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!
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.
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.
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 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!
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.
