Frequently Asked Questions


How can companies afford to pay so well?
Market research companies have been paying people to take surveys for many, many years. It's vital that they get unbiased opinions from consumers before launching new products. All that's changed is that companies can now conduct this online, as well as by telephone or in person. It makes sense for them to pay well to encourage as many people as possible to participate. Large companies have huge marketing budgets, so it is in their interests to make sure they are not wasting their money. It is proven that the best way of promoting and testing ideas is with using consumers, also giving awareness to a product.

How do I get paid?
The market research firms conducting the assignments will pay you by cheque or Bank Transfer, Sometimes, payment can be arranged through Paypal. Cheques are usually issued once or twice a month. We pay for our own assignments via paypal or cheque.

Are taxes taken out of my pay cheque?

This still sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?
There's no catch! These companies will pay you for your time in completing questionnaires and participating in Market Research.

Why isn't this free?
The first reason is we need to pay for web hosting, domain names, administration, Marketing (so you can find us) support staff and web designers etc. We choose to charge a fee to help cover these costs. The second reason is so our members can receive more pay for each survey they fill out. If this was free then the 400+ market research companies we're connected with would have to split their budgets even more (so lets say instead of 10 people receiving £25 for a survey the budget would be divided to accommodate all the new members and that would mean 100 people only receiving £2.50 or 1000 people receiving £0.25) so we're choosing to keep the fee in place. Unlike Other Companies we work with over 400 companies online and offline which is why you are receiving a quality service and so for this we need to charge a small fee.
