Q-insights – Faith in America Study $250

QI-logoNOslogan.pngQ-insights is another company where I do research groups, focus groups, and online surveys to earn extra money.

They have a lot of stuff in South Orange County and less often in San Diego County. Currently, they are conducting a study regarding Faith in America online.

They are currently conducting two phase study regarding Faith and Spirituality in general.

Who: Respondents between the ages of 25 and 64 years old to participate.

Phase 1: This phase will be online, and it will begin Monday, February 9th. Over the course of 2 months, we will have a series of online journal assignments for you to complete about yourself, your faith, and spirituality in general.  We will post new activities about every week or so, and each activity should take about 15 minutes to complete. This study will focus on your spirituality and things that do or don’t spark your curiosity and interest in this area. The study is meant to be interactive in nature, and our hope and expectation is that you would engage weekly. The platform is available 24/7, and you can complete the activities at any time that is convenient for you.  You will receive $250 for each month ($500 total), but you must complete the whole study in order to be compensated. There will not be half compensation.

Phase 2: Following completion of Phase 1, some participants will be selected to participate in the next phase of the study, which involves a one-on-one interview that will be conducted online the week of April 27th.  The interview would take about 1 hour.  The incentive will be $250.

*You must be available for both phases in case you get selected for Phase 2*

How to Score Free Gift Cards!

There truly is a National Day for everything. And today is no different, as it is National Use Your Gift Card Day.

A lot of us got Gift Cards for the recent holidays, and maybe you have some stashed. However, if you are looking to earn a few gift cards, here are some of my top tips:

Use Apps like Fetch, Receipt Hog, and Ibotta. My complete list of apps where I earn gift cards is here.

Spending a little bit of your scrolling time each day doing short surveys is how I earn the most gift cards. There is a good list of my favorite survey sites here.

I store my physical gift cards in an Ipsy pouch I got at a clothing swap in my purse. I don’t have tons, but it’s always great to have them on hand in case I go into a store or find myself at a Dairy Queen (there aren’t too many here, and I have had a DQ GC in my purse for a while).
