Most paid survey opportunities require that you are at least 18 years of age, but other than that there are no specific requirements. You do not need any special qualifications or skills.
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!
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.
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.
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!
What I can tell you is that I have personally registered with about 250 companies and I receive more survey invitations than I can handle. And there are a lot of people who make thousands of dollars per month from surveys and focus groups. It's entirely up to YOU!
