Make Money Online as a User Tester

Website owners and webmasters are constantly pushing to improve how their visitors interact with their website. As I stated in the short brief, it is common practice for usability experts to employ volunteers, invite them to an office space with a computer and have them go through a series of tasks. The user is monitored and then evaluated.

The data gained is valuable insight for the website owner, giving them indication where they can improve their visitors experience.

Okay! Okay! Here ya' go Dollar Tycoons!

UserTesting.com is the site you want to apply for as a User Tester. It's free to join and they often look for fresh testers. UserTesting.com has and is being used by Google, HP, Yahoo!, Nestle, and countless other big names.

Below is the run down directly from UserTesting.com:

How it works

1. Website owners will pay to watch a real person use their site so they can discover where their site is confusing. UserTesting.com has a panel of "user testers" to do this. If you become one of our user testers, then whenever your demographic profile is requested, you'll have an opportunity to earn money using a website.


2. You use our online screen recorder to record a video of what's happening on your screen - mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes - and your spoken comments while you use the website you're testing. (Videos are typically 15 minutes long.)


3. You answer four questions in writing about your experience.


4. You'll earn $10 (paid with PayPal).
   
   Note: No webcam or software required. Your face is never recorded.

How to become a user tester

1. Be at least 18 years old


2. Have your own PC or Mac (Mac OS X 10.5 or higher) and a broadband Internet connection. You can record your voice with a microphone or by telephone.


3. Fill out a one-page form with your demographic information (gender, computer experience, etc.).


4. Use our browser-based screen recorder to record your screen and verbal comments as you browse a sample website.

That's it! Pretty Siimple. I know a people who have made money taking these tests. And so far, it's smooth sailing. Just to add, don't count becoming the next Big Dollar Tycoon doing this, but a few tests taken per week can possibly put a good chunk of change in your pocket per month.
