Seth , aka the Survey Plumber , is going

0:02

to drop tons of gems today , but before we

0:04

get started , I want people to realize why

0:06

they're watching this episode . So I'm going to ask you this question

0:08

how much money have your students

0:11

made doing paid surveys today ?

0:13

Well over $300,000 in a year , well

0:15

over $300,000 .

0:16

So obviously we're going to be talking about doing paid surveys and

0:18

by the end of this episode , I want you

0:20

guys to come back and watch and be like you know what

0:23

, seth Anthony Janoka ? I made this much

0:25

money doing paid surveys . So , seth

0:27

, thank you for being here .

0:28

Thank you , no , thank you for having me .

0:30

Those first students that you had when you first launched

0:32

. Let's talk about that part of your journey . So

0:34

how long were you working with them ? Like what was their results

0:36

while you were building with them ? Because you're building

0:38

a business , while you're helping them

0:41

make money on these , on the surveys

0:43

, and then we'll get to like I created a group chat .

0:45

Yeah , so that's how I started my community . I created

0:47

a group chat , I created an email thread and I had weekly

0:49

calls . So what I was doing was I was

0:51

going through all my websites and

0:54

going through all my notes and having one on one

0:56

coaching sessions with people , so like I'm

1:02

gonna sit minutes and

1:04

I'm going to teach you everything and then , if you need additional

1:06

help , you can come in my community weekly

1:09

group chat . All that hit

1:11

me on the side email me , people were reaching

1:13

out to me all kind of ways . I literally

1:15

fell into it as like a side hustle

1:17

to delete the debt and

1:19

then just following , like you guys who just

1:21

created a course based on something that

1:23

you knew how to do .

1:25

And .

1:25

I'm like I don't know how to teach people

1:27

, but I'm like , as long as I can replicate my

1:29

knowledge to other people and get them the same

1:31

results , then it just kept working

1:33

.

1:33

And I think the biggest thing that Anthony always says is

1:35

people just want to get to where you are

1:37

. So sometimes before we start a business

1:39

, we think we need to know every single piece

1:42

of the business and it's like , not

1:44

necessarily , if you can get me to this

1:46

point , then I may find someone else to get me to another point

1:48

, so on and so forth . Or maybe when

1:50

you escalate I can follow you there too . So

1:53

people just want to get to where you are sometimes

1:55

.

1:55

I just think you don't have to reinvent the wheel

1:57

Again . Like I was saying earlier , just starting

2:00

, I

2:03

think people are scared to start . It's just

2:05

like what's hard .

2:06

What about friends and family ? Has anything changed

2:09

there ? Have you surrounded yourself with different

2:11

people ? What are they saying ?

2:13

when you started , I think the biggest thing were

2:15

people didn't realize how much money you can

2:17

make from paid surveys . I think a

2:19

big part of the little bit

2:21

of success I've had so far is that I'm

2:24

opening people's eyes like listen , like

2:26

you don't have to , like work

2:28

800 jobs and start three businesses to make

2:30

extra money . I have students

2:32

who've made a thousand dollars in a month from paid

2:34

surveys and what's

2:36

key and I think you guys can attest to this is

2:38

like time and money becomes one in the same

2:41

as you get older . So the key

2:43

with paid surveys is it doesn't take

2:45

a lot of time . So it's like if I work a

2:47

part-time job making $20

2:49

an hour and I give them 10

2:51

hours , that's $200 . After

2:54

Uncle Sam get his cut , I'm probably taking home what $140

2:58

?

2:58

I don't know in New York .

2:59

Let's just say $150 for conversational purposes

3:02

. I just gave somebody 10 hours of my

3:04

time for $150 . Yeah

3:06

, and paid surveys are paying $200

3:09

for 90 minutes .

3:10

Yeah .

3:10

And that allows me to get my other time

3:12

to do other stuff . Yeah , honestly

3:14

speaking , what also helped was me doing surveys

3:17

while I ran the business One , and

3:19

I'm going to say this on camera too you should never , ever

3:21

, ever , learn something from somebody who's still

3:23

not doing it . What do you mean Like

3:25

? So I wouldn't recommend

3:28

learning surveys from me if I'm not doing surveys

3:30

anymore .

3:30

Yeah , so you , andy , says all the time

3:32

too , and I don't agree , you don't think so . No

3:34

, why not ? He's his biggest thing

3:36

is you know , we still run the cleaning

3:38

business , blah , blah , blah , and I'm like , but if

3:41

I didn't , I had six , seven years in the

3:43

business . I know the business still , but businesses

3:45

change businesses do change , markets change

3:47

, I agree . But that doesn't mean I don't got the knowledge

3:49

that's true , but that

3:52

is my , we have that discussion all the time , so let me ask you this , alright

3:54

? No , that's a good point .

3:55

Let me ask you this you got ten years in experience

3:57

ten years experience in the cleaning , but

4:00

your last year of experience is 10 years

4:02

ago . Would you hire me ? Probably not

4:05

. You know what I'm saying . 10 years ago , yeah , that's a big difference

4:07

. You know what I'm saying . But you got to stay in the loop with

4:09

things , so I still do surveys because I want

4:11

to know what I'm teaching people . I

4:14

want to know that my concept still

4:16

works .

4:16

Yeah , I got to ask you this question If you don't want to answer

4:18

it . It's how much

4:20

have you made doing paid surveys ? You

4:22

should have your number . Oh , my number , yeah , of course

4:24

. In what range ? A year

4:26

two years .

4:27

I want to know total , oh , total that you were able

4:29

to track . I guess , yeah , yeah , for sure I know you're not going to track

4:31

when you were 15 . No , this year , this year , oh

4:33

, we're going a year , okay , 2024

4:35

.

4:42

but that only took me and one canceled on me , I think , 7 hours

4:44

so 1107

4:47

hours .

4:47

Right last year I did 5500

4:49

in 47 hours that's

4:52

when I started keeping track , so you're tracking your hours , so now you see how

4:55

much you get paid hourly . Yeah , for sure that's important

4:57

, so that's an extra $5,000 that

5:00

you're able to make in a year .

5:02

What's the hourly rate on that ? It was like $100 an hour

5:04

or something like that . Right , right exactly .

5:05

But if you think about 47 hours , that's

5:08

one week of work .

5:10

One week of work . You work 48 hours but you know you go to

5:12

work and you don't even make that much . I

5:14

do not make $5,500 a week

5:16

I'll tell you

5:18

that much you don't make that much

5:20

a week .

5:20

It's just crazy . I don't make that in the two-page .

5:23

Now , when people watch this episode

5:25

, they're like all right , Seth , we know that you've done well

5:27

, we know what your students do . How do they ? What

5:29

game can we give them today ? So that , all right , I want

5:31

to take action from this episode and

5:33

go start making money today . So if somebody's ground

5:36

zero watching this episode , okay , I know his story

5:38

, I understand it . But I want to know where

5:40

do do I start making money to save from surveys ? What

5:42

can we give away ?

5:42

I'm going to steal a line from you what

5:44

is your why ?

5:45

Okay , what is your why ? So you

5:48

said , start with a bill .

5:49

Yeah , Something like that . No , I wouldn't say start with a bill

5:51

, but it's just like again .

5:52

His why at the time was just a phone bill , but

5:58

for somebody else to make a Like

6:00

.

6:00

A lot of people do surveys and then they stop

6:02

and it's like oh because , oh

6:05

, I want extra money , because I want to go to Trinidad

6:07

.

6:07

I want extra money for this .

6:09

It's just like I have students who

6:11

do surveys for different reasons

6:14

, so just figure out what your reason is

6:16

. So some was like yo .

6:18

What's a typical reason you'll see A vacation

6:20

, a credit card bill .

6:21

Extra money is just like yo I'm going to take

6:23

care of my outside because we all

6:25

outside . Outside is expensive Drinks , food

6:28

, uber , blah blah . It's expensive , so I want

6:30

to take care of my outside . Some people are like yo I got to

6:32

start taking care of my mom . So a little bit of extra money , that's an extra

6:34

$400 . I'm

6:41

going to just,000 a month . My

6:43

highest student made $15,000

6:46

last year .

6:47

Wow , they was working it , they

6:50

was working the surveys .

6:51

I'm saying I mean , if it's working , you got to work

6:53

it , I can work it

6:55

.

6:55

If you work , how about that ?

6:57

I can work it , but that's a good amount , and surveys

6:59

is , like you know , from your computer

7:01

, so paid surveys is something

7:03

that anybody can do as long as you have a phone and

7:05

a computer .

7:06

All right , so we got that . We got our why . I

7:08

would say our why is , let's say , I got a credit card

7:10

bill . My credit card bill is like , let's

7:12

say , about $250 , $300 a month . Mm-hmm

7:15

, where will we start there ?

7:19

That is you learning a side

7:21

hustle to develop income to take

7:23

care of additional bills ? Again

7:25

, it started with me and a phone bill , but now people

7:28

make $500 , $600 and they want it to

7:30

take care of their car note or

7:32

take care of whatever excess

7:34

bills come up . I know my last

7:36

couple grocery runs has been surveys , so

7:39

it's like all right , alright , I just made $2.50 Trader

7:41

Joe's , you know what I'm saying . So it's just

7:43

like and groceries are expensive because

7:46

in my experience I find that you can tackle

7:48

your bills , you can plan ahead , but it's

7:50

always like this came up or

7:52

the miscellaneous stuff . It's

7:54

never the rent that kills you it's never

7:57

the rent that kills you .

7:58

It's like yo .

8:00

I had to go get my arm checked and

8:02

my insurance didn't cover it , so I had to pay an extra

8:04

$300 . And then my mom needed $200

8:07

. And now my check engine blinking

8:09

.

8:10

Apple still want their $299

8:12

. The stores are fighting for my life . She's like we

8:15

get charged child Apple , Child Applebee

8:17

.

8:17

You know what I'm saying so , it's always the excess

8:19

stuff . So I think paid surveys are perfect

8:21

for people who one run into those extra

8:24

bills , but more so like people

8:26

who want to get ahead . So it's easy to

8:29

come home to a check $300 in

8:31

the mail . It's like all right , I could save

8:33

this or this could take care of my

8:35

family , like you know what I'm saying . So

8:44

it's really about like , what's the reason you want to make extra money ? Like , is it just for a vacation

8:46

? Because once the vacation's over and it's like , all right , I paid for this , I hustle , I didn't do it again , do I'm away

8:48

for my next vacations ? Like everybody's motive is a little different , but

8:50

one thing you need to know is , like time

8:52

and money too . I make this program

8:55

very seamless , so that you're only

8:57

doing this maybe half hour , 45

8:59

minutes a day . Very

9:02

seamless , so that you're only doing this maybe half hour , 45 minutes a day , and I think that's

9:04

time that everybody has to be on a computer or scrolling your phone . Listen

9:06

you scroll in Instagram . You're going to hit

9:08

refresh eight times your last three

9:10

posts . You complaining about money . You're on Twitter

9:13

. You're checking your ex's tweets . He's not checking

9:15

yours . He or she is not checking yours . I

9:17

got a solution for both problems . Use your

9:19

social media , head to my website

9:21

and start doing paid surveys wwwthesurveyplugcom

9:25

. You can make over $100 an hour

9:27

. I have students who have made up to $15,000

9:30

in a year from paid surveys . Get

9:33

out of Justin LA Boy's comments . Get

9:35

out the shade room . Start doing

9:37

surveys . Wasting your time on social

9:39

media and all these other platforms . You could be applying

9:41

to surveys online , making hundreds of dollars

9:43

an hour .

9:44

Start now surveyplugcom and

9:47

so is there any challenges with the survey that

9:49

you're um doing ?

9:50

surveys , I will . The biggest challenge that I

9:52

tell everybody is that it's tedious . So

9:55

you're constantly like applying , you

9:57

know , repeating the same information . So

10:00

that's the biggest challenge . And then sometimes

10:02

you don't get selected . But because surveys

10:04

pay so well , you don't have to get selected

10:07

100 times . So

10:09

my boy just got a $400

10:11

survey yesterday . He don't get picked again

10:14

for the month . He made $400 this

10:16

month and he still has the rest of the year

10:18

.

10:18

You know what I'm saying .

10:19

So , like I'm scheduled for a $300

10:21

survey next month that's online , and

10:23

I have one in person next week for

10:25

$100 . So I'm scheduling

10:28

this around my clock Like , all right

10:30

, do this online , $100 there

10:32

, go , do something else . So I think the gift with surveys

10:34

is that it's not time consuming

10:37

and it's something that could fit into your

10:39

schedule , whereas you know , as business owners , you

10:41

want the clock all day long

10:44

.

10:44

So appreciate my guy , survey Plug , being

10:46

here . Seth man , it's been a great conversation . Let

10:49

the people know where they can find you , where they

10:51

10:53

10:57

that .

11:32

Yeah , so Is there one question you

11:34

wish we would have asked that we didn't ? Anything that

11:36

you need to make sure to share

11:38

, I don't

11:41

know . That's to put you on the spot .

11:43

Question yeah that is One thing you want to get off your

11:45

chest , that we didn't ask , or

11:47

is important for the audience .

11:52

I don't know .

11:52

Leave them with a word of wisdom or something

11:54

. That's fine . We'll go with that Listen one

12:01

income days are over .

12:01

I'm gonna just keep it real one income days are over . You need a side hustle . I'm not even saying that

12:03

because it's the survey plug . I'm saying because

12:06

you need a side hustle . One income days are over

12:08

. If you're not interested in starting a business

12:10

, definitely start something that could create

12:12

additional revenue for

12:15

you definitely

12:17

have something outside your nine to 5 because , as

12:20

you see today , the 9 to 5

12:22

is not safe . I'm not making that up .

12:25

People get laid off .

12:26

Companies are closing , but if you're the boss

12:28

and you're the owner and you're calling the shots , as

12:31

I've been telling my friend the other day don't wait for a raise

12:33

, make one .

12:35

And on that note , don't

12:37

wait for a raise . And , on that note , don't

12:39

wait for a raise , make one . That's a ball .
