Danny DiGiovanni was between jobs two years ago when he participated in a Yahoo focus group. He earned $70 in one hour. Finding similar opportunities proved difficult, so he started findfocusgroups.com.DiGiovanni's listings generally pay from $50 to $200 per session. Most are held during the day in major cities. You can also contact market research companies in your area and let them know that you'd like to add your name to their databases.
About 25,000 buyers, including magazines, wire services and advertisers, are registered at photoshelter.com, an online archive and marketplace for digital photography, according to co-founder Grover Sanschagrin. Post your photos free unless you want to upgrade to more space for $9.99 a month. The site takes a 10 percent fee for each sale you make. Photographers with quality pictures can easily make $300 to $1,000 a month.
Logan Adams, a senior at Kansas State University, found another way to make money on the site. With permission, he takes photos of children at baseball games and other sporting events and sells the pics to their parents, who see the proofs in an online gallery. In a good month, Adams makes a few hundred dollars.
