MAKING MONEY WITH FOCUS GROUPS

Ok. So I started a website called MoneyMakingHousewife.com. This website is a work in progress and I hope to build it with the help of all of you. I’m learning and gathering information as I go.

The first section of the website will be called Focus Groups.

FOCUS GROUPS:
A friend of mine first told me about focus groups about 8 months ago. Since then I’ve made $2,175 with only 18hr of work.

How It Works:
A focus group is a targeted group of consumers who are brought together for an in-depth discussion on a certain topic. Businesses and organizations rely on focus groups to obtain feedback on their products and services.

The Good:
They pay a lot!!!! The biggest amount I’ve made in a focus group was $300, for two hours of work. The least I’ve made was $50 for two hours of my time. Sometimes the focus group is on toys and your small children are asked to come and play with the toys. They will pay for your child’s time or give them the toys they played with.

The Bad:
Here is the trick part; you have to qualify. After receiving an e-mail or a phone call, you must answer a few screener questions. These questions are made to find the right people for the right focus groups. I can’t tell you how many times I did not answer the questions how they wanted, and did not qualify for the focus group. This can get very frustrating, because you think of the money you could have earned if you answered the questions another way. The best advice I can give you is to enter as many focus group databases as you can.

More Information:

For a list of data bases for focus groups visit www.moneymakinghousewife.com.

I tried to come up with as many as I could. However, it is always a good idea to do a local for companies in your state and county. Of course any information you may have, to improve the flow of information for everyone, is most welcome.
