After that, though, it's a wide open field.
Think about the way market research works. Companies want to know how the people they'll be targeting with a new product, service or marketing strategy feels. They want to understand that in a general sense, but they also want to here from all segments of the greater targeted population.
That translates into opportunities for everyone.
If you're poor, your opinion is valuable. If you're wealthy, you'll be in demand, too. Black, white, or purple with green spots--companies will be interested in your take on their ideas.
Some surveys opportunities won't fit everyone. Men, for instance, may not be eligible to participate in a survey about birth control pills. However, there will be plenty of other opportunities for guys, including a few that won't take women. It all averages out and it inevitably results in opportunity for all.
If you are interested in trying the paid survey thing, don't let your personal situation deter you. You're a person. You belong to recognized age groups, genders, income levels, etc. If you're breathing, someone will want to know that you think about something.
You CAN participate. Online paid surveys are for everyone.
