I always do the paid email, the paid to click and the cheap flights...then check for video's...those net you at least .27 a day...work on posts in the forum to get my 30 a month for that $3.00 credit....and the first surveys I check out are always the FC Surveys....there are typically 3 or 4 listed there and I average one of the 3 or 4 for another $1 or more....and I try for all those in that list because most of them credit you a penny just for trying, even if you don't qualify. After that, if I have time, I go on to either trying all the other daily surveys or the daily tasks....some of them are pretty easy. Even the more difficult one's are not bad after you do them a time or two they get a lot easier and you can move through them more quickly after you get the hang of them. But those all depend on how much time I have free that day or what kind of mood I am in...some days I just don't have the patience to sit and do those.
Twice a week I check the forums for the promotions Kohler does on Tuesday / Wednesday and on the weekend. Those vary from week to week (sports related and non-sport related) so there is a good chance you will get a penny or more from those....even if you just guess and get lucky ---which is what I usually do on the sports promo's and contests).
One thing that helps is to clear your cookies each day before you start. That does increase your chances of getting a survey you will qualify for. Just stick with it and you will see the $'s start adding up. Even the pennies add up faster than you would expect. The longer I stick with FC and the more I do the more I see that I DO qualify more frequently. And, yes, like someone above stated...it seems to run in waves....some weeks there are a lot I qualify for and some weeks not so much. Also, there are often times a new promo that you get paid for just for signing up for a newsletter or creating an account on another site or getting a quote for insurance, etc. etc. Many of those are not actually surveys that you have to qualify for...just participate. Check out the paid to call area too. I have not taken time to do those yet, but I have read a lot of posts from people that have done them and thought they were easy and did get credit.
If you have filled out your profile and done all of those initial profile surveys, that helps you qualify easier if you are new to FC. The more info they have on file for you in your profile helps them to include you in more surveys.
Don't let it frustrate you...just keep at it. You will be glad you did.
