Some complaints I have read include making you pay for items that you are “reviewing” and Vindale not paying for surveys completed. There are many legitimate survey companies out there and unfortunately Vindale is not one of them. Additionally, many Vindale panelists have mentioned being concerned about their privacy.

All U.S. residents ages 13 and up are eligible to participate. This is a great way for a teenager to earn some extra money. But, it is important to point out that only one member of the household can join. If you sign up for the account you can participate as well and let the teen participate in groups that pertain to his age group. In essence, the entire family can participate on one account, but, each member can only participate is certain focus groups.

The pay for participation is actually quite good. You can expect payment of $40 to $150. Most focus group participation takes about an hour. Before you participate in the telephone forum you should first consider long distance charges. However, times of when the teleconference will begin will be made known to you ahead of time. Therefore, you may wish to choose participation for teleconferences that fall in your free night and weekend plan.

Payment is in the form of a check. It may take you a while to get your check depending on where you are located, the mailing service, and the office workers at Blarry House Research processing your account. Another drawback is that you aren’t guaranteed weekly work. The amount of participation you are allowed to have is contingent upon a questionnaire you fill out in the application process. The more you answer ‘yes’ the more opportunities you have.

Blarry House Research is a reputable site, since I have joined I have only received a few e-mails from them, but, they were only reminders. I haven’t received any spam or junk mail whatsoever. The internet focus group that I participated in was much like a chat room session. It was actually fun and for the most part effortless.

This group makes me think a lot of when I participated in survey groups outside of the internet. You know, before the internet got really big. Now it is actually much easier to participate in surveys and get paid. I have made enough money using Blarry.com in my spare time to buy quite a few nice things. I would highly suggest others try to join. If you are like me you like to voice your opinion, this is one of the few sites that I would recommend friends and family to.
