Making Money from Home (from a real person's perspective)

So, my husband got a new job, forcing me to quit my part time job. While I am not too worried about money because of his income, I have always liked to make a little money of my own. Since I am a mommy, I needed to find a way to make a little bit of cash working from home. I don't know about you, but I'm not one to pay into some work from home deal. So, I tried out a few paid survey sites. You have probably heard about these and if you have tried them, you know they are not going to make you rich, but they are actually kind of fun, and if you aren't looking to get rich or make a real income, I have some advice. So, here are a few of my favorites.....(BTW, these are sites that I use and have received payment or free products to test) 1. Global Test Market You take surveys for points that can be redeemed for cash, or gift certificates to places like Amazon.com. While the points don't add up very quickly, the fun is in the product testing. About every third survey that I take ends of offering me a product to test. How does it work? I take a survey and if I am qualified, they ship me a product to test for a period of time. Then I return to the site to take a survey about the product. They ship it for free, the product is free, and I get paid to give my opinion about it. Win Win! So, if you would like to try this one, I highly recommend it. You can sign up here Online Paid Surveys 2. Opinion Outpost This is the best one I have seen for actual payout. They will pay you cash on your paypal account for taking surveys, or in Amazon.com cards. I don't like dealing with Paypal, so I take the Amason.com online gift cards. I was with Opinion Outpost for less than 2 months and I had already earned enough points to cash out $15.00 in Amazon gift card points. They offer about as many surveys as you can find time to take 3. Ipsos Isay This one is about the same as the two before, same kinds of payouts, and again, I like this one a lot because they send me freebies to test. I know it sounds too good to be true, but there are about a million of these supposed paid survey sites, and these are fun, legit, and if you like to try fun new things before anyone else, they are for you! This week I am testing: Toilet paper, Chocolate bars, veggie Burgers, and a new perfume
