Slow month compared to last year still, but today is an exception, a RARE one, because unfortunately for some earning a high single or 2 digit is more difficult now, so here we go.....

* 3 YourSurveys (Been very hard lately to qualify for YourSurveys, so haven't done multiple YourSurveys in a while).
Exceptionally today got a $4.98 survey, that helped boost day's earnings, I immediately thought it was going to be one of those business surveys I can't qualify for, but to my shock it was an IPSOS consumer survey, AND at the end was even offered possibility to answer a follow-up for an extra $100 if they selected me, I said yes as long as no webcam or microphones required, s basically they want me to navigate a website, monitor my interactions and ask me questions, it's probably one of those webcam surveys, so since they specifically did not mention webcam or mic but mentioned it was a monitored interactive experience survey I accepted under conditions, so if this follow-up goes through I will get paid $100. I have taken IPSOS follow-up surveys bfeore, and the most I got paid was $150, that was years ago on CS So this is one of the RARE gems. And yesterday on CINT got a $3.20 also. It's good for a change when most of the time surveys are <$1 here. So today was a good day for YourSurveys particularly!

* 1 PMR survey (Does are the ySense surveys) I got one of their green surveys today, those have a distinct shade and means perfect match, easy to qualify for those but they usually go off quota quicker. Managed to catch one today!

* 3 OpinionWorld

Unfortunately nothing on AdGem today as they removed all surveys, at least I don't see them, I guess maybe they do not like paying too many disqualified surveys, though it's not my fault if their surveys are mostly DQ, but now I do not see ANY surveys on that wall which is odd, never happened to me in all my history on survey sites.

So didn't beat any records by any means but good day nonetheless. In the older glory years of CS to me days like these were bad average / OK, earning twice as much was common with the tasks in those years.

So now by today's standards here it is excellent

congrats

WOW congrats , you earning is going up all the time

lol !

Yeah I already have $500 this month, it's going up UP UP UP UP UP and away like a hot air baloon
//edit: In case people actually believed I made $500 this month, it was sarcasm,not even close, but it was in response to those who say I am a top earner or doing well.......

That's a misconception, should be added to the tips - One should never assume that to earn big you need to spend all day/night, because it depends. Of course those who have only penny or half penny or very low paid tasks will spend quite a lot of time to earn. These are not daily earnings for me here, it's rare, but when it happens it usually means the occasional good task comes along or high paid surveys. I've had $50 days here on ySense, only 3 hours work, yet there are days I spend many hours and earn <$2. Yesterday, for that $13.xx, it came down mostly to 25 minute $4.98 survey, and another for $1.81, so already almost half of that earned in less than 1 hour, the rest was done intermittently but within a span of few hours not constantly checking, I usually do this late in the evening, or early in the morning, but I do not spend whole day - earnings can increase quite fast when there are good surveys and tasks - which nowadays is extremely rare, which makes for low months even with the few good days

In the 2014-2016 years one could earn double that in a day for only few hours, due to the recurring daily tasks.

I'd love some more of those $50 days though ! Unfortunately now most tasks are very unfair, so it's difficult to earn from tasks unless you are one of the lucky ones to be assigned good tasks that are fair.

It's kind of funny in one way Darkstar2 because you are always complaining about the
earning opportunities here, and more for that matter. Yet, you are a top earner in
regards to the earning options here (not including affiliates).

Of course, like you said, it varies in regards to how much one can earn. I did post
about 'Time' in my tips. Overall, it truly does matter how much time you have in
order to do surveys and tasks.

Also, I have to say if one was to work 3 hours straight, that would be very good.
The issue I believe is that most people either don't have 3 hours straight to do
this stuff online or they spend that much time and more throughout their entire
day.

I do wish everyone had the option to make $500 or more per month on a routine
basis (without refs and without running all over the www to do it).

Thank you Valerie this is what I felt about this forum. All things in this forum seemed funny. Many are giving this sort of funny complaints and contradictory comments which a new member like me will be mistaken. Hence members should be warned to provide stable comments so there will be no abuses as you had from me.

I have no idea what you are saying. You have made abusive posts and I don't know why
and I don't care why. If you are not sure of something, the best thing to do is ask. Not
start posting negatives and abuse posts. You were not even here a couple of weeks when
you started your derogatory comments. I strongly suggest you read the forum rules.

There is so much irony in the comment above don't you think ? You want to know what's "FUNNY", your indirect stab at the "complainers", and since I am one of them, I take it personally, because you have basically made abusive posts, and now you turn around and point your fingers at others in regards to STABLE COMMENTS and FUNNY COMPLAINERS, this is so much irony to an almost comedic proportion.......

If by "FUNNY" complaints you are referring mostly to mine, let me give you a bit of insight, first they are not FUNNY, if I wanted FUNNY, I would have done stand-up comedy or had my own sitcom - I am here to earn money and in the process have fun conversations on the forum, which are not always serious in nature, but that's not a bad thing - BUT my complaints, nothing "FUNNY" about those! You made a 360 degree turn when you were warned of being banned and now you are suddenly shifting your target on those who complain - which may I remind you, some of these are the most active, committed and hard working members who despite their complaints have worked very hard on previous and current site, that should count for something as opposed to newer members who join and complain right away don't you think ?

People complain for whatever reason, as far as I'm concerned, in regards to my complaints, I can back up all my complaints with numbers - I have always been open to share my stats here and always been fully transparent about what I earn, and honest when I have good days I say it. The problem you are experiencing all comes down to misunderstanding and misinterpretations - As a new member it's important to understand REALITY, and that this is not a get rich quick scheme, there is much frustration most days to earn well, it requires a lot of work and patience of steel, you might as well know this information and keep that in mind as opposed to new members joining under the big claims that money will fall from the sky and become disappointed later. Besides there are tons of negative reviews about the site everywhere, so whenever there is MONEY involved people look past complaints and want to test for themselves, proof being, you see those people join the worst sites despite low reviews, so t his explains the concept of things. Your argument as far as new members is concerned is INVALID - because other than complaints, the same people post their stats, their good days, so this shoes that despite things being slow most days, some good days come, this can be enough for some new members, but REALITY remains - from a senior member's perspective who has been extremely active and have notice the decline, and has more to compare against compared to a new member.

What Valerie is pointing out here should be explained further, she claims I am a top earner HERE, I have earned well, yes over the YEARS on CS in total, am I among the top earners, that is subjective, that is her opinion, not everyone shares their stats on forum, in fact most don't, so her comment could simply mean that I am AMONG those with high earnings, but that comment is based over a period of time, it does not mean it still applies ! Just because I post my stats from time to time does not mean I get those consistent results day to day, yes I've had $50 days here, 2 digits, etc, but overall, most days it is slow, and to me what counts is the total results at the end of the month, and yes anything is certainly better than nothing, and yes, it can be worse, but overall trend is decline - when you see stuff constantly being REMOVED here, first it was routers, now surveys inside offer walls, this is FACT, it's not just complain to complain - they added the AdGem wall, which was actually a good way to add some $$$ to your checklist through the surveys, and now ? GONE without notice, are these "FUNNY" complaints to you ? Amount of survey reduced considerably, can I still earn here, yes, but what Valerie did not mention is that one has to work harder to earn less. She even pasted Mark's comment basically acknowledging removal of said surveys for whatever reason, supporting what I was complaining about all along. I have better things to do than just complain to annoy, I am a hard working and committed member, I am not just here to complain and that's it, I try everything I possibly can and available to me - since you are new member you might not understand it - and other members here that have always had low earnings, would not relate either, their earnings have remained stable....... But once you are at a top level and keep going down, reduced surveys, reduced rates, reduced earnings over time, it's normal that there will be complaints.
For tasks the situation is dire, crappy, unfair, broken, poor tasks, I never blamed ySense about that, but for surveys, 6 months later, and no added stand-alone routers, reduction of survey offering, I mean come on, anybody could understand it would be reasonable now more than ever to complain, and this is coming form someone who used to earn $300-$500 month to month consistently on CS in the good years. I do not expect to earn even close to that here, BUT when I see that the first 3 months were promising in terms of surveys, after they added inventory and that suddenly since November things were cut short, I think it is reasonable to complain - regardless of whether some days I have good earnings or not, I could have a $50 day today and most other days slow, but overall MORE time is spent MOST days for less. That other day, I was lucky to get $6 from surveys in less than 1 hour, but it is not something that is frequent at all. Internet costs money, electricity costs money, computer maintenance costs money...... If this site had better communication and support this would help offset many of the complaints.

I have been a member of CS since late 2011, if you think my complaints are "FUN AND GAMES" or "FUNNY", then you are truly mistaken - Not a day on this bloody site and previous site have I not been active and fully committed to my work, as many other members here. As far as the funny topics here, well we are all under a lot of stress, don't you think adding humour and out of the ordinary topics is a good thing ? If you cannot handle these topics why read the forum in the first place ? You should distinguish between funny topics and humour and read between the lines vs. SERIOUS complaints.

There is a HUGE difference between a fairly new member joining and complaining already about stuff, vs. a long time member who has seen lots over the years. Stuff here is REMOVED, REDUCED without notice, without communication, this has been this way since day 1, and sorry to say but in 6 months site has not done much in regards to adding more ways to earn other than offer walls mostly with low paid or purchase junk, as a new member maybe you have not seen this process, so you would think that complainers are just complaining just for the fun of it........Not everyone is like that.

I should think twice in the future before posting my success stories because people use them as bullets against me and do not understand the whole picture.

Even Tasman1 has bashed the new site and made some vile comments, search his posts from August 1st till now, BUT like me, he is committed and VERY active, and also shares his daily stats, he has good days too, like myself, but does that mean he is doing WELL here, clearly not, and in fact his complaints are often in line exactly with mine and others here.

If people cannot have fun on a forum and add humour into messages, then it would be a sad place, and it would also be so boring if everybody agreed with one another. It should be obvious when someone is making a tongue in cheek comment vs. a serious comment. But one thing I NEVER do, is complain about something that is not true.
What have I complained about so far here since day 1 ?

The PayPal USD vs,. CAD thing was REAL and therefore a FACT.
Communication and support, again a FACT, even Valerie has complained and acknowledged the same in her posts in the past.
Reduced amount of surveys, removal of routers, etc, all true.

So I'd like to understand what do you find FUNNY or ODD about complaints here, because I read forum too, and so far much of the complaints here have a repeating pattern !

Don't let your judgment be clouded by bias, I used to earn 4 figures a month online as a freelancer, high 3 figures on CS, and now I am down to struggling barely to make it above the $100 mark and month to month the amount of survey inventory keeps getting lower, what helps are the maybe RARE good day to boost things, otherwise things would be far worse.

How come on another site you see all STAND ALONE routers, and here you see so LITTLE stand alone routers but abundance of low paid, low grade offers ? and now suddenly even the surveys in one of the offer walls was removed, for everyone.

There are people who complain in life but do NOTHING, don't be mistaken by Valerie's comments, I complain but I AM trying and I am in the lengthy process of finding new ways to earn online outside the GPT arena, hopefully so that I do not have to rely only on surveys, because honestly I do not see this site heading in the right direction, so it's always good to have plan B and plan C. I used to have Plan B, plan C, but they are gone, now I have Plan A, but working hard to find new plans.

Now, that is what I call an afternoon filling response, nonetheless your point taken.

Oh good grief.

It's difficult to post anything any more. There is always someone that wants to 'complain'
about what someone posted.

Folks, if you don't like a post or topic, simply ignore it.

That IS what moderators are for. To edit and mark posts for deletion. And if you have a
complaint on a moderator or something else, there is a help desk in which you can submit
a ticket.

Do keep in mind the language differences/barriers. I think some times members read much
more into what is read than what is meant. Not to mention, totally incorrect about what is
meant.
