Survey Junkie Review
The REAL question was, can you make any money using Survey Junkie?
To test the website my wife and I set up a simple experiment. We both signed up for the site, set a timer for one hour, and tried to see how much money we could earn. The goal was to see if we could make more than minimum wage using the app.
We also made it a competition between the two of us on who could make more with the site. Mrs. Money Geek beat me out by $0.20. Lessons were learned, one being don’t challenge Mrs. Money Geek to a money earning contest.
Despite our best efforts with the site, neither of us was able to break minimum wage. We both stalled out around 3 dollars when the timer rang. I was ready to conclude the effort a failure. However, Mrs. Money Geek provided a bit of objectivity.
“The Surveys were kind of fun, and we were doing them while watching TV” – Mrs. Money Geek
She had a point; I was looking at the surveys all wrong. If you think filling out surveys online is going to replace employment or other sources of income, then you will be disappointed.
However, if you view the surveys to make a few extra dollars a day when the opportunity presents itself than the website is a winner.
Chances are during the day you will have several minutes where you can complete a survey, such as:
• Waiting to pick the kids up from school • Riding the bus or train, or during a carpool • Downtime at an airport • In-between meetings at work. • While riding an exercise bike • Donating blood or plasma • Watching TVDuring the day, you likely encounter several 10 to 15-minute opportunities where you can complete a quick survey. If you can squeeze an hour a day of surveys into your schedule, then that’s 3 extra dollars a day.
