Get Paid to Take Shopping Surveys

Partnership Plus is a very unique teen survey company that is interested in making your shopping experience better. When you sign up, you will be asked to fill in a little information about yourself and your household (as with any survey panel). Then you'll be asked to watch a short training video that will get you your first 75 "Partnership Points".
The idea of the site is that once a month you will be asked to tell them about the clothing that you purchased (or someone purchased for you) during the previous month. As a reward, you recieve more points and entries into daily ($100), weekly ($1000), and monthly ($5000) sweeptakes. Once you get your first 1000 points, you can redeem them for money in the form of a check.
I had 275 points within about 15 minutes of being a member. You can request checks in amounts from $10 (1000 points) to $100 (5500 points). If you think winning some extra money and being able to affect the stores you enjoy shopping at is worth a few minutes of your time each month, check out Partnership Plus here.

Earn Money Watching Commercials with AdPerk

Face it. The internet is FULL of advertisements. On nearly every website you visit, there's an ad trying to get you to buy something or to visit another site. Now obviously these companies pay for advertisements, but they would be completely meaningless without YOU, the viewer and potential customer. However, very rarely do the viewers receive any rewards.

AdPerk wants to change this. AdPerk rewards you with credits for watching short video ads. You select the ads you want, so you only view those you're interested in. You can then use these credits to "buy" free gift cards, magazine subscriptions, and other cool stuff.

AdPerk rewards you for something you already do when you surf the web. You choose the reward you want, and watch the ads you want. You win awesome prizes for spending a few minutes watching commercials. If that sounds like a good deal to you, check out AdPerk.

(AdPerk is open to anyone over 13.)

YouData Payment Proof

After being a member of YouData for only 2 days, I recieved my first payment! It's not much, but it's definitely worth the time it took me to click 4 ads! If you didn't read my post about YouData, check it out here.

Get Paid for Paying Attention with YouData

There are many programs that will promise to pay you for viewing and clicking ads. These are called pay-to-click (or PTC) sites. Many of them claim that you can make lots of money from them, and some people do. However, from my experience, you will earn a few cents (or LESS, sometimes a fraction of a penny) per click. There will only be a few ads to click each day. The only way to earn a decent amount of money is by buying referrals or paying for an upgraded membership, and it will take a while to earn back the money you spend.

However, YouData aims to be something completely different. YouData offers personalized ads, that way you only view ads that are relevant to your life. They pay 5 cents for each banner ad you VIEW (you don't even have to visit the sites). If you do choose to visit the site, you earn an extra 15 cents each. You can earn $1 from viewing and clicking 5 websites, which would literally take only a minute of your time.

YouData is relatively new, so the ad offering are limited as of now. However, YouData was rated as one of the most promising internet marketing ventures of 2009, so there will soon be many more opportunities. YouData pays via Paypal, every Friday. If you would like to earn money for a few minutes of viewing and clicking ads, check out YouData.

Earn Money for Reviewing Music at TrackTesting

TrackTesting is a site similar to Slicethepie that pays you to review music. TrackTesting rewards you in the form of Amazon gift cards and free music compilations. For each test you complete, you will recieve a $0.89 Amazon reward and/or points that are used for buying music. It may not sound like much, but it adds up fast. Tests don't take very long so you will complete most in only a few minutes. A "test" consists of rating and reviewing 5 full length tracks or 10 soundbites (30 second sample tracks).
If you spend around half an hour every day reviewing music as a TrackTester, you would probably be able to complete around 3 tests. That would earn you a little under $3 each day and around $19 a week. That's not even counting the free music you recieve!
So, if you're interesting in getting free Amazon gift cards and music for reviewing tracks, check out TrackTesting here. (TrackTesting is available to anyone 13 or older.)

Swagbucks Proof of Payment

So here's my first Amazon gift card I recieved from Swagbucks, proving that they really do pay! (I recieved another one the day after.)





If you don't know about Swagbucks yet, it's a site that rewards you with cash and prizes just for surfing the web. Check out my post about it here.

Get Paid to Review Music with Slicethepie

Slicethepie is a site that aims to give YOU a slice of the music industry "pie". You earn money as a "Scout", rating and reviewing songs. The more honest and accurate your reviews are, the more money you'll make. The company that owns the site is based in the UK, so all monetary values on the site are given in pounds. However, money is money and since they pay through Paypal, all conversions are done for you.

The minimum cash out amount is £5, or around $7. The first $5 you make, you have to invest in an artist which entitles you to a free CD, and getting your name on the album sleeve, among other goodies.

The Slicethepie website says this about being a Scout:
"Slicethepie enables you to shape and support the careers of your favourite new and established Artists.
We pay you to review and rate new Music in the Scout Rooms on Slicethepie – our A&R engine room.
