I haven't done too badly with surveys this year. Last year, I barely made $80 doing surveys, but this year I've made over $300 from it so far:
(Updated Dec 16th)
Jan - $69.82
Feb - $46.47
Mar - $15.60
Apr - $13.30
May - $13.89
Jun - $11.54
Jul - $65.92
Aug - $59.13
Sep - $17.94
Oct - $0.00
Nov - $22.43
Dec - $11.65
Total: $347.69
(Most payments were received in pounds. However, I'm used to dealing in dollars; hence the dollar reflection. I calculated the exchange rate at time of payment receipt.)

Pinecone Research - $86.59 (£57.00)
Saros Research (focus group) - $51.96 (£35.00)

Home of Research - $33.65 (£20.00) (i like the site but it takes FOREVER to reach payout. Don't think I'll be going back.)

TOTAL: $347.69
The $500 Challenge...
I'm trying to see if I can make a total of $500 this year from surveys. I won't be heartbroken if I don't reach it, but it's a challenge I'm setting myself nonetheless. I'd need to make $50 a month. My survey earnings tend to fluctuate (as you can see above) – I might make $15 in Sept, then make $45 the following month. It's the way the cookie crumbles, but I'm curious to see if I can do it.
I'm beginning to dread doing surveys any longer than 15 minutes so that's gonna be a challenge in itself. I find myself actually deleting them these days.
I've set up a twitter profile: Surveyosity. I'll be updating my progress on a more frequent basis there.
Enjoy the rest of your week, y'all. Heave your dreams into it.
Too-doo-loo, tippity tip, Bob's ya aunty...

Surveyosity? :-) Great name! The name invokes thoughts of a young, fun & funky brand identity.
You go girl! With your creative self :-)
Hey,
Good going with surveys... I see a downtrend since March but that seems to have recovered by July. Are we seeing a recovery from recession? Even the stock market trends, Ad CPM rates seem to indicate the same.
I am also looking at the work online site
Good luck!

Hi Annette :-)

Ajith,
I was thinking about you today. Good to hear from you. Must pass by your blog soon.
re: the survey sites - it's more of an upward trend 'cos that's when I reached payouts on certain sites (GlobalTestMarket, Home of Research).
I wouldn't recommend Work-Online, not at the rates they're now paying. It's entirely up to you though.
take care now...
WTG girl on all your earnings from surveys. I have never earned that much in doing surveys, but then again, I don't always have time to read the e-mails they send either lol.
On another note, "Bob's ya Aunty"? swear that sounds like something my family would say lol
Hi drknlvly6781 ;-)
Thanks.
I've been on a survey hiatus for the past week...and I'm loving it!
The emails are easy to read - it's the surveys that can do your head in. I can just about take a 10 minute one. These days, 15 minutes is pushing it.
Focus group surveys are real cool, though. I love those and they pay really well, just that I tend not to get a lot of them.
re: Bob's ya Aunty - can you imagine it on a t-shirt?! :-)
take care...thanks for passing through...and have a lovely week.
