Survey Summary – November

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 was VERY busy this month with my blog, so I did not do many surveys at all…but here’s what I did do. You can still earn money, even when you spend very little time doing them.

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.
