Take Online Surveys for Cash

By tgon1563 On September 10, 2009 No Comments

The world economy is not in very good shape about now. Many people are out of work, many are looking to make extra money to help out. People turn to the Internet, searching for ways to increase their income.

plus a lot of study and some heavy investments requiring significan amounts of cash). There are exceptions, however…

An easy way to get started is by taking online surveys for money. Using surveys like you find at Express Paid Surveys, for example, to make extra cash, requires very little in the way of money or skills to get started.

Here is how the surveys business works: Big companies must have feedback from consumers to plan new products and improve existing ones. They also need that kind of feedback to measure the effectiveness of their advertising.

Consumer spending makes up 2/3 of the economies of developed countries. Almost all big companies have very little or no contact with the ultimate consumers of their products and services. Everything gets sold through retail outlets, distant from the manufacturers.

Companies contract with market researcher to measure consumer preferences and opinions. Market researchers use mostly surveys to measure consumer opinion. Almost all of these surveys are now done over the internet, online.

Surveys are a very big business on the Net. There are thousands of surveys being made every week. So how do they get people to take the time to fill out those surveys? They pay them. Surveys pay from $5 to $150 each. Most are in the $10 to $25 range. Not a lot of money per survey, but they don’t take much time and they add up quickly.

How much money can you make? That depends on your diligence and your demographics. Most survey takers report incomes of $200 to $600 a month. Many report $1,000 a month or more. Maybe you should look into taking online surveys that pay.

There are lots of ways to make money on the Internet. Paid surveys are one of the easiest. Tens of thousands of other people are already doing it. Why not you?

Just How Bad Did Home Building Decline

By tgon1563 On August 22, 2009 No Comments

The construction industry took a beating due to the financial crisis. Just how bad did home building decline? It depends where you look but overall, the numbers are very frightening. In a report released recently, new order for homes built in the third quarter of 2008 was down 25% compared to last year. In numbers, that is 2,002 homes for this year compared to 2,660 homes in 2007.

Because of what is happening in the economy, there was increase in the number of cancellations from 24% last year to 27% this year. While real estate companies tried to curb the trend by offering it to other potential buyers, the market wasn’t biting which is why there were a lot of homes that were never sold. In terms of home building revenues, that roughly translates to $928 million. If you think that is still good, look back at the sales performance last year and you will see that it was lower by 27%. These figures go on and on and they are really depressing.

So are companies making money? No and the worse part is that construction companies have to layoff hundreds or even thousands of workers in order to stay afloat. If you wanted to build a home, the only way you can do that is if you have extra money flowing around right now because most banks will not able to loan that amount to you right now.

At this rate, the construction industry will only be able to produce 817,000 new homes this year compared to 1.98 million units in 2006. That is a lot and it is note expected to improve any time soon. But are these numbers surprising? The answer is also no because it is the right reaction especially when the country is in a financial crisis. Analysts believe this will change in the next 2 to 3 years because within this time frame, homes that were unoccupied will now have people living in them and only then will home building be once again on the upward trend.

What everyone is hoping for right now is a miracle because we are not yet out of the woods when we talk about the current financial crisis. Yes, a $700 billion bailout plan was approved and signed into law but just like Bernanke said, no one expects the recession to end overnight. It is going to take time. Is the home building decline also happening elsewhere? In the case of Canada, the answer is no. In fact, the opposite is happening. If you were to compare the number of houses built for the month ending September this year versus last year, 6,000 more homes were built in 2008 compared to 2007.

There are many reasons for this such like more people want to settle down so they move away from the rest of their family and most importantly the program they have in place happens to be much better across the border compared to what is available in the US. But back to reality, no one can deny that over here, there is a sharp decline in home building. The only thing anyone can do is hope for the best in the months and years ahead so we can perhaps forget that this ever happened.
