Seriously, are on line market research companies and focus groups legitimate?
I know that there is money to be made as a market research focus group participate. I have gone to many different ones during the last few years. I have made over a 00. But these are at regular companies who have actual offices with real staff.
I am always told that you can make money answering surveys on the Internet and it is a great way to make a few extra bucks during slow times at work. But seriously will they actually send you money or are all these just a con?

ignore these spam emails lol, they’re the cons you ought to be looking out for.
the truth is, the majority charge a sign up fee and when you’ve finnished paying they take your money and run, i know this because ive signed up for a few myself.
you should go on that survey vault website, they actually pay you but its not that much compared to a real 9-5 job

Many of the online survey sites are scammy. I regularly get checks from OpinionOutpost.com.
As far as focus groups go those are real. I do a few focus groups a year and I usually get at least $75 cash in person. I use http://findfocusgroups.com
The online companies pay you nothing.$2.00-$5.00 for each survey.I recruit for focus groups and I do get online surveys from time to time.The ones I get pay the same as if you go into a company.I’ll post a link to my site but the server is down right now but If you’ll wait until tomorrow to sign up I’ll contact you when I have a group in your area or online.You can always send me an email.
