Do you think the surveys are too long? When I was getting the offers I thought they were
very long. I prefer shorter surveys.
What do you prefer?
-
Yes, last month some of the survey seemed much longer, I prefer them in between shot and long, I think length should go with the amount being paid, but that does not always happen , so I take it as them come.
-
I prefer shorter surveys myself. I am a busy Father and college student and don't have time to take 30 or 45 minute surveys . I would much rather see 2-3 20C surveys that take 5 minutes than 1 25 minute survey anytime.

I completed a survey earlier this week that was susposed to be a short one but it sure wasn't. I wouldn't mind so much if it paid .50 or .75 but it only paid .20! I learned the hard way that even if you are a fast reader and typist, you'd better slow down to a snail's pace or you'll be discredited.
-
I prefer shorter surveys due to my busy schedule at work. But I'll do longer surveys if it pays more. That's the only time I'll do longer surveys.
-
I like short surveys and get approved for credit. I never get quilify
-
The shorter, the better. We're not getting paid by the hour here.Some surveys are much longer than the estimated time.You can start a survey thinking it's a short one and wind up being tied up for 2 to 3 times the estimated length.Still,you have to finish the entire survey to be credited,so what else can you do other than finish it once you've started?
-
Yes, m :turkey:ost surveys are way longer than stated. Even the "5 minute commercial surveys, take me at least 15 or 20 minutes! But, I am a little slow, LOL :turkey:
-
Usually, the surveys take more time than stated in the offer. For instance, the 5 minute surveys usually take me 15 or 20 minutes.
I prefer short surveys because I do not always have a lot of time but also I fear something going wrong such as a computer glitch and losing the survey or not getting credit after spending a lot of time on it. The more time that a survey takes, the more chance of a glitch.

I, too, have learned the hard way that if you complete a survey too fast, you might not get credit. Your survey should take longer than the offer states.
-
yes they are to long. and they ask the same questions over and over before they even start.
-
I am getting long surveys here latelty for very little money. when I get through with the survey, I get, sorry you dd not qualify' It is not fair at all. :monkey:
-
When they start doubling there questions i start doubting there authenticity. :sweat:

The commercial surveys always alert me if I take too long in between clicking something so I don't know how it could take you that long to finish.
If the survey is paying more I don't mind taking longer. I've been paid up to $70 for one survey so as long as the time and money balances out I'll do it
-
some surveys are long, but most are short and pay well... I do any survey I qualify for, be it short or long, to get credited... it all adds up toward my cashout

As far as the 5 minute commercial surveys go, I am lucky to finish in 15 minutes (sometimes they have taken me 30 minutes) I really don't see how I could do them much faster? The 6 video ads are really short, and I answer the group of questions after each one about as fast as I can, then immedately click on the next ad. Don't get me wrong, i am really grateful for these surveys because they are one of a few that I usually qualify for and they are entertaining and fun!

On my previous post I meant to reply to "ladavia89' :turkey:

no matter long or short survey as long as it get paid, I'll be happy.
-
I don't mind the length of surveys as long as I get paid adequately for my time and the questions don't get ridiculous. Once they start likening companies and services to people and personality traits, especially over and over again, it becomes hard to focus and give the survey any credibility. I sometimes wonder about the people that write some of these surveys and what they are trying to attain for the company. I also wonder if anyone at the company reviews the survey and asks the same question. If I can see a connection in the questions to truly attaining information and logical opinions, I don't mind. But sometimes I just don't, even from the viewpoint of psychology or sociology.

It's usually 6 30 second videos. That's a total of 3 minutes. The questions are usually multiple choice or picking a number on a sliding scale so it doesn't take that long to do. The only thing that requires typing is what brand it is so I don't see how it could take 30 minutes to do all that

[/quote Yeah as I said the ads are real short. As I recall there are 2 pages of multiple choice questions for each ad. For each ad you type in the brand, and before that on another page it asks you how the ad ad made you feel. (i usually type in 1 or 2 sentences) maybe its my PC but there are a few seconds of loading time for each video, and also at the end a multiple choice question about when you plan to buy a new car and finally you slide it to the # it asks for. And as I said i am not the "fastest gun in the west"! Happy Thanksgiving, ladavia89 and all FC members!

I agree. I don't mind the length of a survey as long as it does compensate me adequately for my time. Every survey doesn't need to pay huge but an hour long survey that only pays a quarter is too much for me.
I also agree about some of the questions being ridiculous or way too personal. I don't care how much a survey promises to pay, there is some information I absolutely refuse to hand out. I do not give a survey company my home address, my vehicle VIN numbers, social security number, bank account information, etc. All of that information has been asked of me at some point in the past on surveys (on various sites) and none of it, I feel, is anything a survey company needs to know. I don't feel that a survey company should even have the right to ask me my home phone number or my mobile phone number.
-
I don't mind a longer survey, as long as it's paying what it's worth. I've come across many surveys lately (not only on FC, but other places), that are 40 minutes long and pay a quarter. I always keep in mind what the survey is paying and how long it is. If I don't think it's worth it, I skip over it.
-
Some of the surveys I've completed lately have seemed kind of long. Just like most, I do prefer the shorter surveys and watch for the length in minutes on the FC Surveys list. Those Peanut Lab surveys seem to pay the least amount for the time it takes to do one of their surveys, so I choose the other surveys to qualify for first.
-
I prefer shorter surveys. it is easier to commit to a few short surveys as opposed to one short one.
-
hi yes there are some long one's and there are short one's. I prefer the short one's
it depends what the surveys are about, but, im with ya short one better.
-
I prefer shorter surveys because the longer ones can get tedious. I'm okay with longer surveys if I feel the amount it pays is fair.
-
doesn't matter to me if the surveys are short or long :)
-
well I just did a survey for 20 minutes. after they had me put in my stats 5 times they let me do a survey on reading magazine articles. after answering all the questions at the end of the articles 3 times then I got a box that had no way to click on next so I was frozen out of the survey after all that work for no reason other than to grab my ideas and run with them to send me all kinds of emails or something like that but to not even pay me a quarter. Im out of here for today.
-
Some are too long to me. So right now I just choose those survey that under 20mins.
-
I would prefer shorter surveys.
