Make money while travelling by doing online surveys.

One of the things that I try to encourage people to do is to diversify their income stream. One of the ways you can do that is by participating in surveys. I’ve done a few market research surveys in the past and I’ve been paid for doing the survey.

BUT, the pay wasn’t that great. So the best way to think of it is that you can get some ‘extra income’ or ‘beer money’.

The surveys that I’ve taken usually require 20-60 minutes of my time. When I wasn’t earning anything before or had spare time, I would participate in these surveys that would pay anywhere from $2-10 per survey.

If you an get enough survey requests, you might have an extra $100 or so per month.

Here’s a few that you can sign-up to.

They normally just forward an email with the survey and you fill out your profile and payment details, so that you can get paid.
