Vindale

UPDATE 7/2017:

Vindale is still LEGIT and does pay; however I choose not to spend much time there, so it has become a slow payer for me because of the $50 payout threshold.

2) Complete your profile fully. Vindale pays $2 for you to do this and it ensures that you get the surveys that match you (and your lifestyle).

3) Get your feet wet. Find a short and sweet survey/study to complete.

4) Visit the blog and explore. (That fabulous gold box)

5) Read through some of the daily questions and answers. Reading the answers will give you a sense of the types of answers that can earn you some money. Find a daily question or paid poll to complete. Usually, there are daily questions that you can earn from but the site is currently on winter break until the first of the year.

Vindale Referrals: No Deadheads!

Another question that I am constantly asked on Vindale is why I don’t lead with telling friends and prospectives about the $5 Referral program. 

The answer starts with my belief that you should know a site thoroughly before you start referring ANYONE to it.

The next thing is that you should be able to HELP anyone who joins you in any site. Ideally, you should learn the site yourself first and then start referring people confidently. If not, you probably will not be successful.

I have tons of people who join but never do anything. They're deadheads. They haven't taken the time to learn the site. They haven't even finished filling out their profile or doing anything on the site. I find that many people want to join and immediately go and get their referral link before doing anything on the site. This does not work and it will lead to very early frustration!

Let's be honest! Vindale is very clear about how they will credit a referral. They WILL NOT credit just anybody who joins the site using your link. The person has to be genuinely interested in joining the community which means that these other requirements will also have to be met (for anyone to receive $5 for a referral):

1) The referral must complete their profile.

2) The referral must complete at least one survey or study.

For me, this makes sense. Vindale is paying you to refer people who can actually add something to their site, program and community and not for just deadheads who join the site for some type of incentive. This kind of behavior does nothing for a company’s bottom line.

Here's the company's tutorial that can help you learn and navigate around the homepage:

The gist of this post is simple: Learn the site, interact, share the site and make some money.

If you still have questions, send me a message, a note or e-mail and I'll help you!

UPDATE 12/15/2015:

Look at this wonderful gem that I found online. Here is a company walk-through of the homepage on Vindale. Hope it helps! Shout out to all of those who got paid today! Congrats!

UPDATE 11/2015:  Reward Codes:

Look for the reward code tab at the top of the page.

Vindale has now added reward codes (which are familiar to swag codes, if you know about how those work). They are strings of text that you will be able to find on social media sites (or check the blog). They will only be good for a specific period of time so you will need to act on them fast! 

The locations to find the reward codes will be:

--twitter
--facebook
--instagram
--Vindale blog (blog.vindale.com)

Make sure to add them across your social platforms!

There is a tab on the top of the page that says, "Reward Codes." When you click it, a box should drop down and you should be able to paste the code there for credit. Don't miss out on this FREE money and remember they are only good for a limited time!

UPDATE 11/2015: Expansion

Vindale has expanded to now include the UK,  Canada and Australia!

Vindale is a market research company so it offers both surveys and more lucrative studies as opportunities for you to get paid. Their unique position in the market place is that they will also pay you for many other things and it is those things that will help you make an extra $50, $100 or $150 each and every month. 

Are you willing to work for 30 minutes or an hour a day for some extra cash? If you are, you can begin to earn with Vindale! You can pick and choose what you want to do and it will have a direct effect on how much or how little you earn. One thing is for certain, you have to take action, you have to begin to do something!!! The more time and energy you commit, the more success you will have. It's as simple as that!

The first thing you need to do is sign-up: http://bit.ly/survey-dollars

Tip: Use real information!!!

Make sure to provide your REAL e-mail address because you will receive survey and study invites via your inbox. You can check the site as well for surveys but you will be notified daily of new opportunities. It’s free and no one will EVER ask you for a credit card. Also, if you choose to get paid via paypal, they need your real paypal/e-mail address to pay you! If you prefer to get a check in the mail, they need your REAL information to send you a check!

Next, complete your profile and you will earn $2 for just doing that!

Now, you’re off to a great start! To further accelerate your progress, check the blog posts daily (or as much as you can), you can earn 50 cents a day for answering the daily blog post question. Mind you, Vindale picks 20 of their favorite answers but you’ll have a good chance of winning and can expect to win at least 50-70% of the time.

Tip: The key is providing thoughtful, witty or insightful answers!

Now 50 cents doesn’t seem like much but it adds up pretty quickly!

Need a break or want a quick visual? 

Here's a quick video I created to help introduce you to the site!

UPDATE: 6/2016: My 2 videos below have been removed because I used actual footage from the Vindale site, creating a copyright conflict......Sorry Vindale!

Vindale will often run photo and caption contests.

For the budding photographer. You can gain $10 if you win the photo contest that is run at least once a month.

If you’re a wordsmith, have fun and enter the caption contests, where you can add your two cents for $1. There is at least one caption challenge a month but if you check in on the site often, they may offer them more frequently.

   
Vindale Polling: $2
You can also earn $2 a month for nailing the monthly polls. These polls are easy. Have fun and you'll find yourself winning this money quite often! I know because I've won it numerous times!

Send in a Pic! $5

Just got paid? Take a quick selfie of yourself with a copy of your check or your paypal account (showing your payment) and Vindale will send you $5 for that!

Member of the Month: $5

 Every month, Vindale selects a member to profile every month and that yields another $5.

Referrals: $5 

Vindale will pay you for every person that you refer to Vindale that joins AND completes one survey or study. Although, I love getting paid for referrals, I mean, who wouldn’t, I don’t put all of my eggs in this basket because it’s dependent on other people doing some work. Many people join, but many less get serious and complete at least one survey. I’m not sure why this is, but it happens. I’m just glad that all of my money is not dependent on this. Now, for the flip, I also have many friends who LOVE Vindale and work it in their spare time and see the value of an extra $50, $100 or even $150 extra every month!

I have benefitted from most of these extra ways to earn. I’ve been a member of the month. I’ve sent in a picture of myself holding a check! I’ve won blog answers, polls and captions. I have earned for sending referrals (and that’s why it’s important to explain the site and help your referrals)! Now, I say this to you---not to boast---but to let you know that all of these things are very DOABLE in your spare time while sitting on your couch and watching tv. It does not require any major expense of extra time on your part!

It is clear to see how all of these extras plus doing a few surveys will help you earn at least $50- $100 extra every month. If you have questions or concerns, please go ahead and ask in the comments and I’m happy to help you every step of the way!

UPDATE: 6/2016--Video removed due to copyright conflict (I used actual footage from the site).
