UserTesting

A Great Side-Gig Income Where You Can Use Your Laptop, Desktop, Tablet, iPad, And/Or iPhone

Vorteile:

I love the fact that that there are so many variety of test one can take in order to earn money. It's usually $10 a test, but the more you take the more it adds up. There are times when more compensation is offered, but again it's usually $10 per test; the rule of multiplication comes in when you use more than one device. With the opportunity to also use your own devices from home or remotely (as long as it's quiet in the background), you can use your desktop, laptop, tablet (if allowed), iPad, and/or iPhone. I believe drones can be used now, though I'm not exactly sure.

Nachteile:

Two main disadvantages are that you're not going to qualify for every test. Some tests are based on region, age, gender, if you have certain devices, if you have a certain version software on the device, etc. That's given so it's best to keep your devices and software updated. When you're updating your devices and would like to get back to the test in order to complete it, that's where the problem lies. They should have it where you're able to return to the test in order to complete it.

UserTesting Review

Kommentare: Overall, I like Usertesting's communication with testers who are using their app and website. They are able to get back to you as soon as they can. The app may crash at times which can be annoying, but they give out frequent tests and is the most used website. I would continue to use their app and website. I just wish some of the crashes were fixed.

Vorteile:

I like the app a lot. The design of the app is very sleek. The functionality works good where I do not have many problems with it when it comes to tapping on the menu or when I receive tests. I am able to communicate with Customer Support fairly fast and they are able to compensate when it comes to finding bugs at times. They also have an option where you can check to see other tests on the laptop / desktop which they can allow you to test multiple devices. You do get paid to take their tests and they are very good about giving payment. Though, it may take a little longer to receive at times.

Nachteile:

There are times when the app takes a long time to open after receiving a test. There are other times while you are taking one of the tests which you received that there will be lag time for a minute when clicking on the plus sign. Once tapping on the plus sign on the app, it may freeze, and take awhile to get to another page they may request for you to use. Sometimes after you do that, the app crashes.

QUICK MONEY!

Kommentare: My overall experience with UserTesting was half good and half bad. They had sometimes where their website would glitch and throw my test off. Then I would have to contact customer service with the test number and a few more details which made it a little annoying. The good experience I had with them was that the reviews were pretty short and easy to do when I did get approved. I would get my money within a week and be able to pay for things that I needed. Such as material for my business or gas and sometimes even help my employees out with something.

Vorteile:

What I like most about UserTesting is that it's most of the time quick money. I would review some software or an app/prototype and if the client decided that I was truthful and gave them what they needed to better their item I would get payed in a week. Some reviews were for $10 and then they had live interviews for $40 which was a big bonus for me. It was a quick and easy way for me to get some money on the side, if I had any upcoming bills or needed gas money.

Nachteile:

What I least like about UserTesting is that they would have me go through a little test before doing the actual review. That test determined if you were eligible to do the review, which was the catch. Sometimes I would spend like 30 minutes trying to get approved to do a review and it was VERY time consuming. To the point that I got so excited when I was approved to do one and it was only for $10. Then sometimes it wouldn't take long at all, so I guess it's kind of a hit and miss.

Probably the best User Testing platform on the market, honestly

Kommentare: We're really easily able to add in a qualitative vetting layer in addition to our quantitative layer of measuring data and ensuring we're delivering products that meet peoples needs and ensure our success.

Vorteile:

My favorite thing about user testing as a platform is its ability to generate insights in a short amount of time. The User testing team has built out an extensive network of testers all over the world to make sure that we can get access to those that are under our target audience and in a timely manner.

Nachteile:

Occasionally we'll get a few participants who try to speed through and game the system by giving false responses to earn the incentive. This kind of thing is hard to control and is expected. The User testing team has always been good about swapping these sessions out to not impact our usage.

The New Age Lottery

Kommentare: UserTesting is a great site to make side-income. If you live outside the US then it is much better, because the company pays you in dollars which would be easily a lot more in your currency. I would highly recommend UserTesting to those who are constantly on their laptops/desktops because all you need is to keep the site open and wait for the 'ding' sound while continuing with your work in the next tab. It is easy to understand and honestly fun to speak out loud about what goes out in your mind.

Vorteile:

1) Your payment per test ranges from $10 to $60 depending on the tasks, the best part is that the tests are hardly going to take you 10-15 minutes to complete. 2) As a tester your opinions are taken into consideration by Multinational Companies, your opinions are valued here and hold some utility. 3) You will be given the opportunity to test multiple products and services, hence the tests are not monotonous, and its always challenging.

Nachteile:

1) Waiting for a test could get really tiresome, because the tests are rarely available. The availability is so low that sometimes you can go an entire week without hearing 'the ding' sound on your laptop. 2) Qualifying for tests is another aspect in which most people lose out. You may be online when a test is available but it is not always possible to qualify for a test. 3) The UserTesting mobile app is not always going to pop-up with notfication when the tests are available. Infact, in my experience the app has never notified me about any tests. 4) Sometimes when you are qualifying for the tests, the survey stops in the middle because the test already has enough users to begin, which invariably leads to wasting the time you spent on filling out the form.
