Get Paid To Test Websites From Home

Website owners are serious about making sure that their websites work properly, are easy to use, and are accessible on various devices.

That’s why companies hire website testers to test websites, also known as usability testing or user testing.

Website testing involves reviewing various sites, and recording your observations about navigation, ease of use, whether links work, and any other useful information.

To get a website tester job, you’ll need a computer (sometimes a smartphone or other mobile device), occasionally a webcam, and access to the internet. The pay varies, but on average you can expect to make about $10 for every site you test.

And the best part?

• Most of these opportunities don’t require previous experience.
• You’ll get paid to give your opinion!
• Many of the listed companies contract with people in multiple countries.
• There’s also the opportunity to test apps and games in some cases.

If you’re concerned that you have no idea how to test a website, don’t worry. A few of the companies give example videos of how it’s done.
