Has anyone you known (or yourself) successfully completed an online survey and actually gotten got a check from it? Just google "paid surveys" and you'll get a ton of results from websites offering cash for completing online surveys. Its probably ridiculous to believe that you could actually earn $75 for a survey, but what about a few bucks? Along those same lines, what about mystery shoppers? Anyone had any success?
ive done the mystery shopper thing, its not bad, it just the companies that do it, don't offer as much jobs as they do in other cities. I did one for Wing Stop, twice, thats it, others I could've done but had to be in a specific time slot, and/or had to meet some other requirements(bring a kid, have a group of 5 with you). Plus you have to pay it up front and they compensate you within 2-3 weeks. I got paid like $10-20 for each one, so its not bad if its places you were going to eat there anyway, but have to write about a 200 word essay on your experience.
