I have the “Piggy Back Theory” of working at home.
That means I set up web pages or sites that are never going to make me rich by themselves but they are great little ways to put up some extra cash for a rainy day.
One of those is SurveySavvy for me.
I thought of it because Christmas is right around the corner and I was thinking I needed some extra cash for a particular gift (I can’t tell you… it might get back to my wife. I want her to think I already got her her present, but I have another one in mind!)
So I went to SurveySavvy and found I had a nice little amount in this “Piggy Bank”. I make money whenever I take a few minutes I’d otherwise waste and do a survey. It pays $2 to $5 usually but once I made $20.
But when I tell my friends, like you, about SurveySavvy and how I do this, they pay referral fees to me long after I’ve told you about these survey opportunities!
Because nobody ever pays a fee to join or anything, most people who want to do paid online surveys don’t mind joining instantly.
I’ve made over $700 this way.
It definitely won’t make you rich (I don’t think) but if you did some surveys, told some folks who told some other folks (you get paid for those you refer and people they refer) you could “dip into your Piggy Bank” at times like this and find some of the money you need for Christmas, vacation, or just when some emergency comes up. Now it takes a couple weeks to get your money, so it won’t replace a local emergency fund.
I have no idea what the average person earns doing surveys… maybe nothing, but I know I’ve liked it.
Maybe you’ll like it too: SurveySavvy

It is always good to make some extra money for yourself or your family, but I think that working at home is also a part of risk you take with a family that doesn’t understand you need to work right now. I was once in that situation trying to put some thoughts together and wasn’t able to do it.

Yes, this is a good idea for making little money. I also do that. It is worthy way of starting a home based business and also good way to understand the market, the area of investments while getting valuable experience and a source of income. The piggy bank theory is a great plan.
