Frequently Asked Questions
1. Who is eligible?
Basically anyone over 18. We are all consumers of goods and services, and it is
important to corporations that commission surveys to capture the views of a representative cross section
of the population. Also there are many surveys that are targeted at particular groups
of people - for example parents with an opinion on baby food.
2. Are the surveys only eligible to US residents?
No, we all live in a global market place. Large corporations are just as interested
in the opinions of people living in, for example, the UK, as in the US. There are a few
however which are targeted at the US.
3. What time do I need to set aside to complete surveys?
Completing surveys is completely flexible. They typically take from 15-30 minutes, but
some may be longer, and can be slotted into your current schedule - over lunch, in the evening,
after College, after dropping off the children...
4. What are focus groups?
Focus groups are an increasingly popular way for companies to learn about people's
opinions and attitudes towards their products. A small group of people are brought
together, either in person, on the telephone or online, to discuss any number of topics. A focus
group can generate more information for a company that a survey can. They do take
more time than a survey (30 minutes to several hours) but they do pay more.
