Great Part-Time Income
Yea, that's right. You can get paid to be a guinea pig.
I saw a brief report on CNN about joining paid medical research and as usual they don't list their internet source. People have many different reasons for joining a clinical study or medical study. Some are healthy volunteers who may join in exchange for payment. Other volunteers are individuals with different illnesses, like diabetes, liver disease, depression or anxiety. People with known illness may enter a trial because it may directly help them get better, or because they know they are helping others with similar problems. You DO NOT always have to take drugs.
A number of study volunteers participate primarily to earn extra money. Payment is most often used as an incentive to recruit healthy volunteers who derive no direct benefit from the research, such as in most phase I studies. Depending on the trial, testing phase and the company sponsoring the research, this can be a significant amount, from $100 to more than $1,500. Some of the testing involves overnight and multi day stays and requires you to do nothing. Sounds like a great opportunity for a blogger to get a lot of postings accomplished with minimal interruptions.
There are a lot of sites that you have to pay for a newsletter that will provide you with links or you can use this free service provided by Uncle Sam. Most of your questions and concerns can be addressed in this publication, Informed Consent: A Guide to the Risks and Benefits of Volunteering for Clinical Trials before joining a study. This publication also lists additional sources for you to find studies that you can join.
