Ironic Survey Rewards

I am now a proud member of 6 survey websites. Of those 6 sites, one of them, Irish Media Survey, is a survey panel that does not offer payment for filling in their surveys but they send me an email every day inviting me to share my opinions on TV and Radio programmes. In exchange for doing this, they enter me in a monthly draw to win vouchers.

Each month, one participant wins €1000 and about 100 other participants win €5. Well, I am usually unlucky when it comes to draws, but last Thursday I did win €5 in the November draw. So far, I have earned 190 points with Global Test Market (I must earn a minimum of 1000 points to qualify for a prize) and €3 with Irish Opinions (I don't qualify for a reward yet). I think it is a bit ironic that my first survey reward is coming from them, given the fact that Irish Media Survey is the only non-paying survey website I have signed up with.

I will keep answering the surveys everyday for Irish Media Survey ; even though I thought I had lost the link for the last few days, I only realised today that their last emails were sent to my Bulk folder so I corrected this and now I am hoping to get a €1000 prize someday. It is cheaper than the Lotto!

Making Money Completing Surveys

You will not get rich quick by filling out surveys but here is one way to ensure that you get selected for completing a few surveys:

I joined Global Test Market almost a year ago, and for a whole 10 months, I was invited to do a survey for them just once.

A few weeks ago, I joined Ireland Survey Panel, through which I applied to 5 different programmes. For 2 weeks, I received no invitations other than to update my profile on those different survey websites and to fill out the media survey, which does not pay you but enters you in a draw to win prizes.

In the last 2 weeks I have been invited to fill out on average one survey every other day, and the funny thing is that most surveys are coming from Global Test Market.

If you want to make a bit of money from completing online surveys, you need to join as many survey websites as you can, fill out your surveys as soon as you receive your invitations, and try to complete all the surveys you get.

One more thing: before you start filling out a survey, make sure that you have at least 30 minutes of free time, I overcooked dinner more than once thinking I had time to finish a survey (no wonder I am still single)!
