This may be a dumb idea, it wouldn't be the first, but I thought I'd throw it out there and see if it would fly. I've been doing paid surveys for over a year, ball park figure from last year, I made about $500. I tried several till I found one thats legit and will send the checks right to your home. Surveys vary in length from 10 to 45 minutes and pay anywhere from a $1 to $15 or more. This wouldn't help in the short term, because it can take 4 to 6 weeks for the money to go into your account, then another week to get the check. In the long term though, if 100 members donated $10 per month from paid surveys, that would be....well you can multiply I'm sure.
I just use my yahoo Email addy, and made a separate folder for all the Emails from them, but its easy to set up. Just register and you're off. At first I didn't get that many paid surveys, there are non-paid ones too, but now I get a bunch and don't have time to do them all. You wont qualify for them all, but there are ways to 'work' the system.
Next check I get, I'll donate to TFP. Heres the site, its for real.
