About two years ago, I was bored and was just doing a general search on google when I decided to do a search on how to make money from home. I got several results and I clicked on one of them. When I read someone's blog on tips on how to make money from home, one of the tips suggested surveys. Well, they didn't include any specific websites so I did another general search on google for legit Canadian survey sites and quite a few popped up. I hesitated at first but finally decided on Mintvine which is now Branded Surveys. I played around with the site for 3 months before I earned enough for my first payout of a $10 USD prepaid Visa. I decided to do a test run and cash out and received the prepaid Visa within a few days. The next thing I did was go to amazon and ordered something small as another test run. I received my product (a small bag of seafood flavored Temptations Treats) for my cat within a week. I knew then this was legit however, I still didn't realize the potential in this. Soon I found myself spending more time on this site and within no time I had qualified for an in home study of a mop and bucket valued at $39.99 Cdn plus taxes which I received. It was around the same time i signed up for Swagbucks through them and started earning money that way. This soon took off for me. Presently, I am on about 10 survey sites which I faithfully check everyday and complete what I can. My favorite survey sites are Branded Surveys, Swagbucks, and Instagc . My two favorite payouts are amazon e-gift cards, paypal and prepaid visas. Amazon gift cards help to pay for basic necessities such as toilet paper, shampoo, hand soap, laundry detergent, dish detergent among other things. Paypal helps to buy groceries and gas. Prepaid Visa's go on my bills. I finally realized the potential of survey sites and how much earning money through surveys, watching videos and doing other things have made my life so much easier. Here is a screenshot of some of my payouts.
