July 2010 Survey Income

August 1st, 2010 at 01:42 am

For the newbies: I am a family practice physician and do a lot of online (and occasionally phone or in-person) market research and survey programs. These are for physicians only, not available to the general public.

July was a banner month. In addition to all the usual stuff, I got the first payment for the new iPhone-based program I started doing in May. That brought my total survey income for the month to $808. I believe that is the most I have ever earned in one month when no in-person programs were involved (the pay a lot more). This was earned entirely online.

August will probably be a little lighter because I was on vacation for one week in July and missed out on several surveys since I didn't have internet access. We'll be vacationing in August, also, but I'll have internet access the whole time so hopefully I won't miss any survey opportunities.

    Excellent side income. It is all going to your new retirement account, right?

    It is going to a combination of additional savings and mortgage prepayment (which is just another form of savings).

    Jerry, I find myself using it fairly regularly to look up info on Medscape. I also use the Monthly Prescribing Reference app. Having a calculator comes in handy occasionally, too. And I periodically look something up online via Google. Obviously, I lived and worked just fine without it, but it is just one more convenience. Patients seem to like the fact that their doctor is on top of things tech-wise.

    Jerry, there are numerous medical iPhone apps, some free, some not. So far, I've only used the free apps but I sure wish I had the iPhone when I was a resident instead of wearing a lab coat weighed down by half a dozen different guide books and cheat sheets.
