Im boycotting survey and questionnaires

Anyone else want to hop on this train with me. I believe these surveys and opinion polls don't pay me enough to participate. I believe that MY opinion is worth more than most, and as a result am cancelling every survey I see.

What would happen if everyone else did the same? Would there be a market shift? Would they, the polls, in turn start paying more? Lets see where this goes....

Share your thoughts, keep it clean. THIS IS HYPOTHETICAL.

If everybody stopped doing surveys for money, we'd just go back to the olden days when you do surveys for free because a pretty girl stopped you in the street, and said "Excuse me, I'm not trying to sell you anything..."

Take them all! This garbage isn't worth my time! I'm a master electrician, this is my IRA so to speak. These PTC are a longterm investment that I'm strategically putting time into. No time of mine is getting dedicated to these surveys

Every extra $1 doing surveys is $1 more then you would have had you of not done anything. Personally I prefer making my extra cash doing surveys. The money is something I can use, to buy food, dog food, and T.paper.

Read OP. That is why i posted, I'm not here to be salty. I'm only trying to inspire a change of the way of thinking. These PTC sites, FOR ME, have only been to view ads. Again, I find that the surveys are a complete waste of time. I think we are looking at it all wrong as a collective.

The companies are falling short on incentives FOR ME as a consumer/earner to participate in them. Trust me when i say, I know I will be very profitable using my method in which to make money from these sites. I DO NOT rely only the extra income from these surveys to become profitable. I only joined clixsense for the added daily ads i would be viewing. Hence, I'm just putting this IDEA out there.... take it or leave it.... just think about it.

I don't need this extra cash to make these PTC profitable. My ROI is most profitable from my actual job. I cannot bring myself to earn pennies an hour after making $75 + at my job. These sites are scamming people into working for them for pennies. YOUR OPINION IS WORTH MORE! thats what i say anyway.

So in short, if your only source of income is these survey's, its doubtful that you will have any choice but to submit to this nonsense. However, if you have a choice, like me. I choose to vote with my $$$

You can just x out of the surveys if they pay too low. If the survey does not get enough respondents they will increase the pay. I did an Ipsos survey for $1.48, and then over the last 2 days, I've seen it been given back to me (leading to insta duplicate DQ) at $2.20, and now $4.41.

(and if you're wondering, while this survey's pay was being increased here, on Ipsos direct panel, the pay was at a constant $0.33!!!)

thesmiths88, you are master electrician ???

what are you doing here ? you are super rich , master electricians in Canada and rest of western world earn up to 50.00 per hour or more

Here the best you can earn is 3 dollar for 8 hours
this job is not for you

My advice for you . do not waste time here, it is not for people like you , take a normal job and earn 50 000 a year or come to Australia , master electricians earn up to 500 000 a year , yes half million a year

In short , what are you doing here

IRA equivalent. I am informed of a long term time investment using these PTC sites. Strategy is my method. I'm looking at exponential growth of ROI from this method. In turn only requires me to click a few ads per day. No survey's needed.

I like this! So in short, if i keep canceling these surveys they will just go up and up and up! This was extremely helpful! thank you! I will keep canceling these and sending them up the ladder!

Still can not understand . person like you who can earn up to half million a year coming here?
Since you started this topic you lost 100s if not 1000s dollar

How much you think you can earn here with your strategy ? 1 million .? 2 million a yer here ? 5 million ?

Wake up dear friend , clik few sticky ads and do 30 cent survey today ,you still have a chance to earn 40 cent today , 40 glorius cent

i think you all are missing is point. he likes to open the webpage, click on what pays instantly, then go.

little next to no time involved. with surveys you need to click on what 10-20 to be paid once? spend a few hours doing that?

think of it like a apple tree, he walks up grabs fruit hanging within his arms reach and goes home happy. the rest of you are looking for a ladder, to reach the top most fruit which you might just never reach.

Great analogy. This sums it up quite nicely. Well done. I would go so far as to say, they hide the ladders too.

And to add I might say, get enough people together, WE CAN SHAKE THE DAMN TREE.

nah even that type of surveys would still get you money and most likely pay more than getting paid surveys in the internet but those types of "old school surveys" are very rare nowadays

to the post author I don't know if you could convince enough people to stop answering surveys from this companies well enough to force them to increase the payouts of their surveys but I do agree that they should increase what they give us every survey we answered since not all of us can fit their qualifications on certain surveys

Almost all the money I've made in Clixsense has been made in surveys. The money does add up but it doesn't take the place of a day job.

If one stop doing a survey for 1.00 another 100 will still try to do

If pay go to 50 cent still millions will do it

If it go to 25 cent stlll millions will do it

If it go under 10 cent still millions will do it

And millions still do it for 2-4 cent


We can not and will never win . wake up folks

Do it or walk away
