Getting paid to take surveys online is one of the easiest ways to make a couple extra bucks a month, but the thing is, do you have what it takes to do them? The biggest perk about surveys can also be the biggest drawback - Surveys can be very simple to complete, however; some people do not have the patience to do them because they do not require anything more than reading a question and answering it, over and over and over.
So how do you know if you're ready for surveys or really, how do you know if you're not? Read on to find out: 1) You Get Bored Easily If you can't sit for extended periods of time or find yourself needing to switch up your activities every 5 minutes, surveys might not be for you.
Surveys can take anywhere from 10-45 minutes, sometimes longer! Surveys are also generally question after question with several options to choose from.
Reading text with minimal visuals or audio can seem boring to some.
2) You Can't Focus For An Extended Period Of TimeSurveys do require looking at the computer screen for extended periods of time.
If you have trouble focusing and reading text on the computer screen already, surveys might not be a good option for you to step into.
3) You Don't Enjoy Using E-Mail This may sound stupid, but there are people out there who flat-out do not like to use e-mail.
Why? They get tired of the constant spam or feel overwhelmed when they open up their e-mail in the morning and have to sift through 100 e-mails, only to find out that they only need 2 of them.
Survey companies send out many survey invitations directly to your inbox.
If you don't like sifting through e-mails, surveys may not be for you.
4) You Already Work For An Advertising Agency Or Marketing CompanyMany surveys online will ask you if you work for any of the above.
If you do, you generally do not qualify for a survey.
Working for any of the above will pretty much disqualify you from any and all surveys.
