Aging Members

I told my Mom's friend about this site about 2 weeks ago she signed up but she feels she does not get to do any surveys because of her age lets just say she is in her 70's she claims she has only made around .70 cents in 2 weeks. Can this be a factor? Do companys want someone younger? She does do other survey sites and has for years. I on the other hand, Love this site I'm just trying to help her out. I have given her all the tips I can, any suggestions she wants to quit already.

I think there are other things she can do besides the surveys. The forum, PTC, daily e-mail, daily task etc should keep her busy for an hour everyday. I would say that some surveys probably do count her out because of her age. I know sometimes the surveys I do are looking for my kids opinion.

I think most companies are looking for all age groups.  It seems that most of my disqualifications come after answering the question about kids in the household.

Well reassure her and tell her some random internet chick probably qualifies less for surveys than she does and I'm 29 lol.  It happens.  But let her know that people have gone for weeks getting the so called "shaft" on surveys and then qualify for four one day.  It is just a matter of what the surveyor is looking for.  I lose out on all the home improvement survey's thanks to renting.  So there will be criteria for her that she will get that we will get bumped out of.  Once she fills out all of her personal information (for the $0.50 in FC surveys) she should start getting more surveys directed toward her age bracket.  =)
