Thank God for the Internet, we now have so many ways we can now get to generate or earn extra incomes to help make ends meet.

Our today’s topic is one of such ways and it’s all about how to get paid for testing Websites. There are many Companies out there who wants to know how efficient, fast, user-friendly, or how the overall appearance of their websites are, as these always have a huge impact on how people relate with their sites.e.g If you want to shop on a website and find it difficult to navigate through the website, you will just look for another one that is more user-friendly and get what you want from there. Now when this happens, the first website has definitely lost not just traffic, but also Revenue.

In order to avoid occasions like that, these Companies hire Companies that can help then find people like you and me to try out their websites and give their honest impression/opinion or review on their use of these websites.

HOW TO GET PAID FOR TESTING WEBSITES

you need to first;

Find participating Websites: There are different websites that will hire you to test out websites for then and each one has their own guidelines and we have listed some below with each description and payment threshold.

Sign up with these Websites: when you check out a website and like what you see, you can then go ahead and sign up with them, it is free to sign up with these websites, so if any asks you to make any payment first, please just ignore such offer and find another, as it’s possibly a scam

Qualification Test: If they access your details and are okay with it, they will give you a brief test, and if you pass, you will then be asked to wait for notification, so that once they have a site for you to test, you get notified

Review: Once you finish, and are required to write about your experience, then you write every detail of what you experienced. Always try to be truthful, never try to say or do anything to please them to your own detriment.
