How to make money with a market research job

Have you ever been wandering the shopping mall and had someone stop and ask you if you would like to take part in a market research survey? Market research and advertising is big business today. There are people asking questions in election polls over the phone, stopping viewers outside movie theatres and even giving away free products on commercial TV, if you simply call their 800 number and tell them what you liked or didn't like about their candidate, food product or commericial advertising - and these people will pay some serious money for your responses!

Pinecone research, formerly Acorn, does market research surveys on-line. You can make money and receive free products for doing 10 minute surveys on everything from cereal to furniture polish. I found out about this through Consumer Opinion Services (the market researchers at malls and grocery stores). If you go to Pinecone's home page, you will find a toll free 800 number to call to get started. Your first on-line survey, about you, will pay five dollars in cash. Once you are in the system as a surveyor, they pay you $5 by check for each survey. You also may receive free products, anything from shampoo to cereal to try out at home. These researchers are serious about the questions. Based upon your answers, they will change the product, the packaging, the price, or even the advertising campaign.

Pinecone's web site is specifically formatted to your computer equipment at sign-up even if you are a WEBTV user, so the product displays and questions are easy to read and respond to in a hurry. One note of caution however, you must have a working telephone and email in case of additional follow-up questions, but they almost never call unless a question has been skipped. Also, personal information such as income, race, and ages of family members are asked to determine demographics or target audience of sales.

Sometimes these little surveys will put you on a major list if you are a registered voter for a "focus group" - if you are asked to go to one of these, usually for political candidates and issues, they can pay over $50 and feed you dinner or lunch! So the next time you are stopped at the mall, remember the market researchers are asking you to make a difference in their advertising.

Often a researcher will ask your age or source of income. Anyone who works for a grocery store, advertising or market research are excluded. This is because many of the products have not yet been introduced to the market and they do not want a professional in the field to give away their secrets. This makes many of the surveys fun and adventurous since some of the products are SO new they appear bold or even funny at first presentation to the public.

Radio and TV stations often do "listener" or "viewer" surveys. After an initial phone call, they send you a packet to keep track of what stations you hear or watch often and they also pay a small stipend for your trouble or send demo records/videos for your review. In order to find out more, go to FREE STUFF in your search engine or look for Pinecone Research, Greenfield, or observe closely those 800 numbers on the products that you buy. Even a short letter to a company whose products you appreciate can produce a coupon or free sample from the company.

Money - 8 Reasons Not to Work For It

By Nisa Chitakasem

Many of us are money driven. This is understandable but when this is the only thing we have going for us - perhaps it's time to stop, think, evaluate and improve. I hear too many of the people around me working solely for money. I am no guru in this but this is my take on what happens:

1. Money you have - but no time to spend it

2. Tired, stressed and grumpy - makes you an unpleasant bunny to be around!

3. No time for you - will you burn out? How's your health?

4. No time for your friends - or for being there for them.

5. No time for family - to see mum, dad, partner, kids. Will they resent you? Will you regret it later? When will they be gone?

6. A missed opportunity - of what could have been but never was. Were you meant to be the next Britney? The next Richard Branson or Steve Jobs? Perhaps the greatest writer, architect, snowball thrower of all time! - (but not in this lifetime if you keep going as you are)

7. No real passion - for work, for hobbies, for life. I have found that your passion disappears when you are doing something you do not enjoy day in and day out. You may enjoy other activities or even some bits of work - but never fully. This article goes through the reasons why people most commonly hate their jobs

8. You can get by with less than you think. Really? Yes. Think about it. How much and what do you really need?

For me - I've always thought having money would be good and yes it is a requirement especially in this day and age to have some in order to get by. But - if it is the only thing that you are doing your job for - please do think again. We can help you find another option. Something that you actually want to do, find some enjoyment out of AND that meets your money requirements.

You make money whenever a reader clicks on an ad posted on that site.

There is more money to be made when you can write well. With the subscription sites, you pay to join and then gain entrance into the bidding sections of the site where you can choose writing jobs in your field of expertise.
