Q-Insights Shopping Online Community and Focus Group Pays $250

Q-insights is another company where I do research groups, focus groups, and online surveys to earn extra money.

They have a lot of stuff in South Orange County, and less often in San Diego County. Right now they are currently recruiting for a 2-phase research study on the topic of shopping.

This study is a 2-day online community followed by a 90-minute focus group the week after. To participate in this online community, you will log on to an online platform each day and complete approximately 30-45 minutes’ worth of activities.

Online Community: May 17 – May 22
Online Focus Group: May 29 – May 31

As a thank you for your participation in both phases you will receive $250

If you are interested in participating, please fill out the survey here.  If you pre-qualify a recruiter will call you to ask some additional qualifying questions.

iSecretShop Opportunity- No Purchase Necessary Earn up to $114!

I received an email from iSecretShop recently, and while I don’t have time for this project, I thought some of you might be interested.

Part of iSecretShop is their scanning project. Currently, They are recruiting for Shopping Scout scan shoppers. Shopping Scout scan shops are available in your area. To get started, they offer a free, one-hour, “New Auditor Certification Session” every Tuesday at 3:30 pm Pacific/4:30 Mountain/5:30 Central/6:30 Eastern. During the session, they go over what is expected during these shops. They also offer a self-guided process if you cannot attend the live presentation. Once you have completed the free course and passed the test, you will become certified, which allows you to request these shops through isecretshop.com

To participate in this covert project, you will scan approximately 1900 SKUs/items at Costco using a free app on your smartphone. Please note that you will need a Costco membership (or another legitimate means of entry) to enter Costco.

If you are interested in learning more, check out their website. iSecretShop has different types of secret shop projects and opportunities frequently.

Wednesday, May 22, 2024 from 6-8pm at the Santee Sportsplex there is a Full Spectrum Soccer Clinic.

The event is free, however, the Sportsplex does have a $3 per 18+ entrance fee.
