To get paid for trying but be like a business that gets profits when no customers come in.
It is frustrating to work at it and get no where, but it is part of the set-up here. FC cannot determine how well we will do at a survey or other links.
They just offer them up. So many folks do better on here than me. I am a 74 year old woman, with an old car, no smart phone, no kids living at home, no funds invested. I am on Medicare, with no supplemental insurance.
It is hard for me to get surveys that work for me. However, always glad I stuck with it when payout gets here, like this month.
The Forum Bonus helps a ton.

I agree. I'm not quite old enough for medicare yet but getting there soon. My husband doesn't seem to be able to keep a job for very long and lost a decent one a couple of years ago and is making $5 an hour LESS than he was and no benefits at this job. No insurance or anything. And, I have medical issues so we're always drowning in debt. I do this for some extra money. It really doesn't help a whole lot in the grand scheme of things. It's just a drop in the bucket but it does let me get a few things I want or I can put it towards a place ticket to visit kids and grandkids. He also does Uber part time to supplement our income.
I also do other GPT sites. It isn't much but, it feels like I'm doing "something" to help.
