Surveys are too long

I have joined in surveys to earn money but most of them are very long and after answering those long question you will be notified that your profile does not match their needs. I wasted hours just to be qualified on those surveys then I realized I was wasting my time. I feel sad and guilty I lost my precious time for those surveys thst did not give me anything. I unsubscribed. and will focus my time here in mylot or reading books or writing poems.

If you are American or UK based you can try MySurvey(US) which rewards you for filling out the questions before a survey and gives you the option to complete the survey if you want. ClearVoiceSurveys is a great site as it rewards you 10c if you fail to qualify for a survey which is a win win if you ask me. You just got to do your research a little bit, surveys are a great way to earn but like you said many waste time.

I also received survey from the sites that I joined and they sent me survey which takes time to comply. It will take more or less than an hour to do with a small money. It's not advisable to do that kind of survey if you want to earn more money, the survey comes once every 2 - 3 months. It's still best to stay here in Mylot.

There are no absolute guarantees with survey companies as the Marketing researchers are very specific with geographic regions. This is why I like my survey company Opinion Outpost as they are quick withing 2 seconds they tell you if you qualify or not. I am very successful with mine and the idea is to make sure you update regularly your interests as what you said you liked and or did not own let say 3 months ago you may like now and or own now. So update your interests regularly as it makes a world of difference, I am able to receive a check weekly for my efforts this way. Good luck to you with any in the future.

taking surveys most of them are quite long. and you can end the survey ot qualifiying for it. but some sites are like that, not all. i've been a paid survey taker for about a year and a half now. they site that does this is surveyspot. but its very popular and one of the highest paying site in the US. i still participate. but i understand your frustration. i'm a member of about 14-16 other survey sites. so i do need all the time i can get. but anyway good luck!

wow that was good. they are asking for my real name and address and contact number. Is it safe to do so? I have been fooled many times in giving names and phone online. They charge my phone bills.

I agree with you most of surveys are just waste of time and there is very little return. And most of time you ll feeling boring during survey. There are best survey sites but I prefer no to go there. myLot is also one of best option in earning online but there are other options too. If you compare myLot with survey then I think I ll prefer to do myLotting...:)

I do disagreed with you just look at my profile and earnings. Mylot is just for fun time to me as doing some reading and answering but to earn it's peanut to compare to surveys. Sorry I'm offending anyone, but I do really make money than mylot

I have looked at a few survey places before but i have never joined any because they don't look like you get paid much for filling out loads of questions on a survey, but mylot is different to me.... obviously its not surveys its general questions but its quite easy to work how many posts or discussions you need to make for how much you want to earn on here.

I am a member of 28 different survey sites. I have had lots of luck with some of them. I am sorry that you are having such a bad time. I agree that you should focus your time on MyLot instead.

Try GloblalTrustMarket. They are very trusted company and has been online for more than 3 years. You will get a lot of surveys.

Are you referring to GlobalTestMarket by any chance? I have been paid $150 by them to date so they do pay.

I agree, filling out surveys takes too long for the money you make. Before Surveyspot changed their compensation method I made about $60 dollars there, but I eventually decided that I wasn't getting a very good return for the time I spent.

Yes,i agree on you.I am very interested before in joining survey sites because i wanted to earn income online.It takes too long to finish one survey but i cant cash out fast because they have high payout and i dont receive surveys at all.Only globaltestmarket sends me regular surveys once a week but their cash out is only when you reach 1000 marketpoints which is equivalent to 50dollars.I joined many survey sites but because i dont live in the U.s So i cant earn money that much.I heared some americans left their jobs and just taking surveys for a living.

Before registering to any online survey, it is maybe wise enough that you must first gather background information about that certain online survey. 2nd you must acquire users' feedback through the use of surf engine to access those users' feedback about that certain survey. If you can secure these then maybe in the near future your time will not waste in joining to any online survey. Because you can decide after gaining those background information and users' feedback about that certain online survey
