Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• internet

1. Every day hundreds of posts across the country for paid market research are posted on Craigslist. These listings normally pay between $35-$100/hour to get your opinion or opinions of your family members. Paid market research studies are some times very targeted at a specific population and sometimes open for all, for example today I found one that paid $50 for French fry testing. As long as you are diligent about searching for paid market research opportunities you are liking to make money and qualify.

2. Sign onto Craigslist and choose the major city you live in (or closest one if you live nearby). There are two main places you fill find paid market research opportunities on Craiglist - ETC and Part Time. Both of these sections are located at the bottom of the jobs column.

3. Choose one to start with to find paid market research to make extra money. Scroll through the listings and look for paid market research. You will likely see many medical posts for medical studies (which also pay well) as well as lists with questions or descriptions of the type of market the paid market research is looking for. For example, you may see - "Mothers of children under 6 years old?", "Do you like French fries?", or "Study on cleaning products used in the home?" Try to find postings where you fit the description. The click on the posting and see what you need to do to qualify for paid market research. Usually you will have to fill out a short survey to see if you qualify for their paid market research. To find out how much you will get paid for your market research look at the bottom of the post where it says compensation.
