Earnings from Working at Home: January

I want to hand out some motivation for making money at home. Some of you get frustrated and want to give up your quest of staying at home. You can make money but you really must look for ways. If you sit back and wait for money to find you, then you will fail.

I received my check yesterday from Cash Crate, a marketing company that promotes surveys. Completing surveys is not for everyone, but it's a part of my stay-at-home income. My check yesterday was for $157.60. That's not a windfall, but I also got paid last week from Vindale research. They transfer my payments via PayPal and I get paid every 2 weeks. You must remember that each company has their own policies. Vindale only starts payouts once you reach $50. Cash Crate pays whatever is in your account, once per month. Snap Dollars doesn't give me a good assortment of surveys, but I like that they are reputable and any money to add to the pot helps. They payout at $30. I also promote school fundraisers with Avon, and my publishing company is only seasonal right now. Avon is a simple feat. I deliver the fundraising packets for the students and 1 week or 2 weeks later, pick up the paperwork and the money. I get my money right off the top. I'm working on orders for school yearbooks, but I won't realize that money until April thru June. I must wait, however, that will bring in thousands of dollars. Here is a snapshot of my earnings so far for January:

Cash Crate: $ 157.60
Vindale: $ 227.00 (I get paid again on Jan. 31)
Snap Dollars: $ 55.00
Avon: $3714.00 (all from school fundraising - 2 elementary schools)
Triond: $ 12.00 ( multiple articles written months ago)

I haven't had much opportunities this month to complete many surveys. My vindale account right now has $85. and I have until next week to complete more surveys before payout on the 31st. Because I do complete a vast amount of surveys for them, they are higher paying. If you only complete 1 or 2 a month, they will only send you 1 or 2 for $5 or $8. My surveys start at $10. and go up to $40. I put in the effort and reap the rewards. I put more time into Avon this month so I didn't pay as much attention to the surveys or my writing, but I still completed enough to generate some decent numbers.

You can definitely make money from home if you put in some effort.

I will have to try Cash Crate and some of the others that you have listed. I belong to some of the other ones and most of the time I don't seem to qualify to finish the paid surveys.

I had to go through many surveys to find reputable ones that actually paid money. Cash Crate is the best one. There is a method to completing them, so ask me if you have any questions.
