I’m going to list and discuss what some free top paying international online survey sites are able offer. Some will offer you money for taking surveys online, monthly prizes or incentives for bringing new referrals to these online survey sites.

More than $13 million has been paid out to members participating in internet survey taking. For participating in the program you get paid up to $20 or more for completing a survey online. If you have an IT and computer background then Survey Savvy offers some great earning opportunities. They offer a good referral program where you get paid $2 for each online survey that is completed by your direct referral and $1 for each survey by your indirect referral. If you don’t qualify for a survey, 50 individuals are selected to receive $10 each and every month out of a pool of entries from all members.

Evaluate new products, test new advertising, and tell companies what you like, don’t like, and want in the near future. The American Consumer Opinion Panel pays you cash to complete online surveys and is a reputable market research firm. They pay you between $4 and $25 for each completed online survey. You can expect to receive your payment within 4 weeks in the form of a check or American Express gift checks. They also support 9 different languages, including Chinese and Japanese.

Clear Voice Surveys is a new survey panel that helps you to earn cash and rewards. As the name suggests, all you need to do is voice your opinions. Clear Voice Surveys stands out from other survey sites because while most survey sites only pay you for surveys you qualify for and complete, Clear Voice will pay you for each survey that you participate in. You can withdraw your earnings as cash through PayPal when your balance reaches $10, or use them to buy gift certificates at Amazon or Buy.com, or you can even exchange them for airline miles.

Spider Metrix Surveys
Based in Australia, Spider Metrix pays you to evaluate websites by taking questionnaires. Other international members are also welcome. You can also earn one point by taking short single question surveys on the site. Members, known as ‘spiders’, earn spider points as rewards. These can be redeemed as cash. Payment is made through Paypal. In Australia, they pay by check too.

Global Test Market Surveys
Global Test Market, a leading online consumer research firm, sends out loads of paid surveys around the globe. Members are rewarded for taking surveys in the form of MarketPoints (typically 50 to 100 per survey). This is an online currency which can be converted into cash. You can redeem your rewards when you reach 1000 MarketPoints (it's about $50). The advantage is that they offer paid surveys in many languages and pay in local currency in many countries. Global Test Market comes out top among online survey sites for sending the maximum number of surveys for international members, so the payout is easy to reach.

These are just a few international paid survey sites. There are many more out there.

10 Ways To Spreading The Word About Your Blog

The question that every beginner blogger asks is, “how do I spread the word about my blog?”

It’s a question that I get every time one of my friends start a blog. There are so many ways out there for any blogger to tell a wide range of people about your blog. The reach is large and can be rewarding if you do it the right way.

The trick is to find where your competitor bloggers are talking about your subject. The best way to go about this is by plugging in your niche + forum in your favorite search engine. Aside from that, here is a list to help spread the word about your blog.

Join forums

Best way to drive traffic to your blog is to join a forum and help other users by commenting of their posts. A blogger can generate a web presence and provide a service to others. Free information is a web traffic resource.

Use Entrecard

Most new bloggers join Entrecard to increase the visibility of their blog. I’m just started experimenting with Entrecard but it is possible to leverage it to your advantage. Check it out and see what it can do for you.

Comment on other blogs

Develop relationships with other bloggers in your niche. Give a valuable comment about their post and engage in conversations. Please do not comment “great post” or “loved it!”. Expand on that thought and tell them why you thought it was a great post or why you loved it.

Twitter

If you haven’t heard about Twitter then you’ve been living under a rock. Get on and join the crowd! It’s a great way to connect with other people all over the world.

Facebook

I’ve always thought that Facebook is the new Myspace. Everyone is networking on Facebook and it’s also another great way to market your blog. Chances are that you have friends on Facebook who you can share your blog with.

Article Submissions

As a blogger, you probably have a ton of articles to share.. right? If so, submit some to a site such as Ezine. You can get credit for your article and even drive traffic to your own personal blog. Some article submission sites pay bloggers to write for their site.

Email Signature

This is a free and easy way to market your blog. Just add your blog url address to the bottom of every email you send. For example, your email might say:

Hey John! I’m fine. I’d be more than happy to babysit the kids over the weekend.

StumbleUpon

Get your site Stumbled by other users. Visit stumbleupon to get the gist of it but there are plugins for Wordpress bloggers to add to the bottom of every post. By having your readers stumble upon your site, it can get shared to the stumbleupon community.

Write A Guest Post for Another Blogger

It’s nearly the same as submitting an article to article submission sites but you can write a specific article for another popular blogger. By doing so, you give the blogger some great content and in return you will get traffic forwarded back to your own blog. It’s a win-win-win situation.

Sharing with Family and Friends

Spread the word by actually telling your friends and family that you’ve got a new blog. A great friend or family member would do the best thing and tell anothe r person. Next thing you know, you’ve got word of mouth spreading.
