PaidSurveysOnline

The best paid survey program I've taken part in is probably PaidSurveysOnline.

The first thing you notice is that it is not overly showy, althought it is a little bit. This is a good sign, as it shows the company is not relying on flashy tricks to get the customer sucked in. After reading the pitch, however, you realize it is wayyyy too enthusiastic. Ok, now none of us are foolish enough to fall for that, but this doesn't totally negate the program. You have to remember that they are trying to sell something, and in order to grab and hold your attention, they have to really WOW you.

Well, now that we're firmly grounded back in reality, let's see what you can really expect from this program. Another very good sign is the 100% money back guarantee. This gives the company a lot of credibility as even if it offers legitmate options to making money, if you don't like it you can get your money back. The only downside to this is time wasted, which is what I'm here to help with. Although not having a money back guarantee does not automatically mean that a program is a scam, I woud not recommend getting mixed up with those unless you read a positive review from me. With that said, let me break down what this program offers:

* Your average survey ($5-25)
* Online focus groups ($20-55)
* Movie trailers ($5)
* Product testing
* Applications for driving an ad car

You'll notice that my price ranges differ from the website's. This is a more realistic estimate of what you can expect. In addition to this, expect only about 25% of the surveys to actually pay in cash. The rest pay in the other methods (points, gift certificates, offers). This may bother you, but it really shouldn't. It's kind of cool to get free stuff, but if you really want to focus on only getting money, that is possible too.

When you start out, you'll get access to the member's only area which lists all the best survey sites. You maybe have seen lists of paid survey sites before, even possibly for free. Why then would you pay for access to this one? That is a very good question, as I had the same. There is, however, a good answer. The member's area has
many paid survey opportunities, all detailing what kind of payment you can really get. That way you won't waste your time on one of those pesky "get entered in a sweepstakes" surveys.

Not only that, but there is a lot of different info on other opportunities to make some cash in other places. These are jobs like mystery shopping or mystery restaurant dining. If you have never looked into trying either of those jobs, I would strongly suggest it. They are easy and fun ways to make money in spare time. Because of this, I say that PaidSurveysOnline is worth the $35. I recommend joining and start applying for all different kinds of surveys and even the mystery shopper opportunities. When I
started, I made about $600 in the first month. Since then, I have made more each time. All this for very easy "work." I give PaidSurveysOnline 4 out of 5 stars. Check it out.

Paid Surveys

You may have heard about Paid Surveys before. The concept is really simple, take different surveys put out by different companies, and get compensated somehow. Payment comes in many different forms, which is the real trick, and sometimes you need to do more than simply complete the surveys. For example, some sites will will show you exactly what you'll make if you take a survey, and once you complete the painfully simple survey, you'll see that you have to complete that company's offer first (ie subscribe to Blockbuster online). The survey company promises you will get compensated sooner or later. Is this whole thing worth it? Welll, that's up to you. There are, however, sites that do actually pay you money for taking a survey. These are far more rare, but finding them is worth it. The other type is my least favorite, the one that gives you points for taking surveys. They give you some points, or even worse, enter you in some sweepstakes!? This is the kind of garbage we want to avoid.

An important thing to know first about surveys is that some (not all) require you to apply in some way or another simply to see if you are the targert audience they are going for. If you know what you're doing, it's possible to get around this, but there's really no need to. I'm going to explain which Paid Survey programs are worth the price, and how to get started. It's up to you from there.

The DJK gets thumbs up from the very start due to the straightforward site without all the flashy bs. The guy pitching this is enthusiastic, but not too enthusiastic thankfully. What is offered in the DJK program is an e-book detailing some of the nastiest tricks available in the affiliate marketing program. It's a little bit funny how the author acts like these techniques are just rotten, because they're really not. They do work, however. Some of the techniques are so straightforward, you will wonder why you didn't think of them. When I first started affiliate marketing, I really didn't know what I was doing or where to begin. It seemed simple enough, but I never quite made very much and I really wasn't totally sure why. I did some reading up online and there was some useful tips, but on further reading, I realized the tips were becoming more outdated because more and more people knew about them and were implementing them. Fortunately, the DJK program was started in February of 2007 so all the techniques are brand new and exclusive to DJK program members. The important thing though, is do they work? The answer is a resounding YES. Again, the DJK pitch page makes ridiculous claims of how much you'll make (I made about $400 the first month using the techniques in the program and the website). The point is, it still works well, and gets 5 out of 5 stars.

Affiliate Marketing

Unlike paid surveys, affiliate marketing is a fairly not very well known money making opportunity. When you hear the word "Advertise" you probably get uncomfortable, and for good reason! Who wants to go door to door or bother people at home on the phone trying to sell thems something that you yourself probably don't even want?! Fortunately, affiliate marketing is nothing of this kind. If you are unfamiliar with it, what it basically entails is signing up with some program (ie Amazon) who will pay you commission if they sell their products because of you. How you do this is going to Yahoo or Google and posting ads through their marketing programs that will link to the products you are trying to sell on Amazon. It sounds simple in theory, which it is, but don't be fooled. If you don't know what you're doing, people won't buy products through your ads and you'll wast lots of time.

Fortunately for you (and me), there are several clever ways to ensure you success in affiliate marketing world. There are some good sources out there, but I've found some that are the bona-fide best, quickest and easiest techniques.
