I recently signed up, and paid my fee. Of course,
I immediately felt that I had probably made a mistake, and was throwing
my money away. Well, it's been a couple of weeks now, and I've waded
through most of the sites, and set up accounts at over 50 of them.
I figured, even if they only contact me once a month, if that turns
out to be $10 for each one, times 50 sites, that's $500. I'll take
it!
Well, about a week after I signed up, I got a phone call to
come in for a focus group here in Chicago. It was on Male TV viewing
habits, and specifically, history and documentary style programming.
It was so easy. I took the el train right by my house out to the
business by O'Hare, and it paid $125 plus food and soda for two
hours of talking about what I liked on TV. So, already, I've paid
for the membership four times over.
That's all it takes. Now this may not be typical,
and I'd say making closer to $50 for a focus group is the normal,
but even that would've more than paid for my membership. I know
that a lot of the online surveys pay less, but add up a couple a
month, even at $5 to $10 each, times 50 site, and that's hundreds
of extra dollars a month.
There were SO many sites that I'd NEVER heard of.
Now I'm registered everywhere.
