The NFO consumer opinion panel is one of the longest established and most professional market research companies operating on the internet today. Although NFO's online survey panel made its first entry into the world of online market research in the 1990's, the original company itself can be traced back to the 1940's, where it began as a market research operation surveying the opinion of American residents. Now, the NFO panel is a global operation with branches throughout the world, conducting research on behalf of the world's largest and most prestigious companies...and they want people like YOU to join their panel.
As an National Family Opinion panel member, you will be entitled to earn cash or prize rewards for expressing your opinions on anything from bubble gum to Middle Eastern politics. Each paid survey you take for these guys earns you points which can be cashed out for real money once you have reached 1,000 points - or $10.* A typical survey pays anything up to 200 points so you can see it'll not take long to get there either. Alternatively, you can choose to enter those points into prize drawings with some really nice prize up for grabs each month. The choice is yours.
In order to qualify for survey invitations from NFO you need to first register with the site which involves the completion of a detailed demographic profile questionnaire. Don't worry, this information is kept in the strictest confidence under the guidelines outlined by the MRSA and with therefore not be sold, shared or in other ways passed on to third parties. NFO uses this information to match their survey panel members with the upcoming studies they have. So, for example, if a partner company wants to conduct a survey on breastfeeding, then women with children will be picked from the list, and not single men who would otherwise just have to trash the email (or lie and ruin the survey results).
Your profile survey invitation from NFO will arrive after your welcome email and it may come a day or two later, so don't worry if you haven't received it yet. You MUST fill this form in or you will not be considered a registered member and will receive no survey invites from them. As a reward for answering all the questions on this questionaire, panel members are entered into a free $10,000 prize draw and every day one lucky panel member receives 10,000 points (equivalent to $100) with automatic entry into this daily sweepstake every time you log in and take a survey!
Once you are a full register panelist, you will receive email survey invitations which arrive in your register email inbox. Simply click the link in these emails, or log in to your NFO account and click the invitation links there, and you will be taken to an online survey questionnaire which, once completed, will credit your account with your cash points. Sometimes NFO will also invite you to take part in product testing trials where you will get paid to test products which are due for market release. We have tested shampoo, chewing gum and a few other goodies since joining NFO. These paid product testing trials tend to pay more, plus you get to keep the products as well.
Only one member of each household can join NFO, but you can enter the details of other family members and they may also qualify to take surveys as well. In addition, if you are an American panel member, then if you refer other members of your friends and family to the website, you will earn a $1.50 bonus for each one who joins which is a welcome bonus.
In all, membership of the NFO Mysurvey survey panel entitles you to earn reards for taking surveys which really is easy money, as well as giving you the chance to have your voice heard by the people who shape the products and services of the future. Can't be a bad deal now, can it?

* Note: The UK NFO Interactive Consumer Club survey panel works differently to the American NFO. Here you earn shopping vouchers for each survey you complete, tyically earning you around £2.50 on average for a 15 minute questionnaire. There are no prize draws or other incentives but the value of surveys is higher and rewards are immediate rather than accumulated points.
