What Types of Research Could I be Taking Part in?
The types of research that we offer out to our members ranges. We can provide you with online surveys, focus groups (online or in-person), in-depth telephone interviews and product testing. In all of the different types of research, you need to make sure you contribute all of your opinions regularly and also truthfully, so we can get the most accurate data possible and also as much as possible. On average you will receive one or two surveys a month and then for the other types of research we cannot predict, it usually depends on if you fit the specific client requirements.
 
To improve your chances of getting invited to take part in market research, we advice you to fill out the profiling survey after you have signed up. This adds more information about yourself to your profile so that we can use that to see if you fit the client requirements because some clients need certain types of people to take part in their research. If you do this, you are more likely to be chosen to take part in more paid research tasks.
 
All of the research that we invite our Opinion Exchange members to take part in is paid research. The amount we pay varies for each task and depends on the time it takes to complete the research, the subject matter, what type of research your are doing and who the clients need to speak to. The amounts on average that we pay are as follows: Surveys = £0.50 - £2.00, Focus Groups = £30 - £150, In-depth Interviews = £20-£50 and Product Testing = a cash incentive and you keep the product you test. Sometimes you will paid cash in hand, for example after a focus group you would be paid the agreed amount when it finishes but when it is online you will build up credit in your Opinion Exchange account which you can then transfer directly into your PayPal account. This can then be placed into your bank account for the exact sum you have earned. The minimum withdrawal amount is £4, so once you have earned £4 you can withdraw it to your PayPal.
