This company is not a ptc, gpt, or a ptr. It is a research company which pays you for studies which you qualify for. I have been paid by this company once, and I was not even called in with the final selection group. All I did was show up. Myself, along with the other two people there, were paid $85 with a check. Awesome!
The receptionist explained that they always wait to make sure that everyone arrives however, they don't always choose you to participate. If you do participate in the study, you are paid (in this case $85 for tonight's group), and then you wait 6 months before you can be a part of another focus group. Even though the three of us did not get called back to take part in the study, they still paid all three of us $85 just for showing up at our appointed time. I didn't believe it until they handed us our checks. To make things even better, I don't have to wait 6 months to get paid like the others. She said that we were eligible right now, if called, to take part in whatever study we qualified for. All I can say is "this company ROCKS!"
You can apply online at the above link. I'm not sure if they only do in-person focus groups or not however, it would not hurt to contact them to find out. This made my week!
Their website states that, "20/20 Research provides qualitative research support services, including Focus Group facilities (in Nashville, Charlotte and Miami), a full-service online division (featuring Qualboard, the industry-leading discussion board software), nationwide recruiting and project management. The amount will vary depending on the type of study, location, duration, etc., but most studies pay from $60-$100, up to $200 for mock jury trials and up to $300 for professional or business studies."
I joined this site on 01/12/09 and immediately upgraded to Lifetime Gold for $12. On 2/12/09 I requested my first payment for $18.44, and received it in less than 24 hours.
Have any books collecting dust in your house? Your books may be actually money collecting dust! By just simply typing in the ISBN number of a book they will give you a quote for what they can pay you. Once you decide you want to accept their offer, you simply print out a pre-paid shipping label online, pack the book (s) according to their instructions, and mail it off. Once they receive your book (s) they send you a confirmation e-mail letting you know the status of your payment. They will either mail you a check or send you money via paypal. By choosing paypal, you get more money fast and also receive 3% more on your book. When I first tried this site, I was skeptical. Sending something of value to a stranger in hopes of receiving cash is kinda risky in my book. Therefore, I 'tested' this site by sending one of my lower quoted books first. From my state it took about 1 1/2 weeks to get to them using regular USPS ground mail. I called them to check on the package and payment, etc. and they immediately picked up the phone. They also returned all of my phone calls within 24 hours. This is a very friendly site. They buy a wide variety of books, but specialize in recently published textbooks, non-fiction, business and professional/technical books. What they purchase can change day by day or week by week depending on their resale values, their current inventory, demand, and other factors. They maintain a list however, which shows the most recent 500 books that they've purchased. You might like to think about using the "buddy system" where one person stays at the computer and types in ISBN numbers while the other person goes out and scouts. If not the buddy system, and you are doing the solo thing--they have a mobile phone link that you can use, which is for pricing books when you are out and about in thrift stores,etc. As before, you just type in the ISBN of the book, and it will immediately tell you how much it's worth. I panned out very well with 2 books I bought off the clearance rack from a local well-known chain. They cost me $1 each. When I sold these back to cash4books.net, I was paid $40+! I have sold at least 10-12 books to this company with no problem whatsoever. This company also lets you send a link to you friends that, if they sell something to cash4books.net, you make $5 per person. Please note that this company is accredited by the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and also Paypal Verified. Payments I've received so far: $4.38, $32.45, $28.78, $4.50, $6.84, $12.49, and $1.27.
Cash4Offers
In a nutshell, Cash4Offers is the place where you can make money online for reading paid email, signing up for online surveys and offers. Your actions are valuable to the sites you find on the web. Cash4Offers lets you capture that value by paying you each time you read emails, take paid surveys and offers from these sites. Cash4Offers is free to join. Advertisers are welcome
I receive my first payment on 02/17/09 via paypal. To be honest, I had forgotten about the request for my payment. However, obviously, they didn't. In fact, they paid right according to schedule (please see below for first payment explanation).*
Word to the wise: You will not get credit for filling out to test a trial period offer, only to immediately cancel.
*To avoid any confusion/frustration this site clearly says under the FAQ section:
"...This means that your first payment will be processed 15 days from the end of the month in which you requested payment. This waiting period is necessary in order to prevent fraud. Any subsequent member payments requests are processed within three (3) business days.
Cash-Harvest
I have been paid by this company with no problems. Members can surf links, read ads, promote cash harvest, and read e-mails. You can earn 50% from referrals, 80% if you upgrade, membership is free.For advertisers there is cheap advertising! They offer 24 hour unique hits, free live stats, many ways to advertise, and automated transactions. Advertising packages are also available.
Clear Voice Surveys is an easy way to earn cash and rewards just by voicing your opinions. Companies need your help to improve their products and services, and in return you get paid for answering their surveys. Simple as that. Clear Voice Surveys is different than other survey sites for the following reason: Other survey sites only pay you for surveys you qualify for and complete. This site pays you for each survey you participate in. Rewards earned can be taken as cash and their partner Payoneer will mail you a prepaid debit card or use your cash to buy gift certificates at Amazon or even exchange them for gift certificates to your favorite restaurants. On 2/25/09 I received my pre-loaded Mastercard debit in the mail. The card worked without any problem.
Clickers-Union
I joined this site in December 2008, and on 020509 I received my first check ($9.41) in the mail. Good going Clixsense!
This site has been around for quite a while. Each ad on this site earns you $.01. If you wish to get anywhere fast with this website, I suggest that you immediately upgrade your account to Premium (cost $10 per year). Immediately, after I upgraded to Premium, I had 594 ads to view. No, that is not a typo. As you can see, I basically earned my upgrade cost back almost immediately. Clixsense offers incentives for each referral that you send their way. Also, you are paid automatically by check, which is mailed out on or before the 10th of each month for earnings of the prior month provided that your account balance has reached the minimum payout level of $10*. Great rates for advertising on this site, also.
Per their website, "Free members (Non-Premium members) will receive $0.01 for each referral and will receive $2.00 if their direct referral upgrades to a Premium account. You will also receive 10% of revenues generated from your referrals' ad purchases. Premium Members are paid affiliate commissions 5 levels deep! PREMIUM MEMBERS – You are instantly paid $0.10 for each new referral. When one of your direct referrals upgrades their account to a Premium membership, you are instantly paid $2.00 for that member's upgrade. When that member refers a new member who upgrades to premium you are instantly paid a $1.00 override commission. You just got paid for doing NOTHING! Even better, that same scenario pays FIVE LEVELS DEEP! And now, level five referrals pay as much as your direct referrals: $2.00!!"
*They do charge a small $3 fee to process the check, but for me, that's no big deal. On average, I have been able to successfully find, at the minimum, 13-17 ads each day. The trick with this site is to check back often, as they constantly keep adding new advertisements throughout the day.
