EDITOR'S NOTE January | 2019












































Dear Influencers,


Happy New Year! How has 2019 been for you so far?

As they say, new year - new you, and we are working on making this year in the Toluna
community full of fun new experiences. January is usually a quiet time, as many people

are still on holidays, but there will be new contests and ways to earn in the coming
months.

This month we have a few notices and highlights for you, and as always, a way to earn

bonus points via our secret contest. Read on for more details.

Keep Influencing Your World!

The Toluna Team

JANUARY HIGHLIGHTS







January on Toluna is generally a quieter time of year. Our clients have been away during

the festive season, so there are fewer surveys available; and in terms of community
initiatives, we are still planning upcoming contests for February and beyond.

However, our Games page is still available and we have extended the Summer Spinner
game through to 31st January. Have a spin to win between 100 and 3000 points!
