Product Testing and Paid Surveys

This is one thing that many people probably wonder about. The world of paid product testing is a bit of a dream for anyone filling out paid surveys. They can get free or discounted products just for agreeing to tell the company what they think. It sounds like a dream come true. Doing product testing isn't always perfect though, but it can be a lucrative and fun side to your paid survey portfolio.

It makes a really good addition to a survey portfolio because most of your jobs will probably come from the same companies that already give you paid survey opportunities. They'll use their databases and in fact use a lot of their surveys to match you up with clients who want to test a product. These opportunities can actually come as a result of a sweepstakes survey. They usually won't tell you its a screening process because they don't want people to lie their way into the test. That's one of the reason you should do sweepstakes surveys if you have the time.

That's just how you get the opportunity though. You probably wonder how it actually works. For the most part it really is a simple process. If you are asked to test some Axe body spray they'll send you a sample pack and have you use it for a week. You will receive a few surveys over the course of the study to ask how you like it. If you are testing something like a snack food you may be asked about other conditions. Products like electronics may also have questions about what you used it for. They are all along the standard lines of paid surveys though. If you like to talk about your purchases than you won't have any problems with product testing. The one thing to remember is that you have to follow the instructions closely. If they ask for some part of their kit back you will need to follow their instructions and send it back. They will reduce your pay if you don't. That's just common sense though.

As you can see, product testing is a good way to make some extra cash without a lot of work. It's really just another form of a paid survey. You just get some cool products to try out along with the survey.
