HAPPY NEW YEAR ! I hope everyone is having a safe and wonderful new years eve.... I found a company today that seems pretty promising and will know for sure in a week if they are legit so be sure to check back for that. In other reviews I would like to talk about Panda Research. this is the first company to get a bad review from me... I gave them a chance to show promise but so far no dice. Panda is one of those companies where you have to pay for a product for them to pay you. They do have some free offers buy tester beware even if your awards seem to fill up fast you have to wait in a approval for each offer some of which never comes. The other downer about this site is that you must have a verified paypal account to to cash out, and cannot cash out until you get to $50. I am not saying they are the worst site out there because trust me they aren't. i just dont reccomend them unless you have money to spend. panda research gets a midwest mommy rating of 1/5.

day 4 of my journey

I have signed up for a few more sites and have already found some I that would rank pretty low on my list. Before giving these a bad review I am going to give them more of a chance. One site i signed up for looks very promising. Zoompanel is a survey site that sends you a few surveys a week in exchange for Zoompoints that you can exchange for things like dvds or gift certificates. The point redemption starts at 1000pts but I have been a member for three days and already have 250 pts.
The prizes are not the best part of Zoompanel if you enjoy seeing top secret products before they are out then you want to check this site out. They are legit and get a midwest mommy rating of 5/5!



If you like getting free stuff you probably enjoy free samples too.... I stumbled across a sweet site today that tells you where to get the best deals, and has cool sweepstakes as well. check out sweet deals 4 moms.

day 3 vocalpoint review

A few months back i had signed up for a product testing service called vocalpoint. How did it go?
Let me start off by saying they are legit! I entered my information, filled out two or three surveys and have had great results. So far i have been sent several samples and coupons, and all they ask in return is that after i try a product I write a short message about what i liked and disliked about the product. I maybe log in twice a month and still get to do "try and tells". For anyone looking to occasionally get a little surprise in the mail I highly recommend you check them out. They get a midwestmommy rating of 5 out of 5 !

Day 2

surveys taken: about 20
Money made: depends on who you ask
Products tested:0

Ok so heres the deal, according to one site Ive made a whopping three bucks just for signing up and a whole 6 cents for doing surveys after that. The catch? they don't pay out unless you have a credit of at least 50 dollars on the account, and then it gets paid to your verified pay pal account (which I do not have yet.)

As you can see the process is slow the time is boring ( i fell asleep doing one especially long survey), but I still think I can make this work somehow. After all a girls gotta pay for college.

If i can do it then so can you.... keep visiting for updates on my journey.

day 1 of my adventure

A little about me... I am a 24 year old mother of two beautiful girls. I started this blog because I want others to know what companies are legit, and which ones just plain suck. I also want to tell you what about my adventure step by step and when I test a product ill tell you all about it!
So far i have signed up for 6 different paid surveys or product test panels. When i get my first product or payment then ill give you the site details so you can join in the fun.
