WAYS TO EARN
Surveytime is a dedicated survey site, so the primary means of earning is by taking surveys. The site pays $1 per survey and they pay instantly. If you don’t qualify for a survey, Surveytime will invite you to take part in easier surveys at a rate of $0.50 per survey. Some of these lower-paying surveys take less than a minute to complete, which makes them worthwhile.
Surveytime offers an affiliate programme too, but it’s not for everyone and they’re picky about their affiliates. The application process is somewhat different from other affiliate sites. You will need to apply by writing to Surveytime and explaining who your audience is and why and how you intend to promote your affiliate link. Ideally, you must have a website and dedicated social media profiles.
Once accepted, they will provide a variety of promotional assets in the form of banners and ads to help you to promote their product. Affiliate payments take place on a monthly basis to the platform of your choice – Payoneer, PayPal or Amazon gift certificates.
If you’re accepted as an affiliate, you will receive a one-time payment for each referral – $1 per mobile referral and $1 per desktop referral.
HOW MUCH CAN YOU EARN?
There are no limits to the number of surveys you can take, but the number of surveys available to you can sometimes be limited. You also do not need to request a withdrawal as the process is automated. The moment you’ve completed your survey, you will be offered a means of withdrawing your payment. Options are Amazon gift certificates, a cash payment to PayPal, or crypto withdrawals via Coinbase.
PAYMENT
An added advantage of Surveytime is that it has no withdrawal threshold. You are paid to the platform of your choice immediately upon completing the survey.
Each time you’ve completed a survey you will be able to choose how you wish to withdraw your funds – the options for South Africans are PayPal, Amazon gift vouchers or payment to your Coinbase crypto wallet.
SUMMARY
