ClickIQ

In the online realm of countless survey sites, spyware, and spam, I found it very beneficial to learn from the experience of others, so that choices in selecting survey sites were informed and well thought out. In turn, I would like to introduce you to ClickIQ where your personal information is safe and your rewards are real.

ClickIQ is the liaison between product manufacturers/retailers and the everyday U.S.A. consumer. Interestingly enough, they are not only interested in what you buy, but also what services turn the store-by-store shopper into a loyal, long-term customer. This is where you, appropriately titled, the e/visor come into play. If you shop for electronics, large/small appliances, media products, home improvement items, edible products, and basically everything else, then you are an e/visor. If you have opinions about product and store warranties, store services, store rewards programs, and store offers that make you spend your hard-earned money, then you are an e/visor. It's just up to you to officially become one.

ClickIQ rewards you with points that are only redeemable for our favorite thing...Cash!!! Once you have 2500 points, then you have earned $25 and can cash out. These points are earned in a variety of ways including surveys, product testing, and online focus groups. You don't have to worry about keeping track of what you participated in or constantly revisiting your account to check if you have been credited, because as soon as you finish a survey, your account is updated immediately. Also, they email you when a survey is available and how many participants they want. They even give you a chance to counter bid if you think the number of points should be higher. However, I suggest that you take what they offer and take the survey upon receiving the invitation because the opportunity will close fast. Subsequently, the surveys usually average between 5-15 minutes to complete. Some surveys will screen you for further participation for more points and follow-up surveys, but whether you qualify or not, you will still receive points for your valuable time. At other sites, you may have learned the tricks to beating the screening questions, but you really don't have to do that at ClickIQ. Filling out your profile surveys and keeping them updated already tailors most invitations for you. They will even send you short profile boosters to help keep your habits and demographics current. You won't receive points for these, but you will be entered into a sweepstakes for doing so.

So, I bet your asking, "How and when do I receive my cash?" Well, you can choose a check by mail, which usually takes around 6 weeks, or via direct deposit into your bank account. The latter maybe a scary endeavor, but in my personal experience I have done this many times and the process was quick (always in 2-3 weeks) and problem-free. Just like everything else, it's entirely up to you. I've used both methods and they both work. It's just a matter of how long you want to wait.

So, as a 3-year veteran of ClickIQ, I would highly suggest that you consider this site. If I can recommend it to my friends and family, than I certainly can recommend it to you. Upon signing up, don't be discouraged if you don't receive many opportunities. In my experience, I have found that summer, fall, and early winter were the most productive times of the year. Your opinions are very valuable when Companies are developing sales strategies for the Christmas shopping season.

You won't get rich from ClickIQ, but you will earn a little extra cash that sometimes can go a long way.
