So I am looking for a side hustle to get an extra income and came across those surveys online. Do those actually pay?

I am trying to move out soon and buy a car. I am working at a pretty low-paying job for my circumstance. I came across those surveys online that claim to pay money. Before I think about taking it, do they actually pay?

There are ones, which do pay, but the amount is sooooo low you won't be able to afford anything special, Maybe 40bucks per year, or even worse, they randomly pick a winner for an amazon gift card, so you maybe get nothing depending on your luck.

They do. But you have to grind. Some of them I did were very particular. I did lots of them to get and after a while, I was able to get $20 or $50. If you're willing to do that, go ahead.

I think really a job would be better.

I don't know about the surveys anymore lol. I have a job and work part-time but 40 hours a week except for this week because I have 31. But each check is like decent but if I go directly off that it'll take me forever to get where I want.

[Asker]

So how many did you do on the estimate to get $20-$50?

[JakeS00]

I did 7 day dairies that that would have you write down what you ate, drank, etc., normal surveys about technology, entertainment, and so much more. Even a few surveys before certain stuff came out to the public. To get $20 for doing surveys it took maybe 2,500 points and for $50 8,000 points, I think. It was a lot of sitting and focusing. Mind you, some surveys had points that were 100 points or more. It also depended upon if you would qualify for one.

Not really. You'd probably be better off doing yard work or something.

[Asker]

ahh ok, thanks I don't want to get scammed you know so I was a bit suspicious about it. But, I'm looking for a new job right now and just trying to get independent and on my own asap

[ArtemisSilver]

Go to yard sales and stuff, look for deals and resell them on Facebook marketplace. Worked pretty good for me last fall selling my old junk.

Yeah, they do but you're going to have to work for it. And then it's only pin money
