Samplicious
« on: September 06, 2012, 07:56:26 pm »
Give me some pointers here!  I have tried and tried with this one and wow, it takes forever to go to the next question.  Is it just me or what?  It also states that if you get denied or something, if it has coins by it, you will still get credit for a penny and that has not happen either.  Had several surveys today that had coins by them, but did not get through any of them.  This last one was about cellular phones.  Thanks in advance. :BangHead: :dontknow:

I haven't had trouble with the slowness of sampilicious, but it is rare that I qualify for one, although, I do on occasion.  Regarding the penny for your efforts when you see the coins next to the survey, I have found I am usually credited the penny, but occasionally I am not.  I guess it is some sort of glitch.  Keep trying surveys, it's really nice when it works and it adds up.

Me too, when I was trying Simplicious be itself I never qualified, now with FC surveys I qualify sometimes.  Some other times like today i got paid for 2 or 3 of them but the ones with the penny for your efforts 99% of times I get paid, once in a while I do not but hey better someitmes than nver.  Good luck

They have their moments. It seems like about every 5 that I do for them I get accepted. Same questions to start out with,

I wonder how they determine if you qualify? Sometimes I try to answer what I think they want to hear just to see if I qualify. Nothing works ???

As for survey qualification, it's a complex issue:
1) Surveys are often routed through two or more survey systems, and they rarely share information: so you may have to "qualify" for a survey multiple times.
2) Surveys are typically targeted at one demographic "slice", for example "males in the midwest".  Once the quota of "males in the midwest" is full, you wont qualify anymore.  You may see other people being credited for the same survey, because they're in a different 'slice'.
3) Since your qualification depends on your demographics (which you can't control) different members have different experiences with surveys.  For some, who are among rarer demographics, they almost always click through, qualify and get credited.  For others, among more common demographics, they have more difficulties qualifying. 

To belabor the restaurant metaphor, a survey provider might "order" 200 survey completions from "males in the midwest".  If we delivered them "females in new york" instead, they'd rightfully be dissatisfied; like getting fish 'n chips when you ordered a steak.  This is why taking surveys can be frustrating, inconsistent work.  If there was a way to improve it, we would, but you can't really tell a multi-billion dollar multinational research firm that their survey platform "needs to be fixed"...
One can lead a horse to water however, if one holds the horse's head under, that horse will drown.

maybe 1 out of every 6 surveys are accepted. most of the time it just says that your not able to do this survey or something like that...

I never seem to qualify for Sampilicious.  I don't know why.

Don't feel bad, I don't think you're alone.  I hate to tell you how many surveys I do and either get bumped right away, or even after a few minutes.  I know it's frustrating, all I can say is keep trying because when you do finish one and get approved it's a great feeling!!! :BangHead:
