mindswarms 4+

For a while, I was just wondering if I was wasting my time. Had it for 3 months and kept filling out prescreener surveys but not qualifying for anything. I was like “is this just a scam to collect my info with these prescreen surveys (that take about 5 minutes each)?” But patience pays off and I eventually got to take a video survey. That part was easy (since I already had a phone mount for online classes I teach) but I can’t say it was fast. The 10 questions and recording were easy enough but the videos took a few minutes each to upload (on my high speed connection), so in all, it might have taken 20 minutes... so don’t start it in between important activities. However, I was paid quickly by PayPal. I hope I get another! It’s certainly worth the download.

I’ve had Mindswarms and a couple other survey apps install for about 18 months now. You are initially asked for some demographic info - age, income, sex, etc. and then you wait. Eventually you will be invited to APPLY for a survey by answering a short survey about the subject. If your survey answers are a match for the demographic they are looking for you are invited to participate in the paid survey. 10 question, 60 second answers, as you record yourself. That’s it. Wait a day or two and get paid.

Pay is usually $25 - $50 though some immersion invitations could pay more. You won’t get a lot of invites - I just finished number 4 in 18 months. That’s roughly $200 bucks for 45-50 minutes of my time. Needless to say this won’t make you rich but can put some extra money in your pocket.

I have a couple of other apps that also are not scams but this one pays really well for what you are asked to do.

I’ve been using this app for a long time, over a year at least. There aren’t many survey qualifiers available, but when there is you want to jump on them! Most apps have huge long qualifying surveys but these are short and simple. Around once, or twice if I’m lucky, a year I qualify. I’ve been paid over $100 for one opportunity where I did many surveys for them. I just finished another for $50 which was very quick and easy. You do have to video your response. The money has always gone to PayPal within a few days and I move it to my bank. It’s been a real blessing as a college kid. I recommend this app to everyone. While your chances of qualifying are few and far between, it is worth it for when it works.
