Survey Summary – July

I thought that I would keep track of the surveys that I’ve done this month to help you get an idea of what to expect when you join a survey company.

I tried a new company – Survey Head (get $5 for joining) and did more surveys for another company I hadn’t done much with before – HCD Surveys.

I have been a member of each of the companies listed for at least 6 months, and I only join survey companies where I earn money or points that can convert to money or gift cards. I don’t feel like it’s worth my time just to get an entry in a drawing.

For the surveys attempted, but not qualified for, it usually only took a minute or so to find out I was not qualified. As you can see, I get more surveys from some companies than others.
