I have signed up for a few, legit survey sites (opinionoutpost and inboxdollars are legit. No proof yet from treasuretrooper but I have heard good things) The problem is (and the one think I hate about inboxdollars) is that I can rarely seem to qualify for ANY survey they send out. I've been with them for 1 1/2 years and have only completed 5....2 of which were their own profile surveys. It's frusterating. Do you have anytips on hyow to actually qualify because I'm sick of answering 5 minutes worth of questions just to read "we're sorry" are there any (legit, obviously) sites that have a high rate of surveys people qualify for?

i am frustrated as well with survey sites and also the message that keep on telling me that i don't qualify for the survey... out of 10, 8 of them i don't qualify... so annoying... i don't know as well how can i make myself qualify for the survey... i think it got to do with the age, gender and demographic... take care and have a nice day...

One of my favorite sites where I enjoy earning money daily is Quickrewards. The main attraction is the Survey section. The site is partnered up with several of the top online survey companies and together they offer upwards of fifteen surveys a day to complete, and never less then four. Varying in range most are worth 50c-$1. With a extra few occasionally worth upwards of $10. It's all updated daily. Because of the partnership with same survey sites, you can answer your basic info questions just a couple times a day, allowing you to spend more time doing the actual survey questions. Survey Success tip: Take note of which partner survey companies you complete surveys with, they often target the same general demographic meaning you will qualify for more surveys with them in future. Survey Success tip #2: Start each day with a goal in mind, a certain number of completed surveys or amount of time. Knowing when you will be done allows you to focus on the task of answering questions in a timely manner. More info about QR, including more tips and payment proof can be found on my blog. need to know info: Only allows USA,UK,Canada. No minimum payout for paypal All Surveys and paypal payments are made next business day. Site has been around since 2002.

We go through so much in qualifying for a survey. Sometimes I don't think it is worth it. Then something wonderful will happen and I will give a stupid survey another chance.

There are indeed some legitimate sites. Opinion Outpost seems kind of streaky. I fail to qualify for six or seven and then I get to take four or five in a row. they have an interesting twist. If you do not qualify, you choose whether to enter a sweepstakes, have a charitable donation made in your name, or spin a wheel for $50. I have won that, twice, and I did get paid for it. Try MyView. they give you points for attempting, even if you do not qualify. EDU can also be good.

Actually these survey sites are having location constraint. They will never ever allow you, if you dont fall under their required geographical requirement. So what they will do...after 3-4 min of the survey, display the msg that - "We're sorry. You are not eligible". And also one more problem is there...before starting the survey, they never writes what the survey is all about. Atleast in that case, we can provide the matched criteria from the multiple choice answers. so it gives them a chance to show the nonsence msg. And one important point...if you try to take surveys which are for other locations, then probably you will be banned for that day and no other survey chances you will be able to take and will receive the warning page from them.

I have the same problem. So, I kinda fake it to get the survey. It might not be right. But, heck I want that 50cents.

Oh it's cool, I do that too. I also rarely ever put my real phone number in for any offer. I seriously feel bad for that pizza place who keeps getting these random spam phone calls.

I want to echo the sentiments said here about inboxdollars. I never seem to qualify for those surveys. What gets me even more angry about their surveys is that they ask you a bunch of question, they again information but then tell you that you do not qualify. I did one for ten minutes until it kicked me out. Now, I say I should have gotten paid for that! My remedy has been to just delete them and only open the emails. By with way, I have been on that site for 3 years. I have made less than $90.

Just fill out all of your profiles so they know what surveys to send you. Opinion Outpost has been my favorite survey site by far, so keep working at it, and eventually you'll get surveys in bunches. To qualify, sometimes you've got to tell a little white lie. This morning I was very lucky and qualified for 2 of the 3 surveys I had available. One of them was for $3.50 and the other was $2.00. :)

You just have to put information in that you think they are surveying for. If they are asking you what products you use, you should probably just put in that you use like half of the products that they ask you about. Have a nice day.
