surveys....grrr

oh... is it? i thought taking surveys are better way to earn money that the pts sites...may b your info is useful for me thanks

for all surveys we have to qualified ...they check weather we r appropriate for these survey or not. so if u not qualify then u r unable to take survey ans u will not b paid by them. so take ur surveys seriously and try to qualify.
happy lotting..!!

I don't do too many survey sites sometimes i run into this stall tactic also, i just stop using that particular site because you get the message they're not on the up and up...The problem with ptc sites is that you need a lot of referrals to make it worth your efforts,but i have reach payout in all my paid to click sites without referrals the only problem i have is with paypal.You won't have any problem with ptc sites if you follow these suggestions....
1. Never join new sites unless they're real popular with the paid to click community.
2. Join sites that have been around for at least a year.
3. Google sites to see if they are legit for example:inboxdollars/scam
if to many complaints comes up then you know its a scam site.Follow these suggestions and you won't have no trouble with scam sites.Now getting active referrals is another problem i'm still working on...

I agree that it can be frustrating, but at the same time your patience can be rewarded greatly if you keep at it. I have about 4 or 5 survey sites that i am a member of and have gotten paid through. I go through phases of eing vigilant about trying to qualify and make money, and then won't evn look at them for months. But when i am doing surveys, i find with a little patience and trying, you eventually will find ones you qualify for. In the span of a year i made probably about $100 just from doing surveys...and i wasn't trying, trying, trying everyday either..just a couple times a week i would spend a few hours at it.

I HATE survey sites, too, but there are some good ones if you can find them. From what I have heard the surveys you never qualify for are only stealing your information so they can spam you later. Considering all of the sites I do and have done, I think this is accurate! PM if you'd like the name if a couople good ones for you!

erbear,

It is indeed a scam, all of them. These companies have come together to advertise and see how many viewers they can get personal information so they in turn can call or email or even send you mail with their advertisement. Good Luck to you.

Hey.., what you went through just like me lol.., but maybe one day we will find it easy. I hope that.

Hey do not lose hope as aptly someone pointed out the basic rules to join the programs you can follow them,by the way have not said which sites you joined so it would have more clear and you might have had more information about them...do not join aws that is really a scam, you can join some free one like globaltestmarket they send surveys and they pay too I am already paid twice...ciao is there but can't say because I am not successful there and there are some others too which are genuine do some good research yourself to get a list first than research on each of them so to avoid frustration later on,now after this you must have a list of good sites you can choose from choose accordingly as per requirements you can join cash paying ones or those offering gifts etc...but do not just stop after joining some survey sites...because you are not going to get a check each month it takes time,,so you need more sources of income so do join some paid to read email sites but again do research before joining, and also have at least 5 paid to click sites so now you can expect a bonus at the end of the year which you can use to buy a membership to some good paying program and make more money.. good luck

I hate survey sites. I spend 10 minutes just to see if I qualify, and then, of course, I don't. But what I hate even more is joining a survey site and spending time on a "profile" so they will email you when they get one that matches your profile. Should be able to qualify if you match, right? No. Same questions, same answer. It's very frustrating for a few pennies.

ya actually it is frustrating to see a high value survey go by, but they do pay actually, but the surveys are limited to I.T and computers and some other limited areas for limited kinds of people, so maybe you are not coming in the right category of people, also any good earning from a ptc site is only possible if you have enough referrals, so if you want to earn from a ptc site and once you confirm that the site is legitimate then you can buy referrals and then see your earnings grow. Don't loose hope yet though try other things like writing online and micro workers maybe

best of luck
