(1)CashCrate.com , (CashCrate review) )

(2)Treasure Trooper (TreasureTrooper review)


Step 2...Sign up for the site of your choice by completing their online registration form. Be sure to fill out your information accurately. Some survey sites will not allow you to change certain parts of your application - such as your name and address, after you've signed up.

Step 3...For most survey sites, they will ask you to confirm your email address by sending you a confirmation email. If this happens, be sure to click on the confirmation link in that email message.

Step 4...Next, you may be sent a survey to your e-mail address or you may need to take the surveys on the site that you signed up with. Whichever the case may be, once you've completed one survey, you may have an option to take another one. This procedure may continues for as many surveys as you would like to fill out.

Some survey sites set a minimum payout amount, so you'll need to check the terms of the survey site that you signed up with, to see what their minimum is. To ensure that you receive payment, you'll also want to make sure that you enter your paypal address correctly - if the company pays you through this method. Or, if payment is by check, you'll want to make sure that your payment address is accurate and up to date.

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.
