Unemployed Due To Social Anxiety

If you suffer from almost any form of social anxiety disorder odds are your job and income has also taken a drastic fall. In severe cases of social anxiety most sufferers simply quit their job and have to depend on other sources of income through their spouse or government assistance. Not only does this situation greatly effect the financial income of the sufferer but also makes their social anxiety feel worse due to the feeling that they have failed. However, there are other means of legitimate online work for people with social anxiety disorders. This subject is difficult to approach due  to the amount of "work from home" scams that frequent the internet. Unfortunately this is where the vast majority of severe anxiety sufferers turn to for employment.

If you typed in the words "home based work" into any of the major search engines you can expect millions of results. Almost all of these work at home options have some form of catch attached to them. If you have lost your job due to severe social anxiety disorder the last thing you need is to waste what little money you have left on a product that fails to deliver what it claims. One of the most popular options for working at home is internet surveys. Most of these survey programs will have you pay for a membership fee which can cost $20-$100. Once you have paid for the online survey program they will grant you access to their members area where you are able to select the surveys you wish to take. Most if not all of these internet survey programs claim to offer you $1 all the way to $75 for filling out a single survey.

The Catch

Once you have gained access to their members area you may find that there are hardly any surveys available for you to take or the surveys that were there have already been snatched up by other members. The real reason behind the lack of available online surveys is this, you are only allowed to take part in surveys in which you qualify for. The surveys that are available to you will depend on everything from your height and race to the color of your kitchen sink. How do they get this personal information? When you click on a survey that interests you and would like to participate in the survey program will redirect you to that companies web site where you are expected to fill out a few personal questions before beginning the survey. If you do not meet the requirements you will simply get a message stating "sorry you do not qualify for this online survey".

Are Surveys Worth The Investment?

Well yes and no, but mostly no. The odds that you will be able to fill out one online survey for $75 are slim to begin with. Combined with the fact you must qualify for any and all surveys you probably will not earn back your initial investment anytime soon. If you are still willing to give online surveys a shot try Greenfield, they are free to join and will give you a good idea what to expect if you do decide to purchase such a service down the road.
