Site is much like others in the business, but its quality rates it a “D.”
For those who are engaged in taking online surveys, there’s a new opportunity that’s recently entered the jammed field.
The name of the new online survey site is SurveyTouch (surveytouch.com). However, the company that is promoting the survey panel is not new. Cint (cint.com) is a privately owned software company based in Stockholm, Sweden with has offices in Europe, Asia and North America. You’ve probably seen “cint” in other online surveys you’ve received (they send out surveys to many other survey sites – a common practice among marketing/data collection companies). The roots of the company dates back to 2005 and now boasts more than 10 million panelists in more than 50 countries.
I didn’t so much find SurveyTouch as much as it found me. I got an email invitation to join the panel, which means they probably got my contact information through another panel I belong too (and you thought your information was secure and private?). I’ve been using it for a few weeks and so far I’m not impressed.
I Grade It A “D”
SurveyTouch works pretty much like any other panel. You take surveys, you get paid a few cents or as much as a few dollars, and you can cash in once you get to a certain amount of money. However, thus far I’ve not been overwhelmed by the number of surveys I’ve been invited to take and successfully completing them is a high hurdle indeed.
I’ve rated the site a “D” because of the above reasons, but also because it doesn’t seem to function particularly well. Trying to navigate around the site to find information is challenging to say the least. Either the company isn’t monitoring its website or its still in the early phases of getting the bugs out. Either way, I’d say avoid the site for now, unless you have nothing else to do with your life – something us online survey takers couldn’t possibly identify with, right?
