Thread: EZ Money

  1. #1

    Default EZ Money

    For the past 10ish years or so, I've done some market research for a couple local firms. Usually, I tell them no, I don't have time or I purposely disqualify myself from their questions.

    Now I don't know if it's because of the holidays or what, but the past 3 months, I've gotten jobs that have been ridiculously easy that I almost feel bad for taking their money.

    Job #1 - Taste Test for beer. You pick up your first case (24 bottles), drink it for 2 weeks.. fill out this 1 page multiple choice.. drop it off, pick up your next case, repeat. Paid $120 (AND 2 cases of free beer!)

    Job #2 - Shaving - testing out the new Fusion (although it's not named.. but it's already out on the market) battery operated shaver. I think we're testing the lotion strips. Pick one up, multiple choice, drop off, pick up new one, multiple choice, drop it off. Paid $80

    Job #3 - Go in to answer questions about TV.. they were overbooked and paid me $100 to leave.

    I did the beer test at Westfield mall/countryside mall for the new miller lite like 5 years ago... what a deal!

    There is a place in Saftey Harbor that calls for all kind of shit like taking home yogurt to eat for a week and get 90 bucks. When I was in college I did all those things whenever I could.

    I do something similar for a local restaurant chain. I go and eat/drink, fill out a survey on the conditions of the place/staff/food, mail it in, and get a reimbursement of upto $55 back in the mail. Basically a free dinner/drinks for a little bit of my time.

    I really need to get back into market research/mystery shopping again.

    I used to do some mystery shopping at like gas stations and convenience stores to get beer and cigarettes without showing my ID. I'd get paid like 10 bucks a shop, plus reimbursed for any beer or cigarettes. I would make a nice route so I could do like 10-15 shops in like an hour. 100-150 bucks an hour isn't bad.

    I also did some for department stores looking for stolen merchandise. Got a free digital camera out of that deal, plus 50 bucks a store. That was always pretty easy. All I had to do was find stolen merchandise, go into the dressing room, take 3 pictures of the item, and email them in.
    If I had balls, they'd be bigger than yours.

    I did the mystery shopping for cigs and beer as well. Except I got paid 15 an hour plus a $20 gas card for every 4 hours of work. Never bought anything, but anyone that failed to ask for ID was fired. I fired something like 19-20 people in a week.

    Can't do it anymore, age cut off is 24

    Call them and schedule an appointment. So easy but their calls can become annoying.... however like PB said if you have any brains you can sniff out what they're doing and disqualify yourself much like jury duty.
