How to actually make money doing consumer research in Phoenix, AZ

You've probably see the ads for "make money filling out surveys in your sparse time" and "become a mystery shopper". Most of those ads will take you to sites where you have to pay money to get a list of websites where you might be able to make some money, but you will probably never get your membership fee back. The fact is, most consumer research is still done locally, not on the Internet. Therefore, if you look locally, you might find something interesting.

Fill out the form in as much detail as you feel comfortable with. Not all information is required, however, when they are putting together a focus group, they want people who will be a good match. The more information you include, the more likely you will be seen as a good match.
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.
