Taking paid surveys

I am still waiting to find out if my post would be approved by PayPerPost. Allegedly it takes about 72 hours to get the resolution, but it may be longer.
I took a look at the market opportunities; again, for a new comer without any tack (yet) there are not too many options. Right now the number is … 4!!
Out of 4, two – the nice ones- have been already fully reserved, one requires one tack (the same opportunity like last week) and the other one it’s… well… acceptable.
Just out of curiosity I checked the red offers (the ones that are not available for me) to see what makes them unreachable. Do you want to know?
Some of them require a Google rank of at least 5, others require real rank of at least 9 (what the heck is real rank?)
OK folks, swallow the bitter pill and repeat after me… I won’t quit my day job! until the thought settles down deep in your brain.

Moving on to the topic of ‘Taking surveys’.
Probably you have heard/read about people boasting about how much they make just by filling out surveys.
Reality check: it’s true it’s for North America, but most of the time that means the U.S.A. Fellow Canadians, not for you!!!
So far I got about 3 survey invitations (in 6 months!!).
Today I received the last one.
It read something along this line: 30 minutes survey, estimated pay: $3.
No more bitching about being paid $5 to write a post for PayPerPost, ok?
Never mind the amount, my kid was playing and I thought that I have 30 minutes to do it.
After about 3 minutes I was found undesirable because I said that I did not want to take any new credit cards this year.
So I made $0.25 for my effort.

Conclusion: if you want to make money with surveys, be careful what you answer. If you are honest, well, readdress this issue before enrolling into this kind of activity.
It looks like you have to know what to answer to stay in the game long enough to get the money.
Kind of like you do when you go to a job interview and you are asked why have you applied for the job.
