Different Ways to Make Bank!

FF Focus Group pays for members to participate in online, mobile surveys, in-person focus groups and phone interviews. Join today by completing a profile, and start making money right away. Earn up to 2,500 points ($2.50 value) just for filling out a short profiling questionnaire.

Rewards

For in-person interviews, phone interviews, or online bulletin boards and other types of longer commitment projects, compensation ranges based on the study requirements, though typical rewards are between $100 - $300. For an online or mobile survey, awards are typically between 1,000 -5,000 points which equates to $1-5 per study.

Telephone & Multi-Session Online Surveys

Payments are made via check 6 to 8 weeks after completion of a study.

Single-Session Online Surveys

Upon completion of a survey, points are usually posted immediately to your member account. Accumulated balances may be withdrawn by the participant once their account balance reaches 20,000 Points. Payment will be made in the form of a check mailed to the address in your profile.

I have been with this group for over a year and have made $1.00!! I'm a very young 52, but I must be lacking something that I'm not aware of. I'm always disqualified after the first few questions, that I wonder why they even bother sending me invites. I'm canceling membership and moving on. Sad thing is...they lost a great survey taker.

I've belonged to this panel for a few months and have gotten quite a number of invites for focus groups. The problem is that I never qualify because I'm never called or contacted back. Oh well. I'm 26, so maybe I'm not in the right age bracket? I don't know. I never qualify for the surveys, either. Lame.

I just enrolled @ Focus Forward Online. In the members area it states:

I signed up Jan 08 and immediately completed my profile info. Next I heard from them was in Jul 09 asking me to update my profile info. Received my first survey ($1) on Sep 3, 2009 but it was closed before I could take it. Received second survey today (Sep 28, 2009), but did not qualify. At this rate I will never earn anything from them. Hopefully I will be invited to a focus group or two to make it worthwhile, otherwise I'd cancel.

Everytime I get an invitation, which is once or twice every six months, I can't qualify!! Everything is fine until you get to the "Into which age group do you fall under", It has the option under under 24 years old, so I click it, because I'm being honest!! and as soon as I do it says we are sorry but this survey is full. You guys could be honest and just say that you don't like young people. But what realy gets me is that they send me the email and I click it within 5 Min's and it is full! YA Right!!
