I started blogging as an outlet for myself. I had postpartum depression having my second child and not much help around the house to deal with a new baby and the one I had was only 14 months old. So I started writing but I was also taking surveys and getting free products from those survey sites. I would take a ton of surveys and found it really fun. It was like a peek into what products or packaging would be out on the market soon. Much like blogging has become for me…

Here are just a few of the places I was working at.

Panelists must take surveys and accumulate points to redeem rewards such as a gift card.

I mean I signed up for almost all of the survey sites out there. Here is one other one that I signed up for and worked with for a while.

Both of these sites kept me busy while I was building my blog and trying to keep my mind busy.
