The only surveys I qualify for...
« on: March 20, 2018, 03:54:26 pm »
...are the ones where the length is more than the payout (e.g. 10 cents for 30 minutes).  The only reason I do those surveys is to get enough credits to do Pay Per Click and get 15 cents.  The surveys I completed today were 10 cents for 30 minutes, and a 9-cent Peanut Labs survey for about 20 minutes.

I am just the wrong demographic for anything that pays over a dime.  The high-paying surveys are for rich people under 40 with large families who frequently travel all over the world (mostly CEOs and the like).

Is it just me or does this happen to everybody?

Well, I'm far from rich, I'm over 40, no family and I never travel  but I do okay on surveys.  You just have to keep trying.
After a while you figure out which ones are the best bet.   I usually try Tap Research if I'm having trouble getting 5 cents for PTC.  Their DQ's count toward the PTC.  :) :)

I'm a far from wealthy single childless 28 year old college student and I make the equivalent of a working a part time job from surveys a month from various sites. I let surveys reroute me because you can end up with a short survey that pays more

I have this problem too. Sometimes they're quicker than they initially say, though. Just keep trying.

I have a harder time qualifying for surveys because I work in marketing (though not market research). A lot of surveys reject me because of that. Sometimes I don't mind longer surveys with lower payout if it is research through a college.

Most of what I qualify for are 25 cents or below but occasionally I will get some 70 cent offers and very rarely $1 or more.

I've never figured out a rhyme or reason for qualifying for surveys.  It seems hit or miss for me.  If I'm desperate for getting those few extra cents at cash out time, I usually put in extra effort at finding a survey that accepts me, and it usually pays off.  It can be frustrating, but persistence is the key for me.

The more surveys you try, the more likely you are to find what works best for your demographics.  If you keep working them, you will eventually get familiar with the survey providers and how they screen for qualifications.  I try not to be bothered by the stated times because it would just drive me crazy.  The times are guesstimates.  Of course, I have completed some ridiculously long surveys before and usually (not always) get the credit because I won't let go, but we all face those surveys and can take 'em or leave 'em.

I am far from rich or I would not to do the surveys to make extra cash.  It is hit or miss and you have keep trying.  It seems like when you first start out that there are fewer but it get better.  I average about $80 a month just doing surveys and the videos.

Yes surveys are here and there.  Love tap research  to get the 15 cents. Need to do that on the pc not my tablet. Love that I can do fusioncash surveys on my tablet. While watching  TV.  Well sort of watching .

I'm definitely not rich or wealthy but I find by being persistent in doing surveys no matter how many times you are disqualified is the key for me.  Eventually I get a couple of surveys that work for me.  Any amount you receive helps you to meet your monthly payout goal.  Just keep trying.   :female: :female: :female: :female:
