The month of February I'll be offering a money-making tip every weekday. Here's the one for today:
Make money on focus groups.
Yeah, I already shared this idea earlier in the month, but I wanted to highlight it again because of the success one reader had with it. Here's the comment she left on that post:
Last week I started browsing through craigslist. Already got two call backs in my city. $75 each for 45 minutes Thanks! I was always under the impression they were impossible to find. And once you go to one you tend to stay in the database.
$150 for an hour and a half of "work". Even with commuting time added in, that's a pretty god source of extra income. If you did one every week, that adds up to almost $4k a year. Not bad at all!
Off to Craigslist, everyone!!!!!!
Just did this! I received $85 for two hours of my time. However, I thought I had read somewhere that you're only supposed to do one every six months ... is that not true? Or do people who are doing this 'once a week' just lie?

I would like to find if any focus groups in my area. How can I start? Should I just look at craigslist in my area? Thanks!

Check out Craigslist. Also call market research companies in your area.
