Why do you do online surveys?

Considering that in Australia Minimum wage is $20-33 per hour and online surveys only pay an average of $2 to $5 per hour; why do we bother doing them?

I personally do them because I am a disability pensioner who is financially struggling to survive on just $40 a fortnight after paying my rent, electricity, gas, water, phone, and internet bills plus funeral insurance.

Thank goodness my local council gives me meals on wheels FREE of charge 7 days a week

Due to the high number of people in need I have a large vegetable garden which I use to grow fresh vegetables to help people in need through a local charity at my own costs.

Therefore, I basically do online surveys to cover the costs of running that vegetable garden PLUS vet bills and the occasional extra items I need to survive.

Why do YOU do online surveys?

  • I enjoy helping companies & governments make decisions that they are struggling to answer themselves. They seem to need the publics help in deciding on certain issues. They need to know what people think & how exact the trends are for them to move forward in their advertising & what products you tend to buy etc. I like to set the way! My contribution!

    • When they open the borders again... Rewardia will need to increase the game points again.

      • To get rich and powerful, and to help support my millionaire lifestyle

        • Living the highlife on points? Omg.

      • Same as you Edward re needing any money possible to supplement a Carers benefit- which is definitely below minimum wage. Anything to go towards petrol which is a horrendous price.

        • I do not know about your area but you can get food and petrol vouchers from CatholicCare and food vouchers from Salvation Army

      • I'm doing them because I'm not working at the moment. I resigned from my job because I'm moving areas. It's keeping me occupied untill I find a new job. Thanks to another lockdown moving has been delayed. I enjoy doing them. I love the games and trivia.

        • Good to give ones input and get free alcohol doing it.
          ·
          • Not alcohol.just points.
            ·
        • Because I like holding my breath and crossing my fingers, hoping to be given points after spending ridiculous amounts of time on surveys! But seriously I have managed to buy food and gifts out of the vouchers. Good for you and your charitable work!

          • Fun! To do interesting surveys. Most could be better! I like the ones on new products best!

            • I do it for fun mainly. Also play some of the games. Not much reward but get a voucher which I usually use for groceries that I would not normally buy. Have the time as I am a pensioner.

              • I do it just for fun
                ·
                • Just spend time doing something. If you get a gift card for that ... well then ... why not?
                  ·
                  • Extra money, can pay a bill or two with surveys or can get some household goods without paying money by using vouchers. It's not a great hourly rate as you say but it's not a big deal if I'm at home and can just do 10 mins here and there at various times during the day and have the radio or a podcast on in the background
