What is it?

Have you ever shared your notes with a classmate, or copied someone else’s notes after missing class?  What if you could get paid for doing just that?  If that appeals to you, check out Knetwit, a knowledge-sharing site with a really cool twist.

How does it work?

Here’s how it works: you upload your class notes and study guides to the site, where they can be accessed  and downloaded by other users.  You earn points, called “Koin” for uploading notes, referring friends who join, and every time someone downloads your notes.  Koin can be redeemed at the Knetwit Store for cash or merchandise including iPods, game consoles and TV’s.  You also receive “knowledge points” and “community points” which indicate your standing and credibility, and affect how many Koin you earn for each action.

First of all, I apologize for the two-week silence. I’m down to crunch time at school, so I’ve had to limit my extracurricular activities. Finals are next week. After that, I’ll be back to posting once or twice per week.

I previously posted about mystery shopping with SecretShopper.com, and cashing out with Opinion Outpost. I received checks from both of those this week, as well as a check for Mrs. Fencepost from MySurvey.com. Here is a summary:

  1. MySurvey.com: $10.00 (Mrs. Fencepost earned this one.)
  2. SecretShopper.com: $23.00
  3. OpinionOutpost.com: $6.40
  • Total: $39.40

Once finals are over, I’ll try out some other mystery shopping providers and post about my experience.

Regards,

J

Just a quick update: I earned another 15 points with Opinion Outpost, which brings me to a total of 64 points, or $6.40. Yeah, I know that’s not much money, but it took very little effort to earn it. Since I passed the five dollar minimum for cashing out, I requested a check for the entire amount I’ve earned. The process was easy: a couple of clicks and an address verification.

Opinion Outpost says to allow four to eight weeks for “processing.” I assume they are waiting to get paid before they pay me. Anyway, the check is supposedly on its way, and I’ll post when I receive it.

Update: Payment received.  See this post.

Since my previous post, I’ve joined Opinion Outpost. So far, they’ve offered me four surveys, one of which I qualified for. It took about two minutes, and was worth 10 points, which equates to $1. In order to cash out, I need to have at least 50 points.

All surveys come with a set of screening questions to make sure you fit the target demographic profile. If you qualify, you are allowed to complete the survey. If not, you will typically receive a sweepstakes entry, but no money. The exception to this is Global Test Market, which gives you 25 cents worth of points even if you don’t qualify.

Greenfield Online continues to send me surveys, most of which only offer a sweepstakes entry for completion. I’m not wasting my time on those. Today, they offered a 20 minute survey worth $4, but I didn’t qualify for it.
