Count yourself lucky if you qualify for one daily survey on any given day. The sponsors are looking for a very specific set of demographics and interests for their surveys, so you won't qualify for most of them. Still, they can be a steady source of income on FC if you make the effort to attempt to qualify for all of them at least once a day. There are now nine daily surveys (two from FC itself) that you can be credited for once every 24 hrs.

Here are a few guidelines to increase your chances:

Attempt all of the dailies at least once a day, twice if you have the time. Sometimes the second time is the charm.
Clear your cache and cookies before your start each session.
Exhaust all your chances with each sponsor. Never click on "No thanks". Click on 'Try another survey" until you run out of surveys.
If you do successfully complete a survey and reach the 'congrats' screen, keep it open for at least 5-15 minutes or shrink it so you can keep checking your account page in another screen until it credits. Give the automated crediting system a chance to work. While you're waiting, suspend all other activity. Go get a cup of coffee.

This morning I qualified for one of the FC Surveys and the MyView Daily Survey:

MyView Daily Survey - 03/10/2012    2012-03-10    $0.50    Approved
FC Survey: Easy Retirement Planning Survey    2012-03-10    $1.10    Approved

That's an excellent day. My demographics are nothing special. I'm 64 yrs old and working part-time, but I'm also persistent and consistent with these. They've made it possible for me to cash out for 11 straight months (going on 12) so far. You can do it too without it having to take that big a chunk out of your day. I usually spend less than an hour per session, a little more if I actually qualify and get approved for a survey or two like today (but then it's worth it).

Hope that addresses your concerns. Welcome to FC!!

I dont qualify for most of the surveys too.  Luckily there are always new chances. Plus now atleast you get $.01. To me that is better than nothing. Plus it will motivate people to keep trying, cause it was bothering me. So it probably bothers alot of people.
