    probably a ridiculous question (surveys)

    does anyone actually participate in any of those survey-taking websites? you know, the ones that claim to give you money or free shit for taking surveys.

    i'm sure 99.9% of them, at the very least, are scams.

    but, on the off chance that there's anything worthwhile to be gained from any of them, i figured i'd ask.

    No but I take free surveys if it's anything I remotely care about. I want Pizza Hut to know my topping preferences. I want Electronic Arts to know that I never shop at Best Buy and to team up with Circuit City to offer deals instead. Just a little way to get the world to cater to me I suppose.

    i remember a thread about it a while back, you might want to try a search, but i cant imagine you could make that much a month doing it. youd be better off selling your art or cam work or something one night a week.

    There are some that offer to pay you....... but you have to pay them first to sign up.

    The ones that offer draws are generally legit.

    I worked in market research for 4 years.

    i wasn't asking because i thought i could make any sort of job-like money. i just meant a little here and there, when i'm bored and not doing anything anyway.

    and i do sell my art, but that tends to be random and there can be months in between sales. when school starts back up i'll be getting into more galleries and that should help, since i've found i sell way better in galleries than online.

    I do surveys for Pinecone, they pay $5 per survey the day after you complete it via paypal. They usually email me a new survey 1x/week, so it's not a way to become rich, but it is easy. Plus, I'm always on the computer, and it only takes ~15 minutes to complete. If you have questions, you can PM me

    I used to do it a long time ago. I made $2 whole dollars! And that was after hours and hours of surveys.

    Now I participate in surveys that I want my opinion to be known. Not for $ though.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    Enh, I just do random LJ quizzes when I'm bored, like ones that ask you to name your best friends and what colors they represent and stuff. Far better than chasing down a couple bucks!

    OKCupid quizzes are fun too.

    I did get a freeipod (dot com) back in the day...
