» Kalei50 - Hello - how much time on average?

How much time do you spend per week on these surveys? And may I ask how much you make per week (just a ballpark figure please, but I'll mind my own biz if this is too nosy smile? Are the surveys simply a supplement to your income, or your only income? Thanks for sharing your interest in this subject, I didn't realize how many of these companies were out there.

Nice meeting you...

Hi Kalei50,
Mmmm there are a lot out there, but they don't contact everyone all the time. I still haven't heard from many, many, companies, but the good and active ones make it worth while. I like to write about those in particular.

To answer your questions- I spend a lot of time looking for surveys, writing to the companies & visiting message boards- just to get a feel for if they are worth recommending etc. I'd estimate around 3 hours a day but part of that is maintaining my web site. Taking the surveys themselves only takes a few minutes each day, if that.

Re earnings per week..that is a hard one, as it isn't consistent. I don't want to put what I earn online on the web. As a respondent, though--
Many weeks I make nothing. Last week, I received $75 AU in vouchers and $2 in cash. That was fairly much an exception, though. Absolutely an exception, really. I won $1000 last year, which makes up for the dry weeks..and there are dry weeks, too. I tend to see any money that comes as a bonus, rather than something I expect, as sometimes our demographic groups just won't be sought.
I'm an ESL teacher Kalei50. This is what I do when I get home!
