There are also sites like YouGov that want your opinion on popular culture and current events. Be sure to sign up!

Focus groups

If you have any free time during the day, you might be able to sign up for focus groups. These are a lot like market research however, rather than doing individual video calls or interviews, you are part of a group. The research company is going to look at a group of people and even the interactions and reactions between the people, as well as the opinions that are given and thoughts about certain products. Again, these can be done in person or online and the amount of money you can get paid for your opinions depends on a number of factors. It is usually based on the length of time taken, but if you are having to be seen in person, you might get extra cash for travel and that additional time.

Review products

There are lots of ways to get paid for reviewing products. If you have any cashback apps like Shopmium or GreenJinn, they often have 100% cashback offers. This means you buy a product and scan the receipt to upload it through the app. You'll then get the full amount you spent back, as cashback. This makes the product free for you to try. Sometimes you get these opportunities with the proviso that you upload a review. So you get free products by reviewing them. There are lots of other sites and apps that will pay you to try out new items and even sign up to free trials. 

Use these great ideas and start to get paid for your opinions.
