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.

This flexibility can be particularly appealing for digital nomads or individuals seeking location-independent work.

Don’t Apply To 500+ Jobs! Do THIS Instead…

In the video above, J.T. explains why applying to hundreds of jobs won’t help you get a job any faster.

If you are a job seeker, and are using this method of applying to as many jobs as you can, it’s time to stop. You’re probably not getting very many interviews, and there’s a reason for this. You don’t have a personal connection to any of these companies, and they know that. You’re not standing out in any way.

Instead, we suggest finding the top 20 companies you would love to work for. You need to be able to explain why you love each of these companies, you need to create a connection story. Once you have this connection story, it’s time to get it into the hands of real employees at these companies.

By just applying online, you’re not able to share this personal connection and you will most likely get tossed just like the hundreds of other applicants.

If you want to learn more about how to create a connection story and get that story into the hand of real people, Work It DAILY can help.
