AOC Marketing Research

This time last year a friend told me about the wonderful world of focus groups. You can sign up with market research companies and they will pay you for your opinions. Respectable amounts of money for an easy hour of work. I was super skeptical someone would just hand me cash just for my opinions but I finally qualified for a study that had openings at a time that worked for me.
I made it easily to the facility with time to spare (the widening of 485 is awesome isn’t it?) and there was plenty of parking was open outside. I checked in, and snacked on some of the chips and grabbed a soda. The office is clean and the staff were friendly. I was in a group of 10 people and we watched some videos and gave our opinions. It took a little over the scheduled hour and I was handed an unmarked envelope of $ 75 cash. I didn’t have to try any strange pills or lotions. I have since spent that cash so I assume it wasn’t counterfeit.
I generally get 1 or 2 emails a month about upcoming studies so it isn’t frequent but it was a great way to make some splurge cash. I almost don’t want to share this information and increase my competition for a spot on a study but Unilocal is all about getting the word out.
