I have given up doing online surveys.

I ahve given up doing online surveys because I got fed up with getting half way through one and then being told that I did not qualify for the survey. I was wasting my time. Do you feel that surveys are worth while. I am earning more money on mylot and writing articles.

I am actually doing pretty good with survey sites right now, so I can't really agree with you on that. The only surveys I have problems with are OTX Surveys, it takes 15 minutes for them to tell me I don't qualify. I usually just quit them after the initial demographic questions if the survey isn't about movies... the mosvie surveys are the only ones I qualify for with OTX. I just got paid by Pinecone a couple days ago and should be getting another payment soon since I completed a survey for them last night. So I already made $6 with them in 3 days. Maybe you should try a different survey site if the site you use hosts surveys that make you go half way before telling you that you don't qualify, I know there are more out there. I'm sure marina321 can help you fins better ones since she is also from the uk and her blog is also very informative. •¤•Good Luck•¤•

I too have some of those at times but other than that I just try to hang in there, I am a member of alot of survey sites LOL but only a couple of them have been legit, I hardly do surveys now because of all the other hype going around the net but when I do get back into that mode of doing surveys I can't complain because it pays off in the long run.

You are right on, everytime i try to start a survey i'm told the same thing i do not qualify for this survey and if i'm qualify to do one it seems to take forever to complete it,so i'll just get tire of answering their questions and just abandon the survey,i earn my money by reading emails ...so i no longer do them anymore...

Which sites have you been using? I am finding surveys worthwhile for me as I have been paid by a number of survey sites, the details are on my blog My top ones are Lightspeed and PineCone Research, just this morning I did another from PineCone and should get £4 in a couple of days... I see you're in the UK so check my blog and see which ones have paid me, I have updated payment proofs too Also helps checking 'SurveyPolice' for the top survey sites, you will find that most of the ones I use are top survey sites and they do pay, the more sites you join, the more surveys you get..

I joined about 20 survey sites and kept getting part way through a survey and getting told I was not suitable. I found lightspeed was the best and I will probably stay with them. I will check your blog out. Thankyou for the information.

Yeah, it true. A lot of sites seem to do that. But I am sticking to just 2 survey sites- zoompanel and surveysavvy. With zoompanel I get rejected very seldomely, like 1 in 5. But they reward in prizes and not in cash. Kinda crappy prizes.. but atleast I get 1-2 invitations a day which is a lot. But I'm not doing it too much 'coz it seems I have to do 15 surveys just to get a prize worth $10. Surveysavvy is the best for me. I get 1-2 a week and I get qualified atleast in one. But the best really is thier interactive survey. last 2 weeks I did 2 1-hour interactive survey which gave me $50. It is one of the few legit sites. Check surveypolice.com. Lastly, Unless you are in the USA, you will hardly go anywhere with survey sites. Goodluck!!!

That must be the answer. I do not live in the USA. Thankyou for the information.

I seem to qualify for a lot and I actually make most of my online money through surveys. I have been getting tons of them lately. I don't do the ones that don't pay anything, though.

I just claimed a £5 PayPal voucher from Lightspeed, so obviously I disagree. I've had periods when I don't qualify for any of the surveys I'm getting, and times when I've completed several surveys in a week. Overall, I have enough success with online surveys that I consider them worth doing.

I am glad you are getting along OK with the surveys. I must admit Lightspeed is about the best. I think I may have another go with them as I have quite a few points with them already. Thankyou for your response.

What you need to do is learn how to qualify for surveys. There is a trick out there and I've discovered it. I am willing to help you if you wish.
