The Joy of Taking Surveys

I have signed up for a couple of survey sites and on Swagbucks I find that surveys work the best for me. Some days I find that I don't qualify for anything and then this morning I got to take two really interesting ones.
The first one was one a senior living community and their advertising campaign and the second was about auto insurance. Both of them were easy to complete and enjoyable. Paid well too!!
Do you enjoy taking surveys? I have no idea why I started doing these but overall they just entertain me I think.

@BelleStarr It may be that you have only started doing surveys recently. The ones to beware are those with general questions about family lifestyle, which are usually designed to collect information that is then sold to other companies.

My filters are on pretty high so I don't get too much. The worst was the Canadian pharmacy I ordered from oh dear lord, I get 4 or 5 a day at least from pharmacies. They do go right to junk so that is good. @Asylum

I have not found that to be the case as of yet but I will be on the lookout.

I only do one survey site, but lately I am not enjoying them so will probably quit that one.

I do one that pays cash and I have made a reasonable amount, The only problem is not enough surveys that I qualify for.

@BelleStarr The one I do is Pine Cone, they pay 3 dollars for each survey and only send the ones you do qualify for. So no weeding out by me and they never say no you don't qualify.

@fishtiger58 I have never joined that one. I guess I need to take a look.

I also like taking surveys, especially the ones that I am qualified for. I don't like it very well, when I am not qualified for a certain survey, when I thought I would. Some surveys though, are very boring, and I can't wait to get them done.
Others are quite nice, and I don't mind doing them at all.

@BelleStarr It really makes me wonder too, who are qualified for the surveys. I hate it when I am not quialified for certain surveys, as it seems such a waste of time even starting them.

I enjoy short ones 
. I love when I can complete a survey on SB and jump up the SB towards my daily goals - but it's even better when I can do in a short amount of time. Many of the topics actually bore me, but I do like the ones where we can watch a video and answer questions about what we just saw.

I really do not enjoy taking surveys. I find that most of the time I do not qualify for any of them and the ones I do get are so time consuming it's insane! I would much rather spend my time here where I have fun interacting with others. =)

I tend to make better money on the surveys than here and really less effort.

I've been making $30 a month doing surveys in my spare time--the site I belong to I get points if I don't qualify for a survey which can be turned into money!

That makes sense and nothing is a loss then. I do surveys on two sites and on Swagbucks.

I guess it is just a personal preference, I enjoy them quite a lot.

@BelleStarr Oh, they all ask at the beginning where I live and they let me go through all the survey... this is something I do not understand.

I have never qualified for one survey on swagbucks, so I quit trying, a waste of time for me.

Wow I qualify for several every day and probably could do even more. They have lots of different companies who provide the surveys, did you try others?

@BelleStarr I'm old, I don't work, I don't buy electronics, I don't have loans..it leaves me out of many - I prefer to skip them. I did what was the name Pinecone for years, I missed one deadline and they dropped me...

I usually get thrown off quite quickly after the initial questions.

lol I think I must have a strong soul. Actually I find it fascinating to see things today like smart phones that I was helping to make possible 8 or 9 years ago. They were just a possiility then and we were giving our ideas about what we would like to see.

@BelleStarr that's good to hear. I used to design surveys and I guess that puts me off them altogether.

@BelleStarr some can get funny too. Like, why do you need to know this stuff? But in the end, I don't care, they pay me for it. Hehe

I have been doing surveys since back in the day when they sent me huge booklets in the mail to fill in and mail back. Those paid nothing and were just about feeling part of things.
I do surveys for a few companies and some I quite enjoy, some I find tedious.

Yes I think it is the same for everyone but it brings in a little extra money so why not?

I belong to a lot of survey sites, so I don't do many on sites like Swagbucks and Fusion Cash that have other offers. I get burned out when I do a lot of surveys, then for a long time I won't do any. I think after doing so many surveys for several years, I'm bored with them. I'd rather find other ways to make money online.

I have signed up recently to two survey sites that's based here in my country. They send invitation to join their surveys through the email. They pay well and already in peso but sometimes i find their surveys too long and mentally stressful.

I've recently joined a survey site that pays its members. Unfortunately, I don't receive plenty of survey forms and most of the time I am not qualified :(

That is of course the draw back, I just tried and wasn't qualified for 3 in a row.
