What's your business, and who are your customers?
It's an online course on how to make money by participating in focus groups. My customers are retail, restaurant workers, and everything in between who are looking to make extra money. If you're looking for an easy way to make extra money, then this course is for you!
Tell us about yourself
I first got started with focus groups in 2020. After I participated in my first group, I got paid $175 for sharing my opinion about YouTube. I was amazed and imminently began sharing it will anyone that would listen. After I shared what I knew about focus groups with some close friends and family and saw that they were making money, I knew that I was on to something, and more people needed to know about it. Thus the Focus Group Academy course was born. I'm motivated by the stories of my members. I love hearing that they've been able to pay their bills with the money that they made with focus groups or that they're going on a vacation with the money that they've made with focus groups.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is that, to date, we have shared over 700 focus groups with our members through our focus group Finder database. This has saved our members countless hours of searching as they now have one database with all the current focus groups that they can easily apply to.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The hardest thing about being a business owner or a solopreneur is all the different hats you have to wear.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Progress Beats Perfection Every Day of the Week. Don't overcomplicate things! Get started, get feedback, iterate and improve.
- Focus on People Over Profit. Work on improving aspects of your business that makes your customers happier, and the profits will come.
- Don't forget to look back and celebrate how far you've come. It's easy to think that we should be doing more in our business, but it's important to take a step back and look at everything you've done from time to time.
