del.icio.usOfficial Greenfield Online "Head's Up" Thread - Post PTs, Invokes, and Good Surveys!
PLEASE READ MY POST BEFORE YOU GIVE IT THE THUMBS DOWN!!!
Now that I have your attention!
It really bothers me that every time I see somebody post a new thread about Greenfield it immediately earns a thumbs down rating. Those of us who like Greenfield (and I'm now one of them) need a place where we can post our finds without being flamed.
With that being said, please don't use this thread as a place to whine about how much you hate Greenfield. I know most of you hate Greenfield. There's another thread which seems to be dedicated to Greenfield complaints. Please post your concerns in that thread and let the rest of us limit this thread to the PTs, Invokes, and decent surveys that we find.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH GREENFIELD, HERE IS SOME BACKGROUND INFO:
Years ago, Greenfield Online was a great survey site. IIRC, it was actually the first "big" survey site. Greenfield thought an awful lot of themselves and eventually went downhill because of it. They stopped paying on most of their surveys. Worse yet, the ones which did pay would seemingly gather all the data that they needed (over 5-15 minutes), then post a DNQ message! Most of us got fed up with Greenfield and stopped doing their surveys.
I didn't do anything with Greenfield for about 2-3 years, but about a month ago somebody posted a thread here indicating that they changed and seemed to be better now. I decided to give them another chance and I have to agree with her...they are much better now.
Sure, there are still a LOT of "sweepstakes entry only" surveys, but it's no different than SurveySpot. Since most of you love SS, I'll make my comparisons to that company.
Like SS, most of Greenfield's surveys you will want to DNQ yourself at the first question (or just exit out if you don't like to DNQ yourself). If you think it looks like it might be a PT (e.g., 5-15 minutes estimated time and it's about food, pets, or household items), then give it a few minutes to feel it out before you DNQ yourself. Similar to SS, you can normally tell if an Invoke is involved because it will either tell you upfront that it's a 60+ minute survey *or* you'll get some questions early on about your operating system, graphics, etc.
Some of the Greenfield surveys pay pretty well now. They are, on average, the same or $1.00 less than the same surveys on SS. They have a lot of PTs. Their Invokes pay the same, or $5 less, than SS. Watch out for the Greenfield instant invokes...they try to pay you $5 for a 60-75 minute Invoke...those ones are ripoffs!
Greenfield pays MUCH faster than SS. It takes 4-6 weeks for most surveys on SS to post. It takes 2-3 weeks on average for Greenfield.
Overall, I still like SS better, but I no longer hate Greenfield. I've probably earned somewhere between $75 and $100 in the past month from Greenfield, plus a few PTs.
Now let's all play nice here...if you don't like Greenfield, then please post your concerns in the other thread and leave this one for the "Heads Up" posts.
