Earning Extra Money from Home (Part 2) - Toluna Surveys

Welcome to Part 2 of our weekly series on opportunities to earn a little extra money from home.  We are reviewing survey companies and if you missed last week's post, be sure to visit the post here to read about Ipsos-Isay Survey company.

As I mentioned last week, if you are new at signing up for survey opportunities, please take a few minutes to set up a free email account through google, hotmail, yahoo, etc. to use as your contact email address.  This will prevent your regular email from being filled with these survey requests.

Today's featured survey company is Toluna: People, Opinions & Polls.

Toluna is a company that is set up in a very interactive way.  I receive emails several times a week with survey opportunities, but I can also visit the Toluna website at any time and earn extra points by "voting" in random opinion polls or opinion topics.

Toluna points are like virtual currency that can be redeemed for a huge range of gift cards or merchandise rewards.  You receive 500 points when you sign up, and then each time you complete a survey, answer an opinion poll question or just complete your profile, points are added to your account.

I would have to say that Toluna is one of my favorite survey companies because they are just good at making  it fun.  Their website is easy to navigate and it makes you want to visit often to watch your points grow.   They are also at the top of my list because of the wide range of rewards that are available.  From cash to restaurants to movie passes and online retailers.....they seem to have one of the most comprehensive options around.  You can even choose to donate all or a portion of your points in the form of cash to your favorite charity.

Have fun earning points with Toluna, and let us know what you think!!
