Paid Research Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Do you only offer Research in Sydney?

No, Yourviewpoint Research Recruitment offers Paid Research opportunities throughout Australia.

Question: What is Market Research?

Market research is an evaluation tool that is essential to determine the understanding and relationship between a Company and the Consumer. This type of Research is widely used by various Companies, Government Bodies, Educational Institutions, Associations and others in order to obtain valuable feedback about existing and future Products/Services.

Manufacturers and retailers are very interested in their consumers opinions, with many Companies constantly developing fresh ideas for new products and services, to meet consumer needs. The field of Market Research is constantly evolving due to the increasing pursuit for excellence.

Question: What role does Yourviewpoint have in Market Research?

Yourviewpoint solely recruits respondents from registrations received via the online registration form. We evaluate potential candidates for each Discussion Group by asking specific questions associated to the Research available. All information gathered throughout this process determines eligibility for participation and treated with confidentiality at all times.

Question: How long do the Discussion Groups or other Paid Research go for?

The Discussion Groups and other Paid Research vary from 1-2 hours. When attending Face to Face Research, Respondents are usually reimbursed in cash for their time and participation. Online and other formats are usually paid via Electronic Funds Transfer or via e-Giftpay. The duration, incentive and other information for any Research is outlined in the recruitment process.

Question: Where are the Market Research Groups held?

There are several methods of Market Research Projects offered, with the majority being conducted as Group Discussions/Focus Groups. These Discussion Groups are usually held at a venue near you or via Online Video Platforms such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams. All information for participation is supplied at the time of recruitment and confirmed by both email and Text. We also offer Online Research Forums, Telephone Interviews and Video Interviews.

Question: How do I register?

Registration is free and we are wanting various people of all ages to register with Yourviewpoint by completing the online Registration form. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Yourviewpoint works in conjunction with members of the Australian Market & Social Research Society of NSW and we follow their standards, ethics and guidelines. We adhere to the National Privacy Principles from the Privacy Act 1988.

Your personal information is securely retained and is only used in accordance with the purpose for which it is provided or otherwise authorised by you. The information supplied to Yourviewpoint will not be sold or traded. Member participation is at all times voluntary and we will promptly comply with any request to opt out.

Question: What happens after I register?

When you are selected from our database for an available Discussion Group you will be contacted directly. You are usually contacted by SMS to advise that Research is available, firstly informing of the location, time and date that the Discussion Group is being held.

You will then be asked a series of questions, which will determine if you meet the selection criteria set by our Client in relation to the product or service associated with the Research.

Remember you are under no obligation to attend any activity that is offered. We prefer that you decline the invitation if you feel you are unable to commit to participating, as replacements may be difficult to source at such short notice.

If you qualify for the Research, a confirmation email will be sent to you immediately. This email will contain all relevant details you will need to attend and confirm incentive payment.

You will be expected to arrive at the venue approximately 10 minutes prior to the appointed time. If you are late there is every chance that you may not be admitted to participate and therefore you will not receive any incentive/payment.

Failure to attend may compromise future Research invitations being sent.
