Make Money and Be a Stay-At-Home Mom

I too am a stay-at-home mom and I've spent many hours on the computer, trying to find ways of making some extra cash and have come across some great ideas as well as disappointing scams.

I'm here to save you time and effort by giving you FREE advice (from one stay at home mom to another) and sources on how to make money by doing surveys, joining in focus groups, watching commercials, and giving your opinion on products.

Beware that most survey places and "make money at home" claims are FAKE and are just out to get your hard earned money.

So you're probably asking..."So why give away this information for free?" Like I said before, I'm just an honest stay at home mom and I want to help others succeed in doing so too!

You probably know the feeling of spending many hours on google and other search sites, being frustrated because you can't seem to find anything legitimate on making money online.

The site scams are endless, and if you don't really know what your doing, you too will fall into their pits and loose money instead of making it! Well after much "sweat and time" I have finally found some sites that are true to their word! Not only am I going to share with you the scams, but also the great sites to make some extra cash$$$!

As I continue this journey trying to Stay a STAY AT HOME MOM, I'll keep you all informed.

But lets get past the "chit-chat" and get to the real money making ideas.First let me state that I have not been able to find anything yet that is a steady income on the internet, but after weeks of trial and error I have managed now to make over $50.00 (and counting!) a week on different sites. If your looking for steady income, your going to have to find that off the internet and start your own business (which I will soon cover); but if your just looking for some extra cash to help ends meet or to pay off some bills, then these sites are going to be great for you.

SURVEYS: Making CASH and getting REWARDS for giving your opinion....
****Warning**** Please read this before joining any survey sites: Make sure you always read the Privacy Policy! If they are going to give away your information to a third party than STAY AWAY. Otherwise you will get awful unwanted SPAM mail and tellemarketers will be calling you for things you don't want!

The Good:

So here is the first list of those survey sites I was telling you about that actually pay you to give your opinions and don't send you SPAM mail. I'm sure there is more and as I find them I will let you know. These sites will let you give your opinion (if you qualify) and make anywhere from 1$ to 25$ for each survey and Pay double,even triple if you qualify for product testing or focus groups!

www.surveyspot.com

The surveys here are one of the better paying and usually take about 20min each to finish. They also will send you email invites whenever there is an available survey. The surveys usually pay a min. of 3$ and up and also they send out invites to product testing for even more cash earnings. The highest paying survey here that I have taken was $10. There is a 5$ min. for payout. Just remember that you must qualify for each survey which means you won't be able to take some.

www.awsurveys.com

This survey site usually has you type a short review for a website and pays anywhere from 4$ to 25$ per survey. However there is a $75 payout, so you have to wait a bit to see your paycheck!

www.netverdix.com

This is one of the higher paying sites, but the surveys are not posted as often as the other sites.

www.inboxdollars.com

Here they pay about 1$ per survey answered and pay about .03 cents per email read. However, there is a $30.00 payout and you must not skip 10 consecutive emails, or they will "freeze" your account. They are legitimate, but make sure that you keep up with the emails!

www.sendearnings.com

This place is exactly the same as inboxdollars. Also for both of these sites there are other "ways" to make some extra cash, but usually it's for signing up to other companies like blockbuster.com. This part of the site is not recommended unless you where already planning on spending money on these companies.

Down Right Bad and Ugly:

Here are some basic guidelines to keep you from getting caught into a scam:

If it's too good to be true, then it is! You have probably seen "Work at Home and make over 1,000 a week!", "Fill out data refund information and get paid for it!" "You can be your own Boss!". Saddly most of these places are falsely advertised! Always check out the site's privacy policy and conditions and terms before putting any money into it! Make sure there is a phone number and/or legitmate contacting information. If you want to make the kind of money that they list, then your going to have to start your own business or get a job off the internet!

Be patient! The money is not going to pile into you lap all of the sudden. Some of these places promise 500.00$ + a week, but what they don't tell you is that demographics, signing up with hundreds of companies, and time all come into play! You will not always qualify for each survey too, but don't worry, the surveys will come.

Be Careful! Most "survey sites" have strings attached. You'll find yourself having to either pay money or become members of other survey sites just to get their survey information, only to find a dead end and hardly anything legitimate! I've joined a survey site that charged me 34.00 for membership and I really haven't heard back from any of their survey places! Thanks goodness they sent me a refund because most places don't!

Be willing to put TIME into it! These surveys take time and effort. the money will not just fall into your lap, your going to have to work for it!
