Other possible market or market research-driven research, testing and feedback activities include:
++ Shopping tests, mystery shopping. Upper management wants to know exactly how their customers are actually
being treated. They hire people to shop and report on the details of their experience and how they felt about it.
++ Getting paid to submit original photos. There is a tremendous demand for visual content in the form of all kinds
of photos. You can make money making and submitting photos.
++ Service testing jobs (Eating at Restaurants, going to health clubs, spas, golf courses) There are opportunities
to test, try out various service establishment and report on what you saw, your impressions, etc. Sometimes your payment might only be getting
the services free, but if you get a night out at a nice restaurant, for example, it saves you from having to pay for it yourself!
++ Game testing. There is a tremendous market for computer games of all sorts. While these are being developed
and after they are finished but not yet released, there is a need for "beta testers" of all sorts. The venders want to make sure all the
bugs are out before they put the products on the market, and they want the opinion of gamers as to what they like and dislike about the game.
Good money can be made just trying out new computer games and giving your opinion.
++ Getting paid to drive your car with an advertisement on it. Some of the offers here are low-key, with just a
magnetic sign on the side of your car. Others, which pay more (up to getting the car for free) require full special paint jobs that are
designed to draw attention. For a free car many find that it is worth all the attention you get.
There are specialty guide companies that can steer you to the legitimate opportunities in these fields. [Check out the listings at Get Paid to Shop, Etc. here on this website.]
So any one of the methods above can be used to increase your paid survey income, or you can try all three at once. The opportunities are out
there, all you need to do is to take advantage of them...
