On the other hand, maybe you get busy with other things and don't have any time to do surveys for awhile. That's perfectly fine! It's not like there's a boss breathing down your neck, or you have to worry about getting fired. You can do surveys when it's convenient for YOU.
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.
Surveys are generally made up of anywhere from 20-50 questions, sometimes multiple choice and sometimes with space for you to add your personal comments, etc. In general, the more time it is expected to take to complete the survey, the more you will be compensated. Some take only 5 minutes!
Market research companies know that people like you and I are the lifeblood of their business. They are usually paid by large corporations to conduct surveys on their behalf, but without consumers like us to take their surveys they would be out of business in a hurry.
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.
Concerned you won't be eligible for many surveys because you live outside of the U.S.? That is usually not the case, but there's only one way to find out. If this is something you're interested in, we suggest you just give it a try and see how it goes. You have nothing to lose ...
