Link exchange is nothing else but it is just placing the other person’s
website link on your page at appropriate place and other person will
also do same for you.

I have been making side money with UserTesting since Nov 2015 and I LOVE it! I believe that users with higher ratings see more tests, so you’ll need to hang in there and keep trying to qualify for tests, at first. The sooner you click on a test after it appears on your dashboard the more likely it be available. I only average about 2 tests per week, as I am selective about which tests I take so that I can maintain my near 5 point rating. I don’t enjoy taking mobile tests, so I skip them. I’m sure I could earn more if I chose to do the mobile tests. This summer I was able to qualify for an in-depth study with UserTesting and earned over $200 in 1 week by browsing a search engine on a specific topic and answering ~10 questions daily, then participating in a live chat for 30 minutes. I am able to do this side hustle work, even with my young kids (ages 4-9), since the tests are typically only about 20 minutes. I often reserve their screen time to coordinate with my work on these tests. I shut my door, so I have a quiet space where I can concentrate, but if they have an urgent need, I can pause the User Testing screen recorder, handle the issue, and jump right back to my work!

In reply to Celest McGonagill.

Hi Celest,

Thank you for stopping by! Great question. Usability testing jobs are done on a contract basis. This means you’ll be responsible for reporting your earnings and paying taxes on them — i.e., the company will not withhold taxes for you. Most online extra income gigs are like this. Unless, you get a work from home job as an employee, you’ll be in charge of your taxes 🙂

Hope this helps!

Happily,

Ashlee

HI! Thank you so much for all the information! I’ve never heard of making money they way you are describing. My question is in regards to the paying of taxes etc. Do these companies take taxes etc. out of your pay like a “real” job does or is this more like a 1099 position? Thanks again, Celest

In reply to Writer. I really enjoy usability testing. It won't get you rich, but it is a fun and easy way to earn a little extra each month! I consistently make a couple hundred dollars monthly just from testing with User Testing. I hope you sign up and enjoy it as much as I do! Ashlee
