As always, these are strictly for market research and no sales attempt will ever be made as a result of participating.

In order to speed up the process so you can plan your time I am asking all interested respondents to email me answers to the following questions.
1. A good daytime and evening telephone where you may be reached?
2. The city in which you live?

NEW YORKERS! The Wait is Over

This post of interest specially to New Yorkers. In my last blog I had briefly mentioned about a local company of New York that recruits local people like you and may to participate in 60-90 minutes focus groups, or surveys and pays you handsomely for your opinions if you qualify and participate at their local center in Downtown NY. The company is www.alphabuzzgroup.com .

This company sends you 1-2 emails weekly asking you to answers different questions based on the studies that they are conducting. If you qualify they call you and set a date as per our convenience and ask you to come down to their centers for product review, or focus group or discussion. The last time I went I was given two products and was asked to review them and perform certain set functions on them. The review went on for almost 60 min and at the end of 60 minutes I was paid 200$. I went there at around 8 and was back to work by 10.00. Did not have to take day off from work and made a quick $ 200. The remuneration is decent anywhere from $ 100-200/hr and their study are interesting too. I cannot discuss specifics of the studies as I am bound by privacy clause but let me tell you one thing, this site is worth trying out. Now all you have to do is click on the link above or cut and paste it on your browser, which will direct you to their home-page. Once on the home-page click on the option "Join our Database" on the extreme right-hand corner, fill out the information and wait for their invitation in your e-mail. Simple.
Those of you who cannot join or do not want to give out information on any sites, what I can do is when they sent me e-mail, I can post the study invitation here on my blog with reply e-mail address because they do ask if I know anybody who would qualify or be interested in participating and if so I can forward the e-mail to them. So you can go through the study and if interested only then you can write to them. So wait till I get my next invitation and those of you who cannot just go to the site and join. Have fun. Don't forget to tell me your experiences.
