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!
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!
There are plenty of survey opportunities for just about everyone. It doesn't really matter if you are male or female, live in the U.S. or not, are a college student or have a full-time job, etc. There is no one "profile" that regularly qualifies for more surveys than the rest.
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!
Many people report taking surveys right away - anywhere from a few hours to a few days after they start registering. But keep in mind that many companies only send out a few surveys per month, so it will usually be a few weeks before you start getting a lot of surveys.
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.
