Survey Junkies, Online Shoppers, Bloggers, and Busy Moms- Let OIB Organize Your Inbox Automatically!

Tame your out-of-control inbox!

Inbox overload. No one should have to suffer from this awful affliction. And yet tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of email users are plagued by overstuffed inboxes every single day. But there is a cure. It’s a free service called OtherInbox, or “OIB” as the cool kids say.

OIB basically weeds through all your emails and pulls out the automated ones from the ones from real people and then files them in different folders. So, that sale site coupon will come into the OIB Shopping folder, but the credit card statement will go into the OIB Financial folder. Then you can look at what you want, when you want without having to sift through dozens of other emails clogging up your inbox. And best of all, that email list you ended up on, but never signed up for, well that can be moved into the OIB Unsubscribe folder where they’ll do the breaking up for you.

OIB works with Gmail, Yahoo and AOL and has a bunch of other nifty features we can’t wait to share with you. So watch how quickly and easily it tames Carley’s out-of-control inbox. Plus you can check out her adorable PJ’s.

See OIB in action in this weeks Twirl…

So, what do you think?

I’ll tell you what I think– I think I’m in love! As a busy blogger, social media junkie, online super-shopper, busy survey-taker and more- my email is out. of. control. Seriously.

I love this idea to automatically sort my emails, so I can check important updates first- then skim through other categories as I have time. In the mood for some online shopping? I can check my shopping folder to see what new deals and coupon code updates I have waiting for me. Or, if I have a minute to earn some free cash with my favorite survey sites, I can pop into my survey folder to find all of the invites together in one place. Easy peasy!

{Also, did you notice that Carley gets emails from a bunch of the same great places I’ve told you guys about? She has the Chili’s Free Chips and Queso coupon in her Inbox, the amazing LearnVest Frugal Tips Newsletter, and a couple more- I’ll see if anyone else can find them. Leave me a comment!}

A couple of things to keep in mind…

When watching the video on the Digitwirl site, I noticed that in the comments there are a couple of issues that might come up when getting started with OIB. Nothing major, and all have solutions- but you might want to take a second to read the OtherInbox Post to check it out. You’ll see that they have an AMAZING customer support rep on the page, responding to everyone’s questions. Gotta love that, right?

I’m signing up for OIB today- and I’ll let you know how it works for me! I’d love to hear from you if you’re already using it, or plan to start. What’s YOUR biggest frustration with keeping your email organized? Leave some comments and let’s chat!

Newest FREE Product In-Home Test Opportunity! #freebies

Would you love to get product test opportunities like this?

This is my most recent free product test survey opportunity from my FAVORITE survey site, Synovate.

I earned points for filling out a survey that they sent me- then at the end, they told me I qualified for this in-home survey- two HUGE bags of dog food to test out!

This not only saves me a ton of money, since dog food is pricey, but I also get rewarded again for giving my opinions! Awesome, right?

And this isn’t the first time I’ve gotten to try products in my home, about every other month- sometimes even more often- I qualify for some type of fun in-home product testing opp!

How to get started:

If you’re not already a member, it’s a great time to sign up! It’s super quick and easy to get started, and you can earn points today by filling out all of your profile surveys. And Synovate lets you redeem those points for cash!

Join Synovate Survey Panel today!

Any questions?

If you have ANY questions about survey sites, or how they work- or Synovate in particular- feel free to leave a question in the comments. I try to answer questions within 24 hours.

If you’re already a fan of Synovate, share your favorite product test opp with me!!

This is the one we’ve all been talking about!!

Everyone loves FREE money, right?

And we all love getting FREE products too, right?

Of course! And with my VERY favorite Survey site- You get BOTH!

Yep, at Synovate you take fun online surveys, and they reward you with points that you can redeem for cash. Easy peasy.

What’s even cooler, is that Synovate is one of the VERY best companies at offering product testing– If you qualify, they’ll send you free, full size products to test out in your home. Then, after you give them your opinion about the product, they’ll give you more cash reward points. Getting PAID to try FREE stuff? Rockin’.

Sign up for Synovate today!

I’m sure you’ve heard about Synovate before… It’s a favorite of almost everyone!

But because they have a lot of great opportunities, they only open up enrollment once in a while- to make sure that they have enough great offers to keep their members happy. But they opened up today… So hurry and see if you get accepted!!

Example of a recent product test:

Synovate sent me a bottle of Italian Dressing to test out- and by the way, it was delicious! I wish I knew what brand it really was!- and then I earned $9 bucks in rewards points for doing a survey on it.

Then I got a SECOND bottle of FREE dressing. And earned ANOTHER $9 bucks in rewards! That’s $18 bucks I was paid to eat 2 bottles of FREE Italian dressing. Not bad, huh?

If you get it, let me know!

Coupon Blogger ContestAre you a fan of Sunshine and Sippy Cups? Then I’d so appreciate your support as I compete in the Cheap Sally “Bring Home the Bacon” competition! Show them that Sunshine and Sippy Cups deserves a spot in Round 2! Thanks so much — I have the BEST fans!

Survey sites I’m having good luck with lately….

Read on to learn some of the sites I’m having really good luck with lately, and share your favorites too!

Another Product Test Opp from MySurvey-

I swear, I’ve been on a ROLL with MySurvey lately… This is my 3rd product test opportunity in less than 2 months, which is amazing.

And yep, it’s another style of diapers to test out! I’m thinking that if you’re a mom, you need to join MySurvey ASAP, since all of my product tests and most of the surveys I’ve been getting rewarded for, are targeted towards moms with babies or kids under 5. It’s an easy peasy sign up, and the rewards rock too!

BIG Money Surveys at Toluna-

Another site I’ve been having some great luck with over the last few months, after a loooooong dry spell with them, is Toluna! I went a few months with hardly any earnings… It seemed like EVERY survey I would attempt would kick me out after a few questions, saying I didn’t qualify. So of course, that led to me not even wanting to try very often.

Then, I started getting some BIG money-points surveys; like, $10-$30 surveys every few days. And…. I actually qualified for almost all of them! I just had another one this week, a two part survey, but the points from the two combined equal over $30, which is amazing. I’ve been letting them add up, so I can get a BIG check before holiday shopping time!

Share your Favorites-

Have you noticed anything different with any of your survey sites lately? Any that you’re having great luck with? I’d love to hear some new one’s to check out… You know I sign up for TONS!

Remember.. The more sites you use, the more chances for good surveys, and the more money and free products you get. Plus, almost all the survey sites do monthly giveaways just for their members, with better odd’s than the big sweepstakes sites. So the more survey sites you join, the better your chances are to WIN big prizes too!

Parent’s of kids 0-5: Survey for $5 Amazon Gift Card!

Are you the parent of a child from infant to 5 years old?

If you are, then help out the Parents Insight Network by sharing your opinion on baby items!

Get Rewarded:

Once you complete the quick 5-10 minute survey, they’ll reward you with a FREE $5 Amazon gift card! Super cool, right? {I’ll add this to my account, with the rest of my FREE Amazon gift cards that I get from Swagbucks!!}

Get your gift card!

Take the quick Survey here. It only took me about 4 or 5 minutes, and was about my opinions and buying habits of baby socks. I’ve done lots of surveys and other campaigns with them before, so don’t worry… The gift card won’t be emailed immediately, but you will get it. Promise :)

Parents Insight Network

If you’re interested in learning about fun new opportunities like this in the future, sign up as a member over at Parents Insight Network. Then you’ll get notices of cool surveys, product tests, and other cool stuff.

Do you spend a lot of time online? Then get rewarded for it!

Do you spend a lot of time online?

If you’re like me, and spend a lot of time online for work, school, or just for fun, then you would totally benefit from signing up for some of my favorite sites! You deserve some great rewards, right? Of course you do.

I’m a freebie junkie…

But you already knew that :) I sign up for every rewards, survey, points and freebie site that I can find. I join tons of rewards programs, mailing lists, and fan clubs. Anything that will give me a chance at free stuff, I’m in!

Check out some of my favorites:

Reward Port At RewardPort.com we offer points for taking surveys, completing offers, shopping, reading email, and much more! Sign up today and earn your first 500 points for FREE! Click Here to join!

*******

Inbox DollarsInbox Dollars has been a favorite of mine forever! You earn pretty much the same way as RewardPort.com, but a super cool feature on here is that you can print coupons directly from their site, and then get paid an extra .10 cents for EVERY one that you redeem!

*******

MyPoints.comI love MyPoints! This was one of the very first rewards sites I ever joined… So it’s been about 5 years now. You earn points when you shop through them, and unlike Ebates, you earn points even if you use a coupon code. Plus, they’ll send you emails sometimes, with cool offers. Click the ad, earn points. Then, if you want to shop there {offers like Walmart, Sears, Kmart and more.} you earn MORE points for that too.

*******

SwagbucksYou’ve probably heard me talk about Swagbucks before, because it’s one of my VERY favorites!! I earn seriously TONS of Amazon gift cards, and all I do is use the Swagbucks toolbar to do search online, instead of Google. Once in a while I’ll do a survey or something, but pretty much ALL of my earnings are that simple, and I get enough points to get a $5 Amazon gift card every week.

What do YOU use to earn rewards while you’re online??

I figure, heck, I’m going to be reading my email anyway, how much longer does it take to click an ad or two once in a while, and earn free stuff? Use a toolbar to search, and get FREE gift cards? Um, yeah, I’m in. A couple of surveys each week to get cash money sent to me? Love it.

If you have some favorites, share ’em in the comments! I’m always looking for new sites to join!
