THE FACEBOOK APPLICATION IS HERE

We have been in the process of planning, designing, and creating a beneficial Facebook Application for several months, and have completed the finishing touches, making it ready for your enjoyment! This App is basically a shell of our main site. You can complete offers there, take daily surveys, play the slot machine (with free daily spins!), and more. The best part… you can invite all of your friends and, when they accept, they become your referrals. There will also be many opportunities to publish winnings & earnings to your wall. Again, when one of your friends follows that publication to our App, they would become your referral. The earnings potential here is amazing!

FEBRUARY REFERRAL CONTEST

This month, we are offering a referral contest with over $6000 in prizes available! To make it easy to collect part of the prize money, we will be paying the top 20 winners. Based upon previous contest participation, even if you think you can only refer a few people, you still have a shot at this! For more details check out the forum thread.

$50 Treasure Hunt

Be sure to visit the forum on Thursday, February 25th at 8pm CST for a chance to win $50! Our monthly Treasure Hunt will be held at this time, so just grab your ticket from Mabutu’s Trading Hut, show up on time, and you will have a shot at the prize money!

NEWSLETTER BONUS OFFERS

Every month, we give you the opportunity to complete some bonus offers. You will earn $1 for every bonus offer that you complete (with a maximum of 3 per newsletter). Click the button below to get started, then choose “yes” next to the bonus offers that you’d like to complete. The offers will pop up one at a time, and you can complete them from there. These are offers that you won’t find in our normal offers section and are, therefore, just a bonus for those of you that take the time to read our newsletters!

Welcome to Part 4

When it comes to paid surveys there are two types of paid surveys. There are the type that are hosted at paid survey sites that conduct thousands of surveys a year and then you have the small study conducted by a smaller firm. These smaller firms still need you to participate and they pay handsomely. Smaller firms surveys usually pay $50+ and sometimes are a little more difficult to find on a regular basis.

Good thing you found me. I have set up a twitter account that has updates to these surveys. As I find them on my journey I will let you know.

That’s it for this lesson,

Paid Surveys And You! http://theguruseye.com/blog1/2010/02/13/paid-surveys-and-you/ http://theguruseye.com/blog1/2010/02/13/paid-surveys-and-you/#comments Sat, 13 Feb 2010 17:00:55 +0000 Administrator http://theguruseye.com/blog1/?p=784 Paid Surveys and You!


Paid surveys are a great part time income. Paid surveys are beneficial for marketing firms and survey takers alike. Flexibility is in my opinion one of the best benefits of paid surveys.

Completing an average  survey takes less then 15 minutes and pays between  $ 2-10 each. Most panelist can complete an average of 4 surveys per hour. To really make enough money taking paid surveys you should join multiple paid survey panels and take multiple surveys per day. Most paid survey panels only send 1-3 surveys per week and you might not fit the demo graphical needs for the survey that they send you. By joining multiple paid survey sites you ensure that you will receive tons of surveys per day then you can pick and choose from the highest potential earning surveys for the day.

How many surveys could you complete in a day? What do you think your earning potential is? Per day, per month?

Looking for the panels could be quiet a dougnting experience, sifting thru the countless scam and spam sites will over-run your email within minutes if you join the wrong sites.

Some surveys are a one time research studies that pay out higher amounts, however finding these surveys are even harder. Here is a twitter account that is set up for just the single opportunity surveys http://twitter.com/paid_survey. This twitter account is a rotating

Expectations Of Paid Survey Sites http://theguruseye.com/blog1/2010/02/12/expectations-of-paid-survey-sites/ http://theguruseye.com/blog1/2010/02/12/expectations-of-paid-survey-sites/#comments Fri, 12 Feb 2010 12:58:21 +0000 Administrator http://theguruseye.com/blog1/?p=805

Today’s lesson is on Expectations. Expectations of the survey sites you will be joining and the expectations that you should have for any site that you choose to join.

Here are some expectations that survey sites have for the panelists

-          Market research studies are designed to find out information, these survey sites want honest answers and opinions even if you don’t like a product or idea, tell them.

-          Survey sites need you to fill out a complete profile of yourself. These are designed to let them know what interests you have, so they can send you surveys that pertain to you and your way of life.

-          Survey sites expect you to let them know when things change in your household such as having a new baby or purchasing a flat screen TV. This information will help them to better qualify you in the future.

-          Online survey sites also expect you to let them know when you are not going to be able to take surveys for a extended length of time, most sites have a area to let them know that you are going on vacation or just not able to take the surveys for a certain amount of time.

Expectations you should have for survey sites you join

-          You should expect as a panelist for any survey panel, compensation for your time whether its cash, gift cards or sweepstakes entries.

-          You should expect that if you spend the time on the profile questions that the survey company will send you surveys that pertain to you to complete.

-          You should expect that surveys are sent to you frequently ( 1 per month at least ) depending on your demographics.

-          You should expect that if you join a survey site that they hold your personal information confidential, this includes your email address.

Here are some of the most secure survey Panels

Organization And Tools http://theguruseye.com/blog1/2010/02/12/organization-and-tools/ http://theguruseye.com/blog1/2010/02/12/organization-and-tools/#comments Fri, 12 Feb 2010 12:56:31 +0000 Administrator http://theguruseye.com/blog1/?p=796

Today’s lesson is organization and tools, without them you will be pulling your hair trying to remember your passwords and remembering what sites you take surveys for. These tools will allow you to log into and check all your accounts in less than 2 minutes.

Setting up your bookmarks is essential; bookmarks are an easy way to navigate through the internet. They let you get to your survey sites very efficiently. To have complete control we recommend using Modzilla FireFox. It is free and has fewer bugs than Internet Explorer. Once you have downloaded, come back to this post with the new browser and move on to the next step.

Setting up a Favorites toolbar in a browser from Carrie Sallee on Vimeo.

-          1st you want to right click once on your tool bar at the top of the browser this will bring up a toolbar menu that asks you what you want to do? You want to select “New Folder” this will then ask you to name your folder and most likely a small description. I suggest that you simply name this “Survey Sites”

-          2nd whenever you join a survey site put the site into the folder, when you are using firefox all you have to do is left click and hold on the tab’s website and drag and drop into your folder. It’s that easy.

-          3rd (recommended) You will want to set up a new email address for just survey sites I recommend using a different service than the one you currently use now, so you can have both mail clients open at the same time. It’s not necessary but it keeps your survey emails away from your normal correspondents.

-          4th When survey sites send you invitations, add the contact to your white-list of contacts in your mail client. This way you won’t miss any available surveys.

Next up free tools to speed up joining and taking surveys. Have you ever wanted to join a site and they had a ton of information that you had to fill out just to join and you asked yourself if there ways an easier way? The answer is yes there is an easier way, it’s called Roboform. Roboform is an auto-form filler. One click and it fills in all your recurring information, it makes joining sites super quick. The best part is it’s FREE. Let’s get you started.

- First click here to go to the Roboform site and download the free auto form filler.

-          Next install the program by double clicking on the download.

-          If the program didn’t start asking you your information, go to your computer downloads file and open it from there.

-           Once you have installed this program create a user, I recommend only putting basic information such as name, address, phone number, email, preferred password, preferred username.

To use Roboform all you have to do is click on the username that’s in your browsers toolbar when you are on a webpage that is asking the information from you. It does the rest.

Ready to show off your skills with the information you just learned? Below is a list of sites that you need to join today, these sites allow you to use Roboform to fill in your demographic information. Click on your country’s name so that you sign up with the right site.

Hello again, today we are going over Focus Groups and Product Testing

Online Focus Groups and Product testing are great to participate in, you receive larger amounts of compensation for a minimal amount of work and you usually get the inside knowledge about the newest stuff.

Everyday, companies are creating new products and services or trying to think up ways to improve already existing ones. That’s where you, come in. Companies value your ideas and opinions and are willing to compensate you for them. Online focus groups and product testing give market research firms the real information they are looking for.

Some survey sites ask you to participate in product testing. When you are asked to participate in product tests you should complete them to the best of your ability. Most product tests last no more than 1 week but some take longer. The longer they take the more compensation you will receive. Most product testing research studies will let you keep the item after you are done testing. Below are a few of the survey sites that ask you to participate in these product tests.
