Online surveys are a simple way to share your opinions and earn extra cash anytime, anywhere. At FocusGroups.org, we have added online surveys to help you make money on your schedule. We know you have had questions and even some frustrations, so we are breaking everything down to make it easy to understand.

What Are Online Surveys?

Online surveys are questionnaires created by market research companies to learn what people think about products, services, or ideas. By sharing your opinion, you are helping brands improve and earning points that can be cashed out for virtual gift cards.

You can find online surveys on our website.

How Do Online Surveys Work?

Before you start a survey, you will take a prescreener survey. This asks questions to see if you meet the requirements for that specific study.

Qualified (Q): If you qualify, you will complete the survey and earn points. Points show up under the Earnings tab on our website.

Once the survey is complete you'll be issued your points.

Disqualified (DQ): If you do not meet the criteria, you will be sent back to our Online Survey page. Sometimes you may still earn points even if you are DQ.

Disqualification points are sometimes given to members as a thank you.

Heads up! Some questions may feel repetitive between the prescreener and the survey itself. That is normal and helps ensure accurate research.

Earning and Tracking Points

Points take time to add up, so do not give up. Our team has tested this survey program and understands it can take a while to reach the minimum cash-out threshold. The flexibility of completing surveys whenever and wherever you want is a huge plus.

Once you hit 2,000 points, go to the Earnings tab to cash out for a virtual Visa gift card. Our staff will review your points to ensure everything is correct, then send your gift card via email.

Tips for Survey Success

Use the filter feature: Search for the highest-paying surveys or the quickest to work smarter.

Use the filter tool to maximize your time and efforts.

Survey crashed? Take a screenshot and contact our team. We will reach out to the survey provider to help.

If you run into a survey with a bug, screenshot it and send it to us.

Read the fine print: Each study has disclaimers, for example, using video, audio, or cookies. Make sure you understand before clicking “agree.” You can always opt out if you change your mind.

Always read the fine print and make sure you're ok with the terms and conditions.

Upcoming feature: We're working on a survey log where you will see all the studies and surveys you have completed, plus your status: complete, DQ, or paid out. This will make tracking your progress even easier and more transparent.
