    5 Stars Money for nothing and your food for free 28/11/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fun, interesting and you get paid

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Currently only in London and a few other cities, there is no expense allowance for travel

    How long would it take you to earn between £30 and £50 on Ciao? Certainly longer than 1.5 – 2 hours I’m sure! A while ago, I earned £30 for 1.5 hours of my time, met some interesting people, enjoyed myself immensely, ate some good food, gave my opinions and fulfilled one of my (sad) ambitions. I attended a focus group recruited by Saros Research. The purpose of a focus group (or forum or market research discussion) is to elicit opinions from various groups of people on products, brands, advertising, or in this case, about the general feeling following 11th September in relation to the economy ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages You can earn up to £50 for 6 months

    Disadvantages Disadvantages wait for another 6 months!

    Back in August, I was privileged to take part in a research discussion in London at 7.30pm and was paid £50 for two hours work, which included free sandwiches and drinks. On arrival, I was met by the Moderator, signed my signature and was handed a sealed envelope with cash, gawd, I held onto this envelope and carefully put it in my handbag and images began to appear before me on what I was going to spend it on! I was taken into a room where I met eleven other participants of female, ages ranging from 30 onwards to 60. The large heated room was comfortable, there were a dozen chairs surrounded ... more

    5 Stars Saros gets Sleevie sounding off. 10/12/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Well organised, well prepared and we were well paid.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Only currently suitable for folk in the London area, or able to get there easily.

    The e-mail inviting me to take part in a group interview didn’t come as a surprise. I’ve always been happy to participate in surveys and focus groups. I think it stems from my deep love of ranting. Consequently, I had some time before filled out an online application to join Saros Research. This invitation was the first to arrive from them, and I was looking forward to getting stuck in to a really good group rant somewhere in the Wild West End. Sadly, I was unable to take part in the discussion about UK holidays. I had already been to one of the sites owned by the company sponsoring the ... more

    5 Stars earn REAL money for your opinions 15/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages easiest 40 quid in my life

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I cant do another one for 6 months!

    Forget 10p, interesting though Ciao is… last week I earned £40 for my opinions, simply for spending a pleasant evening discussing my shopping habits with an interesting bunch of people in a Market Research discussion group. I think this is the kind of thing also called a ‘focus group’, it was led by a market researcher who clearly had an agenda he wanted the discussion to follow as we looked at various aspects of shopping for the home. It was clear the research was for one of the big supermarket chains, I think they are very competitive at the moment and I guess that’s ... more
