Online Surveys

[coxhoedave]

I started doing online surveys with a single company last year. Online survey companies do not have the best of images but I thought I'd give it a go. The company I use operates on a points system. For an average survey you get 50 points and when you accumulate 1000 points you can cash these points in. The current rate is $50 for a 1000 points.

A few weeks ago I cashed in all my points and was sent a cheque for 2350 Baht or £45 (as I'm based in the UK and all cheques are sent in local currency). Before people start screaming "What has this got to do with Thailand" or "Too little money" it would be quite easy for those in Thailand with time on their hands and a computer to do the same. And although 2350 Baht will never make you rich it could buy an awful lot of Chang or Leo!!

Anyone tried it in Thailand?

I haven't named the company because I don't want this post to be seen as some sort of cheap plug.

how many minutes/hours/days/months did it take you to make £45?

it could be interesting if you sit at a computer all day with full access to the internet..

99% of the online survey companies do not allow signups from Thailand. Even if you do manage to sign up, they often check your IP to see where you are located.

In terms of hours I really wouldn't like to say. I built the £45 up over a matter of about 6 months or so but you would have to bear in mind that I sometimes went weeks without bothering to do one. I did one this morning it took about 15 minutes and worked out at about $2.50.

Not enough to interest most people but if you have time on your hands maybe worth a go. Sometimes they can be pretty interesting as well.

No doubt you are correct, maybe it would make a really interesting new thread, although if someone had a fantastic new idea I wouldn't have thought they would share it here.

The good thing about surveys is it's easy, especially if you're online daily, with no risk or unsold stock (unlike ebay). It's obviously not going to make anyone rich, but it is good for a pocket money cheque every once in a while.
