Since joining a paid survey locating service I have received invitations to take surveys for CASH nearly every day. Along with those I have received a ton of invitations to take surveys in exchange for a chance to win a drawing for a prize.
Naturally I have gravitated toward the surveys paying cash, but have often taken the surveys for prize entries as well. Overall, I have been disappointed with the results of these surveys and entries.
Between my wife, a friend of ours who is an avid survey taker, and I we have taken and documented over five thousand surveys for drawing entries. From those 5000 drawing entries, we have won a combined total of less than $1000 worth of cash and prizes.
Doing some quick math, the conclusion is that we were paid about $.20 each for taking those surveys, and many of them were long and boring surveys. Thus I would rather take a survey for cash almost every time than any chance to win something.
For more information about where to take surveys for cash (and/or chances to win prizes, if that is your cup of tea) check out my list of paid survey sites.
When I got paid on this site, I could hardly believe my eyes. And not just that I got paid but I was being well. Having tried several other work at home ads that make bogus and empty promises with little or no payment. This is the only work at home job that I’ve been paid well. I recommend it.
