hello from md

[jman95]

Hello, im new here also. Ive been doing surveys for about a year now. I havent been into it really heavy but ive made some money and mostly saving up points on sites like harrispoll and epoll to get some of the good stuff.After reading some of the posts and seeing that some people are making some pretty good money and winning some money it sort of renewed my interests from about 70% up to 99.99%. One of my questions are how do you get referrals? Im pretty sure that there are places that have this posted around this forum but I thought I would post here first just to speak my voice. The way that I found a lot of these survey sites was through surveyscout which I wish I wouldnt have done because you pay a one lifetime fee of 35 dollars.Oh well I didnt know any better then, cant do nothing about it now. I have joined a ton of sites through them though which I now see are mostly the same sites that are on here. Some of the so called survey sites I cant stand are ones like panda research. They are definetely not what im looking for. I am also part of ones like mypoints.com and a few paid to click email sites. In the future coming months I would like to look into ways to actually make a good second type income, if anybody can give me good ideas i would be up for checking it out. One thing I have learned though is not to put too much into it that you cant afford to lose. Well theres a lot more I could say but thats all for now. Thanks and ill be looking forward to posting a lot more here in the future.

Welcome to the forum. I'll try to answer a few of your questions and also tell you about a few features of the site you might be interested in since you've been taking surveys for a while already.

First, about referrals. Best way is to set up your own little website. It doesn't need to be anything special, but it's a place where you can out all your referral links in one spot. I actually have a "Create a website" section that you can read through, even if you don't want to create a website in particular, there's some really good reading in there as far as easy, free ways to promote a referral link or you own website, you'll find it here: /create.php

Regarding sites like Panda Research, you'll not find any of those listed in my directories. I weed all these out before I add them to my database.

One page that might be of interest to you is the What's New at FPS page. I include anything new on this page including any new survey sites added.

Oh, and sorry to hear that you paid Survey Scout.

And lastly, about other ways of making money online. I can't offer you a particular way to go about it, but I will tell you this. There is no easy way to make a significant amount of money online. There are plenty of ways to do it, but be prepared to put in a lot of time and dedication.

Happy to have you with us.

Cool, thanks for the reply. Im going to go check out the build your own website section. I have been trying a few things already as far as referring and joining traffic exchanges etc for the past few months. The one I had the most luck with so far is it pays to learn. I have a total of 11 referrals in less than a month and I only payed for a total of two aadrs. They are not very active though.
I have gone through a little bit of trial and error also trying different things out. For example sites like panda research. Those kind of sites just annoy me. I have learned bymyself over the past year what to look for when checking out new survey sites like them. How can asking you if you would like more information on a topic be a survey? As soon as I see that kind of thing, off I go somewhere else. Ive ran into a few of those kind. As far as survey scout, well theres not much I can say about that.
