Is SurveySavvy Legitimate? An Honest Review (And How to Earn More!)

Not all survey sites were created equally. So is SurveySavvy legitimate? Will you really make money doing their surveys? And is there a way to make even more? Read on for our honest SurveySavvy review- including the best way to make extra money from their surveys.

Ahhh, the survey. The MicroHustle many of us love to hate/hate to love.  This is probably the MicroHustle I’ve taken the most heat over in recent years, because from a short-game stand point, it just doesn’t make sense.

Sometimes I spend twenty minutes on a 50 cent survey, and those numbers just don’t seem to add up.  But the survey is the tortoise of the MicroHustle Universe.  You earn money in very small increments sometimes, it’s true. But eventually, you can win whole races- and pay for whole cruises– using these little guys.

I’m going to start by introducing you to the survey site that seems to have the most potential to make big money. It’s called SurveySavvy, and it works like most survey sites do- they send you surveys, you take them, and you make a little money.

So is SurveySavvy legitimate? Read on for our full SurveySavvy review- including the easy way to make $60+ a month!

5 Tips for Selling Your Stuff on Facebook Buy Sell Trade Groups

Need to make a little extra cash without the hassle of Craigslist or Ebay? Find out how Facebook Buy Sell Trade groups can help you declutter (and bring in some green). So how do buy sell trade groups work? And how do you find find buy and sell groups on Facebook? Read on to find out!

When I was growing up, every so often my Mom would hit a breaking point where we had TOO MUCH STUFF. Stuff in our rooms, stuff in the garage, stuff we did. Not. Need.

We’d pick the hottest Saturday of the year, wake up at dawn and pull everything we ever owned onto the front lawn. My sister and I would post signs around the neighborhood and we’d inevitably spend the entire day sitting in the yard explaining to people that we weren’t selling our bikes that were still in the garage, but visible to all the gawkers.

At the end of the day, we’d box everything up and just donate it any way. It was such an inefficient system, but what else were you supposed to do with all your stuff?

Fast forward many years to today. And the internet. God. Bless. The internet.

Because now, whenever I need to purge stuff from my house and/or need a few bucks, I head to the Facebook buy sell trade groups and make some cash WITHOUT sweating outside for hours.

So instead of hosting a yard sale or heading to Craigslist, make use of local Facebook buy and sell groups. With less clutter for you (and more money in your pocket!), it’s the ultimate way to clean house. Here’s how buy sell trade groups work for us (and how they will work for you, too).
