Earning from online surveys in the country

Were you able to earn from online survey sites from your country before you came to the Philippines? Another way, are you a Filipino who wanted to earn real money online through answering surveys that offer payments in return? The short answer is: You cannot earn from online surveys while you are in the Philippines.

Not including the failures that an individual in the Philippines trying to do so may have experienced, listed here are the top reasons to support that statement.

Most online survey sites are scam sites

So you were able to find a survey site that is free to join? Before you can join them, they will definitely ask you to provide them your e-mail address (along with other personally-identifiable information such as real name, home address, contact number). That already makes them able to send spam messages to your e-mail address and share your contact information to telemarketers.

To look at the seemingly positive side, they (and anyone who bought your information from those scam sites) won't be able to send you advertisements to your mailbox or call your phone if you are in the Philippines and you *accidentally* gave out your contact details, because they won't want to pay for shipping just to send you their promotional materials.


Legitimate survey sites will likely not offer surveys in the Philippines

If you are a foreigner who came from another country and were earning cash from answering surveys before, there are big chances that you won't be able to continue it in the Philippines. Survey sites will generally track your current location, not the location from which you initially signed-up.

I myself had joined survey websites from here (in the Philippines), and my predictions were correct: There had been no surveys to take for at least a year.


Companies in the Philippines will not pay to ask surveys

Even if you took your meal in one of the top restaurants in the Philippines, the surveys or feedback forms that their crew will occasionally ask you to fill up will not give you cash, and seldom a discount coupon or free side item for your next meal.

Surveys that do not pay come not only from companies, but also from individuals who want to do research by asking for people's opinions. Again, there will be no incentive, not even the privilege of letting you know what other respondents like you have (really) given.




Perhaps you reached this page in an attempt to learn how to earn online. There are other ways to do it, but not by answering online surveys in the Philippines. To give an example, selling physical or digital products with the help of reputable companies online (which is possible from the Philippines) will simply make you earn money with less time and effort.
