Should I give up on Surveys? What are the other options?

Of late I have been screened out several times on surveys. Reasons are I am not qualified or that it is not available in my country. The disappointing fact is that most surveys do not give out points if you do not qualify.

These are my ways to earn online: 1. Audition for voice over jobs for commercials at voices.com 2. Sell my dirty underwear and socks for some perverts online.

They pay me 100 to 500 dollars for it. 3. Write articles for upwork 4. Make ASMR videos for Youtube....

I read about the sites where people buy used underwear. It is hard to understand that some people are willing to pay so much money for those things

But people buy many strange things.

@florelway I am not kidding,There is a market for that.. Some people scam them by spraying fish sauce and vinegar on new undies.

There is a whole subreddit for it. About the voiceover jobs, if you have call center experience and American accent, you have a chance.

I'm always screened out at view fruit. So far I like global test market because they give point even if you are screened out.

I used survey sites in the past but not anymore. In many cases I didn't qualify for the surveys, so I felt that I was wasting my time.

They are too time consuming for me too. I am also tired of not qualifying.

Right, they are very meticulous in pre-qualifying respondents.

@Porcospino, you are right wasting time. Minutes wasted without getting something in return. In fairness to some sites which give some considerations.

I forgot about surveys. I never quality. I now know that the best way to earn is to save on other things.

@florelway I save on clothes by thinking twice before buying anything. I save when I go to the supermarket by writing a list of my needs and sticking to it.

You are right though impossible to save on things that are essential and cannot be avoided.

@marguicha in our country we have plenty of shops selling bargained clothing so it's not really a problem buying clothes. In my case what's eating up my budget is the cost of living we cannot prevent high prices of basic commodities, transportation and electric power consumption.

@tech40 could have been better if they give us points after being screened out. It's so hard to get the required point for redemption.

On Swagbucks, if you try to do Gold Surveys you get 1 SB (point) if you get disqualified. The maximum you can get from this is 5 SB in one day. But if you do their Peanut Lab surveys you get 1 SB for each survey you try but get disqualified from. There is no daily limit. I only use Swagbucks for surveys. I love the site because it offers other ways to earn besides surveys - online shopping, dining out, daily poll, swag codes, and other things. So in combination with all that I can get to the minimum PayPal cashout faster. You can redeem SB for gift cards but I prefer PayPal cash. Not sure if Swagbucks is available in your country though... By the way, there have been many times when I was either unable to qualify for a survey or was disqualified from one while doing it. You never know.

@florelway I think if you were banned you wouldn't even been allowed to attempt these surveys.

@lovebuglena thanks for these tips. I will try these sites if they are available in my country. I just thought that maybe because I did not qualify most of the times then I will not have any chance at all. It seems to me I might have been banned?l

It must be pretty hard being from another country, those of us from the US get screened out alot too. Maybe you can find a company that deals specifically with your country or those in your area of the world.

Don't give up but try surveys which give you some points even if they screen you out. I am earning well from surveys although I am not giving much time to survey sites due to my offline activities.

Look for sites that have surveys that easier to qualify for or sign up to other sites that you can earn money without surveys!!!
