When I became a mom, I started a quest for a "Work at Home" program that would allow me to stay at home. I decided to start this blog to share my experience so hopefully you can avoid the same mistakes and frustrations that I encountered. If you have a program that you would like me to buy before you do, or if you own a program that you would me to review, please e-mail me at: bytemi at gmail.com

Opinion Outpost - Get Paid for Surveys
I receive survey invitations all the time and they are usually fun and quick. The worse part of doing surveys online, is the length of survey, if I see a survey that is 20 minutes or longer I dread completing it because my attention span dies!
With Opinion Outpost the surveys are short and I actually learn something by completing them.
What is Opinion Outpost?
Opinion Outpost is an online survey research panel. Joining Opinion Outpost is absolutely free. They are currently accept members from the US and Canada.
What rewards do Opinion Outpost members earn for taking surveys?
Members generally earn $2 to $5 per survey completed depending on the length and difficulty of the surveys.
I would definitely vote this site, one of the best!

Survey Savvy
How Does Survey Savvy Membership Work?
Out of all registered members of Survey Savvy, they target various demographic groups according to criteria established by our clients. As soon as your profile matches the criteria for a specific survey, they will invite you via email to participate.
If you qualify for and complete the survey, they will credit your Survey Savvy account for the amount mentioned in your invitation. You can then request payment by logging-in to the member's area and clicking on "View Earnings and Get Paid!" you will be paid by check which will be sent to your registered address.
There is no guarantee as to how many surveys you may receive and/or participate in. That is based on your personal profile and what the Survey Savvy client's are looking for, and if you fit into any open quota group.
There is no real average as to how many most people are invited to. The amount varies, but you may receive more if you keep your profile up to date.

American Consumer Opinion
American Consumer Opinions is another survey site that I have been a member of for years.
I find that American Consumer Opinion is a little different from other survey sites in the fact that they do not list open surveys on their web site. Panel members who are invited to complete a survey are sent an email from Anne Parks that contains the web address of the survey they are invited to complete. I know what you are thinking, all site send e-mails, which is true, but in addition to sending e-mails most sites have a place where you can log in and check on currently available surveys. American Consumer Opinion does not.
They use the information from the registration page (such as age, gender, geographic location, type of employment, and more) to match against the criteria for each survey on a case-by-case basis.
I receive 1 to 5 surveys a week from them and the compensation is $1 to up to $10, that is most I have ever encounter. What also makes them different is even if you don't qualify to take the survey, they enter you into a monthly drawing for $10,000.
Of course like all legitimate get paid for your opinion sites, it is free to join and only takes about 5 minutes to complete the application for membership.

Vocal Labs - Get Paid to Make Calls
Vocal Labs is different from other survey sites that I will be listing in the next couple of weeks. Because you get paid to call a toll-free phone number, try to get some information or complete a task, and then do an on-line survey about your experience.
Vocal Lab customers are usually interested in knowing what your experience was like, so they can improve their customer service. Sometimes, you may be asked to visit a web site, or send E-mail somewhere. There may be times you will be asked to do something at a particular time or on a particular day.
Generally, the more things you are asked to do, the more money the survey is worth. You are paid at least 50 cents per completed task and on average it is about a $1.00. The money is sent to your paypal account 5 days after completing the task there is NO minimum payout amount.
