  Cheque Arrived from OpinionOutpost.com Surveys | (0)

  The third and final cheque from my online survey experiment came in today! $25.50. So Opinion Outpost definitely seems legit since I’ve now received three payments from three different survey panels. This cheque from Opinion Outpost arrived yesterday (Oct 20/09). I had submitted the request for the cheque back on Sept 22/09. At the time when I requested the cheque, Opinion Outpost had indicated that it would take 4-8 weeks to arrive. It took exactly 4 weeks for the cheque to arrive. This is at the low end of the specified wait time which is good, although I should ...

  SurveyLion Review Update – It’s Pay Day Surveys | (0)

  Today I received a check in the mail from Canadian viewpoint. At first I couldn’t recall who Canadian Viewpoint was or figure out why they’d be sending me a cheque. That’s when I noticed a reference to surveys and the name SurveyLion. You may recall that SurveyLion is one of three online survey panels that I reviewed. You can check out the original review of SurveyLion here or the follow up review here. In the last review, I mentioned that I had not yet received the compensation that I had requested. I had submitted the request for the cheque ...

  My Online Survey Experiment: The conclusion Surveys | (0)

  I’d like to wrap up the survey experiment that I conducted from mid August through to mid September. I learned a lot about taking surveys and I’ve spent some time doing some data analysis that I’d like to share with you. I’ll show you how the three survey panels tested stack up against one another, how much money I made from them, and which one is my top pick. Finally I tell you my opinion on whether participating in online surveys is worth while. Generally speaking, taking surveys was a good experience. I spent just under 8 hours taking ...

  Review of SurveyLion.com Part II Surveys | (0)

  Yesterday I wrote a follow up review of GreenfieldOnline.com. Today I’m going to post another follow up review, this time of SurveyLion.com. You can find the original review of Survey Lion over here. Last time I discussed the the company, their website, referral program etc. This time, I’m going to share my personal experiences after participating in their panel for a month. Survey Lion was very different from the other panels I tried. They are an independent research firm and only deliver their own surveys. As a result I received much fewer surveys from Survey Lion than from ...

  Review of GreenfieldOnline.com Part II Surveys | (0)

  Today I’m writing a follow up review of GreenfieldOnline.com. You can find the original review of Greenfield over here. Greenfield was a decent panel that did really well at some things and terrible at others let me tell you a little about my experiences. Quantity of Surveys Of the 50 surveys I received during the month long experiment, 26 of them were from Greenfield Online. Of these 26 surveys from Greenfield, I managed to complete 4 or 15%. When I say complete I mean surveys that I could actually get all the way through without being told that I do not qualify. ...

  Online Survey Experiment Comes to an End Surveys | (0)

  I’m pleased to announce that this past Saturday marked the end of my one month online survey experiment. Between August 19th and September 19th, exactly 50 surveys showed up in my inbox. I attempted all but two surveys within 24 hours of receipt. The other two were started within 36 hours. I have done my best to complete all surveys honestly, accurate and in a timely matter in order to provide meaningful results to myself and readers of this blog. I did earn some money, although it’s all banked in the three survey panel accounts. I have requested payment ...

  The Survey Offer that was too Good miscellaneous, Surveys | (0)

  Some time ago I signed up for CanadaSurveyPanel assuming I would receive invitations to surveys that I could complete in exchange for cash. It turned out that this “survey panel” is just a newsletter that delivers useless information to my inbox from time to time. For some reason I have never un-subscribed from this service. Not long ago, I received an email from CanadaSurveyPanel with an offer that peaked my interest. The offer was for a survey panel called SurveyHead.com. The offer promised that in exchange for signing up as a member on SurveyHead.com, $5.00 would be deposited into ...

  Review of GreenfieldOnline.com Surveys | (0)

  This is the second of three reviews that I will be conducting on the Survey Sites used in my online survey experiment. Check out my review of SurveyLion.com if you haven’t already.
