Title: Taking surveys as a job?
Post by: realwordnerd on November 15, 2007, 01:15:26 pm
okay, this might sound a bit strange but...

does anyone think it's plausible to just take these online surveys/offers/etc and make enough to survive? Obviously, it couldn't be done just by one site...but has anyone made, like more than 500 dollars a month from all these survey sites combined?

just curious...

No, I would not recommend doing this site or all sites combined as a way to supplement your income, though it can help out with extra spending money.

No way..........its not reliable income. You can never be guaranteed that kind of money month after month and if you have a rent, a mortgage, and bills to pay........you cant count on being able to pay them month after month just by doing this all day. Income from these sites slows down considerably after the first few months or so, due to completing all the offers already, so its just a means to make a little bit extra money here and there.

i can't even imagine the stress that would come from wondering if an offer would credit or not if you were relying on this as your sole income.....don't do it!

I HAVE TO SAY WHEN I FIRST STARTED TAKING SURVEYS ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT EITHER.  I EVEN QUIT FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND CAME BACK.  I HAVE 5 DIFFERENT SURVEY SITES I AM FAITHFUL TO AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT I AM MAKING 2 TO 3 THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH.  ONCE A SITE SEES YOU ARE A HONEST AND RELIABLE SURVEY TAKER THEY OFFER YOU ALL KINDS OF COOL SURVEYS.  I MAKE SOMETIMES UP TO 100 JUST FOR TAKING 1 HOUR LONG SURVEYS.  CAN'T MENTION ANY OF THEIR SITES BUT IF YOU LOOK YOU CAN FIND THEM.  GOOD LUCK.

I wish it were allowed to post the name of that site LOl cuz I wouldn't mind an hour of work to get about 100 bucks... I find it so hard to find reliable survey sites that aren't trying to sell you something...

Oh darn, I sure wish you could give the names of those sites! I could sure use the money......I will have to do some investigating on my own. Seems most of the survey sites are scams and they promise you big bucks for surveys, but you dont really get the money they promise. 2-3 thousand a month??? Oh my god, that is so awesome.......

HEY EVERYBODY-SINCE MY LAST POST OF HOW WELL I'M DOING TAKING SURVEYS-I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING CLEAR-THE MONEY I'M MAKING NOW COMPARED TO WHAT I WAS MAKING ABOUT 10 MONTHS AGO IS SUBSTANTIALLY LARGER BUT WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IS THAT IS IS NOT AS EASY AS GIVING YOU THE NAME OF CERTAIN SITES AND BAM! I JOINED ALL THE SITES YOU GUYS PROBABLY HAVE AND DID MODESTLY WELL BUT THE SITES THAT PAY 50 TO 100 DOLLARS A SURVEY YOU HAVE TO BE INVITED TOO BY THE COMPANY.  ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE.  IF YOU HAVE WHAT THE DEMOGRAPHICS ARE LOOKING FOR THEN YOU WILL BE ASKED TO TAKE THE SURVEY.  GREENFIELD IS ONE SITE THAT YOU CAN START WITH AND BE PATIENT IT DOESNT HAPPEN OVER NITE.  I HOPE I HELPED YOU GUYS BUT IF I COULD INVITE ALL OF YOU TO THESE SURVEYS I WOULD.  I LIKE TO SEE PEOPLE GET PAID.  SO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE SENT ME E-MAILS-I'LL PUT YOU IN MY CONTACTS AND IF I CAN I INVITE YOU ALL.  SORRY AND GOOD LUCK. missy :wave:

For someone with so much money you sure seem to have a fault capslock key - Go buy a new keyboard.

Yeah! And especially since she is trying to help everyone! Obviously, she wasnt trying to be nasty by using caps.....so I just found that comment uncalled for. :sad1:
Title: Re: Taking surveys as a job?
Post by: xplasticstars on November 16, 2007, 07:46:41 am
That wasn't very nice. She's trying to help. Alot of people use the caps, it's just a preference like anything else :)

No it wasn't nice but we all can't be happy loving people all of the time. I'm a nice guy but "MAKING POSTS LIKE THIS AND MAKING THEM REALLY WRONG" just screams "I know everything and I'm better then you."
Title: Re: Taking surveys as a job?
Post by: StvsKitty on November 16, 2007, 11:44:06 am
HOW RUDE!!! Using caps in no way relates to anyone thinking they know everything or are better than anyone else. Some people prefer to use caps due to their vision. As long as it is readable, it shouldn't matter whether it is in caps or lower case.  >:(

 :bootyshake: EGNAR! DON'T BE A HATER-AND AT LEAST DON'T BE SO PETTY.  BOY YOU HAVE IDIOTS EVERYWHERE-DON'T YOU? :angry7:  MY POST WASN'T TO BRAG-I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT IT CAN BE DONE AND I DIDN'T FALL *bleep* FIRST INTO IT.  I HAD TO WORK REALLY HARD AND STAY AT IT CONSTANTLY.  LIKE I TOLD THE FEW THAT E-MAILED ME AND IN MY LAST POST GREENFIELD SENDS INVITES, CHECK YOUR EMAILS OR GO TO THE SITE ONCE YOU HAVE JOINED AND TAKE AVAILABLE SURVEYS.  THEY ARE ONE OF SITES THAT SEND INTERACTIVE SURVEYS FOR UP TO $100.  YES PINECONE IS ANOTHER BUT YOU WON'T FIND A "JOIN NOW" ON THEIR SITE-I ACTUALLY HAD TO INTERVIEW VIA-EMAIL AND IT WASN'T EASY TO GET IN.  BUT WELL WORTH IT WHEN I DID.  SO ANYWAY TO RESPOND TO THE IDIOT ABOUT MY ALL CAPS----I LIKE ALL CAPS AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK YOURSELF- "GREEN"(envy) IS NOT A GOOD COLOR ON ANYBODY  :sad1:- PEACE

if you had a car and laptop you could do refferals for people and they would do refferals for you on nonfusioncash sites that could pay atleast that much it wouldn't be fun and i can't give you a link but it is possible

I usually use all caps only because i cant see as well as most, but my son showed my how to make the fonts larger by using my mouse...so its not 'SHOUTING''...its just tryin to 'see' hell...and i have learned that if the dang moderators and Admins of a site dont say/do anything about certain behavior..it MUST be alright..

but i digress....

I think makin money online is great..wish i had discovered it sooner...but money online is money that someone without a face,name, or address and who is not bound by the laws that employers in the real world are bound by...so you can make a lot of money, but nothin can be done if the sites you depend on..close up shop, and take your earnings with them..-if im wrong about this, somebody let me know-

and gpt sites do shut down.. but there will always be a BurgerKing, if u catch my meaning..

i have been a member of greenfield for about a year now. i joined up with them right after i joined here. and i have gotten paid from them. so i know they are not a scam. maybe what had happened with what was posted above. was the person did'nt do the surveys right or tryed to cheat with more then one account or something. and then got mad when their account got shut down and they did not get paid. you see alot of things online about sites ans such, people sueing and so on... but you never know the reasons behind it.... i always check the bbb when i join a site. if it's listed there and in good standing i know it's good to go :)
