Earning money through surveys

A lot of frugal folks earn some extra bucks each month by answering surveys. If you have extra time and are willing to put in the time, you can certainly make some spending money, or some extra money to put toward one of your goals.

It's a good idea to create an email address just for answering surveys.  Use as many survey companies as you can - you might not get paid from each company each month, but chances are good you'll get a payout from one company or another each month, once you get going.

Each day, check your survey email to see what surveys are available.  You'll want to do this quickly, as the number of many surveys are limited.

Here's a list of some survey companies available:

• Survey Panel Group
• Swagbucks - you'll be "paid" in Swagbucks, which you can use to get gift cards or other merchandise  
• Synovate
• Toluna
• Valued Opinions
