I have been working online since 2016 and that was just online surveys, I was surprise when I take it seriously after a year of starting it. It encourage me to be persistent and be honest to do online because it gives credit and rewards. I even paid for $250 for answering a question everyday for 2 weeks. And another $100 for 7 days, others are mostly gift voucher and e-gift cards. And then this year was not really good but I am still earning a little bit through surveys. I hope next there will be more opportunity earning online. Its not really a waste of time, earning online is just and extra not unless you don't have any other source of income. If your source of income is online and there is not enough income coming in then, maybe you needed an offline income so you don't waste your time speding online for a tiny amount.
