Hi everyone!

I'm looking for opinions on paid focus groups/market research. There are so many websites but I can't seem to work out who to trust!

If anyone has any recommendations on those that are worth signing up to, and those to avoid, that would be great!

    I've had a couple from Research Opinions before, alot of the online ones I've had before though have been sheer luck from survey sights.

    I registered with loads but have only ever been invited to one paid focus group.

    Personally, I think it's a waste of time. However, there were people at the focus group I went to who had been to loads and loads. I guess it's swings and roundabouts.

    Good luck.
