Survey site review – BeForthright

by

Beforthright – https://www.beforthright.com/

I love this company, unlike other survey companies payment is immediate and they send both emails & text messages when a new survey is available so you can do surveys on the go. Their surveys offer a loyalty credit which you receive whether you qualify or not. Once you get three credits you can cash out for two dollars. They offer partner surveys which you usually don’t get a loyalty credit for those.

Many cash out options to choose from including paypal and amazon.

Pros

Payment is immediate

offers loyalty credits even if you don’t qualify for a survey

Only need an email address, you don’t need to create an account on their site which means no password to remember

Cons

Most of their partner services don’t offer credits

 

This company is one of the ones on my top five.

Survey Naughty List – Survey Consensus

by

A survey site ends up on my naughty list when they haven’t paid me, argued about paying me or haven’t paid me and aren’t responding to my emails. If a survey site is on my naughty list it’s for one or more of the reasons above and you are advised to use these sites with your own risk.

Edit:  I’ve sent an email which came back undelivered and used the contact form via their site five times and haven’t received my money or a reply. I think this site scams people, so don’t waste your time.

Survey Consensus – http://us.surveyconsensus.com/

It has been two weeks since I cashed out with this site and they have not paid me and my emails to support go unanswered. Most of the surveys on their site are broken or if you complete them you don’t get paid. You need 1500 points (equal to 15.00) and complete 3 surveys to cash out.

When they pay me and/or respond to my emails they will be removed from my naughty list. I don’t recommend this site at all.

I will be alright

by

Back in February Social Security sent me a letter that my case was up for review and I have been stressing out since then. I finally got their decision yesterday and SS feels I am no longer disabled. I will be appealing but I am not going to stress myself out over it. If I have to work, I have to work…that’s life if I want to have a roof over my head and food in my stomach. It is what it is.

With all the BS I am going through lately living in the apartment building from hell this letter in the mail yesterday momentary sent me into panic mode and tears. I have only been in a relationship (off and on) with my current SO for four years so he didn’t know me years ago when my panic disorder/attacks were really bad.

In the past he has made comments how I should stop letting my mom tell me I can’t work and this and that. The thing is My mom wasn’t telling me anything, I had experiences ten years ago that got me to the point where I felt that I should apply for disability. Originally my doctors wanted me to apply for it back in 2004 but I fought it and them for two years until I felt I needed to apply.

Every time I tried in the past to explain panic disorder & PTSD with him he didn’t want to hear it so eventually I just stopped trying.

Today I was expecting support and at first he said it will be okay and then he started telling me what I need to do and what I should do. I don’t like that, I am a grown women and just because I haven’t worked in seven years doesn’t mean I haven’t worked period.

Then he hits me with: You don’t have to work, just let me work and take care of you

Nope, Stop. In the past when I was in my twenties I was in such a relationship and it was a controlling one where He felt he was making all the money so in turn I should let him tell me what to do. The situation involved my son but I still lost friends including my BF I had known since I was fourteen.

In short I will never put myself in a situation where I have to depend on another human (male or female) ever again. There are things in everyone’s past that teaches them about people and their own lives and this was one of mine.

At the end of the day, I can only trust myself & God to get me through a bad situation. I’ve had a lot of friends and people in the past tell me I will always be there for you which was a load of crap because none of those people are here anymore.

 

 

 

 

 

Tragedy in Las Vagas

by

I am going to assume that everyone already knows about the mass shooting in Las Vagas on Sunday night. I ended up getting off of twitter as someone from the UK wanted to argue with me about gun control and I didn’t feel like yesterday was the time or place for it. This person took what I said and sat there and argued with me. I was sick of talking about it that I stayed off the computer for the rest of the day.

I could have hit him back by him saying we need Gun Control in the US and tell him that they need Bomb Control over there. I don’t know what it’s about concerts, there have been a lot of mass killings (shootings, bombs) at concerts.

That being said, I am not going to blog about money making things today and pick back up on Wednesday or Thursday with another review.

Repeating what I said on twitter yesterday, My heart goes out to those who lost anyone in the mass shooting on Sunday night and instead of arguing with people on twitter maybe you could donate something. Time, Money, Hugs, Listening, Blood,  ect.

@MaayanGolubs offered free portraits to people who donate blood – If you are on twitter, check her page out.

Smart Panel

by

I am reviewing Smart Panel first for a couple of reasons, the first reason is that when you google Smart Panel you see all these people saying that they don’t pay and I think the reason those people aren’t getting paid is because they aren’t sending the data or they haven’t signed up and put the app on their devices.

So I am going to show you what you need to do before putting the app on your devices.

First you need to go to the website which is https://smartpanel.io/en-US/ and scroll down to where it says You can shape the future in bold white letters and click the button that says I’d like to sign up. Fill out everything they ask you to do on the form and click submit. Use an email that you check often, the same email that you are going to use for surveys.

Once you are signed up, you can log in. Once you are logged in you are going to click on your profile and add your devices. Only add the devices that you have access to and will be able to send data from everyday.

Once you add a device, you can’t remove it but you can replace it. So if you add a computer & two smart phones you will have to send the data from all three to get paid and remain active. If one isn’t sending data but the other two are you will not get paid. If you replace the computer or one of the smartphones, then you have to replace it via the website not the app to continue to get paid.

Once you have added your devices via the website, if you add a computer/laptop they will email you a link to download the app. Same with the smart phone, they will send an email or text you the link. Once the apps are installed on all devices all you have to do is press the button that says sync data, that’s it.

Smart Panel is the easiest app to make five dollars a month, you can not redeem until the app has been active for thirty days but by then you will have ten dollars in your account.

Pros:

Easy five dollars a month

Can leave money on account on the website and just let it build up

Offers Paypal and Amazon gift cards to cash out

Offers surveys once you have been with them awhile and for those you get amazon gift cards

Great customer service

 

Cons:

If one of your devices goes inactive, you will not be paid

 

 

This is a great company and they are getting bad reviews by people who either aren’t signing up for the site or aren’t syncing all devices. I recommend them as the easiest site/app to be paid from. Five dollars a month isn’t a lot of extra money but for doing nothing but syncing devices it’s completely worth it.
