I was super excited to log into my Instant Cash Sweepstakes account this morning to see I had won yesterday’s $50 daily prize drawing! My hand was itching yesterday so I knew money was coming from somewhere, I was hoping for the lottery but this is awesome too

Unfamiliar with Instant Cash Sweepstakes? It is an easy three question survey site that is completely FREE to join and gives you the opportunity to earn/win a few cents each time you answer a set of questions. Plus you also have a chance to win daily $2 prizes (drawn every four hours) and the daily $50 cash drawing.

For an even better chance to win, ICS has a referral program. Every person that signs up through your referral link will be placed in your “friend list”, from then on when they win, you win! $2 prizes are included but the $50 winners are not matched.

Payments are made via PayPal and can be requested once your account reaches $2.00. I’ve been a member since early 2009 and have never had any issues with being paid. I love this site!

Be sure to also sign up at their sister site Paid Viewpoint to complete short surveys (usually around 10 questions but no more then 25) in exchange for cash.

Want to earn a little money on your blog but don’t want to mess with joining a bunch of affiliate programs? VigLink might be a fit for you.

To get started, join VigLink and copy and paste a small bit of code into your blog files. Your links will then automatically be switched to affiliate links (your visitors won’t notice any difference in load times nor will they see additional ads, etc. It’s all done behind the scenes) and you’ll earn commissions on any sales you make.

Even if you are a member of other affiliate programs, VigLink still offers a nice back up for any links you don’t have affiliated or don’t want to bother with. It doesn’t affect your already affiliated links unless you choose to have them over-rided.

I’ve been using it for several months now and am definitly glad I found out about it (thanks Chief Family Officer). I’m pretty convinced that some sales are missed but I figure if you aren’t going to earn anything anyway.. a little is better then none

I just earned a little cash at HCDSurveys by watching a few of the Super Bowl commercials and then giving my opinion of them.

It’s been a few months since I mentioned Instant Cash Sweepstakes so I thought I would post a reminder that the site is still up and going strong.

It’s been a couple months but yesterday I won the $50 daily prize! Of course I won because it’s my “lucky week” .. no really, that’s what my horoscope said in Star magazine and I’m pretty sure that’s a reliable source

Anyway, don’t forget to play when you have a free minute or two, you never know when you might win!

Viewpoint Forum is one of my favorite survey sites. Their surveys aren’t super long, they offer product testing and you can cash out once your account reaches $10.

You must be referred by a current member so if you would like an invitation, leave a comment on this post (or email me) with your first name and I’ll send one out to the email address you’ve commented with.

This week I received a little extra money from MindField Online, Survey Savvy and Instant Cash Sweepstakes.

I know any extra money is usually a good thing this time of year so I thought I’d pass it along. You certainly won’t get rich with these sites but you can definitely earn a few bucks here and there.

I just completed a screener for a product test from Survey Savvy and cashed out my account so I thought I would mention them again.

I love testing new products, I just received a lotion to test from a survey company (they aren’t taking any new people at this time) and a sunblock from She Speaks. It’s not only a fun way to try new products but they usually pay you as well (She Speaks doesn’t pay).

Here are a few other sites I have tested products from in the past…

My Survey, American Consumer Opinion, In Home Product Testing, and Opinion Outpost.

The following are awesome survey sites but I can’t remember if they do product testing or not : Focus Forward, HCD Surveys, Valued Opinions, 20/20 Research, and Baker Street,

Instant Cash Sweepstakes has recently added a new way to win cash! Every four hours they host $2 drawing. The odds are better because you have to manually enter tickets for each drawing. Not everyone is going to take the time to do this.

Which leads me to another improvement at Instant Cash Sweepstakes, the entering process! Entering tickets into the daily drawing is really simple now and takes no time at all.

On the right hand side of your survey screen you will see pull out tabs for the $50 drawing and the $2 drawing. You just type in the number of coins you want to trade for tickets and your done! I love it!

I love it so much, I entered a ton of coins I had let build up over months and won the $50 drawing yesterday!

Unfamiliar with Instant Cash Sweepstakes? It is an easy three question survey site that is completely FREE to join and gives you the opportunity to earn/win a few cents each time you answer a set of questions. Plus you also have a chance to win the daily $50 prize or the daily $2 prizes.

For an even better chance to win, ICS has a referral program. Every person that signs up through your referral link will be placed in your “friend list”, from then on when they win, you win! $2 prizes are included but the $50 winners are no longer matched.

Payments are made via PayPal and can be requested once your account reaches $2.00. I’ve been paid well over $1,000 since signing up last year and have always been paid very quickly once I request it.

I just received a $13 check from Survey Savvy so I thought I would mention them again.

Survey Savvy pays cash for each survey you qualify for and complete and occasionally offer product testing. The best thing about this company is there is no minimum to cash out. If you have money in your account, they’ll send you a check.

Other legitimate survey sites include HCD Surveys, Valued Opinions, My Survey, American Consumer Opinion, 20/20 Research, Baker Street, Opinion Outpost and In Home Product Testing

Of course I can’t leave out Instant Cash Sweepstakes the easiest survey site around.

Survey sites won’t make you rich but it’s an excellent way to earn a little cash. Remember, you don’t have to complete every survey they send you. You pick and choose which ones are worth your time.

Today I received a payment of $20.74 from Instant Cash Sweepstakes so thought I would mention them again.

Instant Cash Sweepstakes is an easy three question survey site that is completely FREE to join and gives you the opportunity to earn/win a few cents each time you answer a set of questions.

They also randomly award a $50 prize to one person every single day! I’ve won this a number of times in the past.

Another awesome thing about ICS is their tell a friend program. Every person that signs up through your referral link will be placed in your “friend list”, from then on when they win, you win! They match prizes 100%, even the daily $50 wins!

Payments are made via PayPal and can be requested once your account reaches $2.00. I’ve been paid well over $1,000 since signing up last year and have always been paid very quickly once I request it.

It’s been awhile since I’ve written about BigCrumbs and since I just received a small payment I thought this would be the perfect time.

BigCrumbs is a cash back site like Ebates, Mr. Rebates, Shop At Home, etc. You earn cash back on online purchases when you shop through their links.

The main difference between BigCrumbs and the others is their referral program. You get cash back not only when you purchase items online but also when your referrals AND their referrals shop online! That can really add up!

BigCrumbs pays via Paypal (or a prepaid MasterCard) around the 15th of every month. You must have at least $5 in your account to receive payment.

If you aren’t a member yet, sign up and start earning!
