How Much Do You Earn Taking Surveys?
Just in case you are interested I want to give you an idea of how easy it is to earn money taking surveys. With just a few hours a week I do something small that makes a huge impact on my finances. The amount you can earn varies and it doesn’t have to take a lot of time.
Total time spent last week taking Lightspeed surveys was 68 minutes. I earned 750 points which is the equivalent of $6.75 an hour. This may seem like a lot of time for minimum wage. But on the other hand I spent 10 minutes taking a survey with SurveySpot and earned 1,000 points which is equivalent to $10.
The total time spent on Opinion Outpost was 20 minutes. I earned enough points with Opinion Outpost to redeem a $5 gift card or $5 check.
If you are considering taking surveys it does not require a whole lot of time, just a little bit of consistency. Take at least one survey everyday with your favorite survey companies. Soon you’ll begin getting a check in the mail every month.
Total time spent late week to earn a little over $22 was an hour and a half. If you are interested in which companies I recommend, take a look at my top 11 surveys to be a member of in 2011.

Use a small notebook to record survey that you’ve qualified for or make a folder in your email inbox for “surveys”. Once you complete and qualify for the survey, add the survey email to your “surveys” folder. Now you have a record.
Some surveys themselves take a few days to credit. I have had this happen on Lightspeed Survey.
I hope this helps.
