Hi all,
Finding time to keep up with a blog is almost as hard as finding time to clean my house many times!! So I am all about saving time doing pointless, time-consuming surveys that lead me nowhere! So, here's my short list of Don't Bother Sites:
•Surf Bounty
•Survey Explosion
•Survey Adventure
•The Survey Doctor
•Snap Dollars
•Survey Club
Now I'm not saying these sites are all scam or you won't ever earn rewards from them. What I am saying is that to me, they are a waste of valuable time.
First, I don't have hours to spend clicking through similar offers for products and services that I don't want or need just to get to the "supposed" end and find out I have to participate in 2 or 6 or 9 offers! But I also don't have time to read carefully every single word in the terms and conditions. Speed readers can probably do it, but I can't. So sometimes I just skim through. If I see any dollar signs, I look more closely, because unless you want to spend earnings on referrals I don't advise upgrading or paying to be allowed to click.
Second, if the small print at the bottom of a terrific offer (like a $1000 gift card or a lap top computer or something)says "Silver, Gold and Platinum" hit the delete. Same with "Top, Prime and anything else like that. What they are telling you is you're going to have to jump through a lot of hoops and probably will get very little for your trouble.
Third, if you should happen to get caught in one of those loops where you have to say yes to at least one offer because it won't let you continue until you do, then just forget it. This is their game and they will ultimately win. If nothng else, you will end up wasting your time and being frustrated.
My preferred strategy is to use the "submit email/zip code sites" that I can complete quickly for 20 or 30 or even 50 cents or more and just keep hopping till I've go a few dollars to move to Pay Pal. It's really cool to suddenly realize that you have $20 or $30 in your Pay Pal account and then you can do some shopping for something you really need, like another pair of Crocs! (I'm suddenly in to Crocs! They have the Rx Cloud which is like heaven, really! So, I guess the whole point today is don't be afraid to bail if you pick a loser - there are plenty of other sites that aren't out to trick you and will tell you straight up what exactly you have to do to qualify for the reward. Now get clicking!!
