How I wasted my time this week: Surveys
Hours of work for bullshit pay.
Recently I have found myself to be constantly worried about money. Between paying for school, rent, groceries, gas, and other typical living expenses, I keep finding myself with less than I’d like.
I spent a few days googling “How to make more money from home” and “quick ways to make extra money”. If you have ever done this, you know that “surveys” is an answer on all money advice videos and blogs.
I finally decided to try it for myself, and I was extremely disappointed.
Here are the four survey apps I primarily focused on. I know there are other apps, but these came up in my searches as having the best ratings and highest likelihood to pay out. There were even a few other apps I tried but couldn’t get the surveys to load so I gave up on those.
I downloaded the apps after hours of research, spend the time it took to create accounts, and find surveys that I could actually complete, and this is all I have to show for it.
The goal: Earn $5 a day by spending 1–2 hours on surveys.
The result: I earned $16.41 dollars in 4 days.
The amount of time I spent on surveys: 8 hours.
