I started this project to prove that it really is possible to make money by taking online surveys and participating in focus groups.
I've done it for years and there's really no reason anyone with internet access and a mailing address can't make some spare coin.
This is really an easy way to make some cash from home. I have a friend who does this on her laptop with the TV going and she takes her vacations on the cash she brings in.
It depends on what you want to get out of it. My husband has a full-time job and works 50 - 60 hours a week and so spent very little time on surveys but still pulled in over $250 last year.
Not a fortune but it pulled in a few greens' fees for him.
Like everything else, you get out of it what you put into it and I started this web site to see how much can actually be made without giving up my life.
The easy part is, of course, you can do this from home. I usually take care of my surveys over coffee in the morning and then check my email in the evening just in case any larger cash opportunities showed up while I was at work.
So take a look around. I'll be documenting my progress and any bumps in the road that lay ahead.
