could I get the links too please.

I (well my kids) did taste testing of baby food for a lot of years. We got paid $15 for 20 mins, usually was more like 10 mins and $20 for 45 min sessions, these would usually last 15-20. They paid us in Meijer gift cards but that is where we shop so it was as good as cash. It was very easy money.

Wirelessly posted (LG-GR500/V10f Teleca/Q7.0 Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 UP.Link/6.3.1.17.0)

i tried to do this in the uk but i dont drive so focus groups i cant do.

The online surveys i did also wanted a monthly fee which they said would be less then id make but that put me off.

I could certainly do with extra cash right now so if anyone could pm me with links to usa money making online surveys i would really appreciate it!

DD (student) earns some of her allowance by acting as a "simulated patient" for the trainee docs at the School of Medicine at Melbourne University. Good money and they feed her as well.

So, I registered with one of the organizations that I found via tonrob's link. One week later (ie last week) I received a phone call inviting me to a one hour focus group for which I'd get $100.

Unfortunately I'm out of town.

They tell me that they'll contact me again as they have plenty going on

They also seemed disappointed that I didn't have any children over four years old.
