Important: Tips on how to make money on Qmee ($50-100+ a month) and what to avoid.

I wanted to give this guide because a lot of people are using Qmee the most unoptimized way possible in regards to actually making money, so I wanted to go over some tips on how to increase your income, what to do and what not to do, and tips for avoiding the scam requestors.

I usually did 100-200 a month which is great, but in recent months I have fleshed out the optimal strategy.

Here is my recent Qmee history in the account tab to show this:

Device tips:

1. Don't use the app, it's a slow overlay over a gimped version of the mobile website, it adds too much time between the start and end of a survey, often you'll miss crucial windows leading to the "too many respondents" decline. It's rotation algorithm is also different from the mobile and desktop sites and usually has worse and higher time duration options, also usually a higher decline and closure rate. This is one of the biggest mistakes people make, both the Mobile site and Desktop are much faster and relatively reliable.

2. Don't use the Desktop site unless you have a fast computer with decent internals inside. Also a very fast 1:1 mouse (preferably Wireless but optional). You need to be able to very quickly swap through pages and handle the requirements many sites use to get through surveys at reasonable speed (not super fast, as that's one of the survey traps I'll mention later in this post.) You want as little lag, loading, slowdown, and resource problems as possible because many of these programs and/or sites are badly optimized.

3. Outside the above point, the mobile website is still generally the fastest way to do surveys and make money on Qmee. It removes the hinderances the app adds and has better rotation for incoming surveys. You don't need a super phone just make sure the internals and brand are decent and you can handle Qmee like a pro even with a $99 cheapo at best buy. Recommend 5-5.8 inch screen for survey site compatibility.

Survey tips:

1. You have to follow the time:earnings ratio rule. Generally unless you have to (sometimes Qmee won't give you more surveys until you complete some long tedious ones but that doesn't happen to often, it's usually on weekends) don't spend 25 minutes on a 50 cent to $1.20 survey because you just missed a bunch of 2-9 minute 30-$1.58 surveys doing so. You want to look at your choices and do the shortest one for the best value first, so that way you get back to the panel fast enough to either do the other survey you saw, or get a high value survey rotating in. If I see a 5 minute .90 cent survey and a 3 minute .70 cent survey, those are more important than a 15 minute $1.29 single survey.

2. Most surveys under 15 minutes are 1-4 minutes shorter than what their duration says in Qmee. Not all but most. On the other end most 15+ minute surveys are more likely to scam you of your time lasting usually 2-10 minutes longer than advertised.

3. 15+ minute surveys are more likely to have you decline near the end or after finishing the survey. Or they hit you with the "too many respondents" decline. They are also usually the ones that are closed but Qmee doesn't quickly take them out of rotation.

4. Qmee has an associated partner called Pollfish, these are usually 1-3 minutes long even if they say 5+ minutes, so they can be quick extra change, especially while you're waiting for good surveys.

5. When you have a bunch of long low price surveys, either wait no more than 3-4 minutes closing the tab, then coming back to catch new rotations, or if it takes more than 5 minutes to see new surveys come in, go into one of the longer surveys, wait two minutes and then go back to the panel.

6. If you have many bad long surveys on the panel, if you're quick you can tap two of the surveys and the site will register you clicking both rotating both out of the panel and gaining two replacements.

7. If you are declined too many times or "too many respondents" too many times in a short time, you'll notice at times your quantity of available surveys will shrink, that's part of the algorithm. So even if it's not your fault it can impact the money you can make. If you notice that starting to happen take a 5-10 minute break. Otherwise you'll have less surveys to work with for a longer amount of time and get long surveys rotated in more often. This is especially crucial on weekends where you wouldn't be able to recover until the next day.

8. Cint surveys will sometimes ask you qualifying questions in the middle of the routing. Always click the top right button that says "skip to survey" because sometimes those are traps that assign to your survey ID, so because you said, for example, you liked all ice cream but liked chocolate the most for that specific screener, you will now be declined for nearly every dessert food based Cint survey because it will consider ice cream your favorite dessert, having thise auto decline you. Or that you only eat chocolate ice cream and won't consider another flavor. This also applied to brands you like, occupations, favorite shows, etc. It's poorly organized so you'll be DQed for surveys you're qualified for. So if that button is there always skip to the survey. Remember, Cint is not a survey requestor just a router.

9. Alchemer has a 98% good cost to time rate with the lowest declines of any survey provider. Within that, the Survey Cat branch has a 100% complete rate.

Survey Gizmo has a 89% complete rate and little declines.

Morning consult for politics has a 89% rate with nearly no declines. Morning consult outside of politics drops that by almost half, so careful on those, especially since most morning consult surveys will start with political questions even if the survey isn't about politics.

Zaap.io(zapp?) Are usually questions about opinions on new or upcoming products, generally short, and have an 87% rate. (White site is shorter than the red site but both are usually short.) System1 research(or system10) also is similar.

Poprewards, if you watched episodes of tv series even in the past, it's easy, just look for a show and episode you remember and then answer questions, when it offers you more say no, and then "I'm done for today" to collect your reward in 3-4 minutes or less. Since I've seen most episodes of Family Guy, Aqua Teen, American Dad, and South park, and one of those is always an option, I just choose the episode I remember most and get it done quick. You only need to get a third of the answers right (green) for the reward anyway.

If you see these it's often good to do them, as they also have higher prices, they generally aren't long and have little to no declines or "too many" closures, so if you walk into them I advice you to complete them.

Scam tips:

1. There are many surveys that automatically shift you to the next page when you click a bubble or take an action, I would say about a third of these are up to no good and have speed traps built in. Some move so quick, you'll be declined taking the survey at normal speed. If there isn't 2-3 second lag between pages for these specific survey types, be careful.

2. In addition to the above some surveys up to no good have PAGE timers that decline if you aren't on a page for a certain time. These are usually nearly impossible to spot and you'll definitely decline thinking you did something wrong or made the wrong choice, only to sometimes get that same survey again with a changed url, click the other answer and still get declined. Keep note of this and the surveys mentioned above, remember the company names so you skip them and go right back to the panel.

3. There's a site called Itraffic or something similar, and often one of the screener questions is "would you like to sign up for a rewards site" or similar, skip it immediately. It has a really low rate of getting you to a real survey you can actually complete.

4. JDpower outside the rare 5-7 minute ones (which usually have different design layouts than the traditional) are huge time sinks that always lie about survey lengths, not worth it, stay away.

5. If you notice that a survey is at least over 2 minutes past it's advertised duration and it doesn't seem like you are on closing questions, do yourself a favor and quickly leave the highly likely scam and get to a better survey

6. If a survey is 10 minutes or longer and doesn't have a progress bar, it usually means the requestor is hiding it on purpose and it's longer than advertised. This isn't always true, but it's damn common. It also allows them to close or "too many" you by the time you reach the end.

7. In addition, Decipher inc and Qualtrics surveys (that aren't customized) come with progress bars or percentages by default. If you enter a survey over 10 minutes and there's no progress bar for any of these two survey networks it means they were turned off or hidden on purpose. Whether you trust the provider and go forward is up to you, but I generally don't do those unless the surveys are slowing down.

8. If a survey screens you into a survey network, and that survey network ended up being another screener in disguise, leave the survey.

9. There are some surveys that are two parts that will give you a bonus for completing them along with the advertised reward. However half of these are scams that will decline or "too many" you often after you do both parts, only rewarding you for the first part. If at all.

There are times you can get $1.80-$2.20 IF you get a legit one, or less, but it's usually not worth it. Two 3-5 minute 50-70 surveys gets you $1.00-$1.40 quick, and by the time you finish part two, you just got a 7 minute $1.30+ survey you would have missed.

It's generally best to avoid them. It's very rare to see legit long bonus surveys, one time after a 20 minute survey I thought was scam, I receive $3.70 or something, there's a .01% that'll happen.

Anyway, hope these tips will help you increase your earnings and avoide scams and pointless declines. I can answer any additional questions you have.

When you work with Qmee you have to be patient and somewhat quick, but not fast, not just because of some bizarrely placed attention checks, but speed traps that auto decline.

Of course a lot of these issues impact every survey site, but Qmee is generally the quickest, pays in cash instead of points, and can be sent to paypal instantly at any amount, which you can then send from PayPal to your bank card also instantly, it's the closest thing to an instant pay job that isn't cash under the table.

You won't make a living off it, and the rotations are random, which is why you don't want to be trapped in very long surveys, but it's the best Survey site bar none.

The highest I ever got in one day is $55 in 3.5 hours (across the day at different times) so you can get good pulls.

With these tips, and patience, you can make $50-200 a month on average.
