Opinion Outpost - is your opinion worth it?

Opinion Outpost is a survey company that has been in business since 1987. Opinion Outpost works with leading marketing research companies all over the world as well as many Fortune 500 companies, helping them find out what you think about products, ideas and issues of the day. This is your opportunity to give your opinion and earn rewards while doing so.

After completing a brief profile you will then be eligible for surveys. You can expect to receive 2-3 surveys per month from Opinion Outpost. You also have the option of participating in phone surveys. These are completely optional, you will never be called unless you choose to. As with the online surveys, these will generally be no more then 2-3 a month.

I have been a member of the site since 2007. I receive survey invitations all the time and they are generally fun and quick. Surveys are easy to understand, pretty interesting, and can usually be completed in 20 minutes or less.

Compensation for surveys is good, averaging anywhere from 10 to 100 points, which amounts to $1 to $10 per survey. You can redeem your points for cash when you have 50 points = $5.

The frequency of surveys is not bad, and can easily be increased by completing your member profiles. The surveys are interesting, and they pay well for the time spent.

Easy navigation with links for accessing your rewards balance and profiles.
Access to a detailed history of your paid survey results, and current survey studies
Referral page where you can refer your friends and earn even more points.

Joining Opinion Outpost is absolutely free. They currently accept members from the US and Canada. This is a good panel to join to help add to your monthly earnings for taking surveys. Definitely Recommend!

Finally - Puppy Picture

Finally I am getting to posting a picture of our new puppy. We got him on Friday 7/4/2008 we will never forget when we got him. We got him from a pet shelter. It is believed that he is 4 1/2 months old, and he weighs 39 lbs. Louie, Louie is his name and he is German Shepard and Great Dane. Louie, Louis looks all German Shepard except for 1 white sock (paw) and some white on his chest. But his size is leaning towards the Great Dane part of him. We are happy to have him and for his age he is a VERY good dog.

Are you worried about the food you are feeding your dog? Check it out here.

Survey Sites - Is it in you

Is participating in online survey sites really for you? Read below to make a more informed decision.

1. Do you have the time to sign up for the many different programs out there? There are many sites that give you listings of all the different survey sites - when you join a survey site you usually have to fill in a profile, some are very lengthy but they use this information to qualify and match appropriate surveys to you. The good news is there are auto-fill programs out there.

2. Do you have the time to check your emails and fill out the surveys daily or at least on most days. The more you do the more money you get. Even when doing this you still may end up not being eligible for some of the surveys. Surveys can take from 2 minutes to 30 minutes per survey. I tend to give up on some of the longer surveys.

3. Do you have time to wait to build up enough money to get paid. The third thing you should know is it takes time to earn the money. All sites have a minimum balance before you can claim your reward/money check each sites FAQ'S for more information.

4. Are you only looking for a little extra side income? Paid Surveys are ideal for those of you who are looking for a little extra cash without much effort. Keep in mind, though, that you will not be making $1000s each month. Making $100 per week is more achievable.

5. Are you okay with sharing information. I enjoy participating in surveys and try my hardest to keep up with them, but I don't like sharing some personal information like credit card balances or the like (I know the end user has no idea who I am, and you never give out credit card numbers) I still don't care for these types of surveys. I am sure I have missed out on some great opportunities in this area.

6. Do you enjoy sharing you opinion? Taking surveys is a great way to share information where it might make a difference.

7. Do you like trying new products, but not telling your friends and family? I do on occasion get to try new products, but you are not permitted to share this information.

If you can answer yes to all or most of the questions above, online surveys sites just might be the right answer for you. Just remember you shouldn't have to pay to join a sight or to receive your payment. You should never have to give out personal banking or credit card information.
Now get out there and start shaping the products of the future.

Weekend Re Cap

Alyssa Avant had the great idea to do a week in recap on her blog every Saturday night, that is such a great idea I thought I would join along.
Here is a recap of my goings on this past week.
I have been struggling with what direction my online business needs to take. I have been jumping around and not having a direction or a focus for my blog.
This week I have decided to cover two different areas of the internet in my blog and on the website. Although the paths will cross from time to time.
My website - the plan is to make is a place for people to find information and tools geared towards affiliate marketing, but I don't want to stop there, it will also be a place to find information to help with household items - I would like my website to be a place where you can get the tools and information you need to start an online business, and the tools and information you need to keep your home product while you start your new venture.
My blog - I really enjoy survey sites, sweepstakes and ppc (although this is more of an addiction, than a money maker). So I will explore those avenues of the internet world.
Those are the decisions I have come too this week.
But the best thing that happened this week is we got our new wonderful puppy on Friday. My camera would load the pictures on my computer, but I will get a picture up soon of our new addition.
