Part-Time Income Stratergies – Market Research Part 2

Helping others in the industry help you!

In order to help market research companies with my services, I took the tme out to become a VBP (Very Busy Person) with these companies and made sure that I was paid handsomley with them, so that I could futher my financial, corporate and professional education.

The goal when working with Market Research and Third Party companies was and remains for me to make lots of contacts in this industry so that I could be a person of value to them, inasmuch as they could be people of value to me.

Value, at the end of the day is the name of the game for me in life. Not the type of value which makes you rich, wealthy or whatever but makes you useful to others no matter how deep or shallow that value appears to be. This is why Market Research, via the value it has provided for me – Has helped me to go on holidays, fund private businesses and get my own products and sales into line for registered operation in the marketplace.

The value provided to these services has been more than valuable and like any other sales or self-selling operation, conducting and being apart of market research involves you learning the importnat skills of following up people, companies etc. You have made contact with so that you can better help one another.

Following up a Market Research Company is easy. What I do after applying with a Market Research Company in the Australian Yellow Pages is that I follow them up two to three days later. For instance, if I spent a small part of my weekend, say a Friday or Saturday evening applying for market research before I hit the town, then I always follow up with the market research companies I have applied with on the following Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.

I do this either by calling up the company or else calling in to follow up with somone face to face… This allows me to be known as a very important person to the people in these comapnies and because they know my face and they know my attitude, they may also offer me secondary jobs such as writing/recording minutes of the market research group meeting, or being a cameraman.

Most people dont do this when applying for market research or any other area of their lives and are content on sending emails to the companies asking them if they can help them… So let me in on a little secret to any success in your life, commercial, private or otherwise…

DONT SEND EMAILS!!!

Don’t send emails… To anyone, if you can help it. Trust me, I should know. Emails and spam are common events in the postmodern world which people do not pay much attention to, unless they are urgent. This is why I always call someone in a market research or social situation and say “hey I did xyz… How is zyx going?” I never, ever call a company and go “Did you get my email?” – FATAL MISTAKE!

Contact the person or people directly who can get you work in the industry and only ever send an email to them or do an online survey if they ask you to do so. Otherwise go out of your way to be attractive to them! That’s how you win at both market research and in other areas of your life such as Relationship Management, Sales or Seduction!

What I have also found about contact with Market Research groups is that, if they are looking for the right person or new recruits – Will contact you!!! Usually within the same week upon making application with their company. This is why I expect you to check your emails, as they may contact you via email – But what that means is that you both reply to them via email and also give them a call.

The amount of times that I have sent emails and also called has doubled if not tripled my chances of going and getting into a market research group – But that requires you to be savy and learn these skills that I am teaching you here in this blog article. SO here is the next step to being contacted by market research companies…

Always check your spam filter!!!

Always check your email’s spam filter! Once you have done that and called and answered a few questions you should then be able to go into a focus or market research group with other people around you… This is your key to have input in the public operations of companies and to ultimately be paid.

In the next blog article, we will be talking about the  market research group session and how to help market researchers and other participants around you feel comfortable, better acquainted with you whilst also moving towards that ultimate point of being there – Which is to be paid and help companies improve their products!!!

Until then,

Part-Time Income Stratergies – Market Research Part 1

Part-Time Income Strategies – Market Research Part 1

The ins and outs of Market Research you need in order to help companies help you.

Have you ever wanted free drinks, free coffee, cigarettes or food? Have you ever wanted to shape or mold a corporation or government institution bottom up? Perhaps even wanted to make some extra money to help you pay the bills or go on that holiday?

If so, then market research is for you. I’ve been doing market research on and off for the last few years and have found it to be a lucrative enterprise which has paid me many more dividends then just cash.

When I was going to university, was between employment and thinking about my next series of business opportunities… I was going to market research sessions. I originally found out about market research by accident through an acquaintance I did some work for and he referred me to a contact in the Market Research Industry. From this contact, I found out how to prospect myself in the Market Research Industry and to start generating the cash that I wanted to generate from my input into both business and social change in society.

Below, I am going to list some of the step to finding and making contact with a Market Research company and how to make sure that you are kept in life for current and future Market Research opportunities.

Steps to finding a Market Research Company and Market Research Opportunities…

I found after becoming comfortable doing work for a few market research companies that I could better help people with my services indirectly and so went online and entered in the following THREE MAGIC KEYWORDS… These Magic Keywords were “market research”, “mystery shopping” and “focus groups” into the Australian Yellow Pages.

TIP: If you live outside of Australia, then use your local Yellow Pages or similar online phone directory.

From the Australian Yellow Pages, I found a series of market research groups which were offering their services to the public and I applied for them… Applying for market research means that you get into contact with them and fill out their contact and sign up forms via a registration page.

After you have registered with a Market Research company you need to follow them up. Doing a follow up of Market Research companies reminds them both that you exist as a Commercial Entity and that you are keen to help them. The result of this is being in regular contact with one or many Market Research and third party companies which will pay your for their time, in order to help them prosper and flourish as a business model.

Market research helped me to keep busy in my evenings, with a schedule that allowed me to be paid money, without having to work a part time job which allowed me to get through my education throughout the day with little to no fuss.

Tomorrow, I will talk more about how to follow up with a Market Research Company and how to get into discussion groups whilst behaving and not drawing too much attention to yourself.

Until then,

Part-Time Quick Cash-Flow Ideas Part 1

Part-Time Quick Cash-Flow Ideas – How to Increase your Active Income!

I’ll be blogging about ways to make extra-active income over the next few weeks.

Making an income is easy, having the mindset and attitude that you can make a part-time or full time income is hard. I should know. There have been numerous times in my life where I have been gainfully unemployed and have had to rely on the Australian domestic government for help and welfare.

Did I enjoy this process? Not really, because while I might hate receiving a benefit from the government which I feel I may or may not have rightfully earned, I never stopped working hard on myself and my mental attitude in order to get and receive better outcomes for myself and those around me in my life.

What I learned from working hard on myself and my mental attitude was a little secret and this little secret was… When you work harder on yourself, than you do on your job… Expect big and better things to happen.

Expect Big Things to Happen!!!

Expect big things to happen when you have a change of mental attitude, especially when it comes to finances and wealth. Expect big things to happen both for yourself and for those who are in your life, especially those who you  are currently leading as a leader. I got a lot of skills when I worked hard on myself and who I was while I was looking for a job and what I found was that working hard on improving yourself is what gets your through the demoralizing process of not being able to work and also in the unfortunate circumstance of not living up to others high expectations of you.

When you don’t have any money or two cents to rub next to your name, it’s hard enough to struggle and to survive, but it is also just as hard if not more so to handle others around you who see you as a social parasite or leach.

The type of “leach” who is working hard, very hard on themselves to make sure that they do not make the same mistake again which caused them to be unemployed in the first place.

It is my belief that each of us learn by our mistakes. We learn from our mistakes the way Thomas Edison learned from his, when he invented the light bulb and similar to the way a man or woman who invented the steel capped boot must have also learned from their mistakes when they kept hitting their feet often. When I did classical vocal training as a teenager so that I could be singer, I found that I had to learn from my mistakes and to calibrate my voice. I found often in order to become a better singer around others, I had to do things which were counter-intuitive to me, such as making what I thought was my voice sound less acoustic and more boring.

Yet, this counter-intuition or what I now call Calibration was what made me sing better and win awards at both my high school and independent competitions. I learned in a similar way, how to calibrate and do what was counter-intuitive to me throughout my experiences of being unemployed, or “between jobs” in my early 20’s and because of this, I also learned how to think quickly on my feet, and quite quickly at that.

There may be some people who, after reading this may, even after being dutifully employed for two years, building a part-time business and doing university part time still think that my efforts are the efforts of a “dole bludger” (Australian slang for welfare recipient…) But their attitude doesn’t bother me… I’ve learned and I have grown through my adversity and adverse circumstances and I have become a better human being because of them.

To put my attitude into perspective, prior to being unemployed I was over-employed. What this means was that from early-2007 until mid-2008 I was working 90 hour weeks when I was a 21 year old boy. At that time I was a sales representative for a pharmaceutical and health company while also having my own business, a joint Australian-Chinese software training company for middle managers.

This was a fun and fast-paced lifestyle for me and it gave me the mission, the money and the drive/desire to succeed that I needed. But… In June 2008 just two weeks after I was made redundant from my job, my business folded due to the 2008 financial crisis… It was at that point that I decided to start my degree in psychology, now ongoing and focus on quick and effective ways of making a part time income around what I was doing.

A part time income which would not slow me down, help me pay for my most basic needs and get me out of debt. When I learned that there were easy ways to make quick, effective part-time income, I also learned about how to increase my financial intelligence and this led me back into the workforce so that I could maximize my active income and start to look at other, more long-term passive income streams which would move me towards financial safety, financial independence and ultimately financial freedom.

Because of my development in how I learned to make some fast, quick and easy cash I will over the next few posts be focusing on how best to generate quick, effective and easy ways of creating a part time income, starting with my favorite – Market research and discussion groups. Until the next post on ways to create quick part-time cash flows,
