I Got Paid By UserTesting.com!

Oh thanks so it's absolutely free to join? Wow it does look interesting maybe I'll try it out!

Yes, is free to join. I haven't try yet because haven't any jobs to do, but will try when they have ^^

That's cool Janey 1966! $10 for very test you make? Was the tests difficult?

...carpet!"

I'm been pleasantly surprised by how lucky I've been so far on UserTesting as I thought it would be an AGE before I was accepted for a test. I have always been good at speaking my mind so talking whilst looking at a website is an ideal "job" for me, if you can call it that. It would be a full carpet I'm after, not a rug, so it will be BIG lol.

Sorry, I was mistaken.I couldn't tell carpet from rug.The carpet is fitted to the size of a particular room. "It won't take long for you to buy your bright red rug"seems to be a faulty sentence.What I wanted to say is that It won't be long before you buy your bright red...

I use Safari, Firefox and Opera. I can't use IE on my computer because I have an Apple.

Haha! Oh, it's my northern accent they like. Very Coronation Street lol. I did have problems with certain buttons myself on the site. For example, the voice recognition software only works if I'm in internet explorer (I tend to use Firefox mostly) so try a different browser my friend as you may find everything works then.

Well, I do know that tasks come in regularly for Mac users only..so you could be in with a shout there.

Being paid is the best thing!

I have been told that - even if I go away for a few days it doesn't matter as it's a first come, first served process, as you know. Today loads of tests came into my inbox but I've only managed to try out one of them. Some I wasn't qualified to do and others I wasn't quick enough as I'd been watching the tennis when they came in, so I was too late for those. The best thing is that I've been paid by them and I know I get more tests coming through because of this, I'm sure.

From what I can gather it's mainly for English-speaking countries but I suggest you check the site out for yourself in order to be sure.

Thank you. I missed out on a couple more tests today but there again they DID come it at 6am UK time. I know I've got up earlier to try to catch some in my inbox but 6am is a bit much lol.

Thanks! I managed to do another test earlier so (once it gets accepted) that's another $10 coming my way. I'm chuffed to meatballs lol.

People who want their new websites tested pay UserTesting $39. People who TEST those websites (i.e. people like me) pay nothing. I then get paid $10 by the people who have submitted their sites because I am doing them a favour testing them in the first place.

Thanks very much! To be honest, I was a bit skeptical at first so to say I was surprised at actually being paid is an understatement. With a name like Lucky12 I'm sure that in itself will being you luck in the future my friend.

Hello! What happens is this; all tasks come through via email and onto the site itself if you check that regularly. Before accepting the task you are asked for a microphone check to see if your voice is recognised. It is just your VOICE that is recorded over the website you are watching, there is no need for the use of a webcam as some sites require. So long as you describe what you are seeing based on the questions shown you can't go wrong really, then there are at least 3 questions you need to answer right at the end. UserTesting has the voice recognition software on it so without that the test could not happen. The only people who have to pay them any money are the ones that want their websites tested and, as far as I know, it's they who pay me the $10, not UserTesting itself.

Well, the jobs I've had up to now, I've been doing all the talking but, if in future I have to talk to website owners I'll be able to do that too, no problem.

Good for you and I wish you success in all your endeavours my friend.

I have no idea; I would think it helps if you are from the US or UK to be honest but try the site and find out for yourself, if you so wish.

You're welcome!

For each website tested I get $10 but I do not qualify for all the tests. I have to meet certain requirements. For example, on some tests you need a Facebook account; I do not have one. On others I would need to be thinking about setting up my own website; I do not wish to do so. However, pretending I'm booking a holiday somewhere is an ideal one for me..and I've done two of those so far.
