Eye Of Singapore

A large majority of the producers of goods and services in a developed economy wholesale their products to distributors and do not have direct contact with their ultimate customers, the consumers. This creates an awkward problem for them. They MUST know what the people who actually buy their products in supermarkets, department stores, etc. are thinking.

To solve this problem they hire experts in marketing research to get answers for them. The market researchers use surveys to measure consumer opinion. Thousands of such surveys are being made online every day. So how do they get “volunteers” to take the time to answer all those surveys? They make it worth their while by paying survey participants for their time and opinions.

That’s how you have the opportunity to participate in paid market research.

O.K. So how does this work, exactly? What must you do to get paid to do surveys?

In order to get in you have to be invited to participate. The way you get invited is to get your name and demographic data on file with a number of good survey makers, the people who actually send out the surveys, the ones who maintain lists of prospective survey participants.

Of the more than 700 survey makers in the U.S. (Over 3,000 worldwide) only about 20% are first class, offering only legitimate paid online surveys that pay well and respect your privacy. The second tier, about 40%, pay less but are still worthwhile. The last 40% are just no-pay/low-pay time-wasters and sales companies, to be avoided!

Fine. How then do you find the good survey makers and avoid the bad ones?

Start with a reliable paid online surveys review site. They keep track of which paid survey membership sites have good lists and which do not. Just check on the link in this paragraph to check out a good one.

During my research into fasting, I came across the Master Cleanse diet, and I discovered it to be highly regarded in the fasting world. Most recently it was brought into the media’s attention again by Beyonce giving credit to the cleanse for their getting into shape.

Reports of other’s experiences were very encouraging to me and gave me an idea of what to expect. A few of the people who I spoke with about the master cleanse diet who had attempted it did not have the discipline to get by the first two or three days. As most fasts require not eating I have never been able to stick with it for more than a day. Technically, being a juice fast the master cleanse does offer some sustenance (the lemonade drink used for the cleanse is also why it is called the lemonade diet by some.)

The Master Cleanse follows a simple routine, however it isn’t exactly easy. Even with so few rules to follow it can be trying due to the will power required to get past the first few days. Though I found a great book called the Master Cleanse Secrets that gives lots of tips & advice to make it much, much easier.

It is hyped a lot for the weight loss one can achieve but I’m not over-weight so that is not why I am interested in it. I did it for the toxin cleansing benefits. I felt really tired and sluggish lately and enough people have told me how much better they feel after a fast that I went for it once more.

The original book states to spend 10 days on the cleansing program, though I’ve heard of people staying on it longer. Like 20+ days long.. I decided to commit to only 5 days to see how I reacted. Considering I never made it past 2 days before that was quite an accomplishment.

I have to give credit to the secrets book. It was a great resource that kept me going when I hit a sticking point . Just from reading it I had much more confidence in my chance of success. The extra confidence surely led to my success.

Another good thing was the timing was perfect as I had recently spoken with my doctor about fasting. If you are thinking of trying this or any kind of fast you should definitely clear things with your doctor first. It’s your health don’t play games.

I fell so much better after the 5 day cleanse that I think I am going to go for the full ten days next time. One suggestion I can offer is to take it easy when trasnitioning back into eating (the secrets book gives excellent guidance on this.)
