We provide various promotion tracking and marketing intelligence services for major national firms. They are interested in a number of things, such as the delivery date and condition of their advertising mail. Some of them ship sample merchandise to check on delivery of customer orders. We also protect their mailing lists against mis-use. In other cases, we track what other companies are doing in the way of advertising in the mail. These are essential services, many of which are also in the public interest. Agents are paid per each valid item reported. Any shipping costs are covered by reimbursement or use of UPS call tags, etc. There are extra potential opportunities — some of our agents get to keep certain test shipments of merchandise, or get free copies of magazines. In addition, we often do testing for non-mail order companies and check on redemption of coupon “freebies”. These agents are chosen based on location and experience. Agents who qualify, are invited to become “Secret Shoppers” who receive payment for reporting on specific purchases we are interested in. Visit: Hauser Group Agent

You may well enjoy being a supporting artiste/specialist extra if…You are able to get up early when necessary; have your own transport or access to it; can accept weekday and weekend engagements at relatively short notice; are patient & don’t mind standing/sitting around at times (or all day if need be); don’t mind long working hours (usually up to 10 per day); can cope if it’s hot, wet and/or cold; will happily work under the direction of others; and (although we generally try to ensure historical accuracy) would not feel obliged to argue the finer points of authenticity even if the director has other priorities!

Have you ever wondered where TV ratings come from? In the past, media audiences were measured by asking people to record what they watched in a diary. IMMI doesn’t require panel members to do anything but carry a special cell phone. They use the data collected to tell TV networks, radio stations, movie producers and advertisers which shows are popular and which aren’t. The IMMI research panel member receives $50 for each month in good standing. To stay in good standing you simply keep the phone charged, keep it on, and keep it with you. You pay your phone bill, and respond to IMMI communications. IMMI is working with major entertainment companies and your actions will represent tens of thousands of American consumers. Most panel members are selected at random in specific metropolitan areas, but occasionally they need volunteers for special studies. If you are interested register here.

JUVAA is about making money for doing nothing … at least nothing more than you would normally do during the course of your day. Rolling billboards may consist of as little as a web address placed across the front and back windows of a car to as much as a Nascar-style, full-car ad. Of course, the larger the ad, the higher the payment would be. JUVAA is building a group of people who are willing to loan out their vehicles and/or shirts to companies seeking ad space. If you are interested in becoming part of JUVAA—a team that will shake the foundations of marketing as usual—and in getting paid for doing nothing more than you’re already doing, click around their website and find out more.
