My schedule is pretty hectic, can I do this whenever I want? Yes! That is probably the best part about surveys and why it's the easiest way for the average person to make some extra cash. It's perfect for everyone because you decide when and how much you want to "work" at any given time. You can do it at your own pace.
Each time you participate in a survey, focus group, or other paid opportunity, the particular company that is giving or sponsoring the opportunity is the one that will pay you.
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!
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!
Focus Groups are usually a more lengthly process - lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours or even longer. As with surveys, the compensation rises along with the participation necessary. Just remember, you'll always know the specifics up front and you pick the ones you like!
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.
