You’ve probably noticed a few changes on our Blog in the last few days. We are trying to add some bells and whisltes so that you can get more out of the experience. Reading about survey sites, although informative, can be downright dry and boring. So…I’m adding some pictures and videos that I like, hopefully to bring a smile to your face as you learn about this process. My goal for today is to be as happy as this baby is!

I’ll be discussing Lightspeed today, so far so good! I joined several months ago, and I have mostly positive impressions to this point.

I was delighted to hear from Rebecca on my Good, Bad and ugly post from yesterday, about her  good experiences with mindfield. Thanks, Rebecca! I hope to get lots of feedback going forward. I will admit that my first experience with mindfield (which was an offer) turned me off, and I may have given up too soon.

BTW, I said my goal was to be like that laughing baby, the reality is this:

Lightspeed has a well laid out member page, with easy access to information. You’ll be able to check on available surveys, your account information etc. with just a click. They pay with a point system (75 to 1000 points per survey) with 1150 points = $10. They are very upfront about what you will receive in terms of rewards.

I have gotten several surveys a week from the beginning. I haven’t qualified for all of them, but I have accumulated about 1500 points so far without spending too much time on it.

As on many of the survey sites, you’ll find member profiles to take so that they can better match you up with available surveys. It’s important to take those to get your demographics in the system. You’ll find a column for Current surveys, which pays point, and mini-polls and quick match surveys, which enter you into a sweepstakes. You can pick and choose what you want to do.

Don’t give up, here’s a little inspiration for ya! Dancing on out..

I’ve updated this review. You’ll find the the most up-to-date information about lightspeed here in a blog post June 2010.
