In my last article I wrote, “5 Easy Ways to Make Money Online”, I described my frustrations on my search in finding ways to make money doing surveys online. In this article, I want to give you a “tip of the trade” that I discovered.

In most cases, the more money being offered for the survey, the more money YOU have to invest. What does this all mean? Well, many sites say advertise $10, $20 or even more payments to complete surveys. I question these sites on the term “survey”.

Most of these “surveys” are actual what I would call “offers”. They usually include joining some type of membership where you have to pay a monthly fee (e.g. Book clubs, movie clubs, etc.). Sometimes there are legitimate free trial offers or low cost trial offers that may seem interesting. In all these cases, you must submit a credit card. The catch to these offers is that you must remember to cancel BEFORE the end of the trial or your credit card will be charged. I have tried a few fo these offers with much success. However, I am very careful to read all the fine print and cancel on time so that I am not charged. Bottom line, you will not make a fortune off of doing simple surveys.

So, what does all this have to do with the title of this article? You may not make a huge amount of money doing surevys, but you can make some easy and fast money. One survey site I would highly recommend is Light Speed Panel. This site sends several surveys a month. Each survey is usually worth 75 or 150 points. Points can be redeemed for gift cards or money straight to your PayPal account. I found it took about 5 surveys completed in a little over a month to make $5 in my PayPal account. Although this does not seem like a lot of money, the time I spent making it was minimal and easy. I found the surveys on this site to be quick, easy, and enjoyable. So, if you enjoy doing surveys and want to make a quick $5 in your PayPal account, I would highly recommend joining this site. If you are a member of InboxDollars you can sign up for Light Speed Panel through your InboxDollars account and earn $0.50.
