Are your surveys too long?
« on: November 01, 2014, 03:41:35 am »
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.

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.

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
