Being more survey selective
I've decided that I'm not doing all those surveys that pay less than 20 bucks... Most of them disqualify me after I answer 30 or 40 questions anyway.

Online Surveys
I haven't posted anything on here for some time because I've been trying to make a little extra money doing online surveys. For over a month now I've been signing up for virtually every survey site I come across and have found most of them to be ... well.. I think someone should create a survey about survey sites.
There are so many sites out there that make promises and once you sign on to them all you get is a mailbox filled with emails offering 50 cents to 2 bucks for surveys that take up to 40 minutes to complete... and then just as you think your about done with it suddenly it jumps to a screen that informs you that you've been disqualified because they've already received all the responses that you've been giving. What's up with that? I think they got their survey performed for them for free is what I think. Rather than giving you credit for taking the survey they have a trigger in the system that automatically shuts you down so they get paid but don't have to pay you anything.
I have linked up with a few professional market research sites that sends you a direct link to do surveys. I've even received actual checks from these sites. I've still not been offered 50 bucks to take a survey from anyone... which is what most of them advertise on their sites.. "You will have the opportunity to take surveys that will pay anywhere from 2.00 up to 75.00." It wouldn't take many of those high dollar ones to make one think they could actually make some money at this.
The truth of the matter is... I've accumulated more money "on account" with the survey sites that simply ask you to read their emails. Of course most of them still link you to sites that have something to sell.. but at least they're not telling you that they'll pay you 11.00 bucks to sign up for a service for 9.95 a month fee. I don't believe I should have to pay anyone to take a survey.
If there is anyone out there reading any of my blogs I would appreciate some feedback on this one. If you beat this system and found a way past all the sites that simply pass you back and forth so they can get paid for all the links you click on I'd like to know that it's possible.
