I’m pleased to announce that this past Saturday marked the end of my one month online survey experiment. Between August 19th and September 19th, exactly 50 surveys showed up in my inbox. I attempted all but two surveys within 24 hours of receipt. The other two were started within 36 hours. I have done my best to complete all surveys honestly, accurate and in a timely matter in order to provide meaningful results to myself and readers of this blog.
I did earn some money, although it’s all banked in the three survey panel accounts. I have requested payment from each account today, so start the clocks, and we’ll see how quickly the payments arrive from each panel.
Over the next little while I’m going to perform some analysis on all the notes I took during the month of online surveys. I’ll then post the results here in a series of posts. I’m going to provide as much information as I can about these three survey panels as well as online surveys in general. By the time I’m finished, we’ll know if there’s value in taking surveys and the pros and cons for each the three panels. I expect there will be a clear winner between them, so that will be announced as well. I’ll see if I can spot any patterns that can be translated into a method of survey selection to maximize potential earnings while minimizing time spent.
I hope you find the results valuable, and if nothing else we’ll know once and for all just how profitable it is to take online surveys. Even if it turns out to have been a waste of time, I should have a couple bucks to invest into the next alternative income experiment.
