This is a market research company that matches qualified individuals with marketing studies. I've…read morebeen chosen for several sessions ranging from product logos, vacuum cleaners, politicians and banks. It's neat to get paid to give your opinion, and to be able to discuss it with other people. The office is a little tough to find but once you're inside, you'll find a reception desk and seating. They usually provide snacks before the study. Most studies I've participated in have taken place after 6pm, so if you work a 9-5 job but still want to share your opinion, give Cypher Research a call. It's definitely not a way to make guaranteed income, but it's nice to leave with a crisp $100 bill a couple times a year. The only reason they get four stars is because they'll send out emails looking for participants, then they don't answer their phones for several days. They could probably use a couple more people to field calls.

I've been a part of many online market research studies but my experience at Cypher Research was my…read morefirst in person study. Honestly, I was skeptical initially. I did a lot of research to ease my mind and was so glad to find a very legitimate company. The process to apply for studies is fairly simple. You can sign up via their website and they'll email when you are a qualified study match or browse their social media outlets for posts. Several applications in, I was matched for a study. I received a phone call where I could ask questions about the process and receive information about the study and where the facility is located. The office is in an office building but it marked so it was easy to find. They study started on time and was very easy and exactly as described. It was a lot of fun to give my opinion and get paid for it. The compensation was very fair and immediate. Glad to have found a company near me that offers focus groups.
