Since I own a small business, The Lapis Connection, I have complete control over all of these types of decisions, but since my company is so small, the amount of surveys I have qualified for from Elite Opinions is very few and they only rank #23 out of my top 25 survey sites. The good news is every survey is worth at least $8.70 or more and usually only last between 30 and 45 minutes. I have earned [Continue Reading…]
