What do you think of online surveys?

So I've just started doing surveys for money. It seemed like a simple, fast way to get money. As soon as I started though, I ran into a roadblock. It's just really hard to get a survey you can qualify for. Most of the time I get disqualified from taking a survey and hardly do I receive a reward for completing them.
So... I decided to join many different panels to make the max amount of cash. It's too early to tell if it works well or not, but I do have high hopes. How about those of you that have already been doing this for a long time? Does it work well? Speak your mind and tell us about your experiences.

I hope you have better luck at it than I did. I have tried the survey with a couple different companies. Both guaranteeing no credit card was needed. Well with the first one about 2/3 of the surveys was for products you had to sign up with a cc or purchase and then tell about it. Yes they would pay you for the survey but you were spending money. The ones that needed no cc were so hard to find I couldnt tell you if they existed or not. The second company I signed up for I didnt need a cc but each time I signed up for a survey it was another survey company. I mean it was like 5 in a row asking the same name addy email etc. Sometimes Im slow to catch on thats when I realized all I was doing was signing up for different companies and not making any money. So i immediately unsubscribed. I will say all the companies when I unsubscribed did so and I didnt have to do that step again.As for you making money on those if you do you are a better man or woman than me.. Good luck..

Wow... my survey sites may be difficult to earn on, but at least they are free. Sounds like you had your hands full just trying to get an account, lol. What sites did you go to?

I've been doing surveys about a year now. It's true, it can be a headache not getting qualified for a survey. I keep trying everyday eventually it does add up in a month. I use to put away $10 into paypal a month. I've been soo busy at work I don't have the time to answer surveys like I want to. I even get free stuff in the mail to try out new products. Survey's is not always good for anybody if you have the patience its good for you. Good Luck.

$10 a month sounds a lot to me right now actually. As long as some money is rolling in I will be satisfied.

In fact I am interested in any kinds of online earning, including the online surveys. However, I had joined several survey websites before. But few of them are honest to pay. This is why I don't want to join many survey websites unless I know it is honest to pay.
I love China

I've been doing surveys for years and making money with them. It's pretty much like any way to make money online. You're not going to get rich quick. You have to be patient. I just received a $100 dollar check from Yougov.com,but it quite awhile. No one is going to pay you to do nothing. Earning online is like any job.
I have no luck in online surveys as I am not residents of those countries. So I prefer to find another way to earn online.

Hi Pumpkin, i don't have good experience with my online surveys as well. Most of the time, i got disappointed with them. Because all of the surveys which i had joined don't give me much surveys to earn. Most of the time, i don't earn well from them. So, i prefer to left them for good. I prefer to spend more time into posting in Mylot and other sites.

Most of the surveys are restricted to countries and some surveys are trying to cheat us after we complete half of the survey they said you are not eligible for this survey like that..so it is not good to waste time in surveys

I believe some are legit, and i still work by doing online surveys. The globaltestmarket is one of the good online survey, and its really simple and fun. This is a new experience for me doing online survey. I think it is good way to online earning
