Ok...so a friend got me into this. I work as an insurance underwriter as a day job but a buddy got me into doing focus groups, product testing for companies that are coming out with new products etc. Google focus groups in your area or search craigslist under ETC, Volunteers sections. Here are some that I have done in the last 3 months making almost 4 grans

new gillete razor-1 hour- 80 bucks
dog food shopping experience- 125 bucks
yahoo football game- 100 bucks
infant crying for dads(I lied) I dont have kids at Harvard U- 75 bucks
TD Banknorth changing its name to TD Bank, watched a bunch of new commercials, told em which ones I liked-100 bucks
fridays new frozen food sliders- 60 bucks to eat them
dunkin donuts bagels- 100 bucks
athletic shoes- 80 bucks

you can find a recruiter and there are tones of sites to sign up at and get into their databases...so easy...cash under the table

does it cost anything?

trytrytry · Aug 9, 2009

i actually know somebody who might be intersted in something like this...what exactly do you search for or sign up for?

gavin · Aug 9, 2009

no it doesnt cost anything, they are looking for people who are reliable and opinionated, just google the name of the closest city you are to, for me its boston, and then focus group after it and a ton of things will come up...i usually do 2 a week for an extra 150 a week...sometimes i get more but usually 2 a week

STACKSONDECK · Aug 9, 2009

ill be in boston can you pm me the ones you did. ill do them all in the week that im there

gavin · Aug 9, 2009

i mean they vary week to week, some weeks i only have 1 and its not like they are running all the time...the product may come out and they will have 30 people in to test something and talk about it and than thats it.... google mock juries too and you can be a part of a mock trial and get paid to give lawyers an idea of what people think about a case

So when you were being surveyed for TD Bank, did you tell them you liked the sound of Titty Bank the best?

I used to do one every 6 months.The best is when they overbook a study(which they always do)& cut you loose with pay.

Best focus group was a two day (4hour) study on music.It paid $260.All you had to do was listen to a song for 5-6 seconds & rate it on a scale.

Also did beer & vodka surveys too.They didn't pay that much though.

gavin · Aug 9, 2009

I have been overbooked as well. I always show up exactly when they begin and usually they take whoever is there ti hit quota for the study...then they just pay you for showing up!! the medical research ones are alright too, but im not a fan of the mri fmri ones like in dogs post...i hate being in those machines and they dont allow you to piss... i did one at harvard for people that cut themselves...i made a small insistion into my arm to participate and got paid like 200 bucks...it healed the next day :laugh:
