Paid Surveys Made Simple: Vindale

Vindale Research - The Quick and Clean 
(Not a big fan of dirty today, sorry)


Vindale Research is an online company that takes an interesting approach to market research and online surveys. They advertise payouts of $5 - $75, a rate considerably higher than most competitors and state that customers will be evaluating products and services.

In reality, You may get there one day, but starting off, You'll be making between $0.10 (To complete the profile/demographic questions that most companies expect you to do for free) and $4.00 per survey ($3 is about the average for 20-30 minutes). The more you do, the more surveys you will get invitations to, and the higher they start paying. Lately, I've been getting offers for some that are upwards of $10, for about 30-45 minutes of "work". 

So... The Electric Car Revolution has yet to appear... Here's why.

Well, While we're not quite there yet (Though I would love to drive to work for $0.05 per day), the technology isn't considered to be viable yet. The few cars that have an all electric option are expensive; You'll pay more for the base model electric than you will for the tricked-out, all inclusive combustion-engine (Later called CE, because I'm lazy. Sorry.) twin. These new electrics don't have a range enough to satisfy most people, parking lots don't commonly offer outlets to plug into, and people haven't had time to adjust to the idea of a car that you can't carry an extra gas can in, or fill up again if you spend a little longer on the road than planned.
