I posted about this awesome survey site for kids back in April of this year and thought that it would be a good time to post about it again for all you new Hip2Save readers.

Do you have kiddos between the ages of 6-12 who want to earn a few extra bucks?! If so, head on over to KidzEyes, a website that conducts market research among 6-12 year old kids (note: this research is compliant with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act). KidzEyes has clients that are interested in hearing kids’ opinions in order to provide better products and services for children and sometimes they are interested in hearing parents’ opinions too, in which case, you will help earn your child(ren) additional KidzPoints.

Here’s how it works…

* Kids complete the surveys that they receive from KidzEyes via email (surveys are emailed to both the kid’s and parent’s email addresses). Upon completion of the survey, kids earn KidzPoints that can be turned in for cash or prizes (100 KidzPoints = $1). Most surveys are worth between 50 and 1000 points, sometimes more…the longer the survey, the more points they award. The KidzPoints system works kind of like a bank account and KidzEyes will even keep track of your KidzPoints in an online piggy bank.

* After 1000 points ($10) is reached, your kids can cash them in or they can save them up for something special. When the points are cashed in, your kiddos will then receive a check in the mail, in care of the parent or legal guardian.

* Each month, kids will also receive the KidzEyes SuperPoll survey which enters them into a sweepstakes where they could win an iPod, a Playstation 3, an Amazon.com gift card or some other cool prize!

* In order for your kids to become a member of KidzEyes, you (i.e. the parent/guardian) need to complete the brief registration survey found here. You will be able to register multiple kids at a time, so the sign-up survey only needs to be completed one time per household. The registration process takes about 5 minutes AND as a thank you for completing the registration process, KidzEyes will award your kiddo with 400 KidzPoints ($4)!

* Once the registration has been completed, the parent/guardian will need to provide permission for each child registered. You can provide permission by printing the permission form at the end of the registration process and mailing/faxing it to KidzEyes.

* Once KidzEyes receives parental permission, your child(ren)s accounts become active and they are now members of KidzEyes. You will also receive a final registration survey via email which is worth 100 KidzPoints ($1)!

* Only families that currently live in the United States are eligible to sign up for KidzEyes.

On a side note, my niece, Saylor (age 9), has been participating in KidzEyes for over a year now and LOVES it. She has earned over $50 and actually enjoys completing the surveys. My sister cannot say enough good things about the program and loves the fact that children get rewarded for simply sharing their honest opinions. Very cool!

And check out these comments from Hip2Save readers who currently use KidzEyes…

Just a quick thank you for posting about the KidzEyes survey program. I signed my daughter up and we have been doing the surveys often. Well we recently cashed in her points and my daughter just received her first “paycheck” for $64.50! Thanks again Collin! We love Hip2Save!

I signed my kids up last time and they have earned $40 (my son) and $60 (my daughter). A lot of the surveys are long (8-15 minutes) and repetitive, but they tell you they are worth say $5 at the beginning (so it has been worth it to them). My kids are 7 and 9 and I usually sit with them for the surveys because they are pretty long and they still aren’t experts at the mouse. A lot of surveys come for the mom or the dad too and then credit money to the kids account. Also, we have done several things other than just surveys. . .one was a snack journal and another was a trial on some cereal and you video taped the kids opinions on a little recorder that they send to you. These were worth over $20 in their accounts.

I signed my 8 year old daughter up last time Collin posted this and she’s made over $75.00. I have also been invited to join in on surveys through Kidzeyes and have made over $200.00. This is a great way for my daughter to earn money and learn how to save money. When she requests a check she decides how much she will keep for spending money and how much to put in her savings account. I definetly recommend signing up.

I signed up my son last fall and he earned about $40 by the end of the year. He also won 2nd place in one of the monthly surveys and won 1,000 pts ($10). This past weekend he completed a simple 3 day survey worth 3,000 pts ($30). Kidzeyes has been awesome!
