Survey taking as a full-time job?
« on: July 16, 2012, 05:13:53 pm »
I read that some people take surveys for a living. As for me, I couldn't imagine taking surveys 40 hours a week. I did try it and it made me not want to take any surveys for a couple months. Has anyone tried this as a job? If so, do you like it?

Unless your demographics is really good most people will run out of surveys for the day, so there is going to be large idle breaks in between. Even if you partner with multiple survey offered sites you will still run into the same situation eventually and you might be liable to disqualify if detected doing the same survey (some have the same surveys between each other). Lastly, a number of surveys can be long and tedious and can get you frustrated if you disqualify alot. If possible you're better off actually looking for at least a part time job and make more money.

I took surveys over the phone for 10 years and really enjoyed the job.  I talked to people across the world and country and made great money.  Of course you have the hang up, the cussing because people thought you were selling something.

I could never see myself taking surveys as a flu lime job. I like the surveys here at FusionCash. As a mater of fact, these are the only surveys I do. I work with lots of sites to earn money online. And FusionCash is one of the best.

I would really be surprised if there was enough money in them for a full time job. But, I guess anything is possible.

Well I have been taking surveys for quite some time but don't need to have money coming in all the time, I do it for fun, otherwise I would never make enough money for a full time job.  I also do mystery shopping, just things I can do when I want, (or not)

I find that I'm not "qualified" for most surveys. I don't need to do this to take place of my full time job, I just use it for extra cash.
I couldn't imagine taking surveys all day long. I just do it a few hours a week...sometimes I just get my daily 17 cents and don't come back until the next day.

Getting a referral that stays with it and makes you money would be the best way to go, but I haven't managed that yet.

That would be a job I fail.  I barely quailfy and I cannot imagine doing surverys all day every day to make the kinda money I make working.   I think i will do this part time and keep my day time job.   :wave:

taking survey just to earn little extra money. Some survey takes forever but only earn one or two dollar, if I am not lucky, I won't even earn anything. I don't know if anyone can taking survey full-time job, and make living??

I dont qualify for most surveys. I may get 3-5 a month from all the sites I do. So I cant imagine coming even close to that. If someone does they need to tell me how they can!

I dont see how that would be possible. It takes quite a few before I even qualify. How do you pay bills with that little amount of income?

I wouldn't. 40 hours a week you'd be soooo underpaid.
