Hey all,

when I first came online I joined several survey companies. I actually won one of their sweepstakes. oh BTW this is back in 2002. all of a sudden there started being these companies that promise $$$$.
I found out the hard way none of the companies ever contact you and you can find the same companies and sign up without paying a dime. I found out teh only way I coud recoup my losses was to try to get some poor suckers to sign up for the same company I did.

there sre so many other poor suckers out there just like me.
I really do earn money and get free products etc.
but realistically i am lucky to earn $40 bucks a month.

all the places that want you to get your friends to join..you realize with every friend you get to join you that cuts your and everyone elses chances of winning sweepstakes.

I've been around the survey inustry long enough to see it's gotten so saturated with people just trying to reel in more suckers.

Hi Shelle!

Thanks for your input! What you say is very true. I think it is time for a "deep cleaning out" of old email addresses (out-of-date survey participants), because I think a lot of the databases currently out there are full of junk. Just my opinion.

Oh wow, good point.. I didn't think of that myself, and I guess I would have to agree with Brandon as well.. We need an internet cleansing! Ah well.. I still believe you can win nice stuff, just have to be lucky with now more then anything..

I think that is happening because there is now a lot of survey panels and a larger membership base also, but at the same time there is some large survey companies that are doing well example greenfield, FGI, Global test market and Brand institute and pinecone
