Message From Elisa, Your New Blog Moderator

February 19th, 2009

Hello and greetings everyone!

It has been close to a week since Garth announced his departure from the blog and it is about time that I introduce myself.

First of all, I am very pleased to meet you. Thank you for the warm welcome messages. I am really excited to take over the blog moderator responsibility and I will do my best to keep the blog fun and interesting to read and updated with the latest news and tips.

Today happens to be my 6 months anniversary at GlobalTestMarket. Time flies by and I love to work here. As Cindy told me when we first met, “a day at GlobalTestMarket is never the same. Every day you wake up wondering how you’re going to make the members’ experience better.”

To tell you more about me, I moved to Seattle in September 2005. I am originally from Belgium but also had the chance to live a few years in Germany. My native tongue is French, so if you happen to see any grammatical mistakes, you will know where they come from :) . During my free time I like to hang out with my friends, take photos, go hiking or take the dogs to the off leash park.

Last but not least, on behalf of the GlobalTestMarket Operations Team, I am very excited to tell you that – YES! It is now for sure – we will be introducing an awesome surprise very soon. Our team has been working hard on this project for a while and it should see daylight within the next few weeks.

So stay tuned, I can assure you that you will like it!

    Bonjour et bienvenue !
    C’est un peu d’Europe et de francophonie qui vient frapper à la porte de votre bureau à Seattle. A l’heure où j’écris ces lignes, je suis au soleil… en France !
    Bonne journée !

    It’s nice to see that you have found someone who can share your native tongue. I have some questions regarding the business matter of GlobalTestMarket.com. I have done the first ten questionnaires/surveys and have yet gotten the opportunity to make some real money. There are no other survey’s being offered. How long does it take to get rolling?

    Nice to hear from you. Dont’ worry about grammatical mistakes, as there are many international members including me, who will make more mistakes than you. I am eagerly waiting for your surprise to be unwrapped, and will be checking this blog for more updates. Global Test Market rocks, and I love to answer your surveys.

    Hi Elisa, I’m new to GlobalTestMarket also. I’m excited that I arrived just in time for a surprise. I live in Arizona–the mountains not the desert. I’m looking forward to getting started.

    Hi Elisa,

    How are you finding Seattle? I visited friends there and we went by sea kayaks in one of the inlets of the Puget Sound – so beautiful. Each one of us were in a one seat kayak. I was happy to find I was being watched by a harbor seal !
    Also looking forward to the unwrapping of the awesome surprise.

    Bon chance tout le monde. Good luck to everyone !

    This may be old news for all who blog here – I usually don’t visit the GTM blog, does GTM offer opportunities in mystery shopping?

    Hi Tanya,

    Welcome to GlobalTestMarket!

    Thank you for your inquiry. I looked at your account and saw that you had completed all your profiler surveys. This will qualify you to participate in more market research surveys. Did you know that to this date, you had already been invited to participate in 2 surveys?

    To ensure that you receive GlobalTestMarket survey invites in your inbox, make sure to add globaltestmarket.com to your Safe Sender list. Check out this recent posting. It will tell you how to do so.

    Hope this helps :)

    Hello question for Elisa,

    First of all, welcome to this community blog.

    Second I would like to know what happened to refferal policy? It seems like its gone?

    Also, is paypal out of the question for you, it seems like older blog posts mentioned it as a possibility, any updates?

  32. Gaurav says:
    March 1st, 2009 at 12:56 pm

    Hi Elisa,

    Wish you luck in your new role and I want to take this opportunity to thank all the team-members of Global Test Market for the splendid job their doing.
    During this recession, Global Test Market has been supplementing our income.
    Eagerly awaiting for the surprise to be revealed :-)

    Regards
    Gaurav

  33. Elisa Mitchell says:
    March 1st, 2009 at 9:57 pm

    Hi Tej,

    I am doing well thank you. I posted a note regarding the Refer-A-Friend feature, please click here to read it. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

  34. Elisa Mitchell says:
    March 1st, 2009 at 10:26 pm

    Hi Eric,

    Hope you had a great weekend.
    In our efforts to serve our members better, we have momentarily removed the Refer-A-Friend feature. The new and improved Referral System will be available soon.
    You must have read about the surprise and wondered about Paypal. Well, the Operations Team has been working hard on putting a new package together, and Paypal may very well be part of it…

  37. Elisa Mitchell says:
    March 4th, 2009 at 2:19 pm

    Hi Jim, thanks for your inquiry.

    At this time, we do not accept any new applications for affiliates. According that what I heard, we will be in a position to review new applications in 2 months (May 09).

    Feel free to check back.

    Hi Elisa

    I have filled out the first 10 surveys. How long till i get to fill in some real surveys. Nice of you to join us.

    Greetings from the Sunny South of the US. Here in NC it was a balmy 80 or so degrees today. Last Monday we had about 6″ of snow/ice and below freezing temps.

  41. GG says:
    March 9th, 2009 at 6:56 pm

    Now we’ll try to finish – that tricky laptop plays games with me sometimes. :) Looking forward to a surprise! Looking forward to someday receiving a check. Looking forward to surveys for which I can qualify. And wondering about the product testing angle of marketing…… Is Global Test Market involved in product testing?

  42. Elisa Mitchell says:
    March 10th, 2009 at 12:16 pm

    Hi Vera,
    GlobaTestMarket does have product testing opportunities every once in a while.
    To ensure that you receive invites and qualify for more surveys, make sure to keep your profile surveys updated with your most current information.

  43. Elisa Mitchell says:
    March 15th, 2009 at 10:19 pm

    Hi Des,
    Thanks for your inquiry and welcome to GlobalTestMarket :) Hope you find your membership enjoyable and rewarding.

    Your account shows that you have started a couple real surveys in the past few days.Congrats!
    Stay tuned, and keep checking your inbox for the new surveys invites.

    Hello,

    I thoroughly enjoy multilingual dialogue. It is normal in so many places! But not way out here, where I live. A little normalcy is nice.

    Most of the time I can figure out the nouns, anyway. ;o)

    Sounds like an interesting group.

    Hi from Alberta.
    It is not warm here yet, and my back yard has a snowdrift 4′ deep all across my raised beds. Do you need to make the sunny south sound so NICE? ;o(

    I probably won’t see the mint till May.

  45. Elisa Mitchell says:
    March 18th, 2009 at 9:08 pm

    Hi Laury,
    Your post made me laugh :) My mint is already growing back. I can’t wait to make Moroccan mint tea with it.

    I saw that you joined the GlobalTestMarket recently. On behalf of the Team, I wish you a warm welcome. Hope you find your membership rewarding and enjoyable.
