Online Surveys

I don't know what to do to improve my answers in an online survey to actually complete it and earn from it. A lot of times I complete the survey or get to almost the end and I get a pop up saying that I do not qualify or the survey has been cancelled. After I have already ginven them all my information and opinions! Then there are other's that tell me like 81 cents for this 9 minute survey and complete it, actually longer and I earn 2 cents! Now it takes a very long time to make the required cash out amount! So what should I do?

right now so I could get $26 after four years I have been doing them on Zap ant those are the one's that would say more and almost all the time just give me 2 cents. I have tried to do some on Eureka and those are the ones that close after a few questions or have closed before I get started. I tried Top Surveys and I have never got to do one, they always say survey closed! Those are the only ones I have tried recently.

I have had the same thing happen to me. There is no right answer. Some companies just need certain things. Either find another survey site or go with the flow.

I quit taking surveys years and years ago. They always let me finish them and then tell me I don't qualify. I always complained about those and the company running it would pay me, anyway. If they promised you 81 cents to complete the survey, they HAVE to pay that amount! Complain to the company and threaten to turn them in to the BBB!

I stopped dong them a lot because I wasn't making anything or very little! Most of them I cannot contact to complain, so I just left.

I know some sites/apps that have other things as well as surveys and I do the other things and not the surveys. I am sorry you had bad luck with them too.

I only use paid viewpoint for surveys. You get at least 10 cents every time. I often don't qualify but still get that for my time

You just have to keep trying, I manage to cash out on surveys at least once a week but it takes some time, One one of my sites if the survey is not for me they give me 3 points for trying and soon even that adds up,

It sucks when you have spent a long time on a survey only to be told you are not qualified..that's why I don't waste my time on surveys
