kyle54935 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Will there be less opportunities for surveys if the economy sours? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawn_b_adams Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 That is a really good question. I’ve been wondering this myself. I would think with more and more people sequestering themselves (myself included) at home, there will be that many more people that discover online surveys. There may be less surveys to go around. I’ve been thinking of trying again to donate plasma. I’ve tried that twice, and both times, they cannot find good veins. I’d make more money with less time. Will have to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliche01 Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Hard to say. Surveys themselves can be created and taken from anywhere. Perhaps as Dawn says, more people will find them. As for the economy affecting rewards, I assume both companies and survey sites have a sort of 'nest egg', but not limitless. I'm guessing you ask this due to the current virus scare? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Njsurveyman Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Yes, I think surveys will continue to be very active on most of the "good sites". This Coronavirus has caused many colleges and universities to close their physical locations, but they will still conduct their research remotely online. I am still seeing many available surveys on Mech Turk, Prolific, and Paidviewpoint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulgro Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 I think the surveys will keep coming like they always do. Might be more research surveys then buying surveys. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosiesmom Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 I've been noticing Swagbucks seems to have quite a few surveys, but they are a penny a minute, if that, in payout. And most of them are those Lucid and Your Survey ones. No thanks!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NevadaJones Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 I hate that Swagbucks is offering so many YourSurvey surveys lately. I do okay with them on Prize Rebel, but I close them out immediately on Swagbucks. There I never qualify and never get the generous DQ penny either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I can get dq'd on 10 in a row, and it routes me back to SB, but no .01 given. I saw some today and they were going to Lucid, so I just x out and go back. I am not doing 19 minutes on a survey for 11 cents. I got into one for 7 minutes and before it even took me into it I was informed it would be 30 minutes for 17 cents. Nope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yobry1 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 I don't know why the media insists on scaring everyone with "recession" so much, like everything is going to be 2008 again for the next couple yrs. It's a MINI recession that will only last a couple months, then everyone will go back to normal spending after this ridiculous "panic" is over(rolleyes). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj07208 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I expected Prolific to be silent since most colleges are down but that doesn't seem to be the case. I'm not getting a lot but obviously there are still people working out there. Like someone said above, since people have just switched to working from home perhaps most things will continue as it. I sure hope so! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawn_b_adams Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 I got about $9 worth of surveys from Prolific today, mostly on COVID-19. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodkapirate Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 I was taking surveys back when the last recession happened, and if anything, I made more money. Of course who knows if it'll be the same way this time around - time will tell. However, just because more people might discover survey-taking doesn't mean that those people will all necessarily fit into the target demos survey companies want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
