My bet is it's about $0. So anything higher than that should be appreciated. You can't make a living with surveys. They're just a nice means to some extra income here and there. But if you feel this is a waste of time, this isn't the site for you. But good luck to you. Val,

But it's their company and they make up these stupid rules. lol In terms of qualifiung surveys it really just boils down to demographics. If companies hirining these market research folks aren't interested in your profile they can't very well offer you surveys. So it has little to do with the marketing research firms. It's based on supply and demand. You shouldn't be getting solicition calls after signing up for legitimate companies like pinecone. A lot of time what happens is that after someone reads my articles they go off on their own and just sign up for any survey company out there. But like anything not every company is created the same. That's why it's always good to research these companies before signing up for them. We have our own trusted list but if you venture outside that, do your research otherwise that's when you may experience spamming or telemarketing calls. Mturk can be hit or miss depending on the requester. But for the most part people tend to do well with the company.The fact you earned an additional $2 is testament to that and it's a start. I applaud you for being able to see that. In any event, keep taking action. There are so many ways to make money at home so keep your options broad and you'll continue to succeed. If survey companies don't really care for your demographic, screw them. Move on to another opportunity. That's why we give you a lot of options. Hope this helps. Thanks for sharing. Hi Kitti,

The only thing that\'s been hard is to sign up for pinecone, trying to hunt them down and get accepted is not easy. I wonder what criteria do I have to fit to join. Some of the other survey sites I was accepted quickly and after their profiling survey I haven\'t received any paid survey :( I keep trying though but so far I get a million soliciting phone calls at 2 am.... No $ though. I really liked amazon Turk, but even at survey I get rejected a lot which is weird cause they are based on personal opinions. I thought that was weird... I did about 11 tasks and got accepted for 1 The funny thing is that they were all opinion based... Not something that you can mess up and be rejected for. On the good note I have 2$ more then yesterday. Hi Eddy, just want to say your website has been real helpful to me so far.

I'm really happy that my little site has proven useful to you. But more importantly, I'm happy to hear you're taking action and already making money! Isn't wonderful making money for things you've probably been doing for free for years? lol I really like your idea of taking the money you make from all these opportunities and re-investing them in a cd or ira. That's a great way to leverage your efforts and re-investing the money you've made. I might have to write a post about that and give you a shout out! In any event, thanks again for the kind words. I really appreciate your support. Jason,

I stumbled across your site and it's been VERY helpful! I signed up at a good handful of sites that you recommended and have collectively made over $10...for basically doing nothing. I know I can't collect (yet) but it is a step in the right direction. I figure what I would do is at the end of the year...take all of my income from doing surveys and other things, and put them in some sort of CD or IRA to gain interest. Hey, it was free money, might as well make the money work for me. But anyways, thanks for the reviews, blogs, etc and might I mention...the timely responses. @Eddy: Thanks for the feedback and voicing concerns about signing up at any ol’ site.

However, let me say this. Be mindful not every survey company is trustworthy. Always do your research. Don't just willy nilly join every survey company out there. We've listed our favorites here: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2007/12/13/top-5-paid-online-survey-websites/ The other thing to keep in mind is that certain demographics are more desirable than others at certain times. And quite honestly there are just certain demographics that aren't really favored at all. So don't take it personal if you learn that you're not in demand. We've provided you other ways to make money here: www.workathomenoscams.com/recommendations Surveys aren't really something that can truly supplement income but it's just nice money to get on occasion. The only way I've managed to make consistent money with surveys that can actually supplement my income is by referring others to legitimate survey companies which I've covered in videos in the following articles: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/03/10/if-you-dont-work-for-this-company-youll-kick-yourself-later/ http://www.workathomenoscams.com/affiliatemarketing So that may be an option for you as well. At the end of the day, just keep in mind you have a lot of options in addition to surveys. So as long as you take advantage of many of them, you can definitely supplement your income then. Hope this helps. Jason,

They said that I'd get an email in a few days if I was qualified to join. So I'm crossing my fingers. But hey, 2 surveys a month at $3 a piece is still $6 more dollars than I had before. I'm going to sign up for all the paid survey sites and see how much I can supplement my income. I had no problems on signing up for pincone research.
