Waiting for Support

The other day I referred a new friend to a particular survey site, So he could earn some extra money online. Well, even though this company says that it provides surveys for his country, there were none available. needless to say, he was very disappointed. I assured him that I have been paid, which I have, and that Americans have all kinds of surveys available to them, but other countries may have to wait for a certain survey to be available, and they will send him an invitation to complete a survey. Just to ease my own mind, I went back and checked these Terms and Conditions. They are good for his country. What I did was send support a question asked for them to verify that he is eligible for their program and how will he be notified for surveys. Now I just have to wait for a response... Waiting... and Waiting...

Hello Flash, There are many survey sites which gives surveys according to the location and pay them it happens that if you are in US you will get the surveys and will be paid and if another person who is in INDIA won't get those surveys though that site is valid for him also. I have observer it in TOLUNA a survey site where US and we INDIANS are given different paid polls and surveys. Though it is not your fault you did whatever best you could do for that person.

That's good to hear from you that you are helping other people to earn also. I can say that you have a good heart. You shared your opinions, your money, your presence to someone. I hope that you really continued helping to some other people. I am also hoping that I am the one of them. I am new to myLot and I am very amazed from this site which I earned money. I really wanted to have an online job, online earning of money to support of my financial. I always find that site which still i couldn't find it.

young lady I will be happy to help you too. Check out my profile page. you can visit my blog from the link there, in My Site. There is a list of sites called "International Bux Makers" and It can help you find good sites to earn if you do not live in the US. We are having trouble with the survey company for persons in India, but everything else is working just great.

There are very few surveys for Indians even from reputed paying international sites like Global test market. So I guess the site to which you had referred your friend is pf a similar kind. We hardly get survey options, may be around 3 a week. So I have signed u for three or four sites together so that I can get at least a few more survey opportunities. However there is no denying the fact that Americans get a lot of survey opportunities compared to their counterparts. All the company will say when asked why I am not getting surveys is that some of their clients are looking for specific profiles or demographics and so I should keep all my profile information updated at all times. However that does not really make a difference in the number of surveys we receive.

You are welcome! There are few Indian survey sites which pay thorough vouchers that can be used to buy stuff from specific sites.You could tell your friend to look for such survey sites since he is from India.

This can take some time. I use some survey site as you know. For UK there is only some available. So survey sites from US are not always good for UK'S members.

Well, good morning. Yes some surveys sites do not offer surveys in different countries. I am just a little miffed that the terms say India but then they have nothing available to take.

id like to try survey site but it requires you to come to the store once in a month which I do not like. I have a full time job and I can't take a leave because of that. Does the site you are referring too also works like this? You need an appearance to the store once a month?

I don't think so. I don't really under stand what you are asking. Do you want to now if they make you buy things? then no they do not. they just ask you ? about movies or commercials on tv or what kind of noodles you put in the soup--that kind of stuff.

Some stores requires you to come to the store once a month and observe buyer's behavior. And some will give you money to buy from their stuff, you can take the product but you have to give opinion about the product.

hello flash2, this is guilt you are experiencing. you have done the best you can by referring him to a survey site that you are confident is legitimate, but you cannot control how the survey site interracts with your friend. if he is in the wrong country, and they do not offer him surveys, that is not a situation you can change. you have done your best.

Thank you Francesca, This is true. I felt terrible when He said he could not take a survey, and I did feel guilty. You have given very good observation.
