Taking Surveys?

[metallicaruler80]

I agree with those who are saying keep the surveys. I know they can be a source of frustration. I can spend hours and not get anything. But I decide how much time I spend and it is my own fault if I spend too much time. I do feel they are a good source of earnings for me. I do try to shop through SR when I do online shopping.

Please keep the surveys. I try not to complain when I do not get credit, because as many have said before, you win some and you lose some. I enjoy this site and am very appreciative for all that I have earned.

Thanks so much.

Please dont take away the surveys it is 90% of my SR iincome
I try to take a GF survey everyday i have the most problem with the AMP ones. but i still keep trying. I think it is just a slow month hopefully it will pick up next month

Please, please, please keep the surveys!!!
The fun (and funds) certainly outway the frustration!
I looked at my "current earnings" and over half of my earnings are from surveys.
I'm definitely more comfortable doing surveys -vs- the freebie offers.
I've been going like a gangbuster all of January on Greenfield and AMP, and am very happy with the results! I won't get the $2.00 bonus this month, alas, but if I keep up this rate with Greenfield and AMP, I'll have a couple hundred dollars for our next Disney trip! Add some shopping and offers like Vista Print, maybe I'll make it all the way up to $300!

Gotta go keep on those surveys!

Thanks for listening!

I just had an idea. Maybe do this in baby steps:
FOR EXAMPLE you get something (contest entry. .01, .05 whatever) for completing a DS everyday for a week, you get something small for completing every AMP for a week, you get something small for completing every SM survey for a week HOWEVER, if you get two of each survey everyday for a week (either DS, AMP or SM) then the reward is a little bigger. This repeats and at the end of the month or whatever time period the reward is greater if you managed to do all DS surveys for the month or all AMP etc..... Does this make any sense?? Maybe there could be a random surprise reward that would pop up every once in awhile such as you just earned .02 for taking a survey today.....I think all of those things would have people logging on and trying to get the rewards Just a thought

One thing that has NOT worked at all is the Second Chance Sweeps. Our number of people trying surveys not only did not increase, it actually decreased when we started this. So I think it is about time to try something new.

I sent out a paid email today to everyone who is subscribed for "freebie" opportunities just to give everyone a little incentive to try the AMP. I also emailed Jill to see what we can do about changing up our landing pages with them and doing something different in terms of promotion. I definitely think sometimes promotions just get stale and people aren't as excited about them anymore.

Truthfully... I forgot about the second chance contest...I only occasionally saw winners mentioned. I was unclear about the contest...was a winner drawn everyday? did I get multiple entries for trying multiple times or was it just one entry a day??

I'm glad you are going to try something new! can't wait to see what you come up with.

I wonder how that could be correlated. Would people just try once and then be happy with the chance to get 90 cents?

Also, were we supposed to enter our info in that thread (that is still going)? Never seemed like it should be, but people are still putting their names in.

I would have liked that second chance thing if I'd ever gotten a bonus .90!

And yayyyy, just got the AMP credit. Cannot believe how much luck has changed with them!

I did them for a while and I never got a second chance bonus. I thought it stopped actually. I hadn't seen any recent ones.

Oh no - keep the surveys! I always at least try for GF - not usually much luck with AMP, but it's nice to have that to try for if I can't get a GF. And, too, I always like the survey incentives! Have to confess, I rarely do the SM survey - not generally enough time to try for all 3. And I don't always shop a lot, or do too many offers anymore - so without surveys, I wouldn't earn much at all!

Please don't take away the surveys!! I would definitely quit if so because surveys are where I make my money. I have only ever received credit for about 2 freebies so I don't bother anymore. Even the GoRV one that everyone got credit for never came for me.
With that being said, the number of surveys that I have completed lately that I don't get credit for seems to be increasing and that is very discouraging. I finished one last week that was for a movie made by a company who also has a popular vacation destination many of us visit. I got the white screen saying that I completed the survey. It never went to the comgratulations screen and I never got credit. I noticed on the forum that others had the same result.This seems to be happening alot more. I can honestly say that i haven't tried a survey since.
Also I agree with the others on the AMP surveys. They ask you same questions over and over and you still never get anything. The 24 hour mark is makes it hard to fit that survey in a busy day.

I have made some nice vacation money here. I really enjoy the site when it all works.
