Many people usually try to make money by completing surveys on paid survey websites. The fact remains that paid survey sites won't make you rich, as majority of the surveys do not pay a handsome amount of money. So, have you very tried to make money through paid surveys? What was your experience?
 
Surveys are just for pocket money, especially if you are in the tier-3 countries. I tried it and after hours of clicking, the payout did not even buy me a pizza. It’s fine to get some side change, but to build wealth? No. This is exactly why I stopped taking them. Time is better invested in learning actual skill.

I watched a video of a guy who was living in a tier 1 country. In fact, even he was also not able to make a huge sim of money through paid surveys. This is one of the main reasons why many people are not interested in laid surveys.
 
Online gigs like paid surveys, micro jobs, even paid to post are only good for earning some cash in your spare time. If you want to become rich working online, you either need to start an online business or do influencer marketing.

There are many misleading titles of videos on YouTube that claim that you can make thousands of dollars each month by participating in laid surveys. However, the reality is that you may not get many surveys in the hoke month. You may just receive a few of them each month.
 
I've found those survey sites are, generally, a complete waste of time. Those that paid out, it was pocket change.

Well, surveys don't make you rich but it certainly pays well if you happen to be in tier one country. You can easily make $20-$30 per survey and can do over a dozen surveys in a month. But surveys aren't paying much for low tier countries
 
No is the answer, at least for most people. This is because most surveys are location based, so it is hard for a specific location to make much of they are not the target. That is what I keep on facing with surveys right now. If you are not among the target demographic then forget about it.
 
The only way you can get rich online is either create a SaaS product or influencer marketing. All other activities will make you just peanuts

Not all the people living in tier 1 countries are making good money by completing surveys. Certain people belonging to tier 1 countries are not making enough because they do not match the criteria set by the survey companies. This also includes your age, demographics, gender, social status, etc.

Surveys talk can hit well, but saying only SaaS or influencing can make a person rich is not true at all. I get your point, but skills like design, coding, even writing is still paying if someone is very consistent. I tried surveys too, it was a total waste of time.
