How are market research conducted?

In reviews of the work, Millionagents note that usually these are photos of goods with a price tag, barcode, discounts or photos of entire shelves with goods.
The following is the automated processing of the data. All information is sent to moderators who process the received photos. They enter all the data into the system. The work of this employee is necessarily monitored by a higher mentor.
All data is collected, compiled and transmitted to customers. In some reviews of Millionagents, customers write that the results are rigged, agents send outdated data. It should be noted that there is no evidence or confirmation of such words, but one should not lose sight of the fact that data is collected and processed by many people. Therefore, the so-called human factor cannot be ruled out.

Agent reviews

- Allows you to make money on a regular trip to the store. Those who regularly visit stores will have no trouble finding the right product and taking a picture of it. Each trip to the store can bring money.
- A good extra income that does not require much effort.
- Work as an agent does not allow you to stay at home, makes you go outside and in bad weather.
In addition to the positive, there are a number of negative reviews about working at Millionagents as an agent:
- Sometimes you have to spend a lot of time looking for goods, especially in hypermarkets.
- There are many cases when store employees are forbidden to take pictures. A lot of time is spent on proceedings with them.
- The quantity and availability of work varies by city. In large cities, for example, in Moscow, there are much more tasks than in small settlements, and in some of them there are no projects at all.
Moderator
The moderator processes the data that was received by local agents. The job is mostly about checking photos.
You can register at office.millionagents.com. Reviews speak of simple registration. You only need to specify a name, email address, phone and come up with a password.
The site Millionagents shows approximate earnings - 100 rubles per hour. You can also calculate your approximate earnings per month. The amount depends on the schedule (how many days and hours are you willing to spend on work). With a seven-day work week with a 12-hour work schedule, you can earn almost 45,500 rubles, according to the Millionagents website.
But there are a number of nuances. From the feedback of PC operators at home, Millionagents, we can conclude that such earnings are unrealistic, without even questioning the correspondence of the indicated and real cost of the tasks. There are simply so many tasks in the program. Often moderators sit for several days without work.
Become a moderator is very easy. Persons over 18 years old are allowed to work. This is the only limitation. Internet and computer needed. You can work from anywhere in the world.
To become a moderator, you first need to undergo training, then successfully pass the exam. Only then can you get to work.
Training and getting started
For training on the site there are 2 types of tasks:
- Product Search. Given a picture and description of the product that you want to find on the image. You need to be very careful, because the description and the picture at first glance coincide, but often it turns out that insignificant parameters differ: sizes, quantity, volumes, tastes, packaging.
- Text input. In this task, you need to enter information (brand, barcode, quantity) about the product shown in the photo.
The number of assignments in training, according to reviews of Millionagents, is very difficult to determine, but you can pass the exam at any time. There is no mandatory minimum after which the site allows you to pass the exam. You can take the exam right away, even without training.
The exam itself consists of 20 tasks (10-search for goods and 10-text input). Time is limited, there are 20 minutes to go. The result comes immediately. In case of unsatisfactory result, 2 more attempts are given to pass the exam successfully.
Before starting work, you will also need to indicate how remuneration will be withdrawn. Money can be withdrawn in several ways:
- On the balance of the phone. The commission will be 3%.
- To a bank card. Commission 20 rubles + 2.8%.
- Yandex Wallet. No commission is charged.
- Bank account. No commission is charged.
When all the formalities are completed, you can begin to work. To do this, follow the link that will appear after the successful passing of the exam. Then go to the "Pipeline Moderation / Reports" tab. Millionagents PC operators in the reviews recommend making many attempts. If the tasks do not immediately appear, then after a few minutes you need to click on the "Try to take more" button or contact the chat.
There is round-the-clock chat support for mentors, as well as other employees. You can contact the chat with any question. If the mentor does not help, then other participants will help.
Moderation Types
In total, there are several types of tasks in moderation:
- Checking the availability of a particular product in the photo. Several photos of the product (item) and price tag are given, as well as the necessary information. It is necessary to determine whether the product was found by the agent. If the information and the photo match, then all the data fits into the database. If there is no product in the photo, then the photos taken are rejected. Then the task is sent to the agent for revision.
- Checking the absence of goods. If the agent does not find the right product on the spot, then he sends photos of all the shelves where the desired product can be found. The moderator should study on the Internet how the product looks, look at all the photos of the shelves. If the goods are on the shelf, the agent’s report is rejected and sent to him for revision.
- Search for a specific product in the database of companies. From the photo of the product and the price tag, you need to find it in the database. If it is found, then the necessary information on it is entered into the system. If it is not in the database, then you need to specify this.
- Recognize the goods. After it was not found in the database, this information is checked again. If it really is not there, then information on such a product is added to the database.

Millionagents findings
Based on the reviews of Millionagents and the information that is on the Internet, several conclusions can be made:
- The company really pays its employees. However, there are often delays in payment. You need to be prepared for this. The payment of employee benefits usually takes place after the customer pays for the marketing research. It takes some time for money to enter the company's account. Unfortunately, not all customers are conscientious.
- Mostly negative reviews are related to payouts. The remuneration of the moderator depends on the speed of data entry, on care, diligence and responsibility. Therefore, earnings will be different for each individual employee. Agent reward also depends on attentiveness and knowledge of the location of goods in the store.
- Big money should not be counted on. But you can get extra income. Such work is not suitable for those who count on huge profits in a short period of time.
- A huge plus of the company is that it tries to monitor negative reviews about itself and solve problems with employees, comment on the situation.
Conclusion
Millionagents today is a great opportunity for a little extra income. Working since 2012, they managed to prove themselves only on the positive side.
In general, reviews about Millionagents are positive. All negative reviews come down to the fact that there are delays in payment (up to several months) and in low prices for tasks. It should be noted here that for this type of activity the rate is quite high.
Is it worth it to work at Millionagents? If you have free time, then it can be used to improve your financial situation. However, you should not count on easy money that will pay just like that.
