Data Researcher
Data Researcher
This opportunity comes several guises. First you can service companies that will require you to help them input research and clinical data from particular formats such as voice transcription or by into written by typing form using a particular text formats.
Second, you can participate in the studies themselves, by means of online surveys, focus groups, and study panels. Most of these will be done online, but some are in certain in-house locations. Type your own personal experiences and get paid for it!
We will focus this training on the participation side of the research. The reason is that about 90% of the jobs you will do will come in this form. We will give you a brief rundown on the data inputting side of this at the end of the training, along with a list of companies that will use your assistance in entering their data into the formats they require.
Data Research Training
Data entry market research exists because, in order to remain competitive in their given markets, companies need a better understanding of their customers and the customers' perception of products or services. Researchers are separated by personal demographics so that the data will better apply to the target audience the marketing firm is trying to reach.
Because the corporate marketing companies need to understand consumer perceptions in-depth, they will offer a salary to research participants. A participant will never have to pay for a legitimate research study.
Nowadays, many people want to make money on internet. Some of them want to be rich overnight while others just need a second income. Making money online participating in research studies is easy, you just need to know how to do it right. We are going to show you how to get the best out of this opportunity that can generate a nice income for very little effort.
Several market research companies out there want to pay for your opinion. They have millionaire budgets and you can register with them and take part in online research studies getting some money in return.
Understanding Market Research and the Companies that Pay You
Giving an opinion is second nature to us. Many times a day we offer up our thoughts and feelings on the goods we use and receive. We use a new product and we evaluate its effectiveness. We see a film and discuss its merits. We try a different brand of coffee and form an opinion on the taste. Opinions make up the bulk of our discourse and comprise the majority of our thoughts.
Because of how natural our opinions are to us, it's hard to imagine that there are people willing to pay us money just to hear what we think! To understand why our opinions are such valuable commodities and why companies are willing to pay big bucks to hear what people have to say, it's important to understand a little bit about market research, what it is, and how it works.
In today's competitive business environment small and large companies alike are faced with the challenge of continually seeking out growth opportunities. Companies may look to grow in a number of ways. Some of the most common growth opportunities are: developing a new product or service, expanding an existing product or service line or identifying new markets.
Products and service market development is costly and high-risk. Branching from the status quo presents a new and potentially dicey challenge to companies. Plunging into new product terrain without the proper knowledge and information can be a death sentence for a company or corporation. That is why it is crucial that companies fully evaluate the feasibility of their product and service opportunities by undertaking proactive market research before committing resources to new product or service development.
Market research is a cost-effective way of finding out what people believe, think, want, need or are looking for. It is information that cannot be obtained from any other source. It takes unbiased consumer views to really test the potential profitability of a good. Industry, commerce and governments use research to help them produce goods,services and policies that accurately and efficiently match up to consumer needs and wants.
Market research is learning all about your prospective market before you try to enter that market. The most important role of market research is to minimize risk by researching a product or service before delivery. All companies realize that it is quicker and cheaper to research a new concept and get that concept right rather than rolling out a product only to find out it doesn't match the needs of buyers.
The marketing plan for a new product relies heavily on market research. It is essential to pick your market carefully. Companies have to know just whom their product appeals to and why. Each market is uniquely different. Not only are there differences in gender, geography, and profession, there are also language and culture differences as well.
How Much Money You Can Earn
The average time you might spend participating in these research studies could be between 15 to 20 minutes. The average earning is $300 a week. If you spend a lot of time each day doing these studies when they are available, you can earn $500 or more per week fairly easily.
Some research companies will offer to pay you via PayPal. You may wish to consider going for it, as you'll get paid faster (and don't have to worry about the check getting lost in the mail!). And, if you live outside the U.S., it might be especially valuable. Otherwise, they'll send you a check.
How often you'll receive a check??? It varies by company. Some pay directly after a study is complete, and some will pay you at the next pay cycle, which is usually twice a month. One you are participating steadily in these projects you should see checks coming in at all times of the month.
Some of these research companies will require you to reach a minimum earning amount in order to get paid. It usually is $50, which should be easily obtained. The companies do this for administrative costs to avoid the hassle of sending out $5 and $10 payments.

I. Equipment and Skills Needed to Be a Research Participant
The best part of being a research participant is that there is no special skill required. You will need a computer with Internet connection, a note pad, and minimal typing skills. Most of these studies will be conducted using the company's special online form. It is usually in the format of simple yes and no answers, or multiple choice. Some of the studies may require a short summary of your thoughts and overall evaluation. There will be no time limits, so typing speed will not matter.
II. Who Is Eligible to Participate
Many of these companies will allow anyone over the age of 13 years old to participate. Some companies will consider it a plus if you are older then 65, which makes this a great opportunity for retired persons. Some companies will only require certain ethnic groups, race or gender. This is rare, and is not discriminative; it is just their research focus.
We have companies that will accept almost every country, and some that will only allow certain countries based on their focus studies. We do list hundreds of companies that you can do research for, and we will list the countries that they are available to.
III. Profiles and Demographics
When you join any survey company, they will ask you what your personal interests are, such as hobbies, computers, automobiles, information technology, Internet experience, credit card use (they will never ask for numbers), do you read books, do you read magazines, do you play video games, do you eat cereal, etc. Always be sure to complete all of your profiles when you join to ensure you receive more surveys. It's kind of like a computer dating service, when you enter all this information into the computer's database, and when a market research company has a survey available that matches your profile, you will be contacted. All personal information is kept strictly confidential and never sold to any third parties. If you are not sure, read their privacy policies. Remember these are "legitimate" market research companies.
The four main demographics of surveys? Age, Gender, Occupation, & Race.
Age - This is the most important factor of any survey! For example, "How much does a teenager spend at the grocery store compared to his 44-year-old mother? We think this answer is obvious! Naturally market research is aimed towards the consumer of these products. However, many surveys are sent to children under 18 with adult supervision, usually regarding video games, clothing, cosmetics, etc. You must be 18 years or older to join any market research company. Also, please remember that when they have sent you a particular survey, you have been chosen because of your age first. Please put in the exact age you signed up for on this particular e-mail address! If you have eight different e-mail accounts, this can be confusing sometimes, so write down the age and occupation offer each e-mail account.
Gender - This is the second most important factor for being selected. A female will most likely purchase cosmetics, whereas a male may be more interested in sports, which usually involves surveys about sports announcers, sports TV commercials, beer, etc.. Females are normally the persons that purchase the most groceries, or purchase children's clothes, etc. Believe it or not, females receive more surveys than males!
Occupation - The third most important factor of being selected for surveys. If you work in Information Technology and have the power to purchase these products, you will be selected for some really high paying surveys anywhere from $10.00 to $30.00. The higher paying surveys normally last about 30 minutes. Afterwards they will analyze your answers and decide whether or not you qualify for other surveys in this field. You will still get paid. Like I said before, if you are in the food industry, you will most likely not receive any surveys about food. If you are a business director who has the authority to purchase computers and office products, you will be selected to participate in these product surveys. A person who works in lawn care will not be chosen to participate in lawn care products.
Race - No, survey companies are not prejudiced! They just want to know what products human beings all across the world are purchasing! This lets the advertising market know who, what, when, where, and how to advertise a product! Some races purchase more of a certain product than others. Through market research surveys, this will let them know ahead of time what results they can expect which is the whole purpose of market research to begin with.
Primarily there are two main types of study groups you can participate in: one is focus groups, and the other is market research surveys. We will explain more what these are.
Focus Groups
A focus group is a small group selected from a wider population and sampled, as by open discussion, for its members' opinions about or emotional response to a particular subject or area, used especially in market research or political analysis.
Focus groups were originally called "focused interviews" or "group depth interviews". The technique was developed after World War II to evaluate audience response to radio programs. Since then social scientists and program evaluators have found focus groups to be useful in understanding how or why people hold certain beliefs about a topic or program of interest.
A focus group could be defined as a group of interacting individuals having some common interest or characteristics, brought together by a moderator, who uses the group and its interaction as a way to gain information about a specific or focused issue.
A focus group is typically 7-10 people who are unfamiliar with each other. These participants are selected because they have certain characteristics in common that relate to the topic of the focus group. The moderator or interviewer creates a permissive and nurturing environment that encourages different perceptions and points of view, without pressuring participants to vote, plan or reach consensus. The group discussion is conducted several times with similar types of participants to identify trends and patterns in perceptions. Careful and systematic analysis of the discussions provides clues and insights as to how a product, service, or opportunity is perceived by the group.
These would be the types of studies and research you would transcribe from audio as we show you in our Transcription Training Program.
Focus groups can be conducted either online by Internet connection, where all participants will type their responses to the study, or by on-site at a local facility. Our program will focus on the online focus groups, but we will give you a nice database of on-site focus groups in your area if you are interested.
Online focus groups will pay you very well for your time. You can make anywhere from $75 for a short online focus group, to $250 for a longer on-site focus group.
Focus group participants will be systematically and purposefully selected. The following provides some guidelines these research companies use in selecting potential participants:
Purpose of study should guide who to invite.
Focus group participants should be characterized by homogeneity, but with sufficient variation to allow for contrasting opinions. Homogeneity is most often sought in terms of occupation, social class, educational level, age, education, or family characteristics, and gender (unless interaction across these groups is what is driving the study).
Participants should not be familiar with each other (those who know each other tend to form small group discussions).
Size of the group is typically around 7-10. Groups of over twelve have often proven to be too big while under four have shown that not enough total experiences exist.
Focus groups require a flexible research design and not randomization. In selecting participants, it is critical to remember that intent of focus groups is not to infer but to understand, not to generalize but to determine the range, not to make statements about population but to provide insights about how people perceive a situation.
A helpful rule of thumb in determining the number of groups needed is to continue conducting interviews until little new information is provided. Typically, the first two groups provide a considerable amount of new information but by the third or fourth session, a fair amount may have already been covered. If this occurs stop.
To get people to attend, one should personalize invitations, establish meeting times that don't conflict with existing community activities or functions, contact potential participants via phone, or e-mail 7-10 days prior to, send personalized invitations one week before session, phone each person the day before to remind them.
Make Sure to Attend Online Focus Group
Focus groups are going to give you more of a notice before you need to attend, unlike research surveys, which in some cases can give you notice for as little as a few hours.
Always do your best to attend the focus groups when you are invited, for this can lead to many more. If you agreed to attend the focus group, and then cancel, this can be a big negative that may cause you to not be invited by that company again. We suggest if something does come up, notify the research company right away to inform them, and if you can find someone to fill in for you, that may be the easiest way to cover yourself.
Most of the incentives to participate in focus groups are paid in cash. Some will offer other incentives such as gift cards, products, etc. It is rare for legitimate focus groups to offer anything but cash.
Research Surveys
A research survey will be a little less dramatic than a focus group. Many times you will do this without any interaction or moderation. Many of the research companies will send you an online survey questionnaire via e-mail, or set you up with an online account through which to access the research surveys.
Paid surveys and research surveys is there a difference? The answer to that would best be described as this: you have seen many Internet companies offering paid surveys. Not all of them are not legitimate; it depends on what type of paid surveys they are offering. We will explain the differences in kinds of paid survey.
There are two types of companies online that offer profitable paid surveys: the first are those who are directly conducting and paying for the surveys you’re going to answer, while the second are referred to as "middleman" companies.
If you’re working with the first, there’s little to worry about. The direct market research companies are what we are going to get you working with, as they are true research companies that are conducting the surveys. When you’re working with the second type, you should be very careful about which companies you have transactions with.
Most middleman companies will offer you lots and lots of information about how wonderful paid survey opportunities are. They will request your personal information, such as credit cards, and get you to do trial offers (which require money). Then they send you to the actual research companies that we are going to give you first hand. When doing surveys for real research companies YOU WILL NEVER BE ASKED FOR A CREDIT CARD.
So you see what many of the Internet paid survey companies are offering you, and many are even charging you to join.
Research surveys will vary in the amount you will be paid. You can expect to paid approximently $15 - $25 for about half and hour of your time. Some will pay $3.00 for you to type a couple sentences of you thoughts, which will take a whole two minutes. It will be rare to find a survey that takes longer then one hour, and if you run across one of those you should get about $50.
These research companies will pay in one of four ways; CASH, POINTS, GIFTS and PRIZES.
CASH: Get a deposit made into your PayPal, or request a mailed check.
POINTS: Each survey will accumulate points, which then can be turned into cash or gifts. Getting paid through points. Some survey companies will pay you through accumulating points. The points will be the same as cash. On the average, 1000 points is the same as $10.00.
GIFTS: These incentives will usually be paid by a gift voucher to places like: Wal-Mart, Starbucks, Home Depot, etc.
PRIZES: Some companies will enter you into a drawing for cash or other items.
Our Companies Only Deal in Cash
We have personally screened these companies, and you will see the dates we last checked the payouts next to each company. All the companies we work with will pay in cash, and points, and the points can be converted into cash. We do not deal with companies ONLY dealing with gifts and prizes. Some of our companies may offer this as a secondary incentive, but it is not the primary method of payment.
V. Get Prepared and Organized
We already mentioned what equipment you will need to do these jobs. However, we are going to make a few suggestions to help you with organizing yourself for this job.
1st - Get a secondary e-mail account; this will allow you to conduct business with these companies, and keep it separate from your personal e-mails. You can get a free e-mail account with either Hotmail or Yahoo. When you get this second e-mail account, set up some new files. You can name each file for each company you are doing research surveys for. This will keep things organized within your e-mail account.
TO GET FREE YAHOO E-MAIL ACCOUNT CLICK HERE
2nd - We suggest you use a log-in management software that let's you log into any of the research companies accounts with once simple process. The software is by Roboform, and this will store all your usernames and passwords for easy access when you go to the research companies' Web sites. RoboForm is 100% FREE.
TO DOWNLOAD ROBOFORM FOR FREE CLICK HERE
4th - You need a decent Internet connection. While you don't have to have broadband access to participate in most online focus groups, you should have at the very least a reliable Internet connection so you don't get dropped off in the middle of an activity.
5th - We suggest you get a FREE PayPal account. This will make it easier and quicker for you to get your payments. When you sign up for a PayPal account, you only need the "Personal" account, NOT Premier or Business. The personal account is free and easy to get verified, even if you do not have a credit card.

VI. Signing Up For the Research Companies
Now we will give you some tips on signing up for these research companies to maximize your potential earnings.
Finding the right companies
We suggest to scroll through the companies we list, we know there are allot to choose from, but do your best. Try to find the best companies that meet your demographics, such as; if a particular research company is looking for people 65 and older, or African Americans, or females, males etc. These will be the first companies you should sign up for.
How many companies to sign up with
We will suggest you start by signing up with about 20 to 25 companies. This usually will give you a decent flow of surveys. You can always sign up for more at any time. If you sign up for too many at the start, you could be overwhelmed with work if they all decide to place you into their study groups. Sometimes 20-25 may not give you enough work, but allow a few weeks to see the flow of the studies before signing up for more.
Filling out demographic profile application for research assignments
It will be important to fill out the demographic profile sign-up applications correctly as we will explain. The most important thing to remember is to fill in all the information that is asked. You do not want to leave any blanks on the profile application and don't hold back information by clicking the "Not sure," "Don't know," or "Will not disclose". These will only harm you. If you are not sure of something, guess. Blanks and negative information on the profile application can hurt you when it comes time for getting asked to do the surveys.
Bookmark the companies you sign-up for
You will be required to create a membership with each of the companies you sign up for. The members' area will be where you may find some research survey assignments for you to complete. We suggest you bookmark them (add them to favorites) for a couple of reasons this will make it easy to locate each site and log-in, and, most importantly, so you do not sign up for the same company twice.
A few tips that will help you get in better position for the research surveys
Once you visit the Web site's of the survey companies we provide, you will see two different areas, "Join" and "Members," Click on "Join". This will take you to the demographics page where you will enter all of your contact information age, gender, occupation, race, mailing address, phone number (optional), household income, computer experience, etc. Note: Over the years I have noticed that household incomes that make approx. $100,000.00 per year do not receive very many surveys as opposed to a household income of $50,000.00. Most likely because people that make more money just don't have the time, or the surveys pay too small amount of money for them to become interested. Also, please be sure that this will be your continuous occupation during your surveys. If you change your profiles at any time, it normally takes the computer about two weeks to catch up, and as fraud also looks like this, the computer will sometimes spot this. In other words, be absolutely 100% sure about your age, and occupation before you sign up. Never change your demographics once you have entered them at sign-up.
At the beginning of each survey they will ask you if you work for any certain companies? Anything in relation to food (wholesale, distributor, grocery store, restaurant worker, etc.) such as a car manufacturer, a manufacturer or processor, a government agency, a car rental agency, a telecommunications company, a newspaper, TV or radio station. If you click on "yes" to anything in the list, you will automatically be disqualified. Always click on "NONE OF THE ABOVE". The reason is because this is considered a conflict of interest. However, if they ask if you have purchased or used any of the following items in the past week, month, etc., definitely click on as many products as you think you have used or purchased because this will be what the survey is researching.
DO NOT admit to the fact you done other projects, focus groups, or belong to other survey panels. This will disqualify you from MANY surveys.
Keep an open mind. Doing so will allow you to be in focus groups, as they don't want people who are dead set on never trying anything new.
When asked, "Are you the primary decision maker?" always answer "YES." This is referring to your household or employment. Survey companies do not like to deal with the middleman. They want opinions direct from the person that purchases these products.
A "legitimate" market research company will never ask you to purchase anything, and will never, under any circumstances ask you for your credit card number. They will ask you during your profile sign up if you use credit cards to purchase items, but never ask for your credit card number. You will get some very good paying surveys on banks and the use of credit cards, but you will never have to reveal any personal information. The way that you purchase an item is very important to market research. If you ever are asked to purchase anything, or to give your credit card information, contact us at support@My-Data-Team.com, and give us the name of the company that has asked you for this. We will remove them from our program.
Note: Under a strict law that is implemented to research companies, they are never to sell or share you personal information with anyone else. So you can assure your personal information is safe.
The most important advice we can give you is to enter your information carefully to assure it is correct when signing up for these programs. For example a wrong e-mail address entered = NO SURVEY!
VII. Getting your Research Study Assignments
After you have just signed up with your selected companies, be patient. It can take these companies up to three weeks to process your demographic profile, and place you on the rotation for studies. On average it usually takes about one to two weeks to get processed and to start getting research surveys. Many members make the big mistake and join a hundred companies only to find out in a couple of weeks they cannot handle the amount of surveys they are receiving. It is okay to turn down surveys if you do not like the pay, or the subject etc. However, if you do this too often, then you could be removed from the research company's rotation.
If you don't participate in surveys, you will not be disqualified, but you must click on the survey link to communicate with their computer.
So signing up with too many can cause you a lot of extra work, and problems down the line.
How you will get your research surveys
Most of the research surveys will come by way of e-mail, usually a one or two days notice will be given. Some companies will have surveys the same day, so you will want to check your e-mail as often as possible.
When to check your e-mail? If you have the time and the opportunity, check your e-mail around lunchtime, also between 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., and again around 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Monday seems to the biggest day of the week for surveys at this time, but this does change from time to time. You will receive some surveys on the weekends, but not that many. Most of the research companies are closed on the weekends and they cannot answer any problems you may have regarding surveys. All holidays are the same. (Don't expect any research surveys the week after Christmas). Most market research companies are open between 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m Monday through Friday. Time Zones will vary. Look for the word "Survey" in the subject line. If the survey pays, it will tell you. You always want do the highest paying surveys first. High paying surveys usually fill up pretty fast! (see quota below). so check your e-mail as much as possible, and your spam mail as well. Be sure to put these survey companies in your list of contacts, or lower your spam filter where all e-mails are sent to your Inbox. (Lots of times, survey companies are read as junk mail.)
Other methods that surveys will be delivered will be through the member's account you set up with each of these companies. You log-in and there will be a special area that will list current research survey projects. Click on any that interest you and complete the survey as required. Some companies will send surveys by BOTH e-mail, and through your membership account.
Focus Groups - You will get focus group invites by e-mail, or by phone, and more than likely BOTH. Focus groups will usually give you at least a week's notice by contacting you using these methods. Expect an average of a two-week notice for online focus groups studies.
What is Quota?
This is the number of respondents chosen or selected to participate in surveys. Each survey will be sent to different ages, gender, occupation and races. From what We've seen on the internet, it's usually between 1000-1500 people per survey. Thats the reason why high paying surveys fill up quickly. Considering the fact that some research companies... have over hundred thousand members, always look for the high paying surveys first!
Once the market research company has received the intended number of responses your chance is gone. If you are invited by mail to take part in a survey take it quickly, slots are normally filled within hours.
We suggest you not be overly picky when you receive your first few assignments; this will build up a good rapport with these companies, and you will stand a better chance of getting more research surveys in the future. Just a suggestion!
VIII. How to do your Research Study Assignments
After you have decided to do a particular research survey, you will need to know some important tips.
Problems accessing survey
Once you go to survey and you can't get the survey to start, you will need to check some of your computer settings. First you must de-activate your pop-up blocker during surveys. Most surveys have their very own pop-up blocker. All cookies, sound, active-x controls, and windows media player must be ACTIVATED (this should be set up as default on your computer). You may need to download a newer version of Internet Explorer to process the surveys. Normally the survey will tell you what the problem is and what needs to be done, or you can contact the research company's customer service. These are not viruses; they just need all of these controls active to make the survey fully functional. We suggest you use Windows Media Player for surveys if a video player is required. Many surveys are about TV commercials or movie trailers, which is really exciting because you get to express your opinion about up-coming movies, or fast food, and actually get paid for it!
Most common types of surveys to expect
The Food Industry: Nearly half of the surveys conducted worldwide are about food! What you eat, where you eat, how do you purchase food, which grocery store do you use most often, what products do you purchase, which brand of cereal do you prefer, what fast food restaurants do you eat at, what dine-in restaurants do you go to, etc. That is why it will be important to not disclose that you work in the food industry like a grocery store or restaurant as you will most likely NOT be chosen to participate in any form of food surveys. As mentioned earlier, this is a "conflict of interest".
Filling our the survey
Do not take too long doing surveys or you will be disqualified from this particular paying survey. The reason is that a lot of adults let their children complete surveys and the children become confused about the questions. Read the time entered in the e-mail. They will allow a few minutes variation.
Consistency of your answers? Be sure your answers are consistent on every page when completing surveys. Sometimes they will throw in a "weird" question in the middle of the page to see if you are paying attention. Think: accuracy, concentration, thought and speed.
Never skip a question page, and then try to go back. Many surveys will not allow you to gain access to the page you have skipped. If you honestly don't know the answer to the question, guess! Look things up if you don't know what they are asking by doing your own research on the Internet using Yahoo or Google to perform searches.
http://www.Google.com
http://www.Yahoo.com
Contacting the survey company
If you do need to contact the survey company about a problem, please keep it business like, courteous, and send the survey number with your e-mail letter. Keep it short. They will contact you within a couple of days; it will be either a personal or a computerized response.
Keep good records of completed research surveys
Always keep a record of any completed "paid" surveys, such as the survey number, the time you started the survey, and the time you completed it. Also keep track of the amount that was paid for each particular survey. If you have a problem with a research company not displaying your earnings for a completed survey, keeping these records can help clear any problems up very easily when you supply this information.
Once you have signed with some companies, your extra cash is on its way; this does not require any initial investment. However, you need to know that for each marketing research company you will get about 4 or 5 surveys a month, Because of this, you should sign up with more than 25 companies if you want to make serious money. The higher the number the better.
But remember to start out with no more then 25 to get a feel for the amount of surveys you will receive. Eventually you can work your way up to more companies. With 50 market research companies in your portfolio, you can easily make $3.000 monthly. Remember, this will take up more time in your day, so be prepared to do some work.
IX. 300+ Research Companies
We currently have over 300 personally screened research companies listed for you to choose from. The dates you see next to the research companies are the date they joined our list. Although we do check up on these companies from time-to-time, it is primarily up to you to keep us informed about any problems you run into with any of these companies. We will remove companies that no longer offer cash for pay, ask for additional payments, and/or credit card information. Keep in mind that some of these companies do offer prize drawings ALONG WITH cash research project surveys.
