Making Money While having Fun From Your Computer

Money just doesn't grow on trees! Being a stay at home mom, I am always looking for little ways to cut costs or add a little to the family coffers. One of the things I do and have had some success with is on-line surveys and word-of-mouth programs. These are great ways to earn a little cash and get to sample products way before they're released to the public.
Below I will detail 3 sites which I find to be the most rewarding. By rewarding I mean that they're fun, easy and yes they do reward me for my efforts.

Crowdtap (http://crowdtap.com/invitations/4d87c74438d4137995000024)
Crowdtap is a revolutionary social marketing and research platform that enables you to be rewarded for ideating and promoting with leading brands, entertainment properties, non-profits and startups. Earn cash rewards for yourself and charity for taking surveys, sampling new products and promoting your favorite brands. You simple login with your facebook account (there is no other way) and begin by answering quickhits - quick easy questions. You earn points and sometimes money for answering these. They also have opportunities to Sample & Share products as well as host product parties. For instance, right now I am doing a Sample & Share for Playtex Sport Cleansing Wipes.

EXPO (www.expotv.com/raf/mrstrod)
Expo is an online video community of consumers who share their unbiased, honest reviews and opinions through various word of mouth programs with their peers and brands. You simply make a short video review of a product (many of which you already have and use) and then upload it. In return, they award you points which you can use to shop a wide selection of great gifts or even cash in for Amazon.com gift cards.In addition, through their Tryology program you can receive free products to review and earn points for. And you can also do surveys through their Outlook Panel.

BzzAgent (www.bzzagent.com )
As a BzzAgent, you join a Bzzcampaign to try new products and services from some of the biggest companies around. Share your honest opinions through reviews, Facebook posts, video testimonials, face-to-face, blog posts…however you want. As part of the campaign, you'll get free product samples to try yourself, help friends discover cool stuff by sharing your opinion & influence the brand with your feedback. You'll also earn points through Mypoints.com which can be cashed in for gift cards.

In my next post I'll tell you about some great survey sites where you can earn cash & gift cards. Don't forget to follow my blog to get my latest tips. And as always feel free to leave your comments or questions below!
