Getting Paid To Watch TV

I have taken a lot of different types of surveys. But recently I have taken ones that involve getting paid to watch television.

Twice I have been asked to watch the Democratic debates for PSB surveys. My profile shows that I am a voter and registered as a Democrat which I imagine was part of the qualifications for this particular survey. Anyway, both times I watched the Democrats tell me why they should be President. Both debates lasted about one hour and 30 minutes. Then I received a phone call from PSB, and was asked various questions about the debates and some of the individual candidates. This took about 5 minutes. A couple of weeks after each debate I received a check for $10 per survey. I know that is not a lot of money for such a long period of time. But here is the deal - I was going to watch the debates anyway! AND I love being able to voice my opinions in issues that really matter. Hopefully I will qualify again.

Then I qualified for a survey from Survey Spot which had me watch an hour long TV drama. For confidentiality reasons, I can't say the show's title. But it was one I hadn't seen before. After viewing the show I went online and took a survey that took about 15 minutes. I was asked about characters and plot and if I liked the direction the show was taking. All and all, it was fun to do. Got paid $5 for it, which is very little for the total time, but sometimes the enjoyment of the survey itself compensates for the lower hourly wage.
