December 2, 2012 at 9:57 amHi! I just wanted to let you know of another one. This site really pays and I’ve received $50 already. Granted it is gift cards or Virtual Visa, but it works. J.D. Power Panel. You can even earn $0.10 per survey if you don’t qualify.

May 30, 2013 at 4:06 pmIf my children are all grown & not living at home, would I qualify for Mommy Talk? There are babies in my family, but they are my nieces’ babies. Mommy Talk sounds really good, but it seems I may not qualify for many of the surveys.

May 30, 2013 at 4:21 pmPhyllis, yes you would still be able to sign up if your children are grown. Most of the surveys are looking for folks of various ages and locations, with or without children (or children all grown up).

July 5, 2013 at 3:47 amThis is an awesome survey company. I participate in a lot of survey programs….but I agree…this is one of the best. Quick, easy, fair in the payment process/earnings. : )

July 8, 2013 at 2:48 amGreat post! Working from home online is becoming more and more popular today and as a result it is also getting harder to find legitimate ways to make money online.

November 23, 2013 at 1:32 amOk gals, i have began to follow this awesome site for about 2 weeks now and i gotta say….i am in love. Being a single mom, living with difficult family members, working and living on minimum wage is hard. But this site gave me some awesome high paying surveys that actually pay up. I only use 2 for now. Ipoll and global testmarket. Already rack up $50 in A few hrs a day doing surveys and some diapers trials with global test market. Ipoll got $10 in there. really recommend GLOBAL TEST MARKET ….they got better rewards.

December 30, 2013 at 1:47 pmI have been doing surveys and activities with Ipsos, MyView, My Points and e-rewards for a long time. It can take awhile to gain enough points to be able to get a reward (like Amazon gift card), but when I do, it’s usually a good amount. I think I’ve probably received about $2000 in Amazon cards and other prizes over the last 3-4 years. It isn’t a whole lot, but it usually really helps around CHristmas or my son’s birthday for presents. Thanks for the info and Happy New Year
