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 software 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 about your experience. See a sample summary
4. You'll earn $10 (paid with PayPal). What's the catch?

3. Fill out a one-page form with your demographic information (gender, computer experience, etc.).
4. Download and run our software to record your screen and verbal comments as you browse a sample website.

"It's so easy, anyone can do it."
"There is no shortage of projects to go around — I usually miss out on most of them because other users scoop them up before I get a chance (I do have a job, for crying out loud). But if you're a stay-at-home parent or college student, you could really pick up a decent amount of money on a day-to-day basis.
It's so easy, anyone can do it. All you need to know is how to surf the web and talk your way through every click and scroll that you perform. Easy."

"I’ve made some good money from this!"
"If you’re good at giving feedback about user experience, this is definitely worth checking out. I’ve made some good money from this." Jessica Knows

"UserTesting.com is a really nice little side job"
"UserTesting.com is a really nice little side job. I'm a grad student, and extremely busy, so I like that I can just do a batch of two or three user tests each week. This translates to roughly $50 every other week for sitting with my laptop and telling people why their websites are good, bad, or ugly :-) I suspect you could earn more if you were really on top of claiming jobs, but I'm busy enough that I really only grab them when I have time."

"You earn $10 per site tested"
"I’ve been doing some site reviews through UserTesting.com. It’s like taking paid surveys but it pays a bit more. You use recording technology on your computer to capture your site navigation (they provide it) and review the site while recording comments on your phone. Then you write a summary answering four short questions. You earn $10 per site tested. I think it’s a pretty good rate, since you only need to record 5-10 minutes of comments and then write up answers to the 4 standard questions."
Mrs. Micah
