It's been a busy and tumultuous year, but I managed to keep doing surveys here and there. I branched out and tried a code-based program called Delicious Rewards by Lean Cuisine. The earnings were slow but it definitely made me a more loyal customer while the program was in effect. It has now been discontinued, but I'm keeping an eye out for similar programs to try. If you notice any, let me know! I attempted My Perks by Purina, but theft of the codes (which are displayed on the outside of packaging) soured me to the program early, so I haven't done much with it. I tried a National Consumer Panel scanner, but found the process to be more trouble than it was worth.

I had a few good home product tests this year, including full-sized bottles of blind label shampoo (2 bottles) and conditioner (1 bottle), and a package of Hamburger Helper.

This is the year I completed my Master's Degree in Psychology, so considering that, I'm happy with my small earnings. I'm going to be hitting Opinion Outpost, Mechanical Turk, and JDPowerPanel much more in January as I'm job searching. For MTurk, I have found the subreddit Hits Worth Turking For to be immensely helpful.

Happy New Year, all!

P.S. Paypal screenshot here. Anything I didn't receive in cash came in the form of Amazon credit.

2012 Earnings

This year, SurveyHead's confirmation and cash-out process slowed down considerably. However, OpinionOutpost really picked up, so it became my go-to survey site anytime I had a spare moment to do surveys.

2010 Earnings

This was the year of tricky schedules and personal upheaval for me, so my survey earnings were too erratic to report on a monthly basis. In spite of that, I still earned enough to merit a year-end post.

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.
