Surveys

Canada
August 31, 2017 12:28pm CST
I have joined many ptc sites and have found that doing surveys is not only frustrating, but boring and annoying. I know some people make money on them, but I don't make that much. I feel like these survey sites need to find a better way of deciding if you qualify or not. I mean how many times do the same company need you info? With technology nowadays surely they could find a way of doing something to make it easier for people, rather than waste their time. I think, that these companies are exploiting people. Does anyone else feel like this and wish it was easier and more profitable to make money on-line?

I echo your sentiments about surveys. I do them but they can be a pain. You get ripped off after spending time to answer question then at the last second you suddenly don't qualify. Swagbucks is bad about that.

Yup, it's happened to me. I've joined sites like this years ago, gave it my best shot, and got denied on my outcome, or if not outcome, the things I use, none of the sites have anything for me so I'm like...whack. I see in the reviews of the sites saying "it is a great money maker," or "I earned a little cash for 10 minutes," I think those people know what to do and how but me I'm just no good with it lol. I just stick with my games for points to redeem for cash in my prepaid debit card or points for gift cards apps lol.

@percyboots I don't use the referrals since literally 100% of all the people I know won't deal with "earn cash" or they find it useless lol and back then I didn't know about Facebook so I never sent referrals through them, I even thought we couldn't do that only use referrals on emails. And yeah Swagbucks was the one I was talking about lol. I did wish I knew how to do it though lol.

I think the reason people are saying how great these sites are, is because they make money off referrals, that's why these sites are posted everywhere. I am on Swagbucks, but for me it's slow going, I have decided that if I make a little extra money for Christmas-then so be it, but otherwise, I do wish these sites would pay more, but I won't hold my breath.

Me too! Maybe down the road, it will happen. That would be awesome! More and more people are going online and are probably trying to find ways to make money and companies are starting to realize that, but I wish some of these survey companies would catch on that a lot of people are getting frustrated and are becoming fed-up! Sometimes I check out reviews and some of them are not good, maybe the said companies should read these more and catch on. I think people should get more compensation for their time. Well let's keep our fingers crossed and hope some positive changes are made down the road.

I am experiencing the same. After promising good pay they end up paying peanuts and even scam on you.

Making money online is very difficult. Firstly you have to find a legit site that pays then works couple of hours only for a few cents. I wish online money making becomes more easier.

I am sorry to hear that. Maybe find some other websites to do.

I can relate with you. I remember I also subscribe to too many survey sites and I always end up not reaching payout. I can't tolerate too long surveys plus my internet connection isn't that fast at all.

Yeah it is really a waste of time. The questions are so repetitive, the minimum payout is so high which you might never reach and is so discouraging.
