Not a bad way to try and score some money. But, if you want to avoid all those junk emails that you will be getting from all those contests you will be entering, be sure to use a free email account like gmail, yahoo or hotmail separate from your regular email account.

I agree with Andrea about using a differant email account. Some of the survey sites are very good. I recently got a dvd player plus points using their money. I also got $60. in my paypal account. I probably have about $500. I havn’t withdrawn from other sites. Easy money if you have a bit of spare time.
