what did you do?

Edit: Read ur post again... my post just concerns email surveys and websites

Most of them will rip you off. I've signed on to a lot and 99% there's a catch. Even if they do pay you for surveys, they'll have like a policy that states that they only pay you after you have earned like $100 so I say don't trust those fuckers.

Market research is good and bad... I've done it a couple of times. You get paid like $50 or something for a couple of hours, all you have to do is answer questions on their product. Like, I went to one about deodorant, which was fascinating *rolls eyes*. They ask things like which smell do you prefer and what design is coolest and what kind of "image" it presents etc etc etc. Sometimes you get free samples at the end, which is cool.

Forgotten how I signed up in the first place, but once you have, you get put in their database and they know they can contact you for other market research stuff.

I've done market research twice since i signed up for one place (which was like 3 years ago). I think I signed up on their website (think it was www.feedbackplus.com.au) Answering the questions gets tedious cos u have to answer the same shit pretty much over and over (just for different items). I signed up to be a mystery shopper ages ago and i haven't received an offer once to go do something. :mad:
