Are online surveys a good way to make money?

I haven’t tried them, but I have heard from friends that they pay very little when compared to the amount of time they take. I believe your time would earn you more money in a base-paying job elsewhere while you look for your next job. Good luck with whichever route you choose!

I would advise against this. I have done my share of surveys and it really does pay close to nothing. Free time is one thing, but patience is entirely different. I’m quite fast with surveys (considering I will bubble randomly) but it took me some time to even reach 2 dollars. I thought I might as well walk around and panhandle if that was the return I got.

If you really need some quick cents, then go ahead and do the surveys but I would not rely on this method for a decent pay whatsoever. It would probably be best to take the time and just go job hunting and enjoy the free time you have right now.

My brother does surveys. I think you only get a dollar for a very tedious 15 minute survey though. He got about $50 but I wonder if it was worth his time, unless he actually enjoyed them!

I’ve always been leery about stuff like this. If you really do have a lot of free time, you’d make much better money shovelling driveways for old folks or doing odd jobs for people.

I am a member of two or three online survey sites and I am just about to receive a cheque for £50 from one of them. It’s never going to make me millions but £50 is quite awesome. I’ll agree with what others have said though, these surveys tend to be very tedious indeed and quite often I will give up on a survey half way through because it is boring me.

Well this is dissapointing. Are there any sort on on-line things I can do? Everyone around here has snowblowers, and the weather is gonna be in the -30’s or so for a couple weeks. I just need $40 or so, to buy skype credit and the game minecraft.

@carrielynn Can they send the [ayment to paypal?

I don’t guess they use paypal. I just have my payment sent directly to my bank account.

Damn, you need to be over 18 :( only 17
