I guess it’s the time of year when everyone gets a little cabin fever. I love wintertime, don’t get me wrong. I’m all about a great snowstorm, heck I still jump up and down and start squealing when the first flake falls. I love big roaring fires (gas logs are for sissies), snuggling under a big down comforter, roasting marshmallows and drinking hot chocolate. But….enough is enough. It’s February now, and we’ve gotten those teaser days of 70 degree weather that reminds you that spring is just around the corner. Here’s a glimpse….

And for those of you out there who need a little more excitement to take you out of your winter blues…I will provide!

On to surveys….Esearch.com is a good solid company, no frills or scratch off contests here. They send out cash paying surveys only, and precious few of them. But that’s OK, they pay well when they deliver, from $2 to $10, and they aren’t the kind that you’ll have to spend 3 days on. (OK, I exaggerate, but there are survey companies that say their surveys will take an hour, and 3 hours later, you’re 75% complete). Twenty minutes is about the maximum for any of the Esearch surveys.

Getting started is a snap, with a 1 page form to fill out to register, and then a more detailed questionnaire after that (only takes about 5 minutes). Because there is no member page for sign in, you will receive the surveys in your email, but they have an extensive Frequently Asked Question section that gives you all the information you need to get started. 

One or two surveys a month is about the average. I joined about a month ago, and I was sent a $2 survey and it only took about 10 to complete. There are no minimums, so payment is by Paypal after each survey is completed, which usually takes about 4 weeks to process to your account (that’s a conservative estimate, it could take half that long). Esearch.com is one of the most reliable survey sites on the internet, give it a try.
