Are you wondering why companies pay people to test websites and apps? We’re covering everything you need to know about website testing jobs and where to sign up!
As a blogger and business owner, knowing that my site is user-friendly and easy to navigate is critical. Because if I’m losing visitors due to lousy navigation, lack of clarity, poor design, or crappy content, I’m losing money. This is why companies pay good money for objective third-party reviews of their websites, mobile applications, games, and products.
To get paid to test websites from home, you must be internet-savvy and have good communication skills. You’ll also need basic equipment like a computer (Mac or PC) with a microphone and web camera, a high-speed internet connection, and an updated web browser like Google Chrome. Some companies allow testers to use a smartphone or tablet. Most tests take 5-25 minutes to complete and pay an average of $10 per test.
Before I jump into the companies that hire website testers, I invite you to sign up for my newsletter. I send out bi-weekly remote job leads, and it’s totally free.
22 Ways to Get Paid to Test Websites
1. Checkealos
Get paid to test websites for Cheakealos. Feedback sessions last approximately 30 minutes, and you earn $10 for each session. They also have live conversations and advance testing opportunities that pay between 30 and 150 Euros. This opportunity is open worldwide; you need a PayPal account, a PC, smartphone, or tablet, a good internet connection, and the ability to speak English or Spanish.
- Checkealos gets a 2.5-star rating on Paid From Surveys, and the low ratings are due to the limited number of opportunities available.
2. Enroll
Test websites and earn money with Enroll. To sign up for the program, submit your email address, create a password, and pick your preferred testing method (desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone). Once you’re registered, you’ll receive emails when assignments are ready. Tasks vary in nature, as does the pay. I did one job that took less than a minute, and it paid $0.10. Enroll issues payments via PayPal.
- Enroll receives a 4-star rating from the website DollarBreak.
3. Ferpection
With Ferpection, you can earn money by completing missions via your mobile phone, tablet, or desktop device. I recently did a test with them that took 45 minutes, and it paid $25.

Payments are made via PayPal or Amazon gift cards on the last Friday of each month, and the amount is based on the complexity of the study (usually $10, $15, or $20).

How to Make the Most Money Testing Websites and Apps
If you’re anything like me, you’re multiplying how many tests you can complete in an hour and how much you’re going to make. But hold your horses! These side gigs are extremely popular! Statistically, there are fewer customers than testers, so don’t expect to be completing three tests every hour on the hour.
Here are some simple tips to make the most of website testing gigs:
1. Sign up with multiple website testing companies. Opportunities are sporadic, so to increase your chances of getting in on the opportunities, sign up with multiple platforms and respond quickly.
2. You’ll also want to create a separate email account just for these opportunities, as they tend to send out a lot of emails.
3. Be sure to take advantage of practice and sample testing opportunities, as many companies will only allow you to pass their test a couple of times.
4. Always do your best possible work. Many companies rate their testers, and those with higher scores tend to get more and better-paying gigs.
5. While you’re waiting for these companies to email you with test opportunities, be sure to add short tasks, focus groups, and digital earning tasks to your routine — this will ensure that you have a constant pipeline of work and income coming in.
6. Watch out for scams and poorly rated companies. IntelliZoom Panel used to be a company that we recommended for website testing gigs, but over the past year, their ratings have plummeted, with many users complaining that they haven’t received payment from the company. Be sure to read reviews and look for websites that have current updates.
Conclusion: Test Websites in Your Spare Time
While you’re not going to get rich with website testing, it is an easy and flexible way to bring in some extra cash. If this work sounds appealing, try looking into web search evaluating positions, too — this post will tell you all about it.
Do you test websites and apps for extra money? If so, please let us know; we’d love to hear about your experience.

THANKS FOR THE INFORMATIVE INSITES.
Glad you enjoyed the article!
I have been searching for this kind of information for a long time now period I really appreciate all of your hard work and time put into writing this article. I was hoping maybe that you might be doing an update sometime soon?
You’re welcome, Shannon!
Yes, I’ll be updating it this month. Stay tuned.
Great info! It was just what I was looking for.
Glad you enjoyed the list! 😊
Holly thanks for the information.
You’re welcome, Ani. 😊
Hi, thank you for your sharing! I want to ask about getting paid to test. What websites pay instantly and only write reviews and take screenshots, not record a video?
I’ve done studies for Enroll and Ferperetion, and they didn’t require a video recording. With Enroll, you have to meet a certain threshold for payment. And with Ferpefction, I think it took four days to get paid. You’ll need to explore each site to see which ones pay quickly.
Good luck, and keep me posted!
Hi Holly. You are super with all your valuable info for multiple streams of income! I have a question about one thing you mention in this article. Under the paragraph “Making the most of website testing jobs”, 2. Be sure that you’re taking advantage of practice and sample testing opportunities, as many companies will only allow you a couple of times to pass their test. Where do I find these practice and sample testing opportunities? Do all these 19 sites have those? If not, where do we find them? I would like to start testing websites from some of these sites as soon as possible. But I also want to pass their tests so that they allow me to continue testing websites for them.
Simone
Hi Simone,
Not all sites require you to pass a test. I know Loop 11 requires a 5-minute qualifying test to prove your suitability. If you click on the links within the article, it will take you to the requirements of each platform.
Good luck, and keep me posted.
Hi Holly! Thank you for the great job that you are doing compiling all the information on these short task opportunities available in the market. I wanted to give you feed back on the company, ‘User Interviews’ which you may add in your ‘cons’ section. There are hardly ever any surveys/ focus groups or multiple study opportunities on their dash board. So what they say and what they offer are two very different things. May be this way they are building their data base. My experience with them has been very disappointing and am now unsubscribing myself from their site.
Hi Rita,
Thanks for sharing your experience! That is disappointing that you didn’t qualify for any studies.
Thank you so much Holly for sharing useful information :).
Glad you enjoyed the list, Jenny!
If you decide to try some of these out, let me know how it works out for you.
I am very sorry but I do not like doing surveys.
That’s not a problem, there are lots of other ways to make extra money from home. Here are some ideas to explore:

Thank you so much! As a woman, I am really helped by this. thANK YOU FOR HELPING ME PAY MY UNI TUITION!
You’re welcome!
Should I make personal or business account in Paypal, in order to test websites ?
Hi Nicole,
You can do either.
Good luck!
Hi Holly,
Great info thank you!
I’d love to pursue this BUT I was hospitalized for a while and long story short my Paypal Acct was closed and Cust Svc won’t give me explanations!
Do you have any articles or knowledge on how to reverse this and be able to use Paypal again??
Hi Bella,
Glad you enjoyed the article!
I’m sorry to hear about your account. I don’t have any information on PayPal account resolutions. I’m sure if you Google it, you’ll be able to find some answers.
Good luck!
Hi Holly do the above mentioned websites apply to people outside of the USA, I am currently residing in South Africa and I am looking for remote work.
Respondent is open to worldwide residents.
I would like to do website testing, but what one could I do on an IPhone?
Hi Jack,
I think you can do the majority of them on your phone — but you’ll have to double-check the requirements when you apply.
Good luck!
Holly,
I have been setup with Respondent for a week or so and submitted 3 survey responses every day as allowed. I have not seen any acceptance information from any of my screeners. Can you provide any info on how/when they accept screeners? Or some pointers on how to have a good experience with Respondent? Thanks!
Hi Melanie,
It can take a while. You never know how many people are applying for each study and you also need to fit the demographic that they’re looking for. But, keep trying — eventually you’ll land a gig.
Hi Melanie, I have been using Respondent.io for a long time and I am trying to identify some standards that help you to be accepted for the interviews.
Is very important that you setup at least two of your social media accounts in you profile, Linkedin is the most important for professional opportunities.
It helps very much if you have a corporate e-mail, think out of the box on how to get one, there is some ways to solve this problem.
Before applying to a research, pay attention to description, most of the time is there that you figured out what are the right answers when applying.
Stay online checking for new opportunities available because the alerts does not work as I expected. Some opportunities have a little time to expire.
An alternative way to earn money with respondent is through the referral program, if you are not been accepted as much as you expected, try to help other at least to get their first one. Sometimes it turns people to go ahead with respondent.
I hope this helps you !
Hi Ntombi,
Have you tried this? And how is it going if you have?
I don’t know how to do testing. Are there other ways to make extra income by working from home? Any other international website that pays you for taking surveys or doing other things?
Most of our job leads are geared toward US residents.
Check out this post for opportunities available worldwide:

I use Enroll. I get very few invites. I like it though because don’t have to speak my thoughts outloud (I’m not good at doing that) so it’s a good fit for me. Actually just got paid from them within past few days- a little less than $2.
Hi Kristina,
I like Enroll too for that very reason!
What about doing UX testing on your own. Plerdy, hotjar, Crazzy Egg – would be great to read about them.
I have read of one guy and his mom that do it as a side business. Pretty interesting:
https://theuserisdrunk.com/
https://theuserismymom.com/
On break from law school, was trying to find ways to make money from home. Stumbled upon your site – love it! Just wanted to give an update on Validately – 2 seconds after this email you get this response – “This test has too many people attempting to take it at this time. Please try again in a few minutes.” Been trying for 2 weeks – bummer!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Sabrinna!
Thank you for sharing this article, Which is the best web from them?
I like Respondent.
What about Utest .com ? What is your opinion ?
I haven’t personally tried it — but if you do, let us know how it goes.
It all makes it sounds so easy, but here is an actual real life experience with usertesting.com (according to most blogs the best and biggest usertesting website). I was excited and the defalted rather quickly.
The caveat is that every test comes with a screener test (1-3 questions survey upfront to see if you qualify) and it seems impossible to actually get a test. After 4 days of spending a considerable amount of time, signing up, applying and getting approved, do their training, reading all of their advice, FAQ’s etc, getting their mobile app (which is also a little more complicated than your average app) etc. etc. and taking every screener test that came up (around 40-50) only to be not qualified everytime (and I’m just your average Joe with a normal job in IT, a house and kids). nowhere is it mentioned that you have to spend all this time doing these screeners not knowing if your ever gonna get an actual test (and make some money). Reached out to support and got a canned response that didn’t even address my concern. Waste of my time, deleted my account.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Henry.
I’ve only used Enroll and Respondent, and neither of those platforms had complicated requirements to get started.
Perhaps, after you do all the pre-testing it gets easier? I’m not certain. Would love to hear from someone who has continued on with it.
The requirements to get started where very easy, you record a test video and wait if you are accepted and I was. No problem, Ready to start earning money testing websites (or so I thought)
Slight misunderstanding. The notion of it getting easier ‘after’ doing all the pre-screaning is not the problem. There is no more pre-screaning to start.
The ‘screeners’ are entry tests for each website testing job that is offered to you on your dashboard and I was just constantly rejected for each job.
But I’ll give Enroll and Respondent a look.
You don’t make very much money with Enroll (a cup of coffee here and there) — but the more studies you do with them, the more opportunities they send your way.
Respondent pays very well for their testing and focus group studies.
Let me know how they work out for you!
I actually have kept going with Usertestin.com. I do have to agree you do not qualify more then not. But I have made a little money with them. $40 in i would have to say a week. Its about 40 No’s to 1 Yes. I am very happy I found this blog. I am signing up until my fingers fall off. wish me luck.
Sincerely, Merakiwriter
Glad you’ve been able to secure some gigs, Amber!
Have you tried Ferpection or Respondent? I’ve been able to score gigs through them.
Henry,
I’ve been a tester for Intellizoom for over a year now. The eligibility screening is normal practice for most of these types of sites, Intellizoom happens to be one of the best I’ve come across so far.
As with Intellizoom and all the others, you have to be available to grab the opportunity to be a participant almost as soon as you receive an invitation to participate in a study.
After you are lucky enough to be able to participate, everyone is screened according to what the client need for each study.
Once your eligibility for that study is approved, you then can go on to take the study/test the website and the studies that Intellizoom are quite fun, easy, and they pay very well. I figured out that if I were working consistently as a tester on Intellizoom, I’d be making $60 per hour because the studies I get typically pay $10 for only 10 – 15 minutes of my time.
I understand your frustration with Userzoom, I ran into the same troubles and have deleted my account for that site, as I have for many other so-called paid survey sites in which I never made enough money to actually cash out a paycheck.
I’ve also signed up on Respondent and haven’t qualified for a single one of their studies even though my qualification scores were near or at 100% for each study offered. :(
Good luck, keep trying. I highly suggest you give Intellizoom a try. It’s something I usually keep a secret in an attempt to keep my competition down and keep the study invitations coming to my inbox regularly, but hey – we’re all in this together and I’ve never been anything but generous with something if I find it’s a good thing for me.
Good luck to you.
Cynthia June
That’s great to know about Intellizoom!
I definitely agree with you, it’s a little bit of trial and error to figure out which ones work best for you personally.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your viewpoint!
That was a really good thorough review of what your experience has been like. I appreciate that!
I am from Ghana and Ghanaians cannot register for PayPal. Which of the sites pay the earnings directly in bank accounts?
I believe all of them use PayPal — sorry.
All kinds of wonderful money to be made online. From affiliate marketing, blogging, testing websites, focus groups, and getting paid to share your thoughts. Who nowadays could live without using the internet to earn decent side hustle money?
I have a problem with registration in Validately. I filled the form and when I reach question about location, I am not able to continue. I set everything correctly, timezone is set right but Next button remains inactive. Already contacted their support but no answer yet. Anybody same experience? Thanks
Bummer. Maybe try clearing your cookies, cache, and history.
Keep us posted.
Didnt work. And worse thing is their support doesnt react. :/
I’m sorry to hear that, Michaela.
Have you tried Respondent? I’ve had good luck with them.
Hello, I am of Cameroonian nationality and I would like to know if the fact that I speak French just could disrupt?
I believe that you need to speak English for these opportunities.
Hi,
Nice to hear from you such a good article. This will be awesome I think. Can you help me with a piece of information? Do all the sites you mentioned support worldwide?. I mean I am from Bangladesh. Could I work from here as a tester?
Please help me with the answer.
Thanks.
Take a look at UserTesting, Testing Time, uTest, and Loop 11 — they all accept international testers.
Good luck and let me know how it works out for you!
Bro, I think you should change your country IP address as our country IP isn’t supported for a maximum international jobs, thanks.
Hello. I would like to become a tester as am a housekeeper with master’s degree staying home. I have no money to put in but am ready to do my best to earn and to make your business growing. So let me know whether there will be suitable tests to my profit. Everything. As it is my first experience ,I just don’t want to get disappointed. Thank’s a lot…
Try Respondent, they offer good pay for their studies.
I’d forgo Enroll, as their studies only pay .05 – .10 per study.
Good luck!

There’s also ways to make money by testing applications.
I was looking into that aswell.

https://entrepeneurblog.my-free.website/appcoiner
When I clicked on that link I received a 403 Forbidden Page.
Hello, I am interested in testing websites. I have experience of 10 years!
That’s awesome! You can start up signing up with the companies above.
Let us know how it works out for you!
Can anyone from Africa, Nigeria precisely apply for this?
Hi, can you tell me more about the testing? My email is [email protected].
Thank you so much for this information. You inspired and helped me a lot. I finally managed to quit my job and work full time with these companies. I have also added a few more which I feel is missing here.
https://mostlyjobless.com/make-money-online-by-testing-websites-and-applications/
It’s such a beautiful feeling knowing there’s money to be made everywhere online in the “side hustle industry.” It make life so much more meaningful to take control of your life financially by doing the transformation work and humbling yourself in the process of being a future “side hustle millionaire.” From online surveys, affiliate marketing, blogging, and running PPC paid advertising on Microsoft Bing or AdWords puts anyone in the blessed position to make money online 24 hours a day. Who wouldn’t want to make money online by testing websites?
Congratulations on being mention on BNN Bloomberg. Keep up the good work my friend! :-)
Wow! this is so cool. to get websites like these where ordinary folks especially stay at home women can use mobile apps and get paid to test websites, is so cool. I love it!
Glad you enjoyed the article, Rich!
You can also find websites testing jobs on Amazon Mechanical Turk and Upwork. There is also another website named ‘Analysia’ that pays you to test websites.
Thanks for letting me know about those other companies, Denise!
I did not include Analysia on my list because they don’t seem reputable. They have terrible grammar and spelling on their site, and they do not respond to emails. I’m not sure if they are collecting email addresses and selling them to companies? If you try them out I would proceed with caution.
BTW – I removed the link that you left because it leads to an unsecured site.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
do you have any website or any method of earning where payments are done through bank transfer??I am from India

Greetings from the Caribbean.
Daphenie
Glad you enjoyed the article, Daphenie!
I love Vaildately!
I receive test almost daily by email and the tests aren’t long either. I’ve even been invited to do mobile tests too.
$10 for 10-15 minutes isn’t too shabby at all.
That’s great to hear, Cory!
Thanks for sharing your experience with Vaildately!
Hi – You might reconsider including StartUpLift. That actually goes to a site called SideIncomeJobs.com and they CHARGE you, the worker, a monthly or yearly fee for “membership.” On top of that no real-world examples of available gigs are discussed and reviews are poor. Perhaps you have more insider information on them? But from a person looking for a side hustle it looks like a scam where you pay instead of getting paid.
Hi Jules,
Thanks for the info!
You need to go down to the sixth bullet point to register for the website testing.
The note at the top of their website is a promo for their sister-site, SideIncomeJobs.com. I’ve never used SideIncomeJobs.com, but it looks like they are competing with FlexJobs which is a paid membership site that hand-screens all telecommuting positions before adding them to their website. These sites are offering a service of screening work-at-home opportunities, so you don’t have to do it yourself — it saves you time and ensures that you’re not dealing with a scam.
Here are some reviews on StartUpLift:

Of course, if you don’t feel comfortable with them — then you shouldn’t pursue it. You should always trust your gut.
Good luck!
Thank you for this list
You’re welcome!
Some require that you allow them to see what you type on your computer. Is this safe?
Yes, some companies want the test video recorded. If that’s something you don’t feel comfortable with, try looking at the ones that only want audio recordings. Good luck!
Holly. You have the patience of a Saint. Thanks for all the great information you provide!
Haha! Sometimes, sometimes not. Glad you enjoyed the list, Sally.
Thanks for all the great info! Just a heads up, your link for uTest actually routs to Dice not uTest. I had to google uTest to get to the right website.
Thanks, Melissa. That’s where I initially found the opportunity and information. But it looks like they removed it, so I’ll have to update it.
Hi
I would like to sign up. How do i go about it? Which link do i use to sign up and the cost involved?
Thank you
Just click on the hyperlinks above to each company.
Great info,Thanks
If I sign up on all 11 web site,How many test can I receive in a week?
Hi Radda,
It will vary significantly based on how many clients they have, and if you meet the criteria for the test. The two tips I can offer you is, the quicker you respond to the email, the better chance you’ll have, and the more tests you complete, the more frequently you will receive future opportunities. Good luck and keep us posted.
Thank you for the post, I’d also like extend your list with Ubertesters – https://ubertesters.com/. Please add it to your review.
Wonderful info. Thank you!
Great info Thanks.
Hi,
How can I confirm whether a particular site is legit or not? Can you share on what basis you have shortlisted the above sites for testing ?

Good luck!
I do agree with the websites that are good, but I recently registered in UserTesting and I still have not got an answer. How much time does it take or in your case, how long after you registered got an approval e-mail?
Just like jobs, these positions ebb and flow with the amount of work they have at any given time. Good luck!

I noticed a lot of these companies go through paypal, is it reliable?
What kind of account do you use, personal or business? I’m new to this but found some nice sites to check out for work at home…
Yes, PayPal is reliable. I have a business account.
hi holly

Hi! I was a grade school teacher who decided to stay home when my children were born. my oldest child is now 21 years old, and I have been substitute teaching for nine years. I would like to continue substituting, but need more income to make ends meet.
My set of skills is varied. Beyond being able to teach and manage behavior positively, I sing, write, craft, a well-versed on the computer and am a people person.
Please find flexible, work from home projects for me. Thank you! Sue
Feedback Army has been decommissioned and the site will be taken down soon according to a posting left on the site on 10/4/2016 by the site’s owner.
Hi Kat, Thanks for letting me know. I’ll have to update the list.
Thanks for the list. My sound card is not working and I have no web cam. So, I am ordering parts. Do I need a fancy system or will just the basics do?
The basics are fine. With Enroll you don’t need a webcam, but their studies don’t pay very much.
which one is the best website?
I haven’t tried all of them out, so I can’t recommend a “best” one. I suggest trying a few out and see which ones you enjoy the most.
I have not yet clicked on the sites recommend yet, so forgive me if this could be answered by going to the site. You mentioned that there are practice tests you can take, is that found on the site or somewhere else? Thanks
They are found on the sites, Chelsea.
Another great paid user test site is at https://usertest.io/Tester/Signup
Unable to register with user testing
Sorry to hear that, Raju. Where are you located?
Hey Holly,
Thank you for this terrific article! Hope it helps someone out there. Might I add that there’s a site called ‘UserTest.io’ that pay people to review websites, just like the ones mentioned above. You could ultimately update the article and be 12 sites that pay you to review websites. Hope this helps with some content creation.
You can check UserTest out at: https://usertest.io
Cheers!

Hey quick question – have you written anything on the best way to manage taxes when doing a bunch of work like this? I just started user testing but I know the IRS is going to want their piece.
Thanks for this article!

What’s the maximum we can earn at day? :-)
It depends on how many tests are available that day and how many companies you’re signed up with.

I would like to know if anyone has any real experience with these sites outside of YouEye and UserTesting, both of which I use. I started by looking at Analysia, and the site looks quite sketchy with its broken English and other grammatical errors. May I ask from where you got these links and how many you have actually done?
Hi Andrea, I’ve tried Enroll and UserTesting. Enroll’s tests are very short (usually one to two questions), and they generally pay 10¢ to 25¢ per test. I found the majority of these testing websites via Google and then searched on the Ripoff Report, Glassdoor, and the Better Business Bureau websites for negative reviews. While I didn’t find any negative reviews on Analysia, you’re correct; there are a lot of typos and grammatical errors, which may be a sign of a potential scam. For this reason, I’ve decided to remove them from the list. Thanks for stopping by TWAHW!
Hello Holly,how did you like Usertesting?I just sign up there.How many tests a week did you get?thanks.R.
Hi holly, tanks alot. I dont have a paypal account, n can i work from nigeria
Hi Lillian, Here is a list of the countries and regions supported by PayPal. Nigeria is on the list, so you can set up an account. Good luck!
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/country_codes/
Does my username (the email I register with) must be the same as my Paypal account?
Usually under account settings there is a place where you can add your PayPal email address.
Hi holly..great info..thank u for sharing
Im from Malaysia..just a question

Hi Azura, It’s sporadic income.
You Eye is now UserZoom.com
Thanks for letting me know, Brenda. I’ll have to update my list.
PayPal is only for the US states?
PayPal is available in most countries.

Hi holly, I’m looking for some work, I travel a lot and am currently in north cyprus, is this open to me?
Most of these are global opportunities — you just need to be able to accept payment via PayPal.
Also I tried Tomas link pasted above from yesterday and it works for me ???? you just have to wait a while, but the you eye site doesn’t seem to exist anymore http://join.youeye.com/participant-101 thanks again ???? Carla
Thanks for the info, sounds great ???? I have tried some user testing sites before and found them way to hard to use ( test birds, userlytics & various others that I can’t remember ) are these ones fairy easy to do, also I am in Australia so can I participate, thanks Carla
Hi, thank you very much for this great post. Unfortunatelly it looks UserTesting (http://usertesting.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=4&aff_id=1044) doesnt work anymore. I got blank page. Or it may be just incident?
Hi Holly. I work for an advertising agency and we have a few clients that are looking to have their pages tested. I was wondering if you would be interested? Let me know by email if you are interested. Great post!
Hi Brad, Please shoot me an email at [email protected] — thanks.
Please send me an email with the info.
Can I do this from South Africa?
Thanks for all the useful info–I will definitely be checking some of these recommendations out!! I signed up with TryMyUI two days ago & was fortunate to have 2 tests available to me. I have completed both and already received $10 payment for one (within 24 hours) and expect the second payment tomorrow–needless to say I am very happy with the results so far!! Thanks again!
That’s awesome, Sarah! I do quick tests with Enroll. They don’t pay much — but they only take a minute or less to complete.
Do you ferform Enroll tests from laptop or mobile Android?
On the laptop.
Hey , I wanna know are this sites paying out in India or not ? Do reply !!
Check out UserTesting – they’re open to international residents.
Now USERTESTING is not taking any application . When will be it open ?
I was able to submit my application. Did you confirm your email address?
Hae anyone used these website for a few months daily and if someone does, would u tell me your experience?
Hi Ed,
I’ve tried a couple out. The test opportunities are sporadic, so you can’t count on this for regular income. It’s a great way to make some side cash. I’ve also found the quicker you can reply “yes” to taking a test — the more offers you’ll receive. Good luck!
I had a quick question. I was looking for Feedback Army on Amazon Turk, but I cannot find it. I signed up, but cannot find where you look for user ability testing tasks. Where can I go to find that? Thank you
Use the search box to find tasks. There may not be any available right now.
Im intersted to join online earning, Can you suggest any alternatives for non US (Bhutan) with no paypal account provided with VISA card only…

Good luck!
Do not recommend TryMyUI to anyone. Is this TryMyUI a valid company? They appear to be a rip-off scam. They do NOT paying their testers, not replying to messages, emails, no one answers the phone. I’m betting everything is fake about this company…sign up suckers (like me) for free tests, not pay them and wait for the next sucker…
Yes…Their logo, “This SUX” is a good moto for TryMyUI given their questionable business practices.
I’m sorry you had a negative experience. This is the first time I’ve heard someone complain about them.
All these sites play ONLY through paypal?
Look on Amazon Mechanical Turk – they deposit money into your Amazon Payments account.
Dear Friend, I’m from India and interested on this product sample testing. I have signed up few months ago, but still I have not get any work. Kindly suggest some other types of online works.

This is a beautiful blog with more information than capable to handle.
I have researched two and a half years for oppurtuinities like this and here you are, handing it to me on a plate and that too for free!
Thank you so much.
I wish you the best
I will do my best to recommend your site to everyone and if I come across any new work at home oppurtunities then I will tell you.
Also if I can help in any other way please dont hesitate to let me know!
Padmanabh Daga :)
You’re welcome! Good luck on your work at home journey =)
Uxline appears to be only in Spanish.
Hmmm … looks like they target a Spanish speaking audience now. Thanks for the update, Dan!
I work for some of these sites already, but really appreciate the list. You’ve given me 5-6 more to sign up for. All the ones I’m familiar with have been good. My only gripe is with whatusersdo. That 25th of the month thing means that if you do something, for example, on January 1, you have to wait until February 25. That’s a bit long. And the payment isn’t 8 Pounds =$8. It’s $8US.
Also, I’d advise people who use several sites to keep a spreadsheet of what jobs they’ve done, which are pending, and which have been paid, with dates. It’s too easy to lose track otherwise.
That’s a great tip, Dan! Unfortunately, a lot of companies have the same payment structure in place, but once you get rolling, it’s a nice way to generate ongoing income.
I go to school have two jobs and I still try to make money these websites are really good:
Luckydayapp.com
Cashcrate.com
Makemoney.tech/app
Loot pays good — I’ll leave you with these for now. I made over $300 in 2 years with the little time I have imagine if I was unemployed or had only 1 job??? GOOD LUCK GUYS! If you guys need help or whatever follow on Twitter or Instagram: rosyberryz
Holly,whats about these websites above?are they ok,I mean not a scams?
To the best of my knowledge, yes. I haven’t tried all of them out, so I don’t know how quick they are to pay. You can expect about 1 – 2 opportunities a month with UserTesting. I’ve found that the more you respond to, the more often they’ll send you work. Good luck and keep us posted.
How do I find my PayPal account number. I have PayPal account but don’t know my PayPal account number
Your PayPal account is linked to your email address.
Hi there, I’m from India and I want to sign up for some of the websites for earnings. Please suggest.
Thanks.
User Testing allows users outside the US, try them.
Thank you for sharing. Appreciate your insight about everything. Kindly keep me updated about the latest websites whereupon I can make a good income.
I’ll try it. Which one can approve me if I’m Indonesian. Thx
Try User Testing.
Can i rely on above websites because there are thousands of website which are scam and frauds. i have wasted lot of time on such websites.Please guide me how to verify that such websites are not just scam.
These are not scams. I’ve used Enroll, you won’t make very much, but super easy. And I’ve done User Testing. Received payments from both.
Some of sites you provided here ask money for registering of for being a feedback provider. For example Paid Surveys or StartUpLift. I have read in the Internet that Paid Survays is a scam, but still you reccomended it in your relative article. Have you ever used any sites where you had to pay beforehand?
Hi Halyna, Yes, StartUpLift asks for money if you want to be one of their customers who uses testers, but not for website testers. Use this link for StartUpLift: http://startuplift.com/get-paid-to-provide-feedback/
Yes, there are legit survey companies. I like to use Swagbucks and CashCrate. I’ve never had a problem receiving payment with them. And I’ve never paid to join a survey site — the legit ones are free.
Thanks a lot for the full and clear answer! Have a nice day!!!
You’re welcome! Have a great weekend!
I jumped into your link, but still they want me to pay monthly membership fee in amount of 4,5$
http://sideincomejobs.com/get-started/?rid=p5KcAb
Hi Halyna, I know, their website is not very user-friendly. Don’t click on that link for side income jobs — that’s a paid job board (which I haven’t researched).
Click here to sign up for their tests: http://startuplift.com/wp-login.php?action=register
About the testing apps, i create one free here: http://equaltozero.ro/demo/plugins/respons/ it is a app that it can test any kind of web site or shop or game, etc. You can take a look and test your web pages/app! ;-)
Thank you so much for sharing!
How to tie up with Try user testing .Kindly guide me
Go to their website and fill out the application.
I want to start testing
which are the best sites to earn for indians
Try User Testing.
hi am also from india, let me know the possible ways to earn money online through testing websites?
is it possible to open a PayPal account in Uganda
From what I’ve read online, the answer is no — Ugandans can only set up account in PayPal for the purposes of sending money, not receiving it.
Hi,
I don’t have a website but wanna get paid pls. Let me know if it’s still possible without a website.
You don’t need a website to do this. Go to each individual site and fill out the application.
Thank you for the info but I have been applying in most of these companies and they say they dont have work for my area which one can I apply to cause Im from South Africa and I am desperate for a home job.
Have you tried User Testing? They’re open to international residents.
Have you tried User Testing? They’re open to International Residents and individuals in South Africa are able to receive payments via PayPal.
Thx Holly useful info. will certainly try it out.
Is this can be real for sudan
Thank you for sharing these links. I’ve been looking for something like this to link to my website. Thanks again.
Which of these are possible in Philippines?
User Testing is open to US and International residents alike who are able to receive payments via PayPal.
Great lots of websites! I’ve been using UserTesting, and over time I have made about $40. It was going great, until about a week ago I stopped receiving tests. Well, I’m looking forward to trying all of these out, thanks!
I’ve found the quicker you respond to test inquiries the more you get. Glad you’re earning some cash with these =)
Hi. Living outside of the USA I can’t create a PayPal account. Any suggestions?
Much appreciated!
I think Amazon mTurk is the only one that doesn’t use PayPal, so I suggest trying them out.
Use vpn
Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed the list, Laurie.
Thank God the world has been globalize
Do we need to have testing experience for this?
No experience needed.
Does one need to be a US resident to register?
Thanks!
I think a few of them are international. Where are you located?

yes tasha?!
Hi! I work part time at my local hospital putting around 20-25 hours in each week. I would like to know if it would work to pursue this way of getting extra money in? Or do I need to be at home all the time so I don’t miss an opportunity for a test?
Tests come in your email so if you don’t check your email then you might miss the opportunity so you don’t need to be home you can even do this during your breaks or lunchtime at work.
How much is it up front to sign up? How much do you get paid per job?
Hope it’s not s scam I’m so fearful of that
Thanks
Carol
It’s free to sign up. Most of these pay $10 per test.
I am a Ghanaian, which site do you recommend for me because some don’t give me tests because of my location

Where do I find info for Feedback army from the MTurk site? And Uxline is in spanish no English!
Sign up on Mturk and then look for Useability Testing tasks.
In my experience, this has been one of the most effective ways of making money online short of having a highly trafficked website. Given the time investment each of these feedback testing opportunities take, they pay very well. Only downside is that they are only occasionally available.
Thank you so much for the information. I have worked with User Testing and have enjoyed it. It’s easy and they pay as they have promised. Only problem I have run into is the tests I qualify for have been few and far between. I will have to check out the other companies you mentioned and see if I can get more opportunities.
From my experience the faster you can reply, the more tests you’ll get. You can’t let the emails sit in your inbox, you have to reply as soon as you get it. Good luck and keep me posted.
Holly, which one is the most reliable and pays the most in your experience?
I’ve personally only tried Enroll. They do pay on time, but you don’t earn very much with them. Sign up for a few, as they don’t always have a steady stream of tests to complete. Good luck and keep me posted on which ones work best for you!
i am working for testIo. i get every month around 200 euro. i have 4months of experience with them
i dont get alot of tests did you?
Hi Ome, No, just a couple a month. That’s why you need to sign up with multiple sites.
Great information! This is a fun and easy way to make some extra money. Good job with the research.
Thanks for the opportunity and I look forward in making money
James, poor guy. You can’t get a job either?
Looks like a new site just popped up called https://usertesting.market – seems like you can actually set your own price and there’s no pre-qualification. On the other hand, you aren’t guaranteed to get paid – it’s like your selling your test video.
Well I finally tried it out, and I did in fact get paid. It looks like they now have ratings for the people requesting the user tests based on how well they pay, so I guess you can use that to decide whether it’s worth doing a test or not.
Thanks for sharing your experience with them, Bryan!
