I say this all with a smile on my face. I am not angry just frustrated at the idea of spending 3 hours clicking through offers and singing up for a million different Survey websites that all connect to same darn surveys. Why would people wast there time doing this. Yes in 8 months you may make a 100 dollars and at a maxim of 1 dollar an hour (thats being generous) You only wasted 100 hours of your time. give me a break. My guess is that me and my posting will be treated like a questioning new cult member, they will just call me a non believer and kick me out before I can spread my option. I dare anyone to tell me how this program is not a waste of time or too tell me what I am doing wrong,and to do so without personally attacking me. P.S. Don't tell me you make 100 dollars in 3 moths or 80 hours and that's not a waste of time cause it is.

I seems to me that most of you kind of just keep the website open and just click around a bit in between what ever else you are doing online. Pls know that I understand this is not meant to be any type of job. I was just having a hard time understating if it worth it because I was on non-stop for four hours and pulled down 50cents, and that was only doing fusion cash. I think the answer that says it all is the one ware they stated that is because of FC that they were able to go out with there husband. If that is the case then I must say I do see the value that it holds for some people,who am I to say how much time it's worth spending to get that dinner with your husband. P.S. I thank you all for refraining from personal attacks.

If you are wasting your time then leave don't come back no one is going to argue with you. I like making easy money. Since I am online wasting time anyway watching youtube, reading and participating in message boards I might as well get paid for it. At least here I get paid to post and watch videos. How much time do you spend on Facebook, Twitter or many of the thousands of inane internet sites? How many of those sites pay you for wasting your time on them?

"wasting time" is subjective. maybe you feel that
your time would be better spent elsewhere, and
that your time is worth more than the $1 you spent
an hour clicking to get. and if that's how you feel, then
i definitely can't say that you are "wrong."
however, not all of us feel that way :)
some of us are online anyway, and we do this on
the side as we go about our normal online activity. we
don't see it as drudgery -- but a perk. perhaps a small
one, but still, it's enough.
i can't deny that at times, FC is frustrating. i can see
your point, and you're entitled to your opinion of course.
but... i'll personally take an extra $30 or $40 for a few
hundred clicks :thumbsup:

I usually do not spend much time doing surveys. I agree with you on that point. I understand what your talking about. I like to make a little extra money. It builds up after awhile and it's better than nothing, in the mean time. It's nice to get an extra 25 dollars every couple months. It's not too time consuming doing the basics on fusion cash.
-
The only thing of it that matters is how you feel about it. We're here, meaning we must find some value in it! The fact that you're still here just mean you need some coaxing to stay. Make your decision we all have different reasons why we do what we do :-)

You are not wrong its just everyone that does this just does it to make a little cash while online. This is not a full time job or anything it just something to get cash for later when you really need it. Thats why I do it. I can't work and I am fighting for my disability so I spend time online so I said why not give it a try so I did and I enjoy it and I enjoy communicating with others on here. I do get fustrated when I do or try to do surveys and don't qualify but its ok becasue sometimes I do qualify and I know these surveys benefit americans to help with products or grants thats what they are out there for it so why not get paid if you do them anyway. So to me its not a waste of time and if one day I don't feel like getting on than I don't. I hope you stay with us but if you don't I understand. If it wasn't for websites like this I would not be going to an anniversary dinner this Wednesday with my husband this is how we are able to go out and have a good time at least once a year on our anniversary becasue I have no income and his is only $641 a month from SSi so we don't have much to work with and this is why I do it.

I won't tell you you're wrong...and...I won't tell you you're right. Some of us do this as a hobby where we earn a little
bit of money instead of spending. There are some people who spend time on these sites because they have a disability
where they are not able to maintain a typical job so they do a lot of clicking instead. There are as many different reasons
for being on a site like this...as there are...people who choose to participate on a site like this. Some of us feel that spending time on a legitimate GPT website is a worthwhile use of our time. It's a personal choice and I respect your point of
view.

For me this started out as an experiment to find legit sites that actually paid. I'm signed up for a couple dozen survey and GPT sites, as well as a handful of PTC sites I'm experimenting with different strategies, and got into penny auctions most recently (which I made it a rule I could only support that by using other online money I made). I was very surprised how much I was able to make and learned there was an ebb and flow to things (feasts and famines). Now I'm taking this knowledge and trying to advise friends and family who want to make some extra cash, to provide them the information/strategies I learned to make best use of their time.
This year I made it my goal to see if I could pay for Christmas using nothing but online money I made (cash, gift cards, penny auction wins, etc) - and thus far, I pleasantly surprised to report I think I'm going to make it just nicely.
One thing I found out is a lot of people I provide this information to, all are looking for a little extra cash, but very few actually follow through to sign up. This site and others like it can help you make some extra cash, one just has to decide to do it and be consistent with working them. When I first started, I put in a lot of time on each new site too, but once I got the hang of the site - learned what worked best for me and what didn't - then I found I started spending less time on the sites as I was able to work them more efficiently. Now I may spend an hour in the morning before work, and may be a couple hours after work, and I'm done with all my sites. Only days where I seem to qualify for every survey gets long - but those are rare days.
If you think it'll be worth working this site to make a little extra cash, I say give it a couple months. Try out the different items - surveys, tasks, videos, offers, etc - find out which ones work best for you, then later just limit yourself to those target items. Then you'll find you're in and out and on with your day.
Good luck to you!

I agree with you. I don't spend a lot of time here. But making extra bucks just to spend little time here not a bad idea at all.
-
I spend about 15 minutes a day here. Do my daily stuff and check out the forums. It is some of the easiets money I can earn.
-
I come here to Fusion Cash everyday and I only spend a few minutes here. I like making an extra 25 dollars every few months. But I also belong to other site where I make money. The key to most sites, especially sites like Fusion Cash and PTC sites, is referrals. If you have referrals that are active, you can make some nice money. But it all comes down to the individual.
-
i wont insult you, wont say its not a waste of time for some people, will just show this:
Current balance is: $50.52
($46.95 in offers,
$3.57 in bonuses)
thats just for this month for me. i cashed out last month for $60, which i'm expecting to be deposited in my account any day now. i do the surveys, the contests, the daily clicks and the daily email. at MOST i'm online with this for an hour a day. it may not seem like a lot to you, but thats a tank and a half of gas for me...for just doing something that i would be doing anyway. sitting on the internet goofing off. :)
-
I just started a few days ago and already I've made over $20 just doing the free offers and bonus referrals from others that joined. Not a waste of time at all and im gonna put the money to good use. :wave:
-
i only spend a few minutes a day at each site i'm a member of, that's about 1 1/2 hours a day...and since i've been doing this i've made about 500 in a year and half between all the sites, and yes sometimes things don't work out good, in the last few months 2 sites have closed down, one owing me $63 and another owing me $22, but it's all free and 500 has bought me a lot of grocery's. :wave:

It's not whether you're wrong or right about how you feel. It's you state of mind or attitude towards it, is the point.
When I started I was already jaded after being scammed so many times from other sites. I fought it for a couple of months not really earning anything. When I started to blog w/the FC members I started getting an idea of how I can make some money. If it worked for them i'd try it & get good results. When I need help I just ask and usually there's a veteran FC member that knows all the ropes & loop holes.With my state of mind in a positive frame, my confidence started to grow with each attempt. Yes, there times that things didn't go right but usually push it away & not dwell on it. I put together a strategy that works for me. I'm not really good at surveys so, I find something else to do. Usually, I do the 3 basics which gives me at $25+ a month (gas money). Everyday, 30 to 1hr, Daily cash email, paid to click,posting $3bonus,contests, paid to watch videos,$1picture of cash out paycheck,games......Sometimes when you're in a situation or negative point. It helps to look at it in a positive light. Ex: Turning lemons into lemonade, It may not be a castle but at lease the mortgage is paid off,your bf dumped u cuz u wouldn't go all the way, 6month later, you find out he got some1 preg. & he caught a vd from her. LoL, It's not how things look that makes it bad or good. It's how you respond it that is the key. :thumbsup:

fantastic answer!!!!

I also put in only a few minutes each day. Usually I don't bother trying surveys as I agree that the amount of time spent vs. the amount received doesn't make the surveys good use of my time. However, sometimes I will try doing the surveys while I'm watching TV (esp. in the fall when I'm watching football). I work on the surveys when there is an ad break; I may as well try to make a couple bucks doing a survey than making nothing at all watching the TV ads.
When you phrase it like "I make only a few dollars an hour", you are trying to compare it to an actual job. But with most of these sites, you won't be able to earn a living just working the site. You either are a stay-at-home parent earning just a little extra spending money, a student or unemployed for some other reason that is on-line for other and is able to quickly doing some stuff, or you have a different job. In any of those cases, you probably aren't using FC as your main way to make a living. As such, it is unfair to compare the hourly-wages with an actual job that you have to make a living. It would be better to compare it to some other hobby you have... It's like being an avid gamer that gets invited to partake in a beta run of a game that is slated to come out in the near future. Although you got to play the new game for free, you probably won't make a living by playing video games...

Everyone has their own motives for earning cash or Amazon gift cards or whatever online. You have analyzed yours and found it not worth your time. I am a retired Sr citizen on a fixed income, time on my hands. There are sites where it isn't worth my time. On the other hand, there are many that are. You just have to take the time to find them. I am not permitted to list them here so you will have to do your own research. I found many that have paid me $75 to be a member of an online bulletin board for a few weeks. I have found 3 that really pay for your survey time--up to $20/survey. I have joined 3 that pay me to try new products and respond with my opinion for good $$. You just have to do your research. And yes, Fusion Cash is worth my time though there are others as well. So what is not worth your time is up to you.

the way I see it its a few extra dollars each month that I can either put away for a trip not to say that it would pay for it but any kind of spending money is good spending money to me ;D

I started doing these sites when I lost my job because it made me feel a little better. Now have a new job but keep on doing the sites. Like to get the little checks in the mail! ;)
