 I have read many posts from this and other forums of many, many people who make decent money from surveys and research groups.  I signed up with 60!!!!  And can't see how I will ever make the [u]minimum[/u] to cash out of any of them. I never seem to qualify for anything, and the few that I did were for measly dollars that I can't get until I build up to $25 - $50! UGH!!! Any tips or ideas?  (although, I thought I read them all).

 I think there are more moms that do surveys over at the wahm.com forum - you might want to check there??

 Hi,
 
 I do not recommend any survey sites!
 
 Reasons
 
 1. A lot of Spam mails you have to manage
 
 2. Hard to complete survey( Frequently Disqualified )
 
 3. $1 per survey is what mostly you can expect
 
 4. No one is making decent money with survey sites!
 
 
 My solution is Stay away from survey site!
 
 Only way you can make decent money from Online is
 
 either Affiliate marketing or Paid to Click ads  sites.
 
 
 Good luck to your business
 
 Happy day~^^

 Now really, you can't say any of the above reasons on any "absolute" level.  I make good money on surveys and don't get any spam whatsoever.  I won't do surveys for less than $1 most of the time...yet I still make $875 in the month of May alone.  And no, none of that was from referral income (I made $47 in referrals in May, but that isn't included in the $875).  I guess it depends on what you call "decent" money, but I feel like that is decent for what I do.
 
 It takes patience (and some luck and good demographics).  How long have you been at this?

 Honestly, I would recommend that you not waste your time anymore.  A few years ago, I spent hours and hours and hours signing up with paid surveys companies, and only earned $5...

 Also, the survey route is vey routine and boring in my opinion.  Find something you are passionate about and the hours at the computer just fly by.  Its a lot to learn and I mean a lot, but I think its going to be worth it.  Its like going back to college almost.

 Whilst I have not earned anywhere near the vast amounts of money some people claim to have made from surveys I have found them a useful source of income. Most surveys only take 5 to 10 minutes to complete and I tend to do these during my lunch break when I'm sitting at my desk surfing the net anyway.
 
 If you join several different survey sites (do not pay as there are lots of decent free to join ones) then you should be able to find some surveys who will pay you some cash although it can take time it is worth it in the end.
