getting paid to try products and new things...legit? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Sublime1304 · 12-27-2010, 02:11 PM

are these things legit? Only reason im asking is because my girlfriends friend was talking about how her and her mom went and tried some products and they actually paid her (cant remember how much). I heard it was good money too. Nowadays you have to be extra careful with scams and tricks but hey if this is legit, i want in. I don't even know where they do things like these.

I bet most are scams. Back in the day(56k modem days) there was a company that you could download their 'tool bar' that displayed different advertisments. Every hour you had it up you got $.25. The max you could earn was $25 a month. I did it and they actually sent me checks in the mail. Only reason I tried it was because a friend of mine referred me and said it was legit.

Easy money when your 17 lol

I think you need to do some research and then ask something specific. Your question is super broad.

bmatyeah · 12-27-2010, 02:46 PM

well, when people come out with a new product they get consumer testing done on the product. This is usually handled by a third party firm. I have tested table top bar games and throat losengers. I had to go to the place to do it. They also do other test where you get the product, such as detergent.

Not big pay but worth my time the two test I did.

Money is money, no matter how big or small

If you want something for nothing then you're the exact type of person that these scams go after. If there is one in perticular that you're interested in then reasearch it and find out for yourself. If you're just posting this because you saw a pop up then thats just rediculus...

no, i did not just see a pop up. i explained in my first post that my girlfriends friend did this and actually got paid and thats how i got interested.

SvicksTc · 12-27-2010, 05:22 PM

ill be testing a product come spring, i wont be getting paid for it and i have to write detail reviews comments etc....

its a innovative product for the automotive industry, however i get a huge huge discount if i want to buy the product once the beta testing is done

DPancoast · 12-28-2010, 03:49 PM

I "get paid" to do surveys and **** on mysurvey.com

its not the quickest way to make money, but when I hit 10k points I redeem them for a $100 check lol. I've done it 5 or 6 times already with no issues.

they also have stuff for <10k points like cookware, and little crappy stuff that some people might use. Some surveys they ask you if you'd like to try a new product and stuff, but its not that often. the most recent one was a deodorant.

the only time i've physically tried something for money (LOL) was when I was with my mom way back in the day at the mall. we got to taste new cheese-it flavors and pick which ones we liked best and fill out a paper. I think we got like $20 each for like a half an hour worth of time.

I did but they couldnt remember what it was. Her mom would know

**Big_Jim** · 12-28-2010, 04:28 PM

There used to be a place in Neshaminy Mall, called Quick Test that did the surveys and product testing you're talking about.

I signed up for the car sponsor thing for the hell of it, never did the $99 payment. I did this a month ago and now this girl is calling me saying i have 33 companies or something wanting to put their stuff on my car. No idea if this is legit or not.

Don't do it man. It's most definitely a scam

GmFwd · 12-29-2010, 01:21 AM

My gf did the trial birth control thing that you hear on the radio. She got like 100 bucks and free birth control, and we both got a kid for 18 years because the **** didn't work. Don't do it

Just give highschool kids rides in your Charger for a charge. You may end up having to greet every single neighbor when you move to a new place though.

or try out for research testing. They are specific in their target though. Sometime you need to be a smoker/pregnant/old/have cancer/etc

Sublime1304 · 12-29-2010, 01:36 AM

i signed up for the carsponsors **** but never paid the money. Thats all they want from you is the free $100 and you get nothing out of it
