deciding factor
« on: August 05, 2019, 10:50:55 am »
When choosing which surveys to answer is it the amount of the incentive or the length of time that determines which ones you choose.  I usually go for the amount of time.

I just go for quantity. Go, go, go.

I do not pay attention to the amount of time because it is never correct.

I just go with the ones that I qualify for. I click on most offers and see if I qualify. If not I just get the dq penny and  move on to the next one

I rarely, if ever, pay attention to the time associated with a survey.  When I began working this site I used to follow along with the notation of the length of time and soon found it to be a poor guessing game.  You'll only frustrate yourself if you do.

It depends on how I feel about the survey.  Time is relative.

Don't really pay attention to either just starting working them and hope for the best.

I go by the survey time. I am not going to take a 60 minute survey just to find out at the very end I don't qualify!

I look at both the time and money factors.  If I get into a survey that seems too lengthy and detailed for the money, i sometimes just close out of it because I have completed too many surveys where I didn't receive credit.  In fact, that happens on F.C. a little too often for me!

If I have time I go down the list and click all the surveys.  But usually right now I click higher paying first.  Rarely do I look at the time.  Usually the time is not where close to correct.

Time most of the time unless it is a really high paying survey

Both, the amount of time and the incentive.  I will not spend an hour on a survey for one dollar.

Both.  But if a survey is longer than 15 minutes, I lose my focus.  So I don't bother with those.

When I have time and nothing to do all day I'll do whatever I can all day.  Naturally I try and do the shortest surveys for the most $$$ but in the end as long as I get the five cents for paid to click I'm a happy girl.
