2009 Earnings

This was my first full year doing GPT and survey website work. I began with year with one 'real-life' job and ended it with three. The difference can definitely be seen in my earnings here. Due to time and scheduling, I combined some months. Also, my earnings overall were smaller.

In spite of the solid money I'm earning now, I still enjoy this project and intend to keep on truckin' for 2010. Even as a person with 3 jobs, I still welcome a bit of extra cash, and I genuinely like doing surveys.

Toluna (formerly Your 2 Cents) - $10.00
Opinion Outpost - $6.00 Amazon gift code

Total - $46.00

I'm moving back to the bimonthly posting schedule. I've been pretty occupied with the new part-time job I got at the end of July, and more recently, I got another part-time job in mid-September. In spite of all those schedule changes, I still found spare moments where I felt like doing a survey or two!

July Earnings

MyPoints - $25.00 Amazon gift code
HotSpex - $5.00

Product sample: Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner.

My computer was broken for more than half of this month, so there's less to report than usual.

June Earnings

Opinion Outpost - $8.00
Mindfield - $5.00

Total for June - $67.40

My schedule has calmed down enough that I feel confident going back to monthly instead of bimonthly earnings posts. However, I'm interviewing for another part-time job on Thursday, so it may not stay that way.

April and May Earnings

SurveyHead - $20.00
Opinion Outpost - $6.50
Dollar Surveys - $1.00

Total for April and May - $27.50

I'd say that's decent for one month of distraction and one month of slacking. In April, I was occupied with finishing up the semester. In May, I was using my short vacation time to visit with family and play computer games. I skipped the GPT sites completely and simply did a survey now and then.

February and March Earnings

Cash Crate - $21.20
Datatelligence - $10.00 Amazon gift code
Your 2 Cents - $10.00
Greenfield Online - $8.00
Mindfield - $7.00
Opinion Outpost - $7.00
Lightspeed - $5.00
Cash Lagoon - $2.00

Total for February and March - $70.20

Alas, my computer was out of commission for several weeks in March, so I didn't get to make up for the short month of February. Fortunately, a friend and I were able to save my computer, so at least I didn't end up losing any money on repairs!

January Earnings

Survey Head - $29.00
