Want to earn money while sitting around in your PJs? This is not a great rich quick scheme as you will not get rich quickly, nor will you be able to quick your day job. This will however get you some nice spending cash pretty easily. You don't have to call, email, mail, etc anything to anybody. What I'm talking about is taking surveys. For the record, I get nothing if someone signs up--no points, no money, nothing but a great feeling that I'm helping someone else earns some extra money. Pinecone is a company that I've been taking surveys through for 6 or 7 years now--they pay you and are legit I promise. For every survey you take they pay you $3 or you can pick from the wide variety of merchandise, charities, or gifts cards to suit your fancy. Seriously loads of options! I have pretty much always taking the cash (paypal) because I can't seem to decide. Plus cash can always be put towards my trip fund. The surveys are fairly quick and very simple survey to fi...

I love taking surveys, or rather I LOVE making easy money! Search for "Survey", "work at home" or "easy money" for all the opportunities to make money through surveys and various other sites that you can earn free stuff or free money. While those are all fun, I am constantly on the lookout for more money making ideas. Recently I was able to join the National Consumer Panel .

It wouldn't be good research if they could only see what a four-person household making 75,000/ year was buying. It seemed pretty simple to qualify though- take a short survey and they will be in touch. They also send out other short surveys on different products or on your ...

I've come to realize that there are only so many ways to make extra money while holding down a full-time job. I don't always know what time I'll get off work which pretty much rules out getting a second part-time job. I have a few friends that do this and I don't know how they have the energy to keep up with it. I feel dead by the end of most days and couldn't imagine losing another 3 hours of sleep most nights. I used to donate plasma, but the last time I went in they suddenly decided my veins were now too small. So I started looking into participating in a study.  There a lots quite a few different companies that run medical studies around the country. We have two located in my area- Novum and Axis. Axis hadn't yet opened when I was looking which left me with Novum. From what I've seen so far they do a ton of dermatology tests, meaning no blood draws. Not that blood draws are the worst thing in the world, but I wouldn't pick to do them if I di...
