How do you go about getting on a market research panel?

Question

I've heard about days when TV, radio stations and brand names, put you on a panel and pay and accomodate you to take surveys and to give your response to different ideas. I just want to know if theres a newsletter or anything that I could sign up to, to let me know about these events and find out if they want me.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I have been doing online surveys for around a year now  & in searching for a decent guide, I have FINALLY found one that offers a detailed look into legit free paid online surveys here:

http://guide-online-surveys.com/

I believe this website will help you in your endeavors. The video tutorials can help ease the process of entering into paid survey sites. They also have proof of payment pictures to show that these sites are not scams.

*the key is not to just sign up for one site and expect loads of riches, but to sign up for a few and have the smaller checks add up*

*if you ever have to pull out a credit card, its not worth it*

Answer 2

Sorry, but I don't believe there are any quick internet fixes to earn real money and anyone who offers you this is probably a spammer who will make a lot of money from selling on your personal details.  However, if you want to work for a market research company, this is a bona fide industry, and you can get a list of companies from the Market Research Association UK or the yellow pages, and you then contact them individually about what they offer and what opportunities there are for homeworkers or members of panels.  Many of them recruit staff for telephone surveys, mystery shopping or data entry so you may have to serve this apprenticeship first before they could be flexible enough to give you home-based work.

Leon,

Try checking with these companies: Global Market Insight, Greenfield Online, Survey Sampling International.

They are always recruiting panel members for surveys.
