Surveyed out

I am doing surveys online. I joined about dozen survey panels and everyday, I have a least half a dozen surveys to do. I get a few cents to a few survey dollars for each or a chance to win a sweepstakes or daily draw. It's very repetitive and I feel like I'm burning out doing these surveys every day for very little reward. A lot of them after answering a lot of questions it ends up that I don't qualify for that survey anyway. I keep trying, thought because I'm trying to make a little extra money.

I used to be this way.
I'm also enrolled in a few survey sites. In fact I have a few in my inbox waiting for me to act on it. As much as I want to do it, sometimes I just feel burnt out from doing it. It gets tiring.
Maybe when I find a free time, I'll start doing it.

the trick is every few days to take a few days off or you will burn out, but i normally find that when i get a payout i am usually spurned on to more surveys.

No use burning out like that! Instead, do more & more at myLot which is not only fun, friendship & rewarding but also decent legit earning. There are some opportunities for earning from posting in forums by choosing the ones that you have skill or interest in. Try Postloop forums. They are much better.

Surveys can be tedious. I have earned a bit on surveys in the past. It is a process. When I feel as if I am getting burned out I just do the surveys where I am further ahead as far as payout goes. I belong to several survey sites and they are all trial and error. Some have surveys every day and some don't have any for weeks. I normally bypass the ones that don't offer me surveys and stick with the ones that do. If you are new at this get yourself a process down. Keep track of your sites and keep daily track of what you make and what surveys you took for the day from which site etc... This helps to eliminate the ones you don't get that much from. Good luck. Just like anything else if it is getting too tedious take a few days break from it.

Dear friend, I can only tell you my opinion about the surveys and the panels.
Even in the past I have participated in any survey, a little here, a bit of the, all scattered across the network gain.
I remember, for example, "Toluna", after several points that have never been able to convert into money, I abandoned that project.
At the moment I have only one panel in which I continue to work. This is called "Mister Panel". It does not give you money directly but converts Euros accumulated in polls (about 1 month available), phone recharges. Besides this is also something good, in fact, part of the proceeds are donated to organizations NGO (non-profit), such as UNICEF or to underprivileged children.
In conclusion I would only like Mister Panel, to take surveys, participate in other, at the moment I do not care.

Hello ecaron,
That's one of the things you can to earn or win something. But personally, I don't join much surveys. I tried before but I lost and forgot the sites. I didn't get much surveys and maybe that is one of the reason I didn't enjoy it much. I am doing only one survey site and just completing it whenever I get one. Most of the time I got surveyed out too - there were only a few times that I have finished the whole survey.

I agree i having been doing surveys for about 5 months and it does get repetitave because so far i think its best way to earn money online. Thats another reason that i joined mylot to earn money a different way.
