Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I get paid for my opinion?

Companies spend billions of dollars each year trying to understand how consumers think. By getting people's opinions companies can create better products and services. Bringing a product to market that consumers will ultimately reject can cost companies lots of money.

Thus, it costs companies less to obtain feedback from people like yourself in research, focus groups and online surveys about what you like and don't like in products and services. Because the potential gain is so huge, companies are willing to pay people who participate in focus groups and surveys well for their time.
