Earn money by filling out surveys! My real experience

Abstract generation in progress

I have been trying those famous survey sites that supposedly make you rich from home for months... and I'm going to tell you the harsh truth. You can't even imagine how much time I've wasted for a few miserable cents!

Surveytime promises $1 for a completed survey, but what they don't tell you is that for every survey you qualify for, there are 20 that reject you after wasting 5 minutes answering filter questions. What a rip-off!

Swagbucks is another story. Yes, it has 20 million users, but do you know how much the majority earn? Pennies. I spent an entire week dedicating 2 hours a day and barely reached $15. Do the math: a little over $1 per hour!

What annoys me the most is how these platforms sell themselves. They tell you that you can earn between $10 and $50 per hour... LIE! Unless you are a statistical unicorn who qualifies for all the premium surveys that just happen to always be "full" (.

And let's not talk about gift cards. They make you wait weeks to receive a card for ) that you can only use in specific stores with absurd minimum purchase requirements.

MOBROG seemed especially frustrating to me. They send you constant notifications of "new surveys available" but when you click in, surprise: "Sorry, no spots available anymore." Seriously? In the 3 seconds it took me to click?

The last straw was when I spent 25 minutes on a Lifepoints survey about consumption habits and in the end they told me: "Sorry, your answers do not match the desired profile." And not a penny for my time.

My advice? Value your time. If your goal is to make money online, there are a thousand better ways than these surveys. Learn a digital skill, offer freelance services, or invest that time in training. Because, let's be honest, these platforms are designed to enrich market research companies, not you.

And if you still want to try, do it without expectations. Maybe you'll get a few dollars for a coffee, but not enough to pay the rent. Don't fall into the trap of those clickbait titles that promise to make you rich from the couch!
