Hear from panelists who've made VIP Panelist part of their routine — from first-time testers to 10-year veterans.
"I've been a panelist for almost 8 years. It genuinely feels like my input matters — I've seen products change based on feedback I know I gave. The pay is reliable and I love that I can do most studies from home now."
"I signed up thinking it was too good to be true. Got my first check in less than a week after finishing a laundry study. The whole curbside pickup process took maybe 10 minutes. Easiest side money I've ever made."
"As a stay-at-home mom, the virtual sessions are perfect. I can do a 45-minute video call during nap time and earn $75. My husband and I both joined — we refer friends constantly because the referral bonuses are real."
"I'm based in Toronto and only found out virtual studies were open to Canadians through a friend. Did my first virtual study last month — a shampoo feedback session — paid $60 USD. Just signed up my wife too."
"I've done baby diaper studies with both my kids. The researchers are kind, the pay is excellent — $120 for a two-hour session — and honestly it's fun to think my babies helped make diapers more comfortable for other families."
"I'm a retired teacher with time to spare. I do 2–3 studies a month — mostly virtual. Last year I earned over $900 just from this. The team is professional, respectful, and they actually listen to what you say."
We're committed to being the most transparent, most rewarding, most accessible consumer research panel in North America.
