Kelly asked that I check out TeamSurveyUS for her. Apparently she saw mention of it on a survey board that lists close to 1000 survey sites. Whew! Who knew there were that many out there! Here is what I found. It’s not a standard survey site but one that you fill in a questionnaire, and they will contact you if you are accepted into the program. There is very little information about this company on the Internet, so I hesitate to recommend something that I know so little about.
From the website:
We engage in ongoing research with consumer and business people worldwide. Our research covers a wide range of topics and methodologies. If you are interested in taking part in one of our research projects, for which you will be paid, you need to first fill out one of our screening questionnaires online. Research participants are selected from these screening surveys.
If you are selected to participate in a study, you will be contacted by phone, mail or email at the contact information you’ve provided. Depending on the nature of the particular study, your involvement may include additional questionnaires, telephone interviews, use of diaries, or an invitation to a focus group in your area. Typically, compensation ranges from $25 for answering a simple online survey, to $300 or more for long term studies.
All information collected by us is confidential and is not released to any other party. We publish data only in the aggregate and occasionally use direct quotations for illustration. Names are never associated with responses. Only key personnel within our organization have access to these files which are stored on a secure server behind a firewall.
I bit the bullet and filled out the questionnaire. It was only one page and asked the standard questions. I used a new email address so that I could check for spam, etc. so I can report that joining this site didn’t put you on any kind of mailing lists. As a matter of fact, that email inbox is empty. I haven’t heard from TeamshipUS yet either.
I’ll be interested to see if I qualify for any of the studies. I’m game if they paid me $30 to $300! I’ll keep you posted, and as always, if any of you have any experience with TeamShipUS, let us know.
I got this funny email from a friend yesterday, and thought I would share it.
I know you don’t clean your computer screen very often
and it is hard to do the inside, so here is my present to you.
