I found that a fun way to add a little extra money to my travel fund each month is by completing surveys. This will not replace my day job, but it will allow me to earn $20-$60 per month to add to my travel fund just for responding to surveys.

I will try to update you each month on how much I am able to add to my travel fund by completing surveys! I use a separate email address so I can keep my surveys separate from other email.

My August total was $49.50 earned plus I received 3 full sized products to test worth around $20 total! I spent around 7 .5 hours completing surveys in August.

I am currently working with the following survey companies:

• Isop I-Say - I joined this company at the end of July and have already earned $10 plus tested a free product.

• Mindfield - I just joined Mindfield in July and have already received a few survey requests. I earned $2 in 10 minutes for August.

• My Survey - I also just signed up with them July. So far I have earned 300 points or $2.40 since the points are worth 9 cents each. You can cash out once you reach 1100 points or more. They offer cash payments through Paypal or gift certificates from many different companies.

• Opinion Outpost - I just started working with Opinion Outpost in July. So far I have made over $57.20 since i started including $33.60 for August for 3 hours and 50 minutes. You can request a check once you reach $5 and I have already receive several checks from them. I also received several products to test. This is my favorite survey company that I work with currently!


• Toluna - I have been a member of Toluna for quite a while, but I did not take the time to compete the profile surveys so I did not receive many survey invitations. It does take quite a little time to complete all the profile surveys, but you will earn some points for completing them plus you will receive more survey invitations!
  
  Toluna awards points for surveys: 3000 points = $1. You need 60,000 points to request a $20 check. This month I only completed 1 survey for 4500 points or $1.50.

Surveys are a fun way to help companies develop and change products, as well as help them understand what we like as consumers. Surveys are also a good way to add $20-$60 per month to your Travel Fund or Christmas Fund, or just to earn some extra spending money.

You can also earn extra money through cash back rebate programs and Swagbucks! Come back often to see how much I have saved from my travel fund!
