 5 times each day you use the search box, you are elegible to win an instant prize. I have this site set as my home page to keep it handy for any time I may wish to conduct a search. Secondly, click on links in the promotional emails you receive and be rewarded with entries into the grand prize draw. And third, get even more entries for inviting friends. Plus, whenever your friends win, you win too.

Elegibility requirements: you must be an Australian resident, over the age of 13.

So here is that link again: Search&Win
They are a reliable and legitimate site and it's extremely simple. So give yourself a chance to be one of the winners!
