My take on ' Online Survey'

It all started early January 2017, i was bored and I wanted to find extra source of money. So I decided to try this online survey thing.

So i started doing my research on what sort of online survey that are available and which can give me money/gift vouchers/product sampling and such. Based on my findings I listed out  4 sites that I think gave me the best returned by answering online survey.The listing is based on the sites that I get most surveys and rewards.

1. GlobalTestMarket 

I've registered with GlobalTestMarket (GTM) since 2016, but I was a passive member and not till early 2017 I became active. Normal procedure, we have to registered/login to sites in order for us to received the survey questions. Registration is free.There's a few sets of questions (Profile Survey) on personal/finance/socials & etc that we have to answer in order for us to get the survey question.

I would say that on a weekly basis, i would normally get in average 2 surveys per day. Each of the survey will carry certain amount of points. These points are to be collected to a certain amount that will entitle us to redeem the rewards. 

Type of survey that I normally received would be on financial,food & beverages, lifestyle and many more. However, I may not be able to answer all the surveys sent as I may not be qualified for that particular survey.

Rewards.

As of today, I have redeemed RM 50 starbucks gift card & RM 40 of AEON gift cert.

sample of reward received.

The Verdicts:

It's a good platform for if you wanted some rewards for yourself ( like free coffee,shopping voucher & stuff).But if you are looking for a cash cow kindda thing, then this is not the place. You 

2. Rakuten AIP Online Survey

Previously it was known as AIP Online Survey and I only registered in May 2017. Till date I have redeemed voucher worth RM 20.Not much but at least something.

The process is the same as GTM. You need to register to the site ( again registration is free) and fill up what they called as profile survey. This survey is to determine on the kind of surveys that you will received. Same as GTM, each survey will carry a certain amount of points. For AIP survey, on a weekly basis, average I would get at least 1 survey per day.

Rewards

In order to redeem rewards, you have to have a minimum amount of 2000 points in order to redeem. There are a lot of choices on what to redeem ( Aeon, Giant, KFC, Petronas, MolPay and many more)

The verdicts

For me it was ok, but the volume of survey given was not that high in comparison with GTM but if you fit the profile they are looking for then you will get more. The key would always be 'the more you answer, the more you'll get points'.

Again, this in not for those who are looking to get instant money or a lot of money.

3. Brand Institute

For Brand Institute,I registered back in 2016, i don't get a lot of questions but what I like about this brand is that is offer good rewards and they paid via paypal.

Same like the others, you still need to register/log in ( registration is free). There a sets few of questions to be filled in prior of getting the survey. Since I registered, I only managed to answer 1 survey so far.

Rewards

So far, all the survey rewards are in term of money value. And the payment will be paid via cheque or paypal. Till date, i've managed to get USD 5.

The verdicts

This is not for those who are looking to get instant money or a lot of money cause to be eligible for the survey is quite hard. But if you are ok with this kind of pace, then just proceed.

4. Toluna Malaysia

I only got to know about Toluna early this year when I was searching for this online survey thing.Overall I would say that the process of registering is almost the same as others.

Toluna also provide a lot of survey and their rewards are quite great too..they also have this sweeptakes and gifties.

The verdicts

Again this is not for those who are looking to get instant money or a lot of money. If want something as a treat yourself then this is one of the options.



Overall


Online survey is not a cash cow for me. But if you do it consistently then the rewards is quite good. It is something that you can do to fill up your free time..I did mine during my free lunch time and during weekend..it is not rocket science..it's easy..so if you are interested..go and start now..

Till then..adios.

2. Have 1 darlink munchkin-my boy is 3 year old now
3. Focusing on family, life and work
4. Thinking ways on making more and more money
5. Filling up blank spaces in my head and heart

till then..will pour my heart out later

Make Up routine- for Work

Hello peeps...

So today I thought of sharing my daily-to-work make up routine..since I only wear make up when I'm out with my hubby/family/any special occasion & to work..I dont really pile up a lot of stuff on my face..basically weekend will be a no make up day..thou I will look wash out on it..i dont really care.i prefer it that way..

Anyhoo..my face basically an oily face..apart from my normal face routine consisting of washing-toner-serum/moisturizer and spf..I'll put on some make up to work..so below are my daily item used:

For Face: After the whole face routine of the above..=p..i will conceal my under eyes..thou not so much eyebag & discoloration and stuff..but once applied..it will brighten your eye area..I just use my ring finger to dab gently the product under my eyes..no tools required..

I rarely use fluid/creme foundation since the whether here is always hot..and i dont wanna clog my pores so much..so I opt for powder instead..As you know...Mac studio fix is perfect for those who have oily skin..plus the coverage is excellent..been using this for about 3 years now..previously was using Clinique Derma White powder & mostly Clinique make up powder..and I tought..y not we try another product that wont make my skin break out..So far it doesnt...

So..I apply my powder using this Ecotools brush..the brush was initially for blush..but what the heck..I used it for powder since it's quite big & fluffy and soft ..plus it's cheap..dirt cheap I must say..heheh

Tools: Ecotools (used as powder brush) & Mac 109 for blusher.
Products: Powder foundation (Mac Studio Fix NC40), Mac Mineralize Concealer NW25 & Benefit Coralista-blusher

For Eyes: Done with the face..moving on with the eyes..curls my lashes with my Manicare curler..i had this curler for 7-8 years i think..hahhaha..surprisingly it does function well and I only change the rubber in between the curler..so far work well for me..plus it's not that expensive..cheapo je..bought at guardian when I was still studying..then again if it aint broke..y fix it ey..hahah...then..line my lashes with the liner and lastly mascara...

Tools: Manicare Eyelesh Curler
Product: Maybelline Crayon Line-Black & Rimmel Glam Eyes Lash Flirt Volume & Lift Mascara-Kohl Black

Lastly..For the Lips Never ever forget the lips..dab on some lip balm..then my Clinique chubby stick..and if i wanted shiner & plumper lips..top of with my lip gloss..

Products: Manuka Honey Lip butter with SPF 15, Clinique Chubby Stick-02 Whole lotta honey
Laura Mercier Lip Plumper-Rose Flush

And now u're ready to go....all and all..it only take less than 10 minutes to get ready..so why not rite?put on some color to your face..oh yes...btw..I also have no problem going out without make up..hahahahha..hope you dont mind tooo...why be shy right?

Toodles..

This & that..

It has been a while since I updated my blog..sian u..i've missed u...anyhow..i'm moving on with my life now..a lot of things had happened for the last months or so...

On my list:
1. Finally being married to the love of my life...1st March 2013

2. Resigning my current job..which is suck!!!..i guess that I'm not that kindda person who can just sit in the office 8h/day in front of the laptop..that just suck..fyi..i hated every second of my working day there..and every single day I wish that I was out from that place..and now alhamdulillah..I'm out...hoping for the next to be more better..

3. Husband car/our car was stolen last week..its like a never ending miserabe life of mine..it was our first car that we cherish and love together..I still remember the hardwork of searching n modifiying that car..and now it's gone...forever...with my smart tag n touch n go card which my dad gave me when I first got my car...it was really sad...but I believe Allah has better things for us that He gave us such dugaan as that...

As of now...that was what happening in my life right now...I always pray that He gave us such strength to live each and everyday of ourlife..I know it's hard work and we have to work hard for it..but at the end of the day...I always believe that everything happen for a reason..in His will..

So be strong..be brave n keep on praying n hoping for the best to come..also since Ramadhan is coming soon..keep in mind to always seek His forgiveness and always pray for better life..
