Focus Forward is a great survey company to be a member of.
I recieve about 4 surveys a month and some are worth $1.00 to $10.00, i have qualified for all of them.
Payments can be requested once you reach $10.00 in your account, and believe me, this is easy to do!
Surveys are very interesting and usually not time consuming at all!
Customer service is just as good, they always respond and are friendly and helpful!
Focus Forward is a 10+ in my opinion, a must join survey company!
I have been a member of Focus Forward for only about four months, but in that short period it has risen to the top of my favorites list. The frequency of surveys is above average with compensation for surveys being very good. The bonus here is to qualify for one of their focus groups where the pay off is quite handsome. I have received about a half dozen invites for focus group participation and finally qualified for one where the reward is $125. Not bad for a few hours of work and the project has been fun and interesting as well. Focus Forward is certainly worth the time and effort to join!
I have to give a mixed review for Focus Forward.
I have been a member for many months and have received a total of 4 survey offers. I qualified and took a $1 survey. I then qualified for 2 surveys being held the same week. I was asked to participate in focus groups held in locations near my home. Each survey paid $250 for 1 hour of my time!!! AWESOME! Unfortunately, both survey dates were on days when I was going to be out of town. The Focus Forward representatives who contacted me by phone were extremely nice.
Most recently, I received a follow up phone call for an in-home survey where the compensation was $150 for an hour of my time. Focus Forward left a phone number for me to call back to set up a date. When I called the number back, I received a message stating, “This is a non-working number.” I called back 6 times, from 2 different phones. Received the same message. This happened 2 days in a row and I finally gave up trying to get in touch with them. I also went onto the website to verify the phone number was correct, which it was. I sent an email to customer service and never heard back from them.
I love the fact that they have such high paying surveys, but it would also be nice to receive a few lower paying ones. It’s unfortunate that the phone number is non-working and they do not return emails.
I have been a member of this company for several years. I have only been actually able to qualify for about 4 surveys for them and have had a balance in my account for a very long time. Still trying to get to $10 to cash out. This is for the online survey side.
The company also has several focus groups that you can qualify for. I get an offer for these at a rate of 1 every 6 weeks, but I have yet to qualify for one.
I have heard lots of people rave about this company, but for me, it’s not really worth the time I have invested.

This is an OK site with decent surveys and rather reasonable compensation. However, the frequency of surveys is on the low side, so it can take several months before you reach the $ 10 level.
I have been a member with Focus Forward Online Survey Panel from October, 2008, and I have so far earned $120 from them, by doing their online surveys.
For those who are interested in Focus Group Surveys, this Survey Company offers surveys paying upto $250 for just 1 hour. By doing their Focus Group Surveys people can earn money very fast.
They send me surveys at least once a week or more. I love doing their surveys.
Once our account reaches $10 we can request our earned money for cashout. They send us our money through checks.
This is a great legitimate Survey Panel to join and earn fast money. I definitely recommend this Survey Panel to all eligible people.
I joined focus forward online panel last year and earn approximately 200$ check.I am not earn a lot by email online survey(average 1-3$),most of i earn come from focus group surveys,the compensation is very appealing (60-120$).if you qualify more screen survey,they will call you and earn more.
they are very professional on focus group like 20/20 group survey and check payments very fast.
very excit to join the panel and keep going to earn more.
