Get paid to share your IT expertise

IT Participants is a community of like-minded IT professionals who come together to network, exchange knowledge and resources, and build a sense of belonging. In addition to this community, you can share your valuable insights by acting as a research participant for leading brands. Our members take part in focus groups, one-on-one interviews, surveys, and other engaging research methods - and get paid to do so.

Companies and researchers regularly need to speak with IT professionals. Why? Because they want to understand what things are most important to you! They use the insights gathered to help shape their products and messaging in order to fill gaps that may exist in the market.

How it works

Getting started

You begin by signing up. From there, we will send you projects that are relevant to you and your expertise.

Participating

You will be connected with a researcher who is eager to hear your perspective on a given topic. Sharing your perspective may occur in one of three formats, an in-depth interview, a focus group, or a survey.

In-depth Interview: a one-on-one meeting between you and the researcher where you can share your expertise.

Focus Group: a group meeting with you, other IT professionals, and the researcher where you can interact with your peers and discuss the given topic.

Survey: a questionnaire is distributed to you that includes a variety of questions prepared by the researcher and you are given the opportunity to share your thoughts through your answers.

Earning

After making your valuable contribution to the work of the researcher, you will be compensated; it really is that simple.
