Comments on: Laura’s Top 10 Surveys (June 2011) http://www.getpaidsurveys.com/blog/top-ten-survey-panels-laura/ Paid Surveys Tips and User Reviews Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:13:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Joe the Admin http://www.getpaidsurveys.com/blog/top-ten-survey-panels-laura/comment-page-1/#comment-643 Joe the Admin Mon, 13 Jun 2011 09:54:50 +0000 http://www.getpaidsurveys.com/blog/?p=875#comment-643 Lee, yes I believe that might be helpful. I agree that you should be aware of what you are being compensated for your time spent, and the point values can sometimes confuse things a bit. That being said I sometimes find myself taking some lower point surveys just because I think they are interesting, even though they may not pay well. Of course, that is the exception and not the rule, so the way I see it is before you start a survey you should be aware of how much it pays; then based on your interest level of the topic of the survey and the pay, you can decide if it's worth your time. Sounds like a topic for a good article. Lee, yes I believe that might be helpful.

I may submit an article comparing points from several paid online survey panels so our readers can see how they differ, if our Admin agrees.

I actually did what you suggested just now - and yeah, that's about right - I'm currently at $1.52 for the month of June for the sponsored polls. I totally agree that given the choice, a better paying survey beats the little points everyday - but where I find these sponsored polls useful is during my hectic weeks at work when I don't have time to do a survey in one sitting. My 'real life job' is kind of a 'hurry up and wait' one, so I find there are lots of moments at work where I may only have five minutes of a break or so before I have to start my next project. So I generally do these short polls (as well as some of my 'click through' emails) when I'm worried that I may not have time to finish a proper survey in one sitting. Thanks Lee!

Have you ever actually tried to add up all of the points each month JUST from the Quick Surveys/Quick Votes aka "Sponsored Polls" on Toluna? I took 130 in the past month for either 15 (44), 30 (56), 45 (14), 60 (8) or 75 (3) points for a total of 3675 points or $1.23 at 1/30 cent per point. If you are spending more than ten minutes per day, or an hour per week, taking these polls, it may be a waste of time. Congratulations Laura and nice job on your list!
