It Just Isn't Working

Hi All,

I'm on several sites such as Valued Opinions and Gift Hulk but the returns do not by any means match the effort put in. What else do people suggest doing?

Thanks

    Well they are not to provide a living. Yes returns feel small but adds up. Treat it as an additional income. Perhaps stick with 2-3 website you like best.

    I dont know what is your expectation in terms of return by the way but as I said don't expect to generate a second salary basically.

    Well I just cashed out five dollars from Gift Hulk after 6 weeks, log on most days to complete the card game and I qualify for very few surveys.

    £50 per month would be nice.

    It would be nice but then there wouldn't be many websites such as SB or Gift Hulk as it wouldn't be profitable for them.

    I do cash out £30 from Global Test Market every month and around £30 from others. So perhaps try other things.
