I think the answer is no, it is not worth it to spend 20-30 minutes on something you only get a few cents for. Often, in the comments section at the end of a survey, I write in that the survey was way too long for the amount of compensation offered. If more of us did that, maybe they would raise the rates a little.

Yes, all those cents add up, however I have just broken the $11 earned and thats since 2/1 of this year, I get discouraged but other members if they are real members encourage me to continue! Can someone tell me how to start a topic? Thanks

You need to be in the category/folder where you intend to post your new topic: "Offers" "Off-Topic" "Support" "Payments" "Suggestions" etc. and there is a <NEW TOPIC> button just above the list of all the other threads started by other members.  Click that button and off you go.

THANK YOU ALL for your great replies... yes I can see that some extra income is good for all of us... I am just wondering, how good it is to spend hours in one day to get maybe just a couple of dollars from this site.
There are other sites out there where you can probably make money faster...

I just wish it was easier here.
One thing I love for sure about FC is the forum... you guys are all great and I love reading you ;)

I guess that is how you want to look at it. It is forty cents you did not have that is how I would look at it. If you can make more money some other place, go for it. :moneymouth:

I think it's worth it because although it might not be a lot it will eventually add up into your total balance. Plus I always found the surveys with the lowest payouts are the easiest to qualify for

The simple answer for me is it's usually not, I try to either go for the shorter surveys or the ones that pay more. It really comes down to what's available though. I'd suggest trying to do topics you're at least somewhat interested when it's on the lower end of the earning spectrum, because then it's not completely tedious.

I agree...I tend to do the ones that are 15mins or less and I make my cash out every month...Mostly on surveys n DQs..."Pennies add up".  ;)

I struggle to have the motivation to work at it sometimes.  When I first joined I was trying everything and now not so much.  I guess it is all how you look at it.  If you were to have a part time job you would earn more money, but you dont have the flexibility like you do working on the site.  I take a break from here for awhile, then I will come back to it.

I do not attempt surveys that are under 50c payout unless I really need it for the ptc bonus (which isn't working right now anyway).

For the most part, I have been able to cash out almost every month since I have joined. FC is NOT my only source of income.

I don't mind it at all, it is only when you get like 15 mins in and suddenly get DC or such, THAT drives me absolutely nuts.

I think it depends on how you value your time. If it's an interesting survey, I enjoy taking it and don't mind how much I get paid. If you think about it, you could have spent those 20 minutes doing nothing or something else and not earning 40 cents. I usually take surveys while watching TV so I feel like I'm being productive instead of just staring at the TV! That said, I usually aim for higher paying surveys then work my way down.

I've asked myself that very same question.  is it really worth 20 minutes of my time for 40cents.. Well, that depends, if I enjoy that particular survey, yesterday it's worth it. if I'm not enjoying taking the survey, no, because it seems was way longer than 20 minutes.
