Title: Low on earning sites
Post by: debidoo on February 23, 2020, 11:43:22 am
I used to have a fair amount of earning sites but am down to about 4 now which is kind of distressing because I could use the extra money to supplement a kind of meager retirement and SS income. Oh well I can only keep going on the one's I have.  Have you seen a reduction in the online earning sites available?

Yes, my online earning routine has really changed in the last couple of years.  I'm down to two that I actually work on, FusionCash having always been my first choice!  FC has been the most reliable I've seen through the years.  After seeing so many others fall by the wayside, I'm convinced that admin here knows what it is doing and has our best interests at heart!

Yes, some sites have just and some I just really don't do much with anymore.  I just don't have the time or desire to work that many these days.  I am spending more time on this site and it seems to make up for the ones I don't do.

Yes. I don't make near as much as I used to.

I agree, I basically spend most of my time on FC; it's just not worth the effort to be spread all over the place.

I have had a few programs shut down but also I picked up a few. I am doing pretty good but it does take a little extra time a day but worth it :)

Yes I agree I only have three sites now that I spend time on I used to have like seven I guess times are tough everywhere but I’m grateful for the sites I still have and I love my fusion cash

I do secret shopping and get most of my groceries paid for, restaurants, department stores, fast food chains, she stores, banks.  You can get paid for doing all of these and you pick your own times and if you want to do them or not.  Good extra income.

I agree alot of sites have dried up and some have slowed down the earning. I keep searching for more and will continue to do so.

I have. Gonna quit one soon and while I will continue to find some, honestly, doing online surveys for the most part is really not worth it.

                                                      Where are these sites?  Can you share some site names?   The only secret shopping sites I've run across seem to be scams.

FC is most favorite one, I do it everyday, I usually do not qualify for surveys. the other 3 sites I so not do all the time.   I wish their were a couple more good ones.

I'm signed up on a lot of different sites, some of which I don't use regularly. In my personal experience, I have noticed cycles. I'll do really well for a while on one site, and then it'll die down and become difficult to earn anything. So I'll start working on a different site, and eventually the same thing happens. I've started to rotate through them depending on what's working for me at the time.

I used to have at 4 sites that i worked on but not any more, I am down to 2. It takes a lot  of my time when you have so many to do. So I have this one and another one that are reliable.

I've noticed that with a lot of sites. They go through different cycles so it's a matter of figuring out which ones to do and maximize the effort.

I do about 4 or 5 besides fusion Cash. Like swagbucks and my points I usually can do one survey a day on each,if I'm lucky. Do like those for Amazon gift cards can get fast within an hour. Now ordered a 10.00 Amazon  from irazoo on the 10th so far nothing,says pending.

Yes but I just concentrate on the good ones I have, half of one, six dozen of another lololol :highfive: 8)

 I noticed that too: Very few PTC (paid-to-click) sites still exist.

I have seen a site or two shut down. I have noticed that surveys are paying less.  This is not a job.  A lot of people are trying to do surveys like a job.  They rush through and try to do hundreds a day.  If you are not paying attention it is easy to get tripped up by a "trap question". Just simple stuff like throwing in a "not" in front of something and it totally changes the question.  Anyway, I think this has caused a reduction in the pay.  They are not as likely to be getting true responses.

It's hard for me to manage more than a handful of sites, but here's the one's i use to earn money or other stuff:
Listia (you can find a lot of cool stuff on here)
Vindale Research (they only pay by Paypal only,though)
Inboxdollars (check,digital gift cards,etc.)
Survey rewardz (check,Paypal or digital gift cards)
Swagbucks (they pay by Paypal or digital gift cards)
PrizeRebel (Digital gift cards)

I can barely keep up with the sites I have now! Most have conditions that limit the amount you can earn or cashout requirements!

Post by: dreamyxo on February 27, 2020, 10:12:25 pm
Yes I've just gotten really lazy on doing the sites.  I used to do so many now I pretty much only do this.

I notice that too on occasion, thats why I too have long list of sites I work on :) I get bored easily, and like a variety of things to do

I' have three sites i like to go to. This FC, is my favorite. But another one that pays the very second you cash out is my second favorite because you can cash out on this site the very second you want to & third would be this app was just a slow earning app and now it allows surveys which makes it more valuable to me

How did you get started with the secret shopper - a lot of those look like scams

I agree this is not a job - just a way to earn some extra spending money. I have been doing good with Tap research and making my 5 cents so I can do paid to click.

What other sites are people using? I have been using inbox dollars, send earnings, mypoints, swagbucks, and epoll.

I have begun to hate doing surveys.  For the most part I am tired of taking all that time to get paid a penny.

Post by: DEBMZ6 on March 01, 2020, 11:55:08 am
Yes, it's very frustrating!  I have about 5 site that I spend most of my time with.

Post by: dsawan on March 01, 2020, 01:28:42 pm
i say its the same amount but the quality of offers to earn or vids is way down for about a year. No hypermax vids anymore and surveys are harder now. so earnings suffer as a result.
Title: Re: Low on earning sites
Post by: braggin on March 01, 2020, 02:06:49 pm
Yes, I have seen a reduction in the number of sites available AND a reduction in the number of surveys I quality for. It is getting especially hard for seniors looking to earn money doing surveys in my opinion.

I have 3 main sites that I work on everyday and do I much as I can as each one.  Doing pretty well on them each month.  The others that I use I only look at them when there is nothing else available on the others. You have to put in the time to seek the rewards
