When and how you're compensated depends on the specific opportunity you participate in. Some will pay instantly online via PayPal, others will mail you a check, etc. Just remember, you'll always know the exact details up front, and you pick the ones you like. Once you get going you could have a steady stream of cash and free stuff all the time!
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.
Most companies will pay you cash, but some will give you free products, gift certificates, a chance to win bigger prizes, or "points" to be redeemed for products, cash, etc.
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.
Focus groups are often held online via special communication or chat systems, but they also take place in the "real" world as well. If you are interested in participating in these types of focus groups, we show you how - and you can often earn up to $150 per hour for doing so!
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.
