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.

My wife recently helped me realize a lifelong dream: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve wanted to study martial arts. Mrs. Fencepost wanted to find an activity we could do together for fun, so she tracked down a jujitsu class at our local YMCA and persuaded me that we could afford it. We’ve been attending for about a month now, and we both really like it. Violently throwing each other around seems to bring us closer as a couple, and it’s a lot of fun. Plus, being members of the YMCA gives us access to their pool, and we both love to swim.

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.

Most reputable sources caution that you won’t get rich filling out surveys online. There is no guarantee as to how many surveys you will qualify for or how much they will pay. However, if you have internet access, a little free time, and enjoy giving your opinion, it can be an easy way to make a little money on the side.
