Paid surveys

[debtfreeme]

How long does it take to get a survey that will pay some money? i have signed up but gotten nothing.

Depends on where you signed up and your demographics. I belong to 4 I think. Some come really fast. . . .some I've never heard from at all. (Pinecone won't even acknowledge my existence. . . .)

[Ima saver]

I haven't heard from any.

[TBH]

I get about one survey a month from Pinecone, and they started coming pretty fast when I signed up. I just got my first trial product from them.

I've only gotten one from Livewire Research Panel. I get a lot from MySurvey.com, but they pay points. It takes several surveys to add up to 1000 points, which equals $10, at which point you can cash out. For a while I was getting about one a month from Brand Institute, too, but they've slowed down. I've only ever gotten one from SurveySavvy and I've been signed up forever. I get a lot from Erewards but they're usually full before I have time to click the link in my email.

Please let me know if you want a referral to MySurvey or SurveySavvy.

LOL - same here.

It really depends upon which sites you signed up with, what info you provided, and what demographics they are looking for. If you go to the site you have joined, see if they have additional surveys, unpaid, that provide them more information to identify you for specific surveys.

My first month signing up, I didn't make any money and received many screening and household surveys. Since updating my profiles, I've been able to make at least $100 a month. Also product testing gives free real-size products. It really depends upon the site.

Pinecone was fast with me-- and also NFO My survey. Although after I cashed out on NFO for the first ime I stopped getting as many invitations to do surveys... Pincecone though: I got my first survey invite a week or two after I joined, and I've probably easily done 10-12 surveys for them since end of November.

I'm guessing Pinecone has certain demographics it's looking for, then.

I LOVE ipsos Isay panel... they have sent me the coolest things to test and paid me quite good!!!!!!!!

[34saving]

They've paid you? From their website it looks like you're entered into drawings the vast majority of the time . . .

[BillsGirl]

you are but they have sent me alot which I have gotten paid for!

[midlight21]

All I ever get are the ones that just give entries into drawings.

Pinecone is slow but steady. I'm thankful for the extra 10 or 20 bux a month, and the occasional free full size trial product.

I'm in the group that gets the "offers" of free things, IF you sign up for something costing $49.95 or so!!! I haven't got this survey thing down pat yet...........still hoping to get the magic email saying I have a survey waiting. I have received a couple, but I'm "not who they are looking for". I do think being older is a negative with these, as I'm not in a catagory retailers are marketing to.

I have been getting some paid e mails to read. It is all about reading advertisements. The problem is, they only pay you about 3 cents to read them, and you can't get a check until you have earned $30 minimum.

If you signed up during "open enrollment" week last fall, you probably didn't make it into their system. Long story, but if email them they can confirm this, or at least let you know that you are in the system.

I reenrolled late December, after find out I was not in the system (signed up in open enrollment), and have been getting around two a month since. Not the highest paying site, but they do always pay.

I agree with BillsGirl. I just wish I made it through the screening process more often to get the actual trials. Any secrets on that one BillsGirl?

There are probably 5 sites I like and pay well, and quite a few that just collect info. Several dump data miners on your system. BOO!

I use to take surveys for cash at universal and I remember when they would qualify me they would bubble as much product activity as they could so i try to use that same advice now to qualify, it works but not ALL the time.

There's another one called instantprofitz i think, i read about it somewhere. i did cash out with $30.90, but they pay you for looking at free offers, or they pay you more (like $15) if you do things like join ebay or get a free credit report. I'm surprised I managed to get the $30 with looking at only free links (I didn't want to give my cc for anything and deal with canceling after the fact).

I just joined Ipsos I Say at someone's recommendation on here-- just did my first survey for them (to be entered for a drawing).
