Things like Prolific, UserTesting etc. Only managed to pass the interview on UserTesting. It’s just selling your data and I hate it but I need the additional money.
I did a bunch of these things some months back and mostly got scammed. Mostly because of work not getting approved, bugs and minimum payouts.
In the past I did focus groups with a company that paid pretty good money, but you have to fill out unpaid surveys to get picked for the groups. The company was 20/20 panel.
One trick to any of those kinds of market research things is to game the demographics. Make up your demographics to be the kind of person you think wouldn’t be easy to get market research on. I always made sure to pretend I was employed in a high paid job since I figured they probably have a hard time getting people who make $100k to do a focus group for $500. If you lie, write down the lies because they would ask questions to see if you lied when they call to schedule the group.
I did prolific for a while a few years ago. If you get approved it’s actually good money, and it isnt all brand surveys since its mostly scientific stuff.
You’ll really only get approved if you’re demographically unique though
