A 16-year-old daughter and a 6-year-old son. I am just a real person who has been searching for a way to earn an additional income online and have been doing so for years now. Most ways I have found always involve learning some complicated process and taking lots of time before you would start to earn any sort of income. I spent the last 6 years learning and practicing affiliate marketing. I start
ed up a website focusing on promoting a bookkeeping course and every time someone would buy the program through my links, I would earn a commission. I enjoyed doing it for a while and I was semi-successful at it. Over the course of those 5 years, I earned around $85,000 and then sold the site in August 2022 for another $30,000. Why did I stop? Well, it got to a point where it was just exhausting keeping up with it. See, the way affiliate marketing works (or at least one method) is to consistently create fresh content otherwise my rankings would begin dropping in the search engines. How many articles could I continue to produce talking about the same program? On top of that, I didn’t want to hire anyone to do the writing or other things that needed to be done for that matter, and at the same time was just burnt out on it. It was tough to push through when I would have slow months and I was getting tired of getting up at 3 in the morning before my day would start at work If you have ever attempted to learn how to do affiliate marketing, then you know that it is a lot to learn! It’s definitely not easy and takes a lot of time before you begin to see results. Yes, I do still work full-time for an auto parts supplier as a paint technician and have so for the past 22 years. I wanted to point this out for a couple of reasons. First, I am just a typical person. There is nothing about me that makes me any different from you except maybe the fact that I have learned some marketing skills on the side through my affiliate venture which gave me the confidence to be able to create this program for you. The second point that I wanted to make was that you don’t need to be home all day without a job to be able to score focus group studies. In January 2023, my first-month doing focus groups, I earned $788! When I figure out how much time was put in to earn that $788, It was probably about 3 hours max! Here, I will do the math for you. 788 divided by 3 equals 262.66. So, I made $262.66 an hour for 3 hours of work in the month of January! Is there an easier side gig that will pay you that amount of money with absolutely zero skills? Here’s the crazy part… I had to turn down 6 others because I wasn’t available because of my work schedule! Had I been able to do all of them that would have been another $800 on top of the $788 that I did earn. That’s just under $1600! Not bad for not needing any sort of skillset whatsoever! There is nothing else online where you can earn that money in your first month unless you already have a specialized skillset in your back pocket, are willing to scam people, or you got VERY VERY lucky! I also was able to do this working over 48 hours a week with my job and maintaining my family life with my wife and 2 kids! Are focus groups going to make you rich or allow you to quit your job? No! But here is the good news… there is ZERO skill involved! There is nothing that you need to learn other than how to keep everything in order on your end so that you increase the odds of you being selected. I am trying not to get too far ahead of myself here so bear with me. You can’t just go into this without a plan otherwise you are going to lose track on what you have done, what sites you need to check on, what profiles you still need to fill out, how to organize everything, and how to maximize your time. That is where this course comes into play. As soon as that first month came to a close, I knew that I had to share what I did with others, so I wanted to see what kind of competition I was looking at and any possible ideas on how to structure this course. When I first searched online for detailed courses on how to score focus groups. What did I find? Nothing! Sure, there was all sorts of rehashed and vague info out there on a bunch of different blogs, but I was looking for specifics. I was looking for an organized system that could help put the odds in my favor and it simply didn’t exist. The next thing I noticed was that all the blogs that I searched all shared to same companies to sign up for. Signing up for 10-15 focus group panels isn’t going to cut it in most cases. Heck, a lot of them ended up not even being focus group companies but survey sites… yuck! I remember thinking that there must be more than this. So, once again my affiliate marketing skills came into play, and I began to do some keyword research. After a solid 2 weeks of searching different search terms, I came up with “The List” of over 130 different focus group panels (for you to sign up for all linked up in this course so that you don’t have to go through that). These are all companies that conduct focus groups that are either online or over the phone to US consumers. It’s not going to do you any good if I give you a list of in-person focus group in Columbus, Ohio (Go Buckeyes) if you live in Los Angeles. So that is how I came up with The Ultimate Focus Group Guide. Throughout the course, I will lay out everything so that you set everything up, just as I did, to give you the best shot so that you can also start earning right away. I do everything in my power to go into extensive detail and leave no stone unturned. Oh…. I forgot to mention that when I was doing all that research, I also discovered several other methods to help increase your income as well, and just like focus groups, none of them will cost you a dime! I decided to include these as bonuses in the program since I wanted to keep the focus of this course on focus groups. What are these bonus opportunities? I will also provide list of Bets testing, Mock Juries, Secret Shopping and even finding bugs. Note that bug finding is the ONLY thing that may take a little time to get set up since many sites will have their own training that you may need to go. So that is the purpose of this page. I hope you seriously consider becoming a part of The Ultimate Focus Group Guide and cen't wait to hear about your successes! See ya on the inside!
