Happy Boss’s Day To Me! Work At Home Bliss
October 16 is boss’s day. Are you ready for it? Do you still have a boss or are YOU the boss?
If you’re a freelance work at home individual, time to treat yourself to something that shows your appreciation since you’re the boss! If you work at home and have a boss, send an e-card to show your appreciation for not having to ‘see’ your boss everyday!
As a work at home professional, here are some things I’m grateful to my boss (ME!) for:
- Unlike at my old jobs, I never have the problem of someone else taking the credit for work I did! Ok wait..as a ghostwriter I kind of do but it’s ok ‘cuz I get paid extra for that!
- If there’s a run in my pantyhose, no one stares.
- If I feel like wearing pantyhose and no pants, no one cares.
- The coffee is awesome here (it was beyond sludge at the Big Meatball [aka: where I used to work])
- The boss’s door is ALWAYS open and she’s very approachable! She just ‘gets’ me.
- When I need time off, I GET IT; no questions asked!
- I have unlimited earning potential here
- No daycare fees and I can watch the Y&R and Coronation Street every day from my job

Survey Cash – Opinions Wanted From Moms
Interested in earning money with surveys? Anyone can do it if they find out about the highest paying survey companies around. Market research is a vital tool for companies to make more money and their biggest target right now is women, especially Moms. Moms do a lot of the buying for their homes, their kids, themselves, their husbands and companies want their opinion so they can develop new products geared to what the average consumer wants.
Which Companies Will Pay for My Opinion?
There are a lot of companies that are geared for market research like Ipsos Reid, Pinecone and others. Not all panels are open to everyone and you can sometimes get on priority lists to get invited to surveys that pay above average. Some women who fill in surveys part-time can make enough to supplement their income nicely with very little work involved.
What do they want to know? Companies want to know:
- What you’re buying
- What’s important to you in terms of the brands you choose such as brand recognition, company culture, corporate responsibility and green living.
- These companies also want to know what planned upcoming purchases you might have as well.
- They may ask your opinion on potential advertising campaigns with logos, slogans and even want to send you free samples to try.
How much money can you make?
Some surveys will pay a few dollars and some pay the equivalent of a few hours wages. Certain market research groups that can be invitation only can pay hundreds of dollars for your opinion. Where can you find companies who want your opinion? There are a lot of them online. Some offer minimum amounts, some ask for courtesy surveys and some companies really don’t advertise for help but if you find out about a hiring campaign, you can make some excellent money.
