Blarry.com is the website for Blarry House Research, located in San Francisco.  This company is an online survey company that conducts its research through focus groups, rather than questionnaires.  The focus groups meet either on the internet or by telephone.  Participants are asked to give their candid responses about their professions, hobbies and even breakfast cereals.  The focus group is comprised of people from similar backgrounds or use the same products (for example, everyone who likes Captain Crunch cereal).

Blarry.com is open only to United States residents older than age 13.  This is yet another way for your teenager to earn money; however only one person in the family can participate in each focus group.  You can, as an adult, sign up for the site and have your teenager participate in a particular focus group, so even though you have one account, other members of the family can participate.

Payment for participation in a focus group ranges from $40 to $150.  This is a nice survey company to join, the pay is good, although the focus groups generally take about an hour of your time.  The company is based in California, so if you are planning on participating in a teleconference forum, you should have unlimited long distance service on your phone; otherwise you may end up paying more for the call than you earn in the survey.

My first foray into the online survey world came just after I lost my job as a paralegal at a major international company.   I was getting unemployment, but the amount I was taking in was less than half of what I was making at my job.

While I had various headhunters looking for jobs, I scoured the newspapers and internet for a position.  Nothing.  While perusing the internet one day, I discovered a way I could make money while working from home.  All I had to do was fill out simple surveys and they would send me a check!  It seemed easy enough.

A friend recommended cashcrate.com.  I went on the site, read a little about it and signed up.  I had to give my name, address, telephone number and e-mail address.  Cashcrate sent a confirmation to my e-mail address and a link to click.  I did so immediately and was ready to star making money.
