The internet is a fascinating place, I could be in Nigeria and get information about what's going on in a completely different continent. What's more fascinating though is that with growing populations, more and more people are looking for external sources of income online.
In some cases these days people actually work remotely online everyday for their daily tukay(2k), while in most cases it's just a side hustle. It's the internet that has made this opportunities available in what we now call earning online.
When we look at it, we've come quite a long way technologically and one of those advantages has so far been online earning.
Earning online these days has gone on to take many different shapes and meaning, from content creation, to social media influencing, online blogs, the idea has grown big over time.
Writing online is another one, which is one of the reasons why I love this platform. Writing can sometimes be demanding, but it's a thought process that brings out creativity in you as much as any other job.
Another thing that brings out the thought process is answering questions, but in this case answering surveys.
It used to get tiring in my old job when we'd get a memo stating that a survey had been sent to our mail and we had a particular deadline to answer it. It was survey after survey, some were fun and some were downright frustrating.
A survey is usually a situation where you're asked to give an description, examination or even opinion on something.
Today you can find so many sites on the internet offering different surveys for a token. The only thing you're to do is spend your time answering questions and giving your opinion on the questions and voila you're rewarded.
I was complaining one day about how many surveys I sometimes had to deal with at work, when my cousin mentioned that there were sites that offered surveys and you could earn after completing them.
Since then I have opened accounts on a number of sites like AfriSight and Myvoice.
It can be quite fun because I do them mostly on my free time and I could go off for months and still log in without missing anything, there'll always be a new survey out there.
I love how some surveys try to trick you by repeating questions just to see if you really read the question or just clicking whatever you like. LOL
Although it's quite easy answering questions, it takes patience to really get anything tangible from there for two reasons.
The first is that many sites do not offer payment methods available to Nigerians and the few that have them, do not offer surveys with high rewards.
The second is that it can be quite frustrating at times. You can click on some surveys and they claim you're not qualified to answer them, or you might be answering some of them and suddenly it disconnects from the survey page.
This is why I only see this as something you do when you're not busy or just looking to have some fun with a few questions.
But at least half puff puff is better ororo.
