3 days in and more than Php 300 earned!

So, it's my third day answering surveys. And after answering two full surveys that took me around 20 minutes each, and a number of surveys that took me around 5 seconds (yes, five seconds!) to 5 minutes, I have earned a total of P 357 (based on the current exchange rate). That's just around P 100 short of the minimum wage per day. And all I did was spend an hour or so on the internet clicking some buttons. So how did I do it?

 

The key is to join as many survey sites as you can. Currently, I have joined 10 sites. Out of these 10 sites, I have received payments from 6 of them, ranging from a few cents to as much as P 75 per transaction. Read on to find out what experiences I've had in them in my other blog posts (links would be found at the bottom of this post when they are published).

 

Just a few reminders/tips:

1. Earnings would vary per person. You may or may not be qualified for each of their available surveys. It all depends on your profile. For example, on the survey site Apini, I still have not earned a buck until today. However, my sister earned more than $2 on her second day after answering a 20 minute survey.
2. You may have to spend some time answering profilers without receiving anything. Some survey sites would ask you to answer profilers (questionnaires regarding your occupation, education, lifestyle, etc.) to properly match you with their clients. This may take a few minutes to around half an hour depending on the site. Although, there are sites like Spidermetrix which awards you a few points (worth a few cents) for their profilers. That doesn't mean though that you are not obliged to answer all of them to receive surveys. However, you would have a greater chance of receiving surveys if your profile is complete.
3. Surveys do not come instantly. You may receive a survey the minute you join. But there are also instances when you would have to wait a few hours, maybe a few days before you get a chance to answer a survey and earn.
4. Answering surveys cannot replace working. You may earn a few hundreds, thousands even, out of answering surveys. But this doesn't mean that you could quit your day-job. Answering surveys will not be able to support you and your family because it isn't that stable. You may earn P 500 today, and not receive a dime for a week. That said, joining survey sites gives you a chance to earn extra on your free time.
5. Check your email regularly. Survey sites send their notifications to your email. To be able to maximize the surveys sent to you, be sure that you check it at least once a day. Also, I suggest that you create an email account just for survey sites and Paypal account. Or you can utilize the tabs (available in Gmail) if you would like to maintain just one account. This is to easily identify which email is a survey notification.
6. Take note of your passwords. It has been repeatedly suggested by netiquette guidelines that you change your passwords regularly and to avoid using a single password for all of your accounts. So joining numerous survey sites with different passwords could make remembering them a chore. I suggest that you take note of all of these and keep it in a secure place (like a safe/locked journal if you have one, or a very secret folder in your computer/laptop). Also, to make it easier for you to create different passwords, have a go to password that you can change depending on the account. For example: Iam_mE17facebook for Facebook; Iam_mE17Gmail for Gmail, and Iam_mE17yAhoo! for Yahoo.
7. Do not take things too seriously. If you do not get any survey invitation in a day, or within a few days, don't get frustrated. There is still more to come! Maybe today isn't that day, but tomorrow is a new day.
