Make Money doing Surveys

Most of these are a have, but some are for real...

Smile City takes quite a long time to get points, but it is very easy to do so. For a start you can make it your home page, then just remember to do the 10 second survey (one question) once a day when you log on. That earns 3 points, and when you ave 3300 points you can have a $30 voucher or cheque (cash) sent out. It takes up to 6 weeks to have it sent, bizarrely, but it is money for jam. You can also get extra points for clicking on silly banners, going there first before you shop online (to see if the place you want to shop at is a Smile City "Reward Partner",sign up for e-mails (5 points each), and do surveys when they are sent to you- you can earn as many as 200 points for one 20 minute survey.

The beauty of these surveys is that you can do them when it suits you (they do have time limits occasional), and it is ok to leave it to deal with something else and come back later.

These are very sporadic, but you earn good numbers of points for doing surveys, and they add up quickly to $20 petrol or Warehouse (or various other places) vouchers. I managed to get 3 before Christmas without even realising I was owed any.

Places like Colmar Brunton also do focus groups- you need to go to their office for around 2 hours, and answer questions in a small group. It's fun, and you get fed and watered, and then you get paid :0) The pay is usually around $70-80. You can also do online surveys for flybuys points with Colmar Brunton.

This works for Auckland people, but there are likely similar set-ups in other main centres, and possibly smaller towns as well.
