Paid Surveys - More Pitfalls
from: Michael RussellWe're going to cover a few more pitfalls of taking paid surveys.
Hopefully, this will keep those of you who are interested in doing this
for a substantial supplement to their income from quitting their day
jobs.
One of the pitfalls with taking paid surveys that people don't realize
is the frequency by which these surveys are offered. A lot of
people think that they just sign up with a site and go into a members
area and start taking surveys from morning until the wee hours of the
evening. While there are some sites that do have a small list of
initial surveys to take and add to them regularly, many sites will only
send you surveys, usually to your email address, when they have
one. With most companies, if you're lucky, it's one survey a
day. Even if that one survey paid $5, which is actually a lot of
money for a paid survey, that only comes out to an extra $150 a month
income. Certainly this is not enough to make a significant
difference to your income.
So what do you do? Well, assuming you can find a number of
companies that will send you at least one survey per day, you're going
to have to sign up with those companies in order to get your income to
where you want it. Let's assume you want to make an extra $2,000
a month. Assuming each company you sign up for will pay you $150
a month for taking surveys, you'd have to sign up with 14 companies to
make this money. This means you'd be taking 14 surveys a
day. This brings us to our next pitfall.
Taking a survey that's going to pay you as much as $5 is not going to
come cheap as far as time is concerned. A $5 survey is going to
take you anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to complete. Let's
for argument sake say that each one takes only 30 minutes. That
comes out to 7 hours for the 14 surveys. That's almost a full
time job. Now, If you're already working a full time job, where
are you going to find another 7 hours out of your day to take 14
surveys? As you can see, this presents a logistical
problem. It just isn't that easy. And this is assuming you
can find 14 companies that offer $5 surveys every day of the week.
Another pitfall of these survey sites is that unless you read the fine
print of your agreement with them, you may be in for a few
surprises. One of the most common of these surprises is the junk
email that you're going to get hammered with. Most of these sites
will have fine print in their agreement that says that you will agree
to receive occasional "offers" from them. The trouble is, those
offers become more than occasional. And if you're a member of a
large number of survey sites, your email box can turn into a virtual
nightmare quicker than you can say "Bob's your Uncle".
If it sounds like paid surveys are not the best way to make money,
they're not. You might want to think of other ways to supplement
your income.
