Annual Earnings!

[cilana86]

So how much did you make in 2015 between all of the panels you registered to? I made $3660.15. I increased my earnings in 2015 by $1543.22 from 2014 which was $2116.93.

Not bad.

I got exactly $1,654.39, but then again, this was my first year, and I ramped up slowly as I saw it could really make some decent extra money - I only started going full tilt around midway through the year (I joined my final batch of sites, and asked the crappy ones from before I knew better, in mid-July, and didn't decide to try mturk, which has been one of the more lucrative since I got around to it, near the end of September). I'll see how next year (well, I guess now it's this year) fares.

$4k or so. Big earner was Swagbucks, then Opinion Outpost, MyView, and a few others. I actually stopped doing sites like OO, MyView, iSay by Ipsos, around 9/1. Guess I was burnt out with their boring surveys and high DQ rate and just concentrated on Swagbucks for the most part. I spent a lot of time on SB every day for the last year.

I think my eyes actually bugged out at those amounts! Wowsa! Congrats to you all! I don't think I even got $200. I don't do it full time and my demos suck, but I am glad someone is making some money at this.

I made a little over $400 by just using Opinion Outpost.

Hi- I earned maybe $600 in 2015. $185 of it was Inbox Dollars for which I received cash, and the rest was in Amazon GC. I have $15 in Inbox Dollars again already, and I have maybe $50 I can cash out right now for Amazon GC on a few other sites including Pinecone. Does anybody here belong to Darwin's Data? Are they accepting members now? It took me at least four tries before Pinecone finally accepted me.

I haven't gotten a Darwin survey in over 2 years. I never got how they dumped people, but it is their business and some of us have moved on from them. I have some sites that I have had for over 3 years and am just now getting into a position to cash out for $25. I won't be returning to them after I do.

IF I were to compute my pay per hour it would be unbelievably low. IF one can and is willing you'd make more from almost any paying part time job. Plus after 2 solid years of doing this I'm bored to tears. Money is always nice though.

You mention that you increased your income from 2014. What did you do to increase it?

Thanks

Dont ask!.... It involves the PC desk, a heavy chain and your ankle.

Same here. I also don't do it full time (I have a life) and estimate that I made about $200 - $225 at best in 2015.

Same here. I've been doing surveys for 10 years now. However, this year was the most time I ever devoted to it. I became seriously dedicated because I had goals to meet this year and needed the supplemental income.

My top 3 money makers this year were Clixsense, Globaltestmarket, and MyView. I am on 13 panels though. I also had a few miscellaneous, short term panels and special projects that I earned a lot from as well.

I devoted more time to it especially to the panels where I received the most surveys. I also dropped 4 panels. If you can believe it, I started in 2005 doing surveys when I was a college student. My first panels were Lightspeed, mysurvey, ACOP. I have been through a lot of trial and error between those times. I remember when I was on as many as 30 panels, but I couldn't devote that much time because I was in school and plus working. At some points it did become overwhelming. I learned who the crappy panels were and have dropped them over time. I am down to 13 panels now that I think are the best for me right now. I may drop more this year as I may accept a promotion if it's offered to me for management. So I will have less time to devote if that happens. Until then, I will continue at the pace I am at.

This was the best year I have had, around $1,700. I also dumped several of the losers. I was lucky enough to get on two communities, which accounts for the increase. Less time involved, no DQs, and much more interesting.
