Working at Home

Is it me or does everyone else want to blow off the boss and work at home, online, maybe even in pajamas?

Well, I have found one of the most legitimate ways to go about doing this and I have the satisfaction of knowing my opinions shape future offerings by some of the largest corporations in the world. You know some of those new fragrances by Glade? Me. Menu changes at Denny's and Red Lobster? Me.

Imagine getting paid to tell other people what you think. Yes, it is true. There are thousands of companies employing hundreds of market research firms, who spend millions of dollars per year just to know what you as a consumer think.

I am talking about online surveys. You won't get rich, however, you can make a comfortable living or just a little extra income if you don't want to work full time. Come to think of it, you do not have to work full time to get a full time income.

This is not a dollars for hours job where you punch a clock or have a boss. You can get do this anyway you want. Get the kids off to school, have your morning coffee, open your email and choose how much money you want to make today.

This is free info. No strings attached. I just want to let people know that it can be done. I am not selling you anything. I know, sounds like B.S. Nope. Just info, nothing more. Just an opportunity to work at home for yourself.

Now, I wrote a "how to" article on the eHow site which provides details necessary to avoid some common mistakes.

For those of you who have already found the article, here is the remainder I promised you:

You are contacted by the Survey companies via email based on your profile. For example, if you are a stay at home mom with 2.5 kids, the primary purchaser of food items, two cars in the garage, etc., this may fit the demographic the company is looking to survey and gain opinions. There are many variables in their searches.

The secret is to create multiple profiles. I am not condoning you be dishonest, however, you can have a profile for each member of your household. Yourself, Spouse, Significant other, Spot, Fluffy, Uncle Fester, whatever. You get the point?

They even have surveys for the kids! Toy manufacturers LOVE to know what their market craves and they pay for it. The more varied your different profiles, the more requests you will get in your inbox!

This is the first in a series of blogs I will post about subjects with similar content. I hope you found the post informative.

No scratch that, luck is the residue of purposeful design.
