Cashback Shopping!

  Did you know that with most free online survey sites you can get paid to shop?  Seriously!  Nearly all free survey sites out there reward you for shopping at some of the world's largest retailers like Petsmart, Walmart, Kohls, and Priceline.com.  Sites pay anywhere from 1% to 75% of your total purchase back to you.  If you're a frequent online shopper, you really are missing out on a substantial amount of free cash if you don't take advantage of the cashback shopping offers.

Here's a quick list of free survey sites I recommend using to get paid to shop!  Again, all of the sites I use are free to join and fee free.  Just sign up, go shopping, and enjoy your cashback savings!

SquishyCash not only has one of the largest assortment of international surveys, but they also have over 250 different online retailers that they will pay you to shop with!  Just use the banner above and click the "shopping" link to see all of the great online retailers they've partnered with and your possible savings! 

CashCrate is one of the top online paid survey sites out there. They also have an amazing cashback shopping area with great retailers like Babies 'R' Us, iTunes, Office Depot, and Petsmart.  Imagine the money you're wasting by not getting 3% cashback every time you download a new song from iTunes! 

GPTCashCow is one of the great up-and-coming paid survey sites.  It's free to join and free to use, just like all of the other sites I use, and quickly becoming one of my favorites!  Get amazing cashback deals like 2% from Kohl's, 3% from Barnes & Nobles, and many other great retailers. 

TreasureTrooper is a fun, popular paid online survey site with a twist--everything is adventure comic themed and very entertaining.  My favorite feature?  Of course it's the cashback shopping section!!  With online retailers that I use anyway, like 1-800-Petmeds, Avon, Park Seed, and Hotwire.com, I can save a ton of money on my everyday essentials. 

If you have any questions at all about any of these sites, or if you need help with the registration process or using the site, please feel free to contact me any time.

How To Get Paid Doing Surveys

I posted this how-to over on my CashCrate blog, but I thought I'd share it here too. If you haven't tried CashCrate yet, you definitely need to check it out. It has one of the best support systems online, and the approval rate for free surveys is outstanding.

This is a walk-through of EXACTLY how I, personally, complete free surveys online. I have a VERY high confirmation rate (roughly 95% of my offers approve and I get paid for them), so believe me that you need to actually do most of these steps.

• At the start of every day, I create a new email address. Make sure it's short, so it's quick to type. This email MUST be a real email address. "Disposable emails" and using Gmail's "dot trick" can be detected by the advertising companies, and you won't be credited if you use them. Don't waste your time with cheats. You can use sites like Gmail, Yahoo, Mail.com, and Hotmail.
  

• Go to your website's survey/offer list. Clear your cookies. It works best for me to delete everything on the list except the cookie for your GPT website. If you delete it, you have to log back in again every time--which wastes time.
  

• Don't click 'Close' on your cookies window. Just minimize it to the bottom of your screen so it's easier to get to next time. (Close the 'Options' window if it's in your way).

• Click on the survey/offer you want to do. Make a note of what the web address is. Each company will only credit you once per email. So if you are doing the "Day Care Survey" for e-researchcenter.us.com, you won't get credited for "Swine Flu" later because it is also hosted by e-researchcenter.us.com. Make sense? So as you're going down your list of surveys, just make sure you don't do more than one per company.
  

• Creating a spreadsheet or checklist of the companies is handy, so you don't have to write all of the companies down as you go--just put an X next to their name. (You can have a copy of my spreadsheet, if you email me at Emma@PaidDoingSurveys.com...and beg.)

• If you click on a survey/offer from the list, and it's a company you've already completed, close it. Delete your cookies again (just opening the window gave you more cookies) and move on to the next survey/offer.
  

• During the survey, let every page load completely. This one's very important. If you don't, and hit 'skip' too soon, they'll assume you're a robot and not credit you.

• Fulfill the requirements of the survey/offer. If you are supposed to complete an offer or two, do it. There are plenty of free offers to do. Simply click on one that looks interesting, fill in your information, and click submit. If the directions say to "click" on offers on the final page, click them. Simply choose a couple, click on them, let them load fully, then close the windows.
  

• Make certain you go all the way to the end of every survey.

• When you've finished, close the survey window and any pop-ups. Click the submit button on the site.

• Start the whole process back over by clearing your cookies again.

• After I've finished doing surveys for the day, or am just taking a break, I go to my email I've set up and check on the inbox. Several of the companies (particularly the ones that pay the most) send you confirmation emails to verify that you gave them a real email address. Click on the link in the email, let the page load completely, enter your email and a password if they ask you, then close it.

• When you run out of companies, it's time to set up a new email address and start the whole process over again.

$1 Surveys!!!

Yes. You read it right! $1 for every survey you do. Read on:

You may remember me talking about all of the great contests I've won with MakeThatDollar.com. $215 my first month there just doing surveys, to be exact! I have been paid some REALLY easy money doing surveys on MakeThatDollar.com, and you get paid really quickly. Seriously, it's an amazing site to make money on.

Sounds pretty perfect, right?

Well, this morning it was announced that MakeThatDollar.com will be changing their survey rates. Instead of their previous 40%-60% rate, which made most surveys worth between 25 and 75 cents, they are increasing the rate all the way to 80%!!!! Their new goal is to make the payout for EVERY SINGLE SURVEY worth at least $1. Seriously! These changes are going on now!

Think of all the money you could be making getting paid $1 per survey, if you are able to do 20+ surveys an hour. Add on top of that some amazing contests and promotions, and you can be getting paid incredible amounts at MakeThatDollar.com without even having to get referrals.

As with all sites I mention on this blog, MakeThatDollar.com is 100% free to join. You will never be required to pay any money to earn money. It is completely free. Check it out:
