I've approached one survey site recently, and now we get a small incentive for our time in answering questions for surveys when we don't qualify for the full reward.
I think our Clixsense should really consider putting this system into place here as every cent counts for most of us! And it's our time and effort, too!

The site is giving to members 1 cent if you don't qualify but the surveys pay less
So for exemple if you're disqualified 5 times you get 0.05$ but if you complete a survey you get paid $0.50 instead $0.80

I always hope I get paid for the surveys I complete that in itself will be an incentive

As Clixsense don't really vet their surveys (they trust the providers to do that for you, it gives more surveys, but it's riskier), it's not really possible. Too many duplicates and other issues.

Other sites manually vet their surveys, so they can trust that x% will qualify, so they can afford to pay the DQ pay.

There's also the fact that DQ pay makes the survey pay lower for everyone. There are two sites I am a member with that pay $0.05 per DQ, but their pay is terrible (one pays $0.66 for 30 minute survey, and the other pays less than Clixsense even though it is literally the Sample Cube direct panel!)

The cost of advertising (and the cost of living) go up every fiscal year, and yet we still get paid the same for many years. I don't want to lose Clixsense, but I strongly feel that we could get just even a cent from the Surveyors for at least attempting a questionnaire. Sometimes it takes up to five long minutes before one is disqualified! We can all agree that TIME IS MONEY. We don't ask much for our time, do we?

I seriously doubt your logic since your a member since 2012 and it seems you hardly put any effort in it to begin with.

I am mentally ill and unable to have the concentration required to do the tasks. heaven knows I'd love to. I only am sure of a disability grant each month. I tried tasks but got awful headaches. as I'm not the norm that survey sites look for I don't get to qualify for many. I hope that clears things up. if you have any more questions please write back. I'm happy to communicate.

Okay, let's say you get three surveys a day on average.

There are 7.8 million Clixsense members, and they each get 1 cent if they don't qualify.

Where do you find this extra one million six hundred and thirty eight thousand dollars every week?

It is about time that we get paid for our efforts and the time we spend trying to complete surveys.!!! I hope this will happen soon.!!!!
Doing surveys and get disqualified when you are almost done , it is not fair. It is discouraging.!!! :thumbup:

If more of these rascal survey companies were even a little more honest then this post would not have been made .
Too many of them get you all the way through and when they should be saying " Finished" and " you have been credited ";; instead they suddenly say { sorry you are disqualified } or you didn't meet the qualifications for this survey .
They had that info right at the beginning .
It is bad enough that a 'hub' says " you are qualified " and the actual survey company says " you didn't meet the qualifications "; but at least it was only a couple of clicks.. 8-) 8-)

The creators of the survey have to foot the bill. They have very many ways already to know whether a person may be eligible for a survey. F'instance, those who have no vehicle, mark it as such in their profile. The profilers have their work cut out for them. It has worked like that for ages. So, the Surveyors have to up their game. Add up at least one minute per person who takes a survey a day.

Time and energy. My time is precious to me. And sometimes, slow loading surveys take up much more than a minute!

This is not just for Clixsense, but for all around the WWW to realise that people are taking the 'work from home'/'extra pocket money'/etc., sites very seriously and would love for an increase, and it doesn't matter what it is, it is still half a loaf is better than none.

The advertising world is worth billions, and each Company which wishes to have a survey done in order to boost their profits, has a set budget, and if they choose surveys, they always have a set amount of people they wish to hear from. So they budget for 100, let's say, but they only need 50 opinions. When the survey is done, it's done. Survey sites have been doing this for years and are quite qualified enough to take this request of mine to their boards and intelligent enough to understand that it's not unreasonable, and work out a plan.

I'm open to any communications, but the best communications are to be given to those in charge of the various Companies who send out the surveys. They always have a plan and are quite capable of working out something so that, when one has spent time opening up a survey, filling in all sorts of details (that they probably still use, anyways), and then disqualify one, there is still the reward of a token of appreciation for being honest and sincere and willing to be their 'subject'.

Perhaps all t hose in favour and who have expressed themselves, may help us to make a change for the better for the casuals who are trying to make a difference by being the voice of reason in a world where 1c can make the difference between cashing out today or only cashing out tomorrow....

It's ain't broke, so don't try to fix it. If you don't like surveys, do something else.

Couple of days ago I completed a survey for 0.13$,History &Support still shows completed survey company will review and decide after a month,I have already donated it,survey companys are minting money,this is the wrong place to suggest anything,just open support and try to sell them this idea of paying a cent for trying out a survey even if you get disqualified I am shure they will have a hearty laugh.

Seems the way to go, but, alas, I've tried that already last year, and to no avail. Ah, well, at least the poll shows the true state of majority. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Anyways, I won't close the poll in defeat, though, because one site I approached was more than happy to reward us for our time even when we got disqualified. Maybe Clixsense will ask their Survey Providers to take this poll into account and see if they can make a plan. I don't give up, no matter what. I know that there are people like me out there, and although we're heard, sometimes we are disregarded because we don't fit into their agenda or time or consideration. Anyways, I get disheartened by some of the comments, so I'm just going to leave this like this. I am so glad for those who have voted in the positive for a change and a big THANK YOU to you all. For those who don't understand, and think that the Advertising and Marketing World cannot afford to do this and will take away a cent or so from their earnings, well, I'm at a loss for words...

Did you even read this post?

Or do you think money grows on trees?

I don't mind even with the downside of the completed surveys paying for less than the usual, I would still agree with this idea
