Flagship Research is conducting a paid research study and is looking for children 6-17 years of age and adults 18 and older who have diabetes.  If you qualify it would be a 2-hour one-on-one interview for the adult and the parent would be able to attend with the child.

This interview will compensate the adults with the minor children $300 and the adults $200 in the form of a check that will be mailed at the completion of the project.

The details of this study are included below:

  • Dates: Starting Wednesday, February 3rd 2021

Earn Cash with PaidViewPoint!

Abby H.

I write a lot about my side hustles and making extra money. I wanted to talk about PaidViewPoint today.

I’ve been a member for 4-ish years, and I do a couple surveys each week. Each Survey you are sent you are pre-qualified for. That means that you won’t spend 20 minutes doing a survey only to be told, “Sorry, we don’t need you!” and you don’t get paid. PaidViewPoint surveys vary in bounty/amount earned, starting at .10 and working up to $5 (I got a $5 survey last week- they are rare, but definitely worth it!).

You will receive an email when they have surveys for you, but I check my PaidViewPoint account a few times a week to see if there are any available, just in case I miss emails from them.

As you can see from above, I cashed out $18.09 in Amazon Gift Cards yesterday. I cash out about once every two months. the cash out minimum is $15.00, and they offer Paypal cash, Walmart Gift Cards, and Amazon Gift Cards, your choice.

If you are looking for a survey company that doesn’t mess around, I recommend PaidViewPoint!

My Side Hustle Totals for 2020!

Abby H.

2020 wasn’t the best year for side hustles. Like most of us, I spent most of 2020 at home. That means no secret shopping, no audits with Field Agent. I did a lot more surveys and online research studies in 2020.

When there aren’t any side hustles to earn money, the name of the game becomes all about saving money.

My complete list of side hustles is here. And the list of apps I use is here.

Let’s start with Smartphone apps since they are pretty passive income for me. I’m not as much into them as a lot of other savers. The truth is, I don’t shop at most mainstream grocery stores, so apps like Ibotta aren’t very useful.

Misc. Most of these I have links to or more info in my side hustles post here.

  • Ohm Connect: $80 (It was hard to conserve electricity when we were all at home ALL YEAR)
  • Field Agent: $ 93.00
  • SBKC: $ 100
  • Research Studies/Focus groups: $1200 ( I did a ton of these online this year through Q-Insights and Digsite)
  • Capterra: $250
  • Selling stuff after we Marie Kondo’d the house: $555
  • PaidViewPoint: $47.06
  • Misc. Surveys, Rebates, and cashback offers: $280

That’s approximately $2800 in 2020. Not bad for a year where I spent most of the time writing, playing Playmobil, and attempting to conduct distance learning with two kiddos.
