I have come to love Lazy Saturdays, and learned to use this time to make some extra money. The TV is set to College Football, my husband is focused on the game, the litter is focused on watching the chipmunks and squirrels run around the backyard, and I have time to work on some of my survey sites, without feeling like there is something else I should be doing.
During the week I try to limit my survey taking time so that I can still get some of my to-do list completed, but the weekend is great time to play catch up on these sites! I have found that during 1 quarter of a football game I can go through my list of survey sites and earn between $5.00 - $10.00. It doesn't seem like a lot, but it all adds up in the end!
My 2011 goal was to earn an extra $1000.00, however I took quite a few breaks throughout the year where I just got overwhelmed with too many sites (many of which were not right for my situation), took a few vacations and just couldn't get back into the swing of every day life, and had some family emergencies that required all of my attention until everything got into a routine. As of September 30th I was only at $650.00, but that was $650.00 of "free" money for my and my litter to spend, or save however we saw fit.
As of October 1, 2011 I decided that I would like to make my hobby of survey taking work for my litter. As we move towards the new year I am planning out how I would like to make the most of my time, and learning with survey, product testing, and point-earning websites are the best for me and the time that I have to spend. I am deciding what a realistic, yet challenging, goal will be for me in 2012. I am also planning to use this money to purchase something that is extra special for my family (though I am not quite sure what it will be yet) so that I have more motivation then just earning $5.00 here, or $20.00 there.
I will keep you updated on what I determine as my monetary goal, as well as what the money will be used towards!
