WOOHOO.... I'm having a GREAT 'making money on the internet' this morning. I also did 3 fairly decent surveys for a total of $32. One day I'm going to figure out a way to make a REAL living off of this d*mn puter!

It can really come down to your demographics....as far as age, location and a variety of other things. I'll have months I do great....and other times it's dry as a bone. Latino guys in their late 20's are the most sought after....don't know why. (Yeah...you can lie...no one knows who you are....but it becomes too much of a hassle to keep up with all the identities).

My kids also like doing surveys. They make a few $10/$25 gift cards each month from the 'just teen' sites. Weekly Reader (www.WRrinsider.com) is a real nice safe site for kids. TeensEyes.com is good too.

The only prob is that some sites are really slow paying. It can take 2-6 weeks...so it takes awhile to have regular money coming in. I'm trying to load up my PayPal now so I can donate some to the D00KSTER's site.

I'll send you links to different kinds of stuff you can do online...and you can see which ones interest you. I got my FIRST Mystery Shopper job today....actually 2 for the same day. Both stores are close to each other....so it'll be a breeze. The only pay like $15 a piece...but I'd be out with Chloe goofing around anyway. As it is, I'll have a little extra to buy her something special or take her out to a nice lunch.

I got an offer for one that paid $100....but I didn't qualify because I personally don't wear prescription glasses.

The best part is that I started making a few bucks online without ever putting a dime into it. I never had anything to lose but time and I would've been online anyway.

I think you have to be a Yank to participate in most of these surveys don't you?

darkangelism · 02-23-2006, 02:23 AM

probably.

No! Canada has their own. Many are USA/Canada only. Some are international. This is why most pay thru PayPal. The USD is so low....some people make extra money just on the currency exchange. HAHA!

Signing up and weeding thru all these things takes a lot of your time up though.

BTW, I've been asked to post another survey for the University of Windsor. I'm just asking her to check the link and the info. and I'll be posting it on the main page.

BTW, they actually put a link to Lifesupporters.com on their University Website, how cool is that? I wouldn't mind getting involved in more of these interpersonal surveys at a site level especially if we can exchange links with the sites running the surveys.

Probably the hand full of college sites might be helpful.....I don't have any for Canada though. The other survey sites aren't really all that 'people' friendly. They just want to make money off of you and pay as little as they can get by with. Within the next year, I'm going to have MY OWN survey site...and I'll link you right up!!! Survey sites probably get more traffic than anything on the web....but porn. LOL!

Country, state, province isn't a problem. Yes I'm a Canadian and yes this is a Canadian Based Website but our members are from all over so it's really a world wide website.

Also, I'm currently looking into moving everything to a Texas based webhosting company so if it ends up panning out, we will no longer be a Canadian Based Website.

Great. As if LS wasn't puritanical enough already.

Typical Texas webhost:

It's not a matter of being puritanical. It's a matter of respecting the fact that children/younger teens sometimes post on here or are members of the sister gaming sites and may end up here. It's our responsibility as adults to protect them. There are plently of adult oriented forums to provide adult banter. Many people on here are members of several forums in order to meet whatever they may be looking for in terms of entertainment.

Ok whatever you call it, you can expect tolerances to be less in Texas:
