I went to clean up my emails and I kept all of the emails and cashout info from 2014 up to now. I was amazed that I had so many survey cash outs in 2014 and 2015. They weren't for a ton of money, some were $1, some $5, but I was cashing out quite a bit. Fast forward to 2018 and 2019 and they had dropped off dramatically. What I did seem to have more and more emails for, were questions about why I didn't get credit for completing surveys, trying to cash out and couldn't, etc. I saw emails from companies that are long gone now, and some that are still around, but not worth even mentioning. Wow! is all I can say.

My biggest problem over the past several months is the fact that I am getting ripped off more than ever before. More than 10% of all completed surveys by me now lead to a disqualification or non-payment (or that token penny). That only tempts me to cheat on more surveys (like doing a survey you already did for another site). I'd rather not do that, but these companies need to take more responsibility for whatever happens when they sponsor surveys from other sources. Don't waste a person's time. That said, people should always expect holidays and weekends to be slower, and strategize around that.

I generally do around 320 to 340 a month but in November and December I had a part time seasonal job at a store so I didn't spend as much time on it. In December I was in the neighborhood of 180 to 200. I haven't as yet tallied it up. Here is a hint to help you keep track, keep a running total of how many surveys you completed and how much they paid. At the end of the day write the amount on a wall calendar . I am looking at 2019's calendar and all 365 days have an amount written it. It is quite impressive to see. It is a good way to keep track of your hard work. (and it is hard work)

Wowsa, can't say I keep any survey e-mails or cash outs unless they are still pending. Guess the main thing I've noticed over the years are the type of rewards, or simply less points / cash per survey. I've never had a problem cashing out, but have had my share of questions as to why I took all or most of a survey and got no credit. But yeah, think it's safe to say the times they are a changing.

My demographics have changed since I began doing surveys, my daughter is now an adult, I am older, I don't make the same money, I don't do the same type of work, my vehicle has changed, you get the picture. The companies are always looking for something different. I don't make anywhere near what some of these folks do. I am lucky if I get $25 a month, because most of the time it isn't even that much. You can sign into and try a few sites and keep what find works for you.

It's a rich tapestry. Everyone posting here is right. You just have to develop your own preferences and needs. Some survey sites are better at some things than others (overall survey pay, disqualification points, bonuses, waiting time for pay, payout choices, etc.) Start with the basics, then work your way out from there. I started surveys a few years ago as a replacement for my old online hobby - sweeps (I still enter sweeps with large prizes). I regularly make $200-$300 per month (mostly paypal cash, or gift cards to Home Depot or Amazon). This hobby can be a nice income hedge for some people. I install tile in people's homes for a primary living, but often sit at home for days due to delays, cancellations or problems. Doesn't make up for the loss, totally, but those Home Depot gift cards are invaluable when I need some materials for my next job.
