Is it possible to make money taking online surveys?
The short answer is yes, you can. But, it's usually less than what the survey companies lead you to believe.
First, not all survey companies are created the same. Yes, some are spammy...and some are even scammy. So, you need to be working with the right survey companies. Survey Junkie is one of the reputable ones. I know, it's ironic given their name.
Here's a helpful review about Survey Junkie, and it's honest. Russell and his wife Maleah write about their real experience using this company. (Also, BTW, they link to another article where they share are survey sites that pay well.
Second, you need to set realistic expectations. I feel that most of the survey companies oversell how much you'll actually make. They don't seem to factor in that you may not qualify for some of the surveys. As Russell explains in his article, you can generally make $10-$14/hour.
That's not a lot...but it's not nothing either. If you have extra time and you need to make some extra money, it is in fact incremental money in your pocket. If you have a have a full time job, or if you're a mom with kids, and you don't have a lot of time...but you do have chunks of time (and often unpredictable ones), it's nice to have a side hustle like this where you can spend time on it when it's convenient for you.
This could be a way to make some extra money throughout the year...or only at certain times, pending on your needs.
