Very Unrealistic Survey
« on: April 10, 2018, 03:51:32 pm »
I was on another site and clicked on a survey. They were looking for persons who had incomes of over $100,000 to take a survey paying about 35 cents. How many people are there on these sites who make over $100,000 a year to begin with and, if there are, I suspect they are not eager to take a survey paying about 35 cents.

I had surveys like that before where minimum income was like $100,000 per year or more. It's very unusual that I get surveys like this.

You're right. Why would someone earning $100 grand a year do 35 cents surveys?

I am guessing if your income is over 100,000/year, you are not earning that from doing surveys and other online tasks and they are probably too busy to spend their time earning a few cents at a time.  But who knows?

Another time, I clicked on a survey where they were looking for respondents who were CEO's or Presidents of companies. It was a relatively low paying survey. I remember thinking that probably CEO's or Presidents of companies are going to be too busy to spend time completing a low paying survey.

Yeah, I often wonder how surveys expect to get responses from those demographics.

Yeah, I agree. Their expectations are unrealistic sometimes.
