So, how many of you have done survey and get paid for it? Or to join a focus group to discuss certain products or services, and get paid for it? There were many websites that provide such income incentives opportunities. Have any of you done any of it before? Please share your experience, and give us some advise. Thanks!

I've joined 2 survey groups and 1 focus group. Withte survey groups I qualify for very little surveys. I'm also a single and have no children which may play into why I don't qualify. The focus group I've joined I have yet to qualify for 1 paid focus group and have belonged to for 7 months.

But do they have a good pay? How much did you make from them?

I've never done a focus group but I do paid surveys every day. Some send me money into paypal, some send me checks and some I get paid with amazon gift cards. I've never kept track of how much each site pays me. When I first joined up on these sites I didn't get alot of surveys to take. I think the longer you are with them and respond to the surveys they send, the more surveys they do send. I also enjoy sampling products from many of them. I've received everything from dog and cat food to yesterday I got a frozen pizza to try. Not only do they pay for the initial survey but after I've tried the product I get paid again to tell what I thought of it. The only advice I know to give you is always answer when they send you a survey.

I agree, I've been doing paid surveys for years and I've noticed that I have gotten more surveys over the years. I'm single with no children either and that does take me out of alot of surveys, but the extra money I do get isn't bad. The best thing to do is to keep your information updated and the quicker you respond, the better chance you'll have of qualifying for a survey I've learned.

Saros Research is the best one to join IF you are in the UK - they are UK only - and place hundreds of people in paid focus groups every month, I and lots of people I know have earned from this. Typically its £40 cash for a 2 hour discussion group, + you also get sandwiches etc, sometimes products and samples to try. My friend took part in one about his work (he is an IT manager) and got paid £150! So if you are in the UK definitely sign up with them. You can only do a few, its not regular, but when you get selected for one it is GOOD money!
