A bad day for surveys

Does anyone else ever have a day they just feel like they are off kilter with surveys or online earning? I seemed to have hit that wall today. I had some spare time on my hands and so I tried some surveys on Opinion Outpost, Swagbucks and Treasure Trooper. I spent almost an hour and a half on attempting surveys, answering captchas and answerinf qualifying questions, and out of literally about 15-25 surveys I attempted to complete, I made a whopping 2 bucks.
Sometimes I wonder if I should completely stip doing surveys. But I do enjoy the product tests, focus roups and communities/diary projects. But those are few and far between it seems.
How is everyone else and your online earning doing this month? Anyone else hit any road blocks?

Surveys are not for me, I tried to join many survey sites but it didn't work.

At least you are still earning on those sites. Too bad though the survey sites I've joined no longer accepts paypal.

I hate days like that. I have the worst luck with SB surveys.

SB surveys are a pain. You can go around in circles forever until "qualifying."

This is the main reason why I stopped doing surveys. I settled for forums instead.

As a matter of fact, yes, that happens to me from time to time. Right now, as I post, I just logged off of one of my favorite earning sites in a little bit of a huff because I, too, am having a bad survey day.
I think it's funny how a survey invitation reads: 'We Need Your Opinion'. 'Your Help Is Needed'. ' We Want To Hear From You'. If I'm so needed or wanted, then why is it that I'm being disqualified before I even begin the questionnaire? Actually, I don't think it's funny at all.
I already know the answer, I'm just venting.

Survey sites can be such a waste of time! Seen your $2 was lucky compared to what I get lol. I do Swagbucks as well now and then when I feel like taking the time.

That is a lot of time to put in for so little returns. I only do online writing but for real earnings I sell online which is a lot less effort for more money,

It is more gainful to do it in your country, but here it is not.

I don't like surveys though I have joined a few sites. I am new to this and I have been suggested to be patient with it. So far I have been disqualified for many and have been able to complete only a few.
