When I was in college I signed up to do these surveys. I swear, I must have signed up for every damn pop up that said, GET PAID up to $25/hr FOR YOUR OPINION! Long story short? Sure, you get paid. But the reality of it is, it's more like $5 for about 45-90 minutes of your time or MOSTLY...A CHANCE to win $50,000 or something equally bogus. My advice...post on craigslist to do odd jobs like babysit, walk dogs, mow lawns (maye shirtless for all you badasses looking for good tips!!!), cleaning homes, washing cars (also shirtsless obviously...haha), etc. Or, find a buddy (or yourself) that does eBay and get rid of the stuff you keep "just in case". Oh, sometimes medium sized companies need advertising via hanging flyers on people's doors, etc. When I was in HIGH-SCHOOL, I hooked up with a school-bus company that paid me $1,400 cash to hang flyers on people's doors in one specific neighborhood. Granted it was about 5,000 flyers. But who cares? Get some friends to spend the afternoon hanging flyers, buy them lunch and you're $1,350 richer...
