Paid surveys pay low more often than they pay high. And if a survey site says it pays cash for some surveys, and drawings for the rest, be assured that the cash payments are likely lower, and that most of the surveys will not pay in cash.

Points systems are also frequently a waste of time. One site routinely promises 10 points for a 20 minute survey. That equals half a cent a minute at their conversion rate. That is not worth my time! Of course they also say you will get entered into a drawing for $10,000... that means $100 to 100 people. Out of thousands who are taking the survey!

Read the fine print, and do a little math before you decide what is worth the time and what is not. I cannot definitively apply a per hour compensation amount to the time I spend writing or designing my websites. Often I will work for a month or two on something before I ever see any sign that it is going to work. In fact, there is usually a fairly long delay between doing something, and seeing results. But I’d rather spend my excess time working on this than wasting it on a survey that will pay me only a few pennies.

I joined about 10 different paid survey sites initially. Of those, I get regular invitations from two of them, each usually offering a drawing as compensation, so I don’t bother. One other sends occasional cash survey invites, which I almost never qualify for in the pre-screening. I did finish a $25 survey today though, and do not know whether I will actually get paid. Because once you finish, there are still more conditions to be met.

Most have a delay between the survey and the payment. It can be two months or so. And nearly all have a “minimum payment amount”. In other words, they don’t pay you until your earnings reach a certain amount - and that can be anywhere between $10 and $50. And after joining 10 company programs, I cannot possibly remember which ones have what minimum amounts! So it could be MONTHS before I get enough to get a check.

Some companies now pay via Paypal also. It may be a requirement, or an option.

I have determined that from now on, I’ll only apply to those that pay cash, or a select few that do merchandise that I am particularly interested in. Otherwise I’ll just put my time into other things that have a better chance of actually paying off.
