Doing Experiments Can Be Profitable

By Gary Foreman

Boosting income has always been a way to achieve goals, get the things we dream of or even just survive. This is particularly true in today's economic recession where any extra cash is most welcome. One sure fire way of making a bit of supplemental income is partaking in experiments and study groups. This article deals with how to make money doing experiments.

Millions of people across the globe take part in medical experiments every year to earn money. Although this may sound like volunteering to be a human guinea pig, these experiments are safe and the biggest risk to participants is boredom and the inconvenience of follow up visits.

These experiments are popular income generators world wide and although they may sound like something from a horror movie, are professionally administered and safe. The biggest danger facing those who take part is generally cold stethoscopes, boredom and having to come back in for follow up visits.

A wide range of medical experiments are available from simple, quick questionnaires to protracted drug trials. Most take no more than an hour or so and the only real inconvenience are the possible follow up visits. The more detailed and lengthy studies pay more but the quickies can be more lucrative as one can simply partake in more of them.

Sometimes the experiments involve a medical interview or examination which may require the participants to undergo a physical check up, MRI scan, EKG or have blood tests done. Although these usually pay more than the quiz style experiments, you may want to avoid them if you are queasy.

Pharmaceutical trials take far longer and are usually very specific regarding who takes part. If you are prone, for example, to hay fever, you may take part in new drug trials where you will be given either a placebo (an inert, harmless replacement) or the actual drug and then have your reaction monitored to check the efficacy of the medication.

You can also volunteer to undergo testing of new procedures or treatments if you suffer from a pre-existing condition and are currently receiving alternate treatments. Again, these are all safe and are only carried out to check the efficiency of the particular treatment or procedure prior to its release or institution.

These experiments are not only valuable as a cash generator for the participants, but of huge value to the medical community and eventually for those who benefit from medication, research or procedures once they are released.

These experiments are not only a good source of alternate income but also serve as an invaluable source of medical research and for this reason are well worth consideration.
