PineCone Research is Open for Applications – Paid Surveys
I just received an e-mail from PineCone Research Panel, and they are accepting new applicants just for a limited time (if you qualify). Only $3 per survey (takes about 15-20 minutes), I know it doesn’t seem like much, but you can do them when you’re bored, late at night, at work, while you’re watching TV, or instead of going on facebook? Before you know it, by the end of the year, these things can quickly add up to a few hundred dollars (they can send you a check or you can have the funds deposited into your PayPal account).
Anyway, PineCone is one of the better paying survey companies out there, I get a couple surveys each week. Just make sure you stay consistent with the information they ask about you, like your age and the people who live in your household. Also, try not to miss the deadlines for completing a survey. If you screw up any of these, you might suddenly stop receiving surveys.
Click here to sign up for the PineCone Research Panel.
And if you’re interested, the other decent survey companies are MySurvey.com and SurveySavvy.com.
Free $50 to Begin Investing with Lending Club
Lending Club will give you a $50 sign up bonus when you sign up to start investing. This offer is exclusively for AppleRama readers. The bonus is to encourage you to try the site and is available for you to invest in Notes right away. Make sure you click this link to ensure that you receive the $50 sign up bonus.
Lending Club enables individual investors and well-qualified borrowers to get better rates than with banks or credit card companies. Their straightforward, online approach operates at a cost much lower than the big banks.
It’s no secret that banks are now charging people with good to excellent credit 15%-25% interest for loans and credit card debt.
Lending Club offers a better alternative with a simple and transparent model that leverages 50 years of credit default trends to set interest rates.
The result is that Lending Club facilitates loans at an average rate of 14% — a lower rate than most creditworthy borrowers pay on their credit cards today.
And Lending Club investors have earned an average of 9.05% in the last 20 months. That’s because when you cut out the costs of traditional financial institutions’ overhead and complexity, you end up with a better rate for borrowers and better returns for investors.
