James is a married man whose wife recently had their first child. Before the baby came, James worried about how he would be able to afford another person in the home. His wife could not work because she needed to take care of her ill grandmother. That left him to make sure that they bills were paid each week.

As the pregnancy got near the end, James realized that his blue collar job at the local manufacturing company would not be enough with the new addition to his family. He looked for a side job that he could do early in the mornings so that he could still spend the evenings with his wife and child. He finally gained a newspaper route, and used his vehicle to deliver close to 90 newspapers each morning except Sunday.

It was not long before the newspaper gig began to take its toll on James. He was exhausted from getting up two hours early six mornings a week to deliver the papers. By the time he got home, showered, and left for his full time job, he was already ready for bed.

His job performance was beginning to slack, but his boss was a long time friend. He knew James was having a hard time and had a baby on the way, so he overlooked the problem.

When his wife had the baby, James tried his best to be attentive to his wife and new daughter. It was difficult though, as he wanted to hit the sack as soon as he arrived home each evening. This made cooking, cleaning up, and spending quality time with his family difficult. Some nights he felt like a zombie functioning on auto-pilot.

Taking surveys for money would have been a much better alternative for James than his second job with the newspaper. He could have woken up about 30 minutes rather than two minutes early and completed a few surveys. He would then have plenty of time to get dressed, have breakfast with his wife, spend a few minutes with his daughter, and then be out the door for work.

When he arrived home each evening, he could do one or two more surveys, then enjoy the rest of the night with his family. He would not be driving all over the neighborhood each morning, adding mileage to his car. He would be able to sleep later each morning, making him well rested for the day ahead. His job would not suffer as a result of him being so busy every single day.

With taking surveys for money, James could have made at least double what he was getting paid for his paper route. Most of those jobs pay minimum wage. If he worked two hours a day for $8 an hour, that is only $96 each week. By taking surveys, however, he can earn $10 or more for each one. If he was able to take just three a day, which is about one hour of work, he could make $150 without working weekends.

There is a website called SurveyMoneyMachine.com that allows you to sign up with a number of paid survey companies. The site does not spam your email, and provides this service free of charge.

When Jason enrolled into college, he thought he would be able to enjoys his evenings and weekends. He knew this new chapter in his life would involve studying for exams and getting up early for classes, but living the college life was sure to mean parties, staying up all night on the weekends, and flirting with the ladies.

However, as Jason’s funds for school started to dwindle, he quickly realized that he was going to have to find a way to make money. He applied for several jobs in the area, and finally landed a position as a pizza delivery boy. The job was only part time, but Jason figured it would be better than nothing.

At first, his new job was great. It didn’t seem to take up too much of his time, though he had only been to one party since starting the position three weeks before. Plus, it was allowing him to get used to the new city he had moved to in order to attend the school of his choice. What he did realize at first, however, was the toil it was taking on his older model vehicle.

It wasn’t long until Jason found that he was unhappy with his job. Even though it was only part time, it was taking up a great deal of what little time he did have outside of school. When he wasn’t in class or at work, he seemed to be studying, eating, or sleeping. His life went on like this for the entire semester, and he found that he was miserable.

Another negative aspect of being a pizza boy was that Jason wasn’t making much money. He was working for a measly $9 an hour, and would occasionally make $5-$10 in tips. However, that went straight into his gas tank each week, as he had to buy fuel so often due to the number of deliveries he had made. After only three months at his job, he was getting ready to have a second oil change done, which would cost a nice chunk of his weekly check.

What Jason did not realize was that there was another way to earn money on the side. He could be taking paid surveys rather than adding mileage to his car and taking up so much of each evening delivering pizzas. He could be making his hourly wage, or perhaps more, with just one survey! Additionally, since most surveys take about 20 minutes to complete, he could have tripled his wages with much less work in the same amount of time.

If he had known about them, surveys for money would have allowed Jason to make extra cash straight from his dorm room. He could relax on his futon with his laptop, making more money in one night than he could in two to three nights as a delivery boy. This would have allowed him more time to study and hang out with his friends.

Can I share a few of my thoughts as I drove to the grocery store the other day?

So there I was driving in the early evening and enjoying the lunar eclipse when suddenly I was struck with thoughts about the future. More of a conscience call actually. I thought about how unemployment was holding steady at 10% and why so many Americans are relying on welfare for their day-to-day existence. My thoughts wandered on the deep freeze in Europe and in North America and how that has jacked up our gasoline prices. I thought about the economy in general this Christmas season and how hard it was for some of us considering it is the season of joy.

Many people must be experiencing a whole lot of worry and grief as they go from one job interview to the other. Aching for that call that never comes.  It must be a nerve-wracking experience, something I have not gone through in a long while. I wish I can tell them that’s there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. That they are not alone in their plight and that there are different ways and means to earn. Not just to get by and survive but to make a decent living.

I’m talking about doing paid online surveys. This work has not just saved me but also gave me a hope and a future to rally on and believe that all is not lost. And indeed all is not. People need to believe that they can make a difference in this world. That their standard of living should not be based on the economy and where it’s headed. People should take charge of their own lives and live. And be confident of the future and what it holds. I found this confidence in taking paid surveys. A steady gig with a steady income that pays the bills and more.

As I continued my drive I earnestly prayed for my family, my colleagues and my friends, as well as for those who have nothing on their tables, maybe not even a roof over their heads. Christmas is about sharing, sharing what you have, and helping out your brother, sister and neighbour in need. I have been sharing this gospel of paid surveys and will continue to do so, as I carry out my part in nation building. Keep the faith! Merry Christmas everyone!

All the Best,

Hailey

Are you tired of waiting for survey offers to come? Well, I think most of you are.

Wait no more for I have here three easy ways on how you can be more visible to the paid survey site you are affiliated with.

The HOT List.

Most legitimate paid survey sites have a database of their best-paying survey offers. These survey offers are worth from $5-$10 each. With Survey Money Machines, this hot list is introduced right after you log in. And boy, their list is very informative. They give you the company profiles and the users’ comments and ratings.

Checking of your Inbox.

Paid survey sites periodically send you an email notification if a high-paying survey is available for you to take. You should be able to check your inbox for these updates because they often contain the links to the survey opportunities.

Be Active and Consistent.

One thing that most survey-takers are not aware of is that survey companies give out abundant surveys ONLY to those who are consistent and actively participating in their offers. You just have to be patient and soon, they’ll send you with quality paid surveys to take.

Just follow these tips and I am sure that the survey offers will be coming in in droves!
