Top UX Testing Sites to Earn $$$ Online
User Experience (UX) Testing is easily one of my favorite ways to make money online.
Before I found out about UX testing I was making my money online through random survey and task sites. While those are good ways to make money, user testing is by far the superior method in terms of efficiency and time/earnings.
What is User Testing?
You may be wondering what “User Testing” even is. The basic concept to User Testing is that you “test” a client’s website by either performing set tasks or just browsing through the website as a visitor.
While doing this you explain what you are doing and your thought process during it, as you are doing so your screen is being recorded as well as audio. This is then used to help the client figure out what users like about their website and what and where to improve on.
No experience is usually necessary other than the application video. You are usually paid per video (around $10) and each video averages at around 15-20 minutes. Longer videos and face to face ones can offer the chance to earn more.
Through-out my testing career, I have tested for restaurants, banks, future games, and even for a condom website (You can specify if you want to test 18+ material). You never know what kind of site you’ll be testing next, which lends to fun and new work experiences.
Below is a list of my go to User Testing websites to start getting into the UX (User Experience) field and start making money online.
UserTesting
- This is my top go-to site when it comes to User Testing websites. They pay $10 a test, with longer and face-to-face tests paying more. They also consistently have tests which means consistent opportunities to make money. They pay via PayPal exactly one week to the minute after you submit the test.
UserLytics
- UserLytics is another website that I really enjoy for making money through user testing. They also pay $10 a test via PayPal with higher tests paying more. Unlike UserTesting, they do not have a consistent rate of tests to do. However, I still believe it is worth signing up with them even if it is only a few tests a month.
TryMyUI
- Another UX website that I really like, TryMyUI pays $10 per test via PayPal usually within 4 days of completing a test and pay higher for longer tests. Just like UserLytics, their test rate can be somewhat inconsistent.
Validately
- This is a site that I really enjoy, they have consistent opportunities for tests and pay really well (So far, I’ve seen between $10-70). The only downside is that the tests go very quickly, so you need to respond to the invite as soon as you get the email. But if you are able to do that, then this site can be very lucrative. They pay via PayPal within 1 week of your test being approved.
I think that User Testing is by far one of the best ways to start making an income online, and if you sign up for all of these programs then you will be well on your way to earning consistent money online. I hope that these websites helped lend to your journey of making money online.
