I dont know about surveys being slow at the moment but the Focus Groups are coming in for me thick and fast.
I have 4 to attend on the same day next week...all at different times and all in London not far from each other, may get time for a quick cuppa in between them :) and they bring me the grand total of £210.00...not a bad days work I think.
Have also been selected for a shampoo trial from The Litmus Test, and today had a very nice $25 paid into my paypal account from Communispace for taking part in their weekly discussion foums... Looks like 2012 may be a good year for me :)

Congrats - get as much money as you can - I've been getting a lot from Focus Groups (just a pity I don't live near London)....
Also been getting quite a few from Justtheanswer at the mo....

I know Terence, its a shame for other people that the majority do seem to be in London.

I would consider moving for that kind of money, as employment is quiet difficult at this moment in time.

Seems to be the same all over Terence, even for those of us who are employed the Surveys and Focus groups still come in handy.

Why I like surveys: Apart from my relatives considering me to be an opinionated old whatsit,they give something to do and the cash helps with the cat treats.

I don't live near anywhere so it looks like I won't be taking any!!

About me: I love surveys! You can't tell from reading any of my posts, though, can you?! I am a full time worker with two children and a full time house husband, are you jealous?
Why I like surveys: They are fun, interesting and lucrative, not to mention the fact that they can lead to amazing things!

I did find a site called Focus Groups but think this is American....however, I discovered that you can sign up for online and telephone interviews by going to www.focus4people.com and just scrolling down the list of all available groups...some of these are outside London and some of them are simply telephone interviews...they are running two right now which are inhome and online and another few which are telephone....give them a go....you never know, you might soon be earning as much as Janet, and not living in London!

It is handy to be central, but having been to London a few times, I am sorry, I will stick to where I am, I don't fancy living there! :(

What is the best way to get involved in focus groups? Maybe silly question never looked at it before. Thanks

If you Google paid focus groups bumble, you will find them, check which ones you think will be suitable for you and just sign up, most of them email you with projects which you can apply for but on say Focus4people you can log in and check for new ones.
There are a lot in London, but sometimes you do get phone interviews so give it a go, its always worth trying to earn a little extra

Good Luck
