1. You may immediately sign in online with as many of the survey companies on our list as you choose to throughout the U.S. and, with any of the Focus Group companies in your local city.

  2. You will receive email requests to participate in various projects. These invitations will detail the project type (online survey or focus group) and the type of product, time and testing requirements, dates of the project, payment amount, etc. If you are interested in participating, you will be asked to fill out a brief screening survey to ensure that your demographic information (age, gender, interest, applicable experience with the product type, etc. - i.e. baby products, pet products, women's clothing, household tools, cars, etc.) is applicable to the particular survey or focus group. You only need to register for projects which interest you. If your information matches that of the particular survey or focus group you will be asked to complete the survey online or attend the focus group.

  3. Complete an online questionnaire from home for the surveys you'd like to participate in and/or attend the focus group for which you have been asked to participate. Some focus groups are actually held online as well.

  4. Surveys are usually conducted online but may be conducted via phone on rare occasion.

  5. Focus groups are usually conducted in office settings.

  6. You will receive payment for online survey completion usually several days after the survey has been completed. You may also be offered other valuable products for your feedback as well. However, though some of the companies on our list that conduct online surveys offer high value products (t.v.'s, cell phones for example) to participants, each company also offers cash payment options for survey participation as well.

  7. Payment for focus groups are usually received immediately upon completion of the session via cash or check. Cash is usually the only available method of compensation for participation.
