Short Tasks.com - A Review!

I found a review of Short Tasks.com. I found it quite interesting and as I am a member of this site I found that I pretty much agreed with this review.

Short Task.com is a site where you can perform tasks like viewing someone else's blog or answer a few website questions and then you will get paid for the task(s) that you have done.

Now as I stated above I am a member of this site but so far I haven't earned anything.

One of the things that really bothers me about the "tasks" is that the pay is so very small! Very rarely will you find a task that is paying $1 or more. Most of them are offering payment of less than 50 cents. But it is interesting to see how much people are willing to pay for tasks - which I think is quite small!

I received a $50 payment from a blog sponsor and that is much more lucrative than the payment offerings of Short Task.com.

However I'll let you be the judge for yourself. You can read the review by clicking here.

I Don't Think That I Will Be Joining This Site!

I actually saw a site online where you had to make a minimum of $10,000 before you could "cash out" your money!

I kind of thought that that was ridiculous and this is certainly a site that I don't even want to take part in!

"Get A Free Dell Laptop"

I got this email saying that I could get a free dell laptop if I simply filled out a survey.

I got curious about this figuring that this sounded too good to be true! I went to the website and - of course - they ask you for your general contact information like your name, address and phone number. But where it really bothered me was when the site asked for my social security number! That was a definite "No - No as far as I was concerned.

I investigated a little further and there is indeed a survey, several in fact that you are required to fill out. They ask you basic questions like what kinds of things are you interested in, are you having any debt or credit card problems, are you having problems paying your mortage, etc..... And depending on how you fill out your survey they will even ask you if you are interested in finding out more information about student loans and government grants!

So after I filled out about 4 or 5 different surveys the next screen said that I would be eligible to win a free dell laptop if I simply completed 2 of the offers that they had listed. The only problem with these "offers was that you were required to give credit card information - even for the supposedly free offers!

So that was where I stopped! I didn't want to take part in that "free offer".

A Word Of Advice!

From what I have been reading online about doing paid surveys, one of the pieces of advice is to NOT pay to join!

So far all of the paid survey sites that I belong to, I haven't paid one single cent to join any of them!

Sign Up Bonuses?

Well I guess you can call me naive but I thought that when I saw some of the signup bonuses that these kinds of sites were offering I thought that they would be deposited directly into one's Paypal account but I was wrong.

It seems that when you get a signup bonus that money is added to your account. You don't get the money right away!

Getting your money from these sites after you have been credited could take as much as one month.

Thumbs Down!

One of the things that I don't like about these paid surveys is that they will ask you for your credit card information! This is a big "red flag" for me!

So far I have only had 1 bad experience with a company charging on my credit card and then not delivering what they were supposed to! (I haven't decided yet whether or not I'm going to tell you the name of the company yet).

So for right now I am definitely not going to answer a survey from a company that wants my credit card information!
