Online Surveys for Cash: Worth It?

I was generating $5,000 a month at home!

I am the "if it's too good to be true, it probably is" type so I would say it's either bullshite or there is a lot of bullshite involved.. But I am curious to see if anyone has done this.

What if I gave them the number to the local weather call-In line?

Did it in college. You can earn a dollar or 2 an hour. They will sell your info and you'll get a million calls trying to sell you things for months. Not worth it.

You gave them your real info?

Honestly I do it and I made maybe 100 bucks last year doing it, I do not qualify for most of them and receive like 10-25 cents

Anyone try making some side cash through online surveys?

Or is this a complete waste of time/effort?

I have done so many thru mTurk.com (part of Amazon.com).

BUT the big difference is that these surveys are usually for people to get info to use in thesis writing, academics, data and research.

Your identity is anonymous on these, you are paid thru amazon. (Just a few dollars a survey, some with a followup for more money).

If they attempt to get your real identifying info, ask you to sign up for anything or any of that BS and they get kicked off the site.

You don't get a huge lot of money but I found the surveys to be interesting to do.

I used to do some for pinecone research many years ago, not sure if they are still around. I would get $5 for a survey but I could never really get a whole lot of surveys to do. It wouldn't make you a lot of money but $5 for about 5 mins of work when I'm already going to be on the computer wasn't bad at the time.

Just wait til Nielsen sends you that envelope with those 5 crisp arse dollar bills.

It’s easy cash, but you will have to answer a ton of surveys to get a real amount of cash.
