Research Participants Institute
There are two ways you can earn money with RPI:
1. Via their online program where you engage in a discussion group reviewing products in a virtual setting or
2. You can participate in their in-person focus groups when they become available in your city.
These focus groups will usually pay you very well for your time, ranging from $80-$100 for a few hours of your time to $400+ for a longer chunk of time (6-8 hours spread over 1-2 days).
RPI also offers the opportunity to get paid to be an online juror. You will not actually be a true juror in a court of law but more of a mock juror to get your vote on a case to gauge reaction to what could be a case tried in a court of law. I have done this before and it is a legitimate opportunity, although it can sometimes be a lot of reading for what turns out to be a small paycheck (of about $10.00).

Online Focus Groups
I transitioned over to online focus groups after I saw how well paying they can be. If you get signed up to enough of these focus group companies in your city, you can stand to make a good amount of extra cash.
The money isn't steady but it can pay anywhere from $75-$300 per study, so it might very much be worth your time.
The better paying focus groups are the ones that you can physically go to. To find these , simply do a google search in your city for paid focus groups.
If you prefer to do this type of thing from the comfort of home, I would suggest looking at my list of legitimate online focus groups which you can find here.
