Kiss Your Boss Goodbye--Focus Group Pays $100

I just received an e-mail from 20/20 announcing a new focus group. Here's the e-mail:

Put up your feet, sit back and relax. 20/20 Research is bringing the focus group to you!

 

We are currently conducting a research study regarding Food Products (#10-0738) and would like to invite women across the country to participate using an online bulletin board.  A bulletin board is a new, cutting-edge way to conduct market research.  It allows you to participate from your home, office, the local coffee shop or any place that has a high speed internet connection.

  

 The online discussion takes place: November 29-December 1 and will require going online a couple of times each day at specified times, and answer the questions posted by the moderator.

 

For your time and participation you will be given a $100 Online Visa Code, which can be used for online purchases at any website that accepts a regular Visa card.  As always, any information that you provide will remain strictly confidential.  To see if you qualify, please click HERE to answer a few brief questions.

Please use the forward to a friend button in the upper right hand corner to forward this to anyone who you think may be interested!

 

If this e-mail was forwarded to you and you would like to be contacted directly about future studies, become a member of our Panel by clicking HERE.

 

No sales or solicitations, ever.  Strictly research!

 

 

The links inside the e-mail are active! If you're interested in participating, click the first "HERE". If you're interested in being notified personally of future panel studies, click the second "HERE".

If you've never participated in a focus group, now's the time to start. This is some of the quickest and easiest money you will ever make. The qualification form is quick. At the end there is a question that requires a lot of creativity--keep that in mind when answering. Make sure that your answer will stand out in a crowd.

 

NOTE: If you get accepted, they will contact you by either phone or e-mail. If you're the type that hangs up the phone as soon as you get the slightest hint that the caller is a telemarketer--you may want to change your habits for the next few days. Often when they call, it will sound almost like a telemarketer. Keep this in mind when you answer the phone, you could be hanging up on an extra $100 for your holiday purchases.
