How to actually make money doing consumer research in Baton Rouge, LA

While you can't make a living filling out surveys, as many websites would have you believe, you can occasionally make a chunk of change by participating in consumer research. Most consumer research firms are locally based, not web-based.

	Go to https://ssl.sciresearch.com/focus_group/.
	Fill out the registration form in as much detail as you feel comfortable with. Many fields are NOT required, but the more information you give them, the more likely that they will think you are a match for an upcoming survey.
	When there is a study that needs someone in your demographic, or with your interests, career, or abilities, the company will contact you to make sure you are a match.
	If you are a match, they will give you a time to come in person to their research facilities. You will participate in a focus group study, where you discuss a new product or marketing idea with a group leader and other research participants. It's not a sales pitch. In fact, what you may see may not even be on the market, so you can't buy it even if you wanted.
