In the case of certain focus groups you may be paid by the hour, but generally you are paid a set amount for participating in a survey, focus group, or other opportunity.
There are plenty of survey opportunities for just about everyone. It doesn't really matter if you are male or female, live in the U.S. or not, are a college student or have a full-time job, etc. There is no one "profile" that regularly qualifies for more surveys than the rest.
The surveys are generally intended to get your honest opinions on various topics, such as what kind of products you buy, why you choose one product over another, what you think of certain products and how much they cost, how much you spend on various products, etc.
There are NO limits to the number of surveys or focus groups you can participate in. Generally speaking, the number of surveys you'll take depends on the number of companies you register with, the amount of information you provide them, and your personal "profile." Of course, a lot of surveys are very general and just about anyone can take them.
A "Focus Group" is a group of individuals selected and assembled by researchers to discuss and comment on, from personal experience, the topic that is the subject of the research. Just like surveys, you simply share your opinions and discuss them with others.
Have an extra 30 minutes in the morning before heading off to work? Do you have a few hours available in the afternoon while the kids are out playing? Or maybe it's 2am and for some reason you can't sleep? These are all perfect times to do surveys and get paid!
