Yoursay Review

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
Today I am going to review a new survey site that I have recently found called yoursay.

Yoursay is another survey site that pays in points and cash. This survey site pays for surveys (online and over the phone), participating in focus groups, shopping and completing free offers. Yoursay is open to residents from all countries.

Participating in focus groups is worth extra rewards and is a bit of extra effort, but you can receive up to $100 for participating according to some people!

As far as I can see 100 points are equal to $1 US.

Yoursay also has a good refferal system where you are rewarded for 5% of what your refferals earn for upto 5 levels. (ie your refferal earn 100 points you get 5)

YOU -> Your refferal (1st level refferal ) -> Their refferal (2nd level refferal) -> etc.

Pros
One of the biggest level refferal systems - 5 levels
US dollars are worth more than Aussie dollars :-) (Although maybe not for much longer)
Focus groups are worth extra cash

Cons
Only works with Internet explorer

Tips

1 Fill in that profile, because you are likely to get the bigger paying focus group stuff by having a completed profile.

2 Don't give up - you only need one focus group to make some good money and that could come at any time!

My opinion
This is a site worth signing up to because it has the promise of more than just paid surveys. Like all the sites I recommend it is free so there is no harm in trying!

Spider Metrix

This is another review especially for my Aussie readers, but it is open to all English speaking nations

Spider Metrix Review
Spider Metrix is another paid to answer surveys kind of site. For this site doing surveys, writing reviews and undertaking tests earns you spider points, which can be traded for gift shop purchases or cold hard cash. For your calculations 300 spider points = $50 (AUD) which is paid in cheque form. They also advertise that they convert currency for you based on the exchange rate, which is good for international users.

As you complete more surveys and reviews you become a higher (maybe they mean more evolved) spider species and that means more points per rating and other privileges

Spider Metrix also has a very good 4 tiered refferal system, where you get paid when your refferals answer surveys, when there refferals answer surveys etc. etc.


Pros
Points just for signing up
Great 4 tiered refferal system!
Web site reviews - get rewarded for simple web site reviews

Cons
Minimum payout $50
Some people have commented that the frequency of surveys has been reducing lately

Tips

1. You must fill in your profile and complete a test survey - This gives you a greater chance of getting surveys delivered to you as they know what you are interested in etc.

My opinion
This is one I recommended you sign upto, because if it doesn't work it doesn't really matter. I am not really excited about it, but it is worth a go. It certainly has promise so I will keep you informed of how I am going with it.

Survey Savvy

Survey Savvy Review
How was your weekend? Mine was so busy doing my handyman part for my wife I didn't get time to post, but for your patience today I am going to review survey savvy, one of the most talked about survey sites on the Internet.

Overview
Survey Savvy is another survey site where you get paid to read surveys ($3 - $75 max), but it also offers one of the best refferal systems available. When one of your refferlas (maybe friends, family etc.) answers a survey you get paid 2$ (average). And even better when one of your refferals reffers someone else you get paid when they do a survey $1 (average). Did that make sense??
This site is American, but almost anyone from anywhere can sign up.

Now if the best thing about this site is the refferal system then the second best is that those who are unable to complete a survey are entered into the Sweepstakes for a chance to win fifty $10 cash prizes!!

Survey Savvy pays you as soon as you want - in other words there is no minimum payout, which makes this site even better!

Pros
Great 2 tier refferal system
Even if you don't get to do a survey you still get entered into the sweepstakes for doing nothing!
Plenty of good reviews (you actually get paid)
Surveys you complete are worth a relatively high amount
No minimum payout - you can get paid as soon as you earn any money!

Cons
They don't send heaps of surveys (expect about 3 a month)

Tips
1. Remember to fill in your profile after you register - This gives you a greater chance of getting surveys delivered to you as they know what you are interested in etc.

2. Don't give up - even if you are not getting many surveys you can still win.

My opinion
This is a great survey site and you should put this at the top of the list to sign up to. The refferal system is great, the surveys they do send are worth good money and you can get your money as soon as you want. That is a recipe for a great survey site.

AGLOCO

I thought for my second review I would try and review a product that doesn't exist yet - just to make it hard for myself.

Now before you stop reading listen to what this new company is offering.

Agloco Review

Overview;
Basically Agloco will reward you for browsing the net using their downloadable toolbar or viewbar (It is guaranteed spyware free apparently, which is a big bonus!).
The way it works is simple. If you browse the net using their viewbar for 5 hours per month, they pay you. The best part is that you also get paid for when the people you refer use it, and when their referrals use it (getting it so far?). In this way it is possible to make a fair sum of money.

This is how the company describes it:

" AGLOCO gets paid by companies to reach our Members through our viewbar software. We give (a percentage of it I am sure) that money back to you. "

I did heaps of research on this because it sounded too good to be true and all that but all I found was that Agloco was a reputable company called AllAdvantage that was listed on the stock market until the dot com crash that screwed them up. Now they are coming back with a better business model and are planning on listing on the stock exchange again in the future.

The company will pay in cash and Agloco shares.

Pros;
It's new and you can get in on the ground floor.
It's easy
They also pay when you refer your friends

Cons;
It's not up and running yet (should be up by late March)
The money comes from all those damn internet ads - but I can live with myself :-)


My opinion;
It sounds great in principle and I say go for it - worst case scenario it crashes again and you don't get paid or your shares are worth nothing, best case you are in the ground floor of a revolutionary new Internet service that could go anywhere.

At the moment AGLOCO is a name that people seem to trust. To sign up and join click the link to go to AGLOCO WEBSITE

Emailcash

Ok, so for my first review I though I would stick to an Aussie site because well... I am an Aussie and I believe in national pride and all that.

Emailcash Website

Overview: Emailcash is basically a site that offers rewards, including cash, for participating in sruveys, reading emails and buing stuff online. This is only open to Australian residents over 13 years of age. You earn points for reading emails, taking surveys and shopping online. 100 points is approximately $1, but this is the part of the site that is a little strange, converting your points to cash. They have two systems:

1. Exchange rate system where 100 points can be worth anything from about 80 cents minimum upto about $1.10, but possibly more. You have to buy into the exchange with your points are they are turned into cash after the deadline. The less people that want to exchange the more you will get and vice versa.

2. Fixed Rate exchange - Where you can convert your rewards using the Automatic Exchange Machine. This allows you to buy cash by paying with points or sell cash to get points back (although I can't work out why people would want to do that - email me if you have figured it out).

Pros:
They are a reputable company which does pay up.
Very easy to join.
Large community to help you out.
They actually send you emails and surveys.

Cons:
Only open to Aussie residents.
Minimum payout is $30

Tips:
1. You must fill in your profile - This gives you a greater chance of getting surveys delivered to you as they know what you are interested in etc.

2. Check out free rewards every day as they give you points for clicking on ads and doing mini surveys.

3. Don't give up - the surveys will come soon enough and then you will be right into making some money.

My opinion:
If you are an Aussie and want a little extra for answering a few surveys then go for it. You won't get rich quick, but it's fun and certainly is not a scam.
