Our 2nd Favorite Hobby Besides Coupons!

Hopefully we're helping you find great deals and save money, so let's now talk about how to earn extra money! Stacey introduced me to this when we met and we both earn a good amount of money from it. So, what is it, you may ask?! MARKET RESEARCH STUDIES!!! Woohoo!

You may think of studies or surveys as all being scams, but these are all local survey companies who Stacey and I have both used over and over and over again. I've also referred several coworkers and even my mom to these places with great success for them. They always pay and we've never had any issues with any of them. The studies usually pay between $25 and $100 and typically last an hour.

Market Research Companies we use:

- J and R J and R Coordinating
- Qfact Marketing Qfact
- Assistance in Marketing Research AIM
- Product Solutions CPG Product Solutions
-P&G Discovery Center (513) 626-2852     ***Great for moms who want FREE diapers to test!

These companies are all located within 45 minutes of Hamilton and are FABULOUS!! You can go to each website and register to be a panelist. Then, you wait! They'll begin emailing you when they have a study available for you to qualify for. Simply respond to the email if you're interested and they will call you within a day or two and ask you "qualifying" questions to see if you're what they want for their survey.

There are several types of surveys you can do; taste tests, in person interviews where you give them your opinions, online surveys, extended period surveys where you make more than one visit, in home product trials. The list goes on and on! We average about 2 or 3 surveys a month, but some months you can get much more.

Here's my (Jenna) survey earnings for the month of January alone:

J and R in home survey  $75
J and R in home survey $50
Qfact interview (6 month study) $60
Qfact online survey (6 month study $50
J and R taste test and online survey $25
P&G diaper survey $25 gift card to Kroger
Product Solutions in home survey $50
J and R in home survey $75

Total From Surveys for January: $385 and a $25 Kroger card!! Not too shabby!

P&G is great for moms with kids in diapers. I use their Discovery Center to test diapers and wipes on Maci (it's not dangerous, they're Pampers or some other name brand) and they give you the product for free, plus gift cards to either Meijer, Kroger, or LaRosas. I didn't buy diapers at all in December because I qualified for so many surveys with P&G.

If you want any more information on surveys, let me or Stacey know! Good luck!
