How to earn from market research - MSE Team Blog Discussion

MSE_Kelvin

If you’re willing to give your views on anything from Fantasy Football to chocolate spread or luxury cars, you could walk away with £50-£150 from taking part in a market research focus group. The best bit is you don't need any special skills or knowledge - you just need to be yourself.

These are usually based in big cities, which is the only problem for those not very near any.

Thank you for the read, I really should apply for more of the focus groups.  I've taken part in several over the years and they pay really well, often cash in hand.  My favourite was 2 hours discussing/testing  drinks such as Innocent in Manchester for which I received £100.  I am signed up to several mentioned in Jenny's blog and a few others besides but I often forget to apply/respond.  Thanks for the renewed enthusiasm.

Initial Experiences

I've recently signed up to the recommended focus groups; here are my experiences

• signing up to Angelfish and Bunnyfields: they don't recognise you pressing the Submit button in Firefox, but do in Edge. Who tested your web pages guys!
  
• they collect demographic information at sign up
• some allow you to search the website for opportunities, some don't
• you will get emails about demographically irrelevant opportunities
• in responding to opportunities you will have to fill in your demographic information all over again! Every time!

There is a whole thread running on prolific. Generally it is very good for small earnings, the average reward is probably under £1, but it all adds up.
You need to enter a lot of data when you register, but prolific guarantee that once you are accepted on a survey you won't be thrown out on the basis of further demographics.
