In my previous postings, I shared how teens can make extra money from doing surveys online and or by joining a online focus groups!
In this posting, I will share another extra money making oppportunity for teenagers is "Off line Focus Groups"!
So how does a teenager find an offline focus group?
Well as the famous commercial states "Let your fingers do the walking". In simpler words, take a look in your phone book - in the yellow pages!
I suggest that you look under the Heading.. "Market Research" and contact the companies that are listed. Let these companies know that you're interested in participating in their focus groups. Congrats..you just done Step1
Step2..Expect to be called at random for screening interviews. You'll be asked a series of questions relating to your use, interest and experience with a certain product.
Step3..Answer questions openly and honestly, and be as articulate as possible. Researchers are looking for individuals with strong opinions and the ability to verbalize their thoughts.
Step4..Once you qualify for a focus group and are asked to participate, write down the location, time and payment information. Be sure you understand the time commitment and see if it works with your schedule.
Step5..Show up early. Give about 30 minutes before the starting time to get signed in.
Step6..Don't hold back. If you are invited to participate in a study, there is an expectation that you will speak your mind. You need to contribute your thoughts and opinions in an upfront manner.
Tips & Warnings
Many focus groups will have snacks and beverages available for participants, so get there early to take advantage of the food.
Know that you won't qualify for a study if you or a family member works for a marketing research company or if there is any affiliation to the product being discussed.
Don't monopolize the discussion. Researchers are interested in varying viewpoints and opinions, so keep your responses concise and allow other participants to talk.

Making Teen Making Extra Money (Focus Groups)!
In my previous posting Making Extra Money Online, Rx6 left a comment asking me about making extra money from focus groups!
To help answer Rx6 questions, I did a search and came across the following site..Making Money From Focus Groups!
The author explains in simple and easy to understand words, the basic difference between "doing surveys and belonging to a focus group" and also provides a banner linked to a "focus groups" site.
If you do decide to try making extra money from focus groups, remember that you have to pay to belong. By paying, it show that site that you are serious! According to what I read, you can make back the money that it cost you after your first focus group!
Also you have to qualify for some focus groups!
And finally, if your are underage, make sure you have parents (guardian) approval before signing on!
