Have you ever taken those paid online surveys?

I have, unfortunately and it has not been a paid job for me because I never got paid. It is not so easy to do. Cheers!!

I take about 3 of them weekly. Over the last 3 years doing them on a regar basis (3 a week) I've earned about $600.00

Paid online surveys don't work for me either. I don't like the thought of going pages to pages of questionnaires and not being able to qualify in the end. I think paid online surveys are more appropriate for moms and dads, cause as I have notice in the questionnaires, most of them are qualifying based if you are the decision maker in the house. So I stopped working on them and moved on to other paid programs which are working fine for me.

It can go both ways. Sometimes I have to go through pages of questions and end up not qualifying. Other times I get lucky and do qualify. I just did a two week participation survey where I had to record everything I drank for two weeks on a palm pilot. They sent me a 10 dollar visa card with the palm pilot, and I'll get another 50 dollar on within a month. I've done that particular study 3 times already. They usually conduct it once in summer and once in winter. This is my third time so I've made some nice money from just particular one. There are many legit sites, so if you want a list, pm me and I'll get them to you. (No referrals, no joining under me, etc.)

The only survey site I have ever tried is legitimite. It's called InboxDollars and not only can you do surveys, they also send you emails that are worth two cents each. Unfortunately I mostly gave up trying the surveys on the site because it got to the point where I rarely got a survey I was able to complete. Despite getting multiple surveys to attempt, they always ended up telling me how I didn't qualify. And sometimes, I wouldn't find out I didn't qualify for a survey twenty minutes into doing it. So yeah, it got too frustrating for my tastes. So I kind of know how you feel with it not being worth it.

yeah i do agree with you, its endless.

I stopped with any site that is contests. I have been at this for about three years now and have never won any sweeps. Sure someone has to win but that ain't me. I don't think spending 20 minutes on a survey for a contest is worth my time. There are many sweeps that you just have to fill out your info and that is it if I wanted to. But I have done points for prizes and money. I have gotten many types of product testing too. Though it isn't much it still is something. I am in Canada which I think gets more than some other countries but is nothing compared to the United States.
