Survey to Take for Cash - Make money mommy!

By Hailey Gates

Are you a single mom? Do you have a hard time making ends meet? Could you use some extra cash as a cushion for birthdays or emergencies? You could be getting paid taking surveys from home!

There are obvious reasons why getting paid to take surveys is so attractive. The first is that you can do it anytime, right from the privacy of your home. No transportation, no business casual, no daycare needs - just your time and your opinion. Companies all around the country are trying to find out what women like YOU want and need.

Getting paid to take surveys is like getting paid for sharing shopping tips with a friend. A lot of companies know that single moms are some of the most aggressive shoppers out there - and they want to know what brands you like best, or what products you use most. Why not get paid to tell them?

First things first. You are going to need a separate email account - nothing fancy, just a place to get your survey notifications where they won't get mixed up with your other emails. Open one for your kids, too - many companies look for children's input! You can use a different name for your munchkins if you are worried about internet safety.

Next in line: online registration. Find up to half a dozen survey sites with different slants to maximize the number of surveys to take. Enter your new email address along with a easy to remember password, and you are all set to start earning!

Last on the 'to do' list: fill out profiles. These are just to provide the survey sites with general information, so they can pre-qualify you by matching your demographic to the lists of surveys to take. Sometimes you can earn extra bucks or points toward a prize for each profile you complete.

The number of surveys you will be qualified to complete will vary - there may be a few days with only a dozen or so, then a flurry all at once. Since you can work whenever and wherever you have online access, this should be no problem - especially since the average survey only takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete!

Any single mom with money worries can get paid taking surveys. It just takes a little time invested in getting registered and then the possibilities are endless. Some surveys pay as much as $25 or more, so you might even find it becoming a solid source of income!
