@JudyEv I'm sure it was the hardest part. But what about landing?

@just4him You had to slow yourself down at the end and that was a bit tricky. You had thick gloves as you could burn your hands if you weren't careful.

The hardest bit was just stepping off the platform. After that, you didn't have much say in what happened.

I quit all of the survey sites that I used to belong to also. I lost interest and found that my demographics were not favorable for the audience that they were targeting the surveys to. Besides......myLotting is SO much better.

i do not like them as they keep asking for personal information. I just tried one and after letting me go through a lot of work they tell me that survey is not for me

@judyev I joined one and initially was awarded rather a lot of airmiles for my trouble. Then I started being declined when asked my roll in my company if I had the last say in ordering office supplies etc. They never had catagories I could tick regarding work. So I quit - surveys that is, not work.

Some surveys I had the same thing - not box to put Not applicable of whatever and I was forever guessing whether x company was seen as trustworthy or not as I'd never heard of them before.

I do pretty well with surveys but I hate the late disqualifications as well. Yesterday I started one and it had me watch 12 minutes of whatever I wanted on YouTube to evaluate what I watch and how I use it. As soon as I got done watching the 12 minutes of video it disqualified me which was a waste of my time! Most of the surveys I earn from seem to want the opinions of my kids more then they want my opinion.

Sometimes they don't tell you what the survey is about then it goes into financial institutions. Half of them I've never heard but they want your opinion about them. It all got too much for me in the end.

oh my, such a thrilling activity. I am one with you there. I do not think we are boring, it is just that those sites never want people to cash out so soon.

@JudyEv maybe. maybe not but I think it is not worth it because before you can reach their cash out, it would take you so much time.

@thislittlepennyearns @JudyEvans @rakski @arunima25 I used to do surveys way back but gave up on them before I could cash out on them. I lost patience. I did get some good focus group payments outta some but so many people are trying to do online work for extra pay that it's hard to even get into focus groups anymore. You have to be diligent with the email notices for surveys and pick up on them quickly to qualify before their quota fills up. I don't check my email enough to do it anymore. It also takes too much time and work for little pay.

I'm still on a few survey sites, but I'm realizing over the past few years that I'm qualifying for less and less surveys. Pretty soon it won't be worth it for me to remain on those sites either.
