Freshwater Aquarium Fish

It's a little embarrassing but I Really Did This...

I Made $60 for Less Than an Hour of My Time

A while back, I signed up for an online video interview through Respondent.

I wasn't expecting much. I've seen enough "make money online" offers to know that somewhere between easy money and financial freedom there's usually a guy trying to sell me a $997 course.

But this one actually paid me.

The interview took less than an hour, and I received a $60 Amazon gift card for participating. Not bad for sitting in front of my computer and answering questions.

And yes, I spent the gift card. Amazon somehow survived the experience.

How Respondent Works

Respondent offers paid research studies, surveys, and online interviews. The opportunities vary quite a bit. Some take only 20 or 30 minutes, while others take an hour or longer.

The amount you can earn varies too.

Here are a few opportunities that were listed when I checked:

  • Snack food interview: 23 minutes — $30

  • Work in e-commerce?: 20 minutes — $100

  • Content creators: 60 minutes — $100

Obviously, that doesn't mean you'll qualify for every study or make that amount every time. You have to find studies that fit your background and qualify for them.

But I qualified for one, spent less than an hour doing the interview, and walked away with $60.

That's why I'm mentioning it.

Want to Give It a Try?

If you've got some spare time and don't mind answering questions, it might be worth checking out the available studies.

One important disclosure: that's my referral link. If you sign up through it and complete $75 worth of qualifying studies, I may receive a $20 referral reward.

You get paid for participating. I might get a few bucks for sending you their way.

I'd call that a win-win. Or at least considerably more productive than the hour I spent yesterday watching videos on the Internet.
