The Opinium Panel pay you cash for each paid survey you complete.

Saros Research

Saros Research pays you to take part in focus groups, discussions groups, interviews or paid surveys. They provide detailed consumer research information for a host of well known UK companies and cover a wide range of sectors including mobile phone providers, wines, IT products, home cleaning products, cars and many more areas. You can expect to be well compensated for your efforts because of the time commitment involved and Saros states that this generally means between £30 and £50 for between 2-3 hours research, plus you often get to keep the products/samples that you give your opinions upon. We have found this to be accurate and whilst we have found the frequency of paid surveys to be lower with this site, the compensation involved is excellent. Typically you might get an invite to paid discussions and focus groups every 6 months (although it can be longer), but this depends upon your individual profile.

CCFRA - Food Research

Campden and Chorleywood Food Research association specialise in food and drink related paid surveys. You could be invited to a focus group or our favourite, a taste test in which you will get to try the latest product offerings before they arrive in the high street. You should expect taste tests and focus groups to last anywhere between 1 hour and 1 hour and 30 mins in duration. There are also a range of paid surveys online in which you will be asked to give your opinions on food and drink related items from chocolate to fruit drinks. You might be asked to comment on how it looks, or various packaging styles. Your views and opinions will directly effect new product developments. The frequency of paid survey opportunities from CCFRA is less than other sites, on average one or two invites every 3 months, however the rewards are very good and you can expect from £5 for an online paid survey up to £50 for a taste test or focus group. All payments are made in either cash or shopping vouchers immediately after completion, meaning that you get paid more quickly.

Fhios

Fhios offer a range of paid surveys, mystery visitor, usability studies and focus group opportunities, all of which are great way to express you opinions whilst earning money. The mystery visitor paid survey opportunities are especially fun as you could be invited to give an honest opinion on a new website that is being developed, testing it out even before it is commercially available online. Typically you would be expected to complete a set of specific paid survey questions provided by the client organisation and score the website accordingly. This could be related to site navigation and easy of use or the content contained within the site and will generally last around 30 minutes. Payments for this type of paid survey are typically around £20 per time and all payments are made by cheque seven days after the survey has closed. Usability studies and focus groups are more involved and would require travel to take part, if you decided to participate. However the rewards are significant offering around £50 per session, often more, and they can last between 1 to 2 hours in length. On these occasions participants are paid by cheque on the day.
