The sad news this morning prompted me to share with you all how I fund my subscription here at WA in the hopes that those of you who (whom?) are hard hit by the extra monthly fees, can sort of off-set the cost and maybe keep your heads above water for a bit longer. Ready? OK!

Online surveys. I'll give you a moment to stop laughing.....You can stop now...Sigh!

It sounds silly, but the good ones DO work! Luckily for you, since March of this year I've been taking surveys and can tell you the ones that I've signed up for that pay through Pay Pal or gift cards. The point being that they do pay. A little at first and then more with higher paying surveys as they find out that you are serious about it and are truthful in your answers.

Here is a list of all the names of the sites so you can look them up to see if they are your cuppa tea or not.

Here it goes;

Vindale.com by far the best on the list. Pays well and promptly. Also hooks you up with

MyView, Harris Poll, National Consumer Panel, among others. You don't have to do them all, but I recommend Vindale for sure.

MySurvey.com is another good one that pays well by points converted to dollars with PP

IpsosIsay.com pays with your choice of either PP or rewards cards/Visas

SurveySpot.com and Opinion Outpost.com both turn points to cash payouts and it's easy to get the points up there quickly

Again. I am only offering these as an aide for everyone out there who may be thinking of dropping out due to the added cost that are cutting into their pocket books/wallets. Depending on your likes and/or dislikes, you will probably make more money than I do and a lot quicker. A lot of the surveys are on subjects like dining out and fast foods, as well as technology and movies and health. They start you out slow to see if you are serious at first, but then when you get past your 1st pay out, you get the higher paying surveys. Each site has their own pay out target so ...

I hope one of these sites can add a little bit of pocket change and help out those of you who need a little extra. These days, who doesn't?

Just one more thing about these sites. They use "cookies" so if you are going to sign up for any of them, they require that you enable the "accept cookies".

I have removed the referral links because the WAer it was intended to help declined the offer because he is SUPER Awesome! He will pull himself up and will be back. Believe! It's just a bump in life's road.

Thank you to all of you for reading, replying and hopefully understanding that it was only a possible way to help someone. To any others that may need a little extra money, the above list is still good, if you are willing to try, I understand that they can be time consuming and not for everyone. Thanks again.
