It is probably not realistic to try to earn a living by taking surveys (though some people do!) but it is quite feasible to earn enough money to buy Christmas gifts or take your family on a vacation! In fact, I have a friend who saves her survey cash in a seperate account just for their family vacation!
The great thing about surveys is that you can do them when you have the time. If you never get around to doing them, you're not out anything. You have no obligation. But if you do put forth an effort to read and respond to emails, and log-in to your survey accounts at least a few times a week, you can earn a nice little Christmas bonus or vacation fund!At the end of the month, there are always lots of survey companies willing to take new applications, so be sure to apply before April 1. These are the current companies accepting applications. I have placed them in the order of popularity/highest payout.

I'll have to sign up for some of these!
I participate in Pinecone Research, and I really do like them! When you write "Males and Females 18-24" is that an age range? I'm in my 30s and was accepted into the Pinecone program... and I don't normally lie about my age. :-)
Yes, 18-24 is the age range they are currently looking for. They must have all the other age ranges filled right now. A while back they were looking for people of Hispanic decent. When they do that they deny all other applications.
It is hard to get into, so you are lucky!
