Yeah I've talked to tons of people who have tried online surveys and they all say the same thing! I would recommend taking a look at my #1 recommendation here, it'll help educate you to the proper way you can go about earning money online. It isn't a quick easy fix and takes time, but even if you just spent a year working at it, you'd be light years ahead of the 3 years you spent trying to take surveys and getting absolutely nowhere.. you'd probably have a lot more than $50 to show for it too. : )

Hi Wendy. You are right. I wasted the past three years thinking that I would make money online through surveys and I barely made $50. i am going to college now, looking for a job. I wrote a children’s story and 2 advertisements but I do not know how to go about publishing them. I have less than $200 in my bank, which is horrible. Can you help? I want to be on the right path.
Thanks

Yeah I think it’s one of the first things most people think about doing to make money online. It seems easy enough, and I think the majority of people may go in with the assumption it will at least produce some nice part time cash, however the system fails to deliver. Yeah it does seem impossible to get rid of the spam, for me I was basically forced to create a new email account.

I did a post on this too. It was one of the first things I thought of hen I was pondering on making money online. I never got anything but spam too. I have unsubscribed a million times and they must just sell my name to someone else. really sucks. Thanks for the post

Couldn’t agree more, Mike. There’s nothing like having your own piece (or pieces) of real estate on the internet these days. Online surveys waste time and you come out with nothing to show for it.

Total waste of time Wendy and glad you are bringing this to people’s attention. Better that they spend their time creating content that will last forever via a blog/website. It’s also far more rewarding when you see the work you put together appreciated by so many people.

Thanks for sharing.

Yep, I just wanted to be honest about my experience so people know what they’re getting themselves into. Yeah I hear a lot of people say the same thing, it’s a waste of time and money for sure!

Yeah, I just want to make sure people know what they’re getting into with online surveys. I hate to see people go in with false expectations and end up with wasted time and nothing to show for it. You’d actually be better off working a few hours a week at a minimum wage job if it’s just extra cash you’re after.

Thanks for warning folks about these survey scams. I tried this myself and wasting lots of time and made no money!

Those surveys are, in my experience , a colossal waste of time and effort. You`re right, you make far more than minimum wage doing these. Your time is much better spent on building instead of trading your time for pennies.
