NFriday Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hi- I get emails from Murray Hill National occasionally about focus groups. I am never eligible, but today I received one that I might be eligible for. It is a $75 online and webcam interview for one hour that pays $75. The only catch is that it is a dermatological one, and I do home health care, and so they might disqualify me for that reason alone. I was wondering if anybody else has ever done any online groups with them? How long did it take to get your money. I did another one for an outfit out of New Hampshire that took place in January, and I just got my $100 check three weeks ago, and that is only because I finally emailed them about it. I am involved in a NDR dish washing soap study now that is paying me $185 for four weeks. After my four weeks is up, I get emailed a survey to do asking how I like the product. I then have to switch back to the soap I was using previous to this study for two weeks. I get my check in the mail after the six weeks are up, and I also get $20 for buying the two small bottles of soap that I was using, and so I will get $205 total. When I went to pick up the product though on Thursday though, I had to fill out a survey about how I liked the Dove Ultra that I was using right before I started the product testing. The survey took me about a half hour to complete, but I noticed it is was written by Ipsos, and so maybe NDR is affiliated with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosiesmom Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 I have NEVER gotten anything that good. I did get a toaster oven once and a crock pot, both of which I already owned. I would love to actually make some money from this stuff. Not going to happen though. Good for you! I have never heard of Murray Hill before today. I lead a sheltered life I guess.

NFriday Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hi- I've signed up for most of the market research companies through craigslist. I live in the Chicago area which helps. There are a fair amount of market research places in the Chicago area. The only other market research thing that I have ever gotten that has paid that much was a mock jury that I had to do in downtown Chicago one. That one paid at least $200, and included lunch, but you were there for about 7 hours. I would do another one of those mock juries again though. They give the details of a case, and the people on the mock jury have to deliberate on the case, and tell how they would vote. I hit a dry spell though, where I did not get anything for probably two years, and then I got the online one in January that paid $100, and they threw in a free webcam. I had a panel last month that I was eligible for that was political with Fieldwork Chicago, but then they figured out that they did not need any more people in my age group, and so I was out $100. I am also signed up with 20/20, but I have never been eligible for any of their panels. There are a few other people here that have done a lot of online panels or surveys that pay $25-$35 a piece. I would even take those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spazmobot Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 I also live in Chicago, but even though I do, I've only seen maybe two emails so far. One was an in person focus group I didn't qualify for and one was a skincare study through the mail that I did. I got to try out two face creams to compare, with surveys during and then one final one at the end. They mailed me a check after I filled out the survey and I got it 2 weeks after I filled out the final survey. Although I'd love to hear from them more often, I consider hem a reputable and trustworthy company to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFriday Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hi- Murray Hill did let me know that if they were interested in me, they would get back to me within 24 hours, but I don't know if that includes Sundays or not. I know I could eventually get some study groups at Peryam and Kroll in NW Chicago, but I quit working with them because it takes me 30 minutes to drive there from Evanston, and there were a few studies where you had to show up three times, and then you only got paid $40. I finally decided that it was not worth it. They do mostly tastings. I remember one study I did with them I had to chew the same piece of gum for something like a half hour, and I think I had to show up three times for that study.
