focus groups
« on: August 28, 2021, 11:40:02 am »
focus groups saw on youtube that you can make good money. some are in person those pay the best. 100.00 or more. some are online did one took a couple hours and got 125.00. . tried to get in on others but didnt qualify. liked one where you go to a supermarket and take pics of various things and give your impression of what you see. couldnt do cause no smartphone.

I belong to one where you do taste tests but I'm never able to do it because I work weekdays when they have them.  I should look into more.

I have been asked about several, have not looked in to them much.  Always afraid they they would take more time then they say.

I've tried to get on some of these most do fail because they fill up quickly. Only try for the online ones myself because I don't really care to go in person. But always up for the shopping ones if they come up and i do get selected. There a lot of sites that promote focuss groups . Once in a while surveys on here offer online ones or shopping ones. Really hit or miss but if you don't try you will never get an opportunity

I have done some. You really did to wait as it's hard to get on them and they have very specific times, during weekdays primarily that you need to carve out time for. Agree that they can be a lot of fun as they go deep on certain topic. I did one on solar panels as I recently installed them, which was a lot of fun hearing from other participants.

Last focus group I was a part of was a tasty one. A bacon focus group had 7 days to get three different types of bacon which was specified by the survey company doing it. Video or take pictures of you getting the bacon the price and such and the same with you fixing it with the name of the bacon in the picture. Was a nice easy 100 incentive. Just did this last month

For once you can't post links of other sites. Two you either get them in surveys and get lucky and get one of those or not. But you could also sign up for focussforward they do give out a lot of chances to do those types of studies just its not easy tobe apart of one

You can buy a used Smartphone for less than $100 and break even after your first focus group (if that's what you want to do). You don't even need to hook it up to service to take pictures and upload them with Wi-Fi. Even if they required you to have service, the one I use is only $6 a month.

Focus groups are pretty good if you can get one. I have not been on Fusion cash for so many years now. I do other sites that make me more money for my time. You may remember me if you have been with Fusion Cash for a few years.
Check this new site out Freecash.com/r/2439241994 It is worth it.

I'd love to do a focus group.  I've done several product testings this year though.

They really do fill up quickly and the availability varies by city.

I've tried to get on some of these most do fail because they fill up quickly. Only try for the online ones myself because I don't really care to go in person. But always up for the shopping ones if they come up and i do get selected. There a lot of sites that promote focuss groups . Once in a while surveys on here offer online ones or shopping ones.

Have you cashed out on it yet?
