The Story Behind Paid Panelist
Built from years of real experience in the paid research world — by someone who lives it every day.
Sergio
Founder of Paid Panelist
My name is Sergio, and I'm the founder of Paid Panelist.
I first stepped into the world of usability tests, focus groups, interviews, and online paid opportunities in 2022. With ongoing health issues, finding this space wasn't just unexpected. It felt like a real blessing at exactly the right time.
The early months were humbling. I made less than $200 total. In California, that barely felt like anything. But I kept going. I learned where the better opportunities were, joined panels, downloaded the right apps, found the right groups, and stayed consistent. With every new discovery, my monthly earnings grew.
What began as a small side experiment turned into something I never imagined. I've now completed over 1,000 studies and paid opportunities. In 2024, I earned over $60,000 from research studies alone, and my lifetime earnings have surpassed $100,000. Even living in California, I can realistically see this becoming a solid way to make a living. And the best part is that the space keeps expanding, with more panels and opportunities available now than ever before.
Throughout all of this, I've built Paid Panelist mostly on my own. I started with little to no technical experience, but I had a clear vision: create the tools I wish I had from day one. Tools that make this journey simpler, smarter, more profitable, and honestly, more enjoyable. My health challenges didn't disappear, but I pushed forward anyway. I became a college student and poured everything I learned into building this platform.
Paid Panelist is the system I always wanted. It turns years of trial, error, and hard-won knowledge into practical tools and optimizations that help you move faster and miss less. Efficiency. Convenience. Never letting great opportunities slip by. And this is only the beginning. More features are on the way as the platform continues to grow.
