5 Reasons To Make SurveyJunkie Your Next Side Hustle
There are several reasons why someone might choose to have a side hustle as an online survey taker for SurveyJunkie. Here are five possible reasons:
1. Flexibility: Online survey taking allows for flexibility in terms of working hours. As a survey taker, you can typically choose when and where you want to complete surveys. This flexibility is especially beneficial for individuals who have other commitments such as a full-time job, studies, or family responsibilities.
2. Extra Income: One of the primary motivations for having a side hustle is to earn additional income. SurveyJunkie offers compensation to survey takers for completing surveys. While the income may vary depending on factors like survey length and complexity, it can be a convenient way to supplement your regular income or save up for specific goals.
3. Low Entry Barrier: Starting as an online survey taker usually has a low barrier to entry. SurveyJunkie, for example, allows individuals to sign up easily and start taking surveys without requiring specialized skills or experience. This accessibility makes it an attractive option for people looking to earn money without needing extensive training or qualifications.
4. Work from Anywhere: Online survey taking provides the opportunity to work from anywhere with an internet connection. Whether you prefer to work from the comfort of your home, a coffee shop, or while traveling, as long as you have access to the internet, you can take surveys and earn money. This flexibility can be particularly appealing for digital nomads or individuals seeking location-independent work.
5. Variety and Engagement: Participating in online surveys exposes you to a range of topics and provides an opportunity to share your opinions. This can be interesting and engaging for individuals who enjoy expressing their thoughts, providing feedback, or learning about different subjects. It can also serve as a way to stay updated on market trends, consumer preferences, and new products or services.

Below are three stories about interview experiences, however, two are true and one is a lie. Can you figure out which ones are real and which one is the lie?
Story #1: There was a promotions company that needed a graphic designer to add to their team of four. We were walking and interviewing, so they could show me the office, and they got to where I would be working. It was a closet. There were four people in there, desks pushed along every wall. The back of their chairs touched, they were so crammed close together. Their MacBook screens were edge to edge all the way around. There were no lights. I repeat: literally no lights. They looked up at us as we opened the door with giant computer screen glowing eyeballs. It was the creepiest and most bizarre workspace I'd ever seen. When we started walking back to the interviewer's office, I basically said I had to go.
Story #2: "We'd like to bring you on as a full time District Attorney. Due to budget constraints we will not be able to provide relocation compensation or compensation the first year. Budget permitting, we will consider compensation and benefits after the first year." "So, you want me to relocate across the country, work for free for a year without promise of paid employment after that year?" "We understand if this isn't for everyone." "I appreciate the opportunity to interview. Please let me know if your search expands to include paid employment for a District Attorney." And with that I hung up. Shortest interview ever.
Story #3: I was interviewing for a company and right from the start I got bad vibes. No one around the office looked incredibly happy or pleased to be there. So when I asked about the company’s culture and work life balance, the hiring manager said that “everyone is dedicated to the job” and that “most employees work 60 hours a week”. I mentioned that a 60 hour work week doesn’t leave much time for and “life” and that I was no longer interested in the position. They seemed confused and a bit offended, but I did not want to be miserable like everyone else there.

Are you looking to get ahead at your current job?
It’s time to start managing up! The benefits of managing up are worth the time and energy it takes to learn how to do. And it really isn’t that difficult to master.
What is managing up? It is the creation of an exchange that is beneficial for both parties involved (in this case it is you and your manager). This involves building trust and understanding each others professional goals to help one another succeed.
If you are looking to advance your career and meet the goals you have set for yourself then we suggest trying to manage up. Here are the three rules you should follow to be successful.
