I consider myself more of a trendsetter than others I know.






My household appliances reflect my status/style to others.






I prefer to buy products from a company that is socially conscious.

In Person Focus Groups





Man, moving to California has been rough! lol Part of me feels like I'm just not "tough enough" to make it out here... had my car stolen after about a month out here, and had my wallet stolen not even two weeks ago! To make matters worse, my driver's license, which was one of the many things I lost in that ordeal, is from Oklahoma, so trying to get any form of ID with my current name has been soooo awful!!! I bought a new (used) vehicle yesterday... it's soooo nice, but I'm so freakin' paranoid, with everything that's already happened! Even though it has an anti-theft system, I put a "club" on the steering wheel, and ordered more security stuff tonight, 'cause I'm so scare of it getting broken into or stolen!!!

Anyway... didn't mean to get off into all that! lol There is a positive side to California financially! When you do paid surveys, and especially focus groups, it helps to be in such a large area. I'm close to SanFran and Berkeley, where there are focus groups held every day of the week. Not only can you sign up for all the market research companies and have them email or call you when a study is available, it always helps to keep an eye on blogs that focus on these, or message boards, etc. That's how I've learned the most about upcoming studies online. If you are in, or near, any major city, though, you can usually find lots of great studies by checking Craigslist.org . Click on your city. Look at the area for job listings, and check the "etc" and "part time" listings. A lot of major focus group companies will list studies that are needing participents. It's a great way to, not only have your voice heard and help shape your favorite products, you can also earn some quick cash!

LOOKING FOR PEOPLE 18-55 WHO WOULD NEVER SEE THIS AD






I just found this on Craigslist. I'm not gonna do the referral thing, but maybe some of you can. Anyway, here's the post... good luck!

I need people who are NOT heavy Internet users and would likely not be looking at “ETC”
on Craigslist. So I’m willing to pay you $25 for each referral you send me that I can use for a study. I have 6 months of studies coming up and I need lots of people.

The folks I need are less computer savvy then the average person (especially in the Bay Area) but do have email and stay in touch with family and friends, even if it’s not daily. They most likely can use a search engine, read the headlines sometimes but don’t live on the computer. People who typically use the internet to communicate with others.

Most of you looking at this ad will not meet these criteria, but you may have friends, neighbors, family who do and you both can use some extra cash. The more people you refer that I can use, the more money you make. I’m looking for MANY folks who fit this criteria and there is no limit to how many people you can refer.

You will get $25 for every person you refer that qualifies and completes a study. The participant will get $125 for their time and feedback. Studies typically take between 90-120 minutes.

Please respond with your name and contact information as outlined below and include a little background of the person/s you have in mind that might meet this criteria. I will get back to everyone!

Your Name:
Your Age:
Your email:
Your Phone#:

Referrals Name:
Age: (or approximate)
Email:





Why do you think this person would make a good candidate for this criteria?
