Forward Focus Group is a focus group research website that conducts compensated research with their database of participants for large amounts of money. I'm talking about $200 for 2 hours of work for example. After signing up for the website and entering my information, I started to receive several invites to paid studies from Forward Focus Group in my email.
I started applying to these studies and eventually got into a study on tech and software. It was a message board that required about 30 minutes to 60 minutes of work per day and took place over the course of 3 days. I received $350 for it with just 2 to 3 hours of work.
That's why I'm such a huge fan of paid studies.
Once you get into one, they respect your time.
My Review of the Forward Focus Group.
Website UI (7/10) - Its pretty old looking, but it gets the job done. On mobile, its a bit more jank.
Applying to Studies (6/10) - It doesn't save your responses on alot studies I have applied to. For example, if you answered that you're 25 years old on one survey, it doesn't always remember that when you apply for other studies. But at the same time, you don't have to slog through so many pages to complete an application.
Time it takes to pay (8/10) - It didn't take too long for me to get paid. About a week after.
Pay to Time Ratio (9/10) - As mentioned previously it took me about 2 to 3 hours of work to get paid $350. Not all studies are equal, but I have done well here.
Customer Service (9/10) - They're a really nice group of people. The study conductors are nice.
Final Rating (39/50) - Still worth it! Check it out!
