Surveys are an easy way for you to make money.  We’re all consumers who go shopping for information, products and services to fit our daily lives. The businesses who create our favorite things to buy need customer feedback to sale their best stuff! Market research companies step in as a third party in an effort to connect the dots between buyers and sellers. Together programs are made to organize customer feedback and share it with the companies who need it most. Market research is often formed as reward programs that give cashback, points and more for repeat customers or referral business. Companies are very interested in the opinion of potential customers. Here’s how it works: They partner with research firms to learn how consumer’s feel about their product or service. By doing so, companies figure out what types of people buy. The process is simple. For example, Company A. has a new product idea, so they hire a market research firm to ask large groups of people how they like it. The market research company has a collection of questions they ask to narrow down what clients prefer Brand X. The Market Research firm handles recruiting and paying qualified participants to collect this data through clinical trials, focus groups, paid surveys and mystery shopping. You can earn thousands of points and thousands dollars by participating in clinical trials, focus groups, paid surveys and becoming a mystery shopper.

How To Earn Cash With Market Research
How To Earn Cash With Market Research
During your time on the internet, you’ve probably noticed online invitations to complete surveys. It’s true many companies will pay you to share your opinions! To do so, this may involve: participation in focus groups, testing new products/services, watching new commercials, TV shows or movies trailers, taking online surveys and more! It’s been about 15 years since I started participating in paid market research studies. My first experience was joining a focus group. I discovered the opportunity by responding to a print advertisement. The Ad itself was pretty generic. It said to make X amount of money call their phone number.When I called the number, it turned out to be a local market research firm. Honestly I was skeptical because I wasn’t familiar with market research. So I began asking the phone rep questions, like what type of company it was and why they were paying research participants. In short, she explained that national brands paid their company to get information about consumer’s habits and opinions. During that conversation, she asked me a few questions about my age, location, race and income then said I qualified for the next phase and that I would be paid for participating in a hour session with others at their physical location. Afterwards I went to the scheduled appointment and was paid cash! Since then, I’ve been rewarded for testing new products/services, watching new commercials, TV shows, movies trailers, other focus groups and taking online surveys! By doing so, I have earned points, savings, checks and cash. My highest pay was $600 from a week long focus group study. Next was earning $175 cash for a 2 hour focus group. The third highest was earning nearly $200 cash from home for a long term media study. So if you are serious about earning extra cash from home, get our Quick Start Career Guide or follow on social media! I’ll be sharing new ways for you to get paid.
