Survey Savvy Review

Survey Savvy was the first survey site I ever joined. I was invited to join from a friend at work. We had been discussing making money on the side during an afternoon walk at work. He suggested I check it out since he had just joined and had earned a little cash already. During the first week I filled out the "My Portrait" demographics section of the site and within a week or two I had my first survey invitation. I went in and started the survey and actually qualified for it. It was an ongoing study that required no effort on my part and paid $20 the first month and then $10 each additional month for three months and then if I continued after that another $10 for every quarter. I had to setup something one time and after that I pretty much did nothing except my normal daily Internet/eMail routines. I've been a member for over a year now and to me it seems to be the best survey site so far.

Over the last year the number of surveys I have received from Survey Savvy has been less than I would like compared to other sites that send me one every day. Several of the surveys I have received invitations for have had offers for $25+ for completion. This is much better than most of the other sites that offer $1 for 30 minute surveys or just an entry into their sweepstakes. Don't get me wrong, Survey Savvy has also sent me $1 survey invitations but usually they are for 10-15 minutes.

Once my balance reached close to $100 I decided to request a payment. It's been a while ago so I don't remember exactly how long it took for me to receive the check but if I remember correctly it wasn't all that long. Their site says to allow 4-6 weeks for payment but it was much quicker than that.

Survey Savvy also offers a referral program that seems to be pretty decent. It offers incentives of course for me to complete surveys but also when my referrals complete surveys as well as their referrals.

Just another little tid bit about Survey Savvy is that they are certified by the Better Business Bureau. With all the scams out there these days, I've started looking for this more and more. It just adds a little more assurance that you won't get screwed.

Free Money?

My first post isn’t really going to be a review as much as a discussion about the Internet and every ones attempts at making “free” money. This whole concept of free money amuses me. The only time money is free is if someone just flat out gives it to you for nothing in return. When I see the ads for the sites saying complete surveys for free money or signup with us for free rewards, I have to laugh. You are filling out a survey, or clicking an ad or just doing something to make a couple of dollars. So in actuality, you are working a job just like anyone else in the world. Actually, you are working a job making less than minimum wage most of the time. There are also sites out there stating that you can make $400 a day doing surveys. It’s not going to happen or at least not that I have found yet. Having said that, you can make some extra cash here and there with very little effort. I also believe that any money that you can save is money that is made so in the last week I’ve already decided to expand my original site idea from just reviewing survey sites to actually trying to help others learn how to save some money as well as make some money by using the Internet.

This is by no means a get rich quick scheme nor will you make $5000 a week within your first month. There are ways to make money on the Internet but it takes time and patience and work to actually make a profit. I am still learning everyday myself of new ways to make extra cash as well as new sites that will help me save some money. I am by no means an expert at any of this yet but I’m hoping that I can help others get started and past some of the first hurdles by sharing my experiences.
