I guess it is because the low paying surveys are the easiest to qualify for.

I only qualify for the low paying surveys but I am glad for them.

With the surveys you need to always answer the questions the same way. If not they detect it and keep pushing you into the low paying ones. Save all of your answers on notepad, etc. and keep it open while doing the surveys.

Tap research had 10 cents or 17cents.  I never did those. Sometimes you see one for 5.00  thinking well I can't do that,but got one completed at swagbucks.

If you tell the truth you do not need to save your answers on a notepad. And who has time for that anyway or to look through hundreds of questions and answers. You should know your age, where you work, where your bank is and all the other questions they ask.  If you lie then know the lie and answer the same way.

This is not a job. Why would they pay people $11 to answer questions most people are lying about anyway. Even people in these forums have admitted they answer the questions to stay in the survey.  They have figured out how to answer the questions to say in the survey.  They are only doing the survey to get the money.  Besides the fact that if they survey say 1000 people they can't pay $11,000 for a survey that may or may not give true results.

Because this is not a job. And most people on sites like this are just trying to make money and say what they think they need to in order to stay in the survey. So why would they pay $7 for your opinion when it may not even be the truth?  Don't forget FC takes a chunk out of the pay.  So in reality I wonder if a survey pays 11 cents to us how much is the host site being paid?  5o cents?  $1 ?   Not sure how it works but the host site, in this case, FC, makes money off every survey we all take.  The host of the survey is paying more than the 11 cents you get assuming you actually get paid.

I try to do at least one survey every day.  It's pretty much the only way to get the required $.05 around here, so even if the pay is low, as long as I get $.05, I'm satisfied.  There'll always be a higher paying one on down the road.
