Hello friends, I want to specially thank those of you that are following our posts. I want to remind us that our PAID SURVEY CHALLENGE IS STILL ON. Those who want to join us can still join. All you have to do is to just go to my PROFILE at NAIRALAND and pick my whatsaap number and whatsaap me directly with your first name .then I will add you to the group dedicated for this exercise.

Now my reason for writing this piece is to tell us about some things that happen in the course of taking surveys. In fact ,this is my personal experience.

Now like I said in one of my posts, this is one of the tricks that the research companies uses to get their findings right.
There was a particular one in my own case, when they want to start sending me higher paying surveys like 50dollars, 75dollars survey.
Because I have taken surveys several times consistently, but they are low paying surveys.
So when they wanted to upgrade me, they did not tell me.

They just asked me to answer the questions listed below, for them to send me surveys.
They asked me (1) HAVE YOU SUFFERED FROM DEPRESSION. I answered NO. (2) HAVE YOU SURFFERED FROM DIABETES. I said NO. (3) HAVE YOU SUFFERED FROM ACUTE BACK PAIN. I answered NO. (4) HAVE YOU SURFFERED FROM PSYCHIATRIC DISORDER. I said NO. (5) HAVE YOU SUFFERED FROM TUBERCULOSIS? I answered NO.

So when I answered NO to all their questions, they now replied and said Well thank you for your answers .
But you have missed a whooping 75 dollars survey cash by answering NO to all our questions.

If you had answered YES to at least ONE of the questions, we would have sent you surveys concerning that AILMENT and you would have won for yourself 75 dollars.

THANK YOU AND LOOK FORWARD FOR MORE SURVEYS IN THE FUTURE.
HAAH, I was angry that they did not inform me about this from the beginning and also for the loss of 75 dollars.
So I vowed that if I come in contact with this kind of surveys again, I would answer YES to at least two or three of the questions and earn for myself 75 dollars.

So after one week, they sent me another survey which involves Have you suffered from this or that.
So when I saw it I said, AAH, Today is Today, I must answer YES to 3 questions and earn for myself 75 dollars times the number of the survey invites.
Now the first question they asked me is (!) HAVE YOU SURFFERED FROM TEMPORARY MADNESS. I said AAAH. NOO I cannot answer YES to this one ooh.

Then the second question is HAVE YOU SUFFERED FROM EPILEPSY. I said AAAH again and said NO I cannot answer YES to this one. Then they now ask me the third question which is HAVE YOU SURFFERED FROM PSYCHIATRIC DISORDER. I now said AH AH , what is all this .WHICH one be psychiatric disorder again. NO I cannot answer YES to this one too. They now asked me whether I have surffered from DEPRESSION Before.
I then got angry and was wondering why they are asking me questions about all these odd AILMENTS.

I said ----See I cannot loose the 75 dollars again today. I must answer YES to ONE . As I was going through the questions again to know which one I can just manage to pick so that I do not loose my 75 dollars again today. Because all of them are terrible AILMENTS that nobody wants to be associated with talk less of suffering from.

After going through them again, honestly I could not pick anyone from the list. But I did not notice that there is one more question remaining, it was when I got tired that I could not pick anyone that I started looking at all of them again and at the end I saw the last question in the group which reads as follows.. TELL US ABOUT YOUR SLEEP APENEA. I now said Abeg, which one come be SLEEP APENEA? I know about SLEEP but which one be the APENEA…. Well I answered YES. To this one. Because I know that when it comes to sleeping that I do not play with it. In fact I can sleep while standing.
NOW THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT THEY ASKED ME AND THE ANSWERS THAT I GAVE TO THEM.

Now when I gave them all these answers, oh they were very satisfied and they did not hide it because they saw that I answered from the heart. So they congratulated me and told me that I have made for myself 75 dollarsfor this survey. I could not sleep as I was overjoyed because this is the first time I am earning a high amount in my survey taking career

But guess what happened the following day. I received an email from them telling me that there was a mix-up, that they lost some bit of information from the answers .I gave them yesterday. They now ask me if I can please help them to take the survey again putting the same answers that I inputted yesterday.

Now I did not write down the answers that I gave yesterday. So I did not remember all that I answered.
So after filling the answers ,again, they now told me that some of the information thet I gave yesterday.did not match the one I gave them today, that they are sorry that there is a mismatch, and that because of this the survey is cancelled. It was a story I do not want to hear. So this is how I lost my celebrated 75 dollars It bothered me much but I have to bear it.

The reason why I shared this is for those joining us to do surveys. Please anytime you see these kind of questions
And you answer YES to any of the questions and they start asking you other related questions .
Please always write down the questions and the answers you give them because they might likely send you the same questions they sent you before . if the answers are different, they will cancel the survey .and you will earn nothing. Therefore be watchful. As you follow these guide lines I wish a successful journey in your paid survey business.
