I spent a couple weeks researching this survey company so I could write this Global Test Market review. I have worked with many “paid survey” companies in the past and I will honestly say that this was the best survey company that I have worked for. Instead of stupid prizes and sweepstakes Global Test Market pays a predetermined amount of money for each survey that you complete.

After about 2 weeks I was able to get my first paycheck from them, I was paid $60 for my input on various products, such as some Gillette Fusion razor commercials. Unlike other paid survey companies that are actually designed to push products, this is a legitimate research company. Global Test Market works as a contractor for big advertising agencies, etc. to get consumer feedback on commercials, test products, product prototypes, etc.

I can honestly say that the surveys I took through Global Test Market were interesting, and considering that I did them while I was watching TV it wasn't like I waste chewing into my free time anyway. I would say the average survey took around 15 minutes and paid about $5, which actually works out to be decent money for the time you put into it.

Is Global Test Market legitimate?

As a general statement I am a big fan of paid survey companies, I like to use it to fill in my spare time with something that makes me a little money on the side. I wouldn't recommend trying to fill out surveys all day as a profession, but I would recommend it as a way to make some easy money on the side. If you haven't tried it before, my only real advice is to never sign up for a survey company that makes you pay something upfront. The purpose of filling out surveys is to give the company feedback, to give to their clients, not to make them money by joining membership clubs, etc. If a survey company isn't free to join, then look elsewhere because there are plenty of free opportunities out there and frankly they will be more likely to pay out in the end anyway.

I can testify that Global Test Market is not a scam, I can put my own name behind this because I have received a check from them. They also don't try to make you buy any products before giving feedback on them, for instance many survey companies will ask that you sign up for a product so that you can give them feedback on it. These sites are scams, I will give you an example from one unscrupulous company that I received some surveys from. They asked that I buy a $15/month subscription to Net Flix, and then the survey itself was literally just “How would you rate this product? 1. Good, 2. Fair, 3. Poor”. I found out that the survey company makes a $10 commission for each subscription they sell, and they didn't use the results for anything.

I would recommend Global Test Market to anybody that has some spare time and wants to make a little money. You won't get rich but you can get an extra $100 spending cash a month.
