Participants are paid for their time and insights for each study.
Is market research legitimate?

Why am I being asked to participate?
3
Researchers are looking for people whose experiences, opinions, or backgrounds match the needs of a specific study. Every study has unique qualification criteria, so not everyone will be eligible for every opportunity. Insights are always in demand!
How is my privacy protected?
4
Your privacy is important. Information collected during the screening process is used only to determine eligibility for research opportunities and to coordinate participation. Personal information is never sold and is shared only when necessary to facilitate participation in a study.
Will my personal information be shared?
5
Only the information required to qualify and coordinate participation is shared with the research team conducting the study. Your last name, contact information, and any personal identifying information will never be shared, and is only used by Unveiled Research for contact and payment processing. Your responses from research participation are typically combined with those of other participants and reported in aggregate whenever possible.
How much do participants get paid?
6
Compensation varies based on the study type, topic, length, and audience. Incentives can range from $25 for a brief online survey to several hundred dollars for in-depth interviews, focus groups, or specialized professional studies. On average, most of our focus group and usability sessions start at a compensation point of around $100 for 1-hour of time!
How do I receive payment?
7
Payment methods vary by study and may include electronic gift cards, prepaid cards, PayPal, ACH transfer or Venmo. Participants receive payment instructions before the study begins.
How much time does participation require?
8
Studies vary in length. Some online surveys take only a few minutes, while interviews, focus groups, and other research activities may last anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Time requirements are always communicated in advance, and payment amounts are directly correlated to the amount of time required to participate.
Why do some studies ask detailed screening questions?
9
Researchers use screening questions to ensure they are speaking with the right people for each study. These questions help maintain the quality and integrity of the research and are standard industry practice.
Why What happens if I miss my scheduled session?
10
Researchers rely on participants to attend as scheduled. Missing a session without notice may affect eligibility for future studies and could result in forfeiture of the incentive.
