Get paid to use Google

Google is having a user study, pretty simple.

Do I get paid?

Yes – it depends on the type of study, but typically we pay $75 for each hour that you spend with a Google researcher, either in person or on the phone. Most studies last for one to one-and-a-half hours. We don't pay for your travel time, or travel expenses, though. For online surveys, which you complete from your own computer, the amount varies, depending on the length of the survey.

D'oh.


What's the time commitment?

In user studies and field studies, you will typically spend one to one-and-a-half hours with a Google researcher. This will almost always be during business hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm).

It makes sense for them, but that kills any chance of me participating in an online or phone project. Ah well...

So what would I do in the different types of studies?
On the sign-up form, you can tell us which of the different types you are interested in. This doesn't mean that you're definitely committing to anything – we will always check with you before we make any arrangements.
  • Usability study at a Google office: Typically, you will use a Google product or prototype, and give feedback on it. You could either meet 1-on-1 with a Google researcher, or work as part of a group. Most studies are done at our HQ in Mountain View, California, but we have offices all over the world, so please feel free to sign up for this type of study even if you don't live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
  • Remote usability study: A Google researcher will call you while you sit at your computer, and ask you to try out a Google product or prototype via your internet connection, and give feedback on it. You can be anywhere in the world, but need to have a high-speed internet connection.
  • Field study: Google researchers will come to visit you, and interview you about how you use computers or the Web. We won't just show up at your door - we will always check with you, and make an appointment. Again, most of our researchers are based at our HQ in Mountain View, California, but we have offices all over the world, so please feel free to sign up for this type of study even if you don't live in the San Francisco Bay Area.

would also like to know
 
i signed up just in case they ever have any surveys for me to do online. Itd help for not having a job while im at school.
 
Sounds fun... I just wonder if anyone is doing this and thinking they are going to talk about how the only thing they search for on google is porn. LOL Just think about what they would say to the guy over the phone. "What do you mainly search on google for?" "Porno" ".... What is the 2nd thing you mainly search on google for?" "Asian girls" ".... What is your 3rd" "Do you wanna know?" lol

That would be soooo funny, someone should sooo do that and record it.
