In this current economic climate, many people have lost their jobs or are working reduced hours. As a result, millions of people are turning to online paid surveys in order to make money. Free services such as work from home jobs offer the opportunity to join multiple reputable research companies in one easy process.

Market research companies pay for people to take surveys because their client’s require feedback on how to improve existing products and what new products should be like. The best way to learn about a market is to ask potential customers and therefore this process is crucial to innovation.

There are many advantages to working from home and completing online surveys. Doing work from home gives you autonomy, allowing you to choose when and for how long you want to work. You can be the boss and set your own targets.

Doing paid surveys provides a good supplementary income. It will not make you rich but it will allow you to buy some of those extra luxuries, to have a good time on the weekend or save for that dream holiday. Also, you can collect the money more frequently than a salary which may help to pay bills between paychecks. Working from home can even provide tax benefits if you can prove you are using your home as an office.

Working from home means that you are saving money and a lot of time from travelling to and from work. This extra time can be used to do more important things such as being with your family. Also, you will have fewer disturbances at home, instead of a busy office environment. This combination leads to a dramatic increase in productivity.

Finally, staying at home to do work reduces your carbon footprint as you are not consuming energy to get to work and additional energy in the office, making it a very environmentally friendly option.

The companies you register with will play a big part in the amount you can earn and so it is advisable to join several. Typically you will earn £2 – £10 for a survey which can last from 5 minutes to 30 minutes and focus groups can pay £40 – £50 for an hour’s work.

However, when there is easy money to be made, there will always be scams. Many scamsters have set up websites claiming to offer paid surveys. Beware of these companies and their bogus claims. Often they will take your bank details or ask for a small payment. Remember that market research companies never ask for money, they should be paying you!

GPTreasure

What’s the catch?

GPTreasure’s website states:

Companies need people to check what they offer, and they are willing to pay for it. When you complete an offer we get paid for it, and we pay you %25 to %75 of that revenue, that’s the way it works, very simple!

So basically GPTreasure is acting as an intermediary between the companies who are looking for people to review their products or services and the general public.

What kind of offers are available?

Offers are usually promotional membership offers, surveys, opinion polls etc.

Who can join?

GPTreasure accepts members from all countries, however users from English speaking countries will have the more offers to complete than users from other countries. International users can make up for the lost earnings by referring people to GPTreasure.

How can I join?

Sign up with GPTreasure. GPTreasure is free to join. Before you sign up with them, I advise you to open a new email address. Use the same email address that you use to sign up with GPTreasure to complete offers so that even if you get bombarded with spams, it won’t be your regular email address.

After you sign up with them, check their offers page and decide which offers you want to complete. GPTreasure frequently adds new countries to the list of offers, which is excellent service. Plus, if you become active on their site and complete a lot of offers, GPTreasure may make you a gold member, which allows you to access higher paying offers!

GPTreasure offers very good member support – 3 methods of support (forum / pm / email), good and timely payouts and a very lucrative referral program and thus it gives you a very easy way to earn a consistent income every single day simply by completing offers.

They also have a monthly lotto in which 25 members can win $3.00. I am not sure but have read on other sites that they have a new trivia every Thursday. If you deposit x cents, and you are the first one to answer the question correctly, you can earn $x/10.

Referral earnings?

GPTreasure’s website states:

Every time a new member registers in our website and mention your username in the ‘Referred By’ field you get 10 cents! Payments will be made to the same Payout Method you use to get paid by taking offers! In order to get paid for your own referrals you must complete at least 1 offer! A member who gets referrals without completing an offer for 30 days will not get paid for his referrals! (The earnings in this case will be forfeited)

What’s the minimum payout and how do they pay?

GPTreasure’s website states:

We pay once a week, between Tuesday to Wednesday US Time Zone. You can ask for a payment right away after you complete an offer. Unlike many other websites, we don’t pay you only when you reach amounts of $20.00 or $25.00 – everyone who completes even one offer get paid!

Payments are sent through AlertPay / PayPal / ePassporte / LibertyReserve / CherryCredits.

Here’s the signup link to GPTreasure once again.

How can I join BrandInstitute?

Here’s the link to join BrandInstitute. BrandInstitute is absolutely FREE to join. After you join them, your first step should be to complete your profile. This is an important step because:

Member profiles allow you to provide specific information about yourself and your household. This information will be used to better target invitations for surveys that give you incentives.

How many surveys will I receive?

As said earlier, the number of surveys that you will receive depends upon if you are a medical professional or not.

How much does BrandInstitute pay?

This is a tough question to answer. BrandInstitute pays $8 to $100 for each survey that’s completed depending on the project.

How does BrandInstitute pay and what’s the minimum payout?

They pay using checks or Paypal and it seems that there’s no minimum payout threshold.

Do they have a referral program?

Yes, they do have referral program. But the referral program is available only to their VIP respondents who choose to become referral agents. Entrance into the VIP panel is strict and is NOT guaranteed for all who apply. Each VIP request is handled individually and may take several weeks to process. Every person that signs up under you can make you money for a year each time they complete a survey. For each survey that a non-medical referral complete you will earn $5! For each survey that a medical referral completes you will earn $10!

Any Cons??

Generally, they send only a handful of surveys to the participants. So it would be wise to take all of the paid surveys that BrandInstitute sends your way.

The bottom line is, if you are a medical professional and want to make some money online by sitting in front of your computer for a few minutes and answering a few questions, go ahead and join BrandInstitute and get paid to take surveys.

In a world where congestion charges, commuting and cramped offices are the harsh realities of working life, working from home is becoming an increasingly attractive possibility for young business people and older executives alike. Working from home is ideal for people who want to create a better home/work balance and those who do not want to work in built up business areas like London.

With ever developing technology, many jobs simply do not require a physical presence in an office any longer. With speedy networking opportunities like email and faxing, people can share documents, edit them and return them within a matter of minutes. Colleagues can then discuss the shared documents on instant messaging services or via online telephone calls, webcams and video conferencing. Some companies who run work from home schemes comment that this process is actually more efficient as people can digest the information and address issues instantaneously. Working from home methods also eradicates filing, as documents can simply be backed up to an external hard-drive.

The opportunity is not only beneficial for the companies involved but also for the workers as it means they can be more efficient in their own time. Some people are just more productive working in the evening, others have bursts of productivity and then need a long break. By working from home people can choose when is best for them, and they can work when they feel most productive to do so. It also allows for good time management and flexibility. Employees can fit their work in around other priorities, such as their children or partner. Working from home is great for people who travel a lot with their partners, as they can work remotely and maintain flexibility. Working from home also allows people to enjoy hobbies and classes that may occur during `normal` working hours. Life is too short to let yourself be ruled by your job!

Many companies are now becoming more a-tune to the desires of their workers and offer working from home options. Online corporations also generally tend to offer remote working options and with the increasing popularity of the internet market, more jobs are becoming available. Paid UK Surveys are a company that taps into the desire for earning money from home. They review top survey sites in order to ensure that people earn a reputable amount of money for online work. Much of the work involves filling in survey forms for market research and is an easy way of making up to £1000 a month from home. Even if you have a full-time job, by going through these surveys in evening times and on the weekends, you can supplement your wage and earn extra money from the comfort of your living room.

This solution seems to work only with ByetHost. Others who had access to this solution complained that they were not able to upgrade WP plugins even after applying this hack to their blogs hosted at other hosts. Having said that, fixing this problem in ByetHost is fairly easy. This hack is provided by mcarretero.

You need to add the following PHP code to the wp-config.php file to get it working:

1
2
3
4

if(is_admin()) {
	add_filter('filesystem_method', create_function('$a', 'return "direct";' ));
	define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0751 );
}

Other than giving a few hiccups, ByetHost is a great host specially if you are looking for a free host. I have a free account with ByetHost. They provide 5500 MB disk space and 200 GB monthly transfer for free and when the limit exceeds, you need to upgrade to a paid account. They also seem to have limits on the CPU usage as well. They haven’t written about it anywhere on their site, but I just want to let you know that they do have CPU usage limits as well for the free accounts.

I am using RadixOne package as my bandwidth requirement is very less. 30GB/mo is more than enough for me and I am paying $25.2/year to radix for that package. Yeah it’s cheap but they have not compromised on quality. Regarding the quality, RadixHosting mentions the following on their website:

In spite of the competitive price, the technical quality has never been compromised. We only use suppliers that can show a quality stamp and have reliable backup-systems. Servers, server rooms and bandwidth are monitored around the clock, 365 days a year. All servers are of the best quality with redundant power supplies and components. The systems are placed in a server room at SoftLayer, Dallas. This server room has redundant power circuits, battery backup, diesel generators and a Vesda (Very early Smoke Detection Alarm) alarm system. The backbone is fiber-based with a redundant infrastructure. Source: RadixHosting

Their customer support is great and they reply to the queries of their customers very fast. They also offer a lot of payment options. Customers can make payments via PayPal, MoneyBookers, e-Check and credit cards. Lately, they have told me that they are planning to add AlertPay soon.

So, if you are looking for a cheap and yet reliable web host which has a great customer support, RadixHosting is the one. Believe me and take these words from a satisfied customer of RadixHosting, you won’t be disappointed. Here’s the link if you want to buy hosting packages from them.
