I also tried this a while back just for kicks. It seemed like I could make $5 per DAY. Most of the surveys would reject me for one reason or another, probably because I'm a lousy consumer that doesn't watch TV, buy new cars or go on expensive vacations/cruises. I ended up wasting tons of time trying to qualify for surveys that would just reject me (even some surveys that Swagbucks said were a good match for me). There were occasionally surveys that were an excellent fit, such as a Seattle mayoral election poll, a financial products/aptitude survey, and one or two phone/bank advertising focus groups. But I had to weed through at least ten for every good one I found.
What's the secret?
