As I have written elsewhere, I never received any money for filling
of online surveys. I tried several survey sites and I made a little
paper money with many of them. But since it is below their payout
limits, I have no hope of getting anything from them.
I have also written why most of survey companies are a farce and that
one should stay away from them as much as possible. It is hard to make
money even from so called reputed companies.
Is it really possible to make money from surveys? My personal opinion
is that one should shun so called paid surveys. This is a sheer waste
of time, energy and one's hopes.
I made a little money by joining some local survey companies and focus
groups. They are not online and one has to go personally when called. I
am called a few times for participation involving 1-2 hours of my time.
The payment ranges from $40 - $100. I think I might have made about
$300 cash during the last year.
The problem with these companies is that they have many eligibility
criteria. They will ask you a series of questions only to be turned
down. Just on a few occasions one may be able to qualify. Sometimes one
of their conditions is that you should not have participated in any
survey during the last six months.
These survey companies have funny rules and I think for 50% of time, you will not qualify.
If one wants to do off line surveys and participate in local focus
groups, one may make an online search for local companies who do
physical surveys and pay cash after each participation.
One can make a little pocket money in a big city by doing one or two
surveys a month. One has to go there physically for one or two hours.
Cash is paid immediately at the end of a survey. This is better than
online surveys.
Whether off line or online, surveys are not going to generate any
worthwhile money for any one. These are just for using one's spare
time. Otherwise, there is nothing much to talk about them.
I would also urge everyone never to pay to these survey sites and never
buy any leads. Most of them are fraudulent. Survey sites offer false
promises and unnecessary hype for their own benefit. Ultimately they
are disappointing.
