UserTesting: The Best Side Hustle for the Verbally Articulate 🗣️💵

UserTesting (and similar platforms) has cemented itself as a highly profitable side hustle for those who can clearly articulate their thoughts while performing tasks on a website or application. The work involves following a script of tasks (e.g., "Find the pricing page," "Attempt to purchase X"), all while recording your screen and voice.

The key to maximizing earnings isn't just speed; it's quality and consistency.

Maximizing Your UserTesting Income: 🔹 The Screening Grind: You will spend more time taking screening questionnaires than actual tests. Treat this as part of the job. Only take tests for which you "genuinely fit the demographic" to avoid low ratings. 🔹 Deliver Professional Feedback: Your value is in why something is confusing. Avoid vague statements. Use clear, constructive language. This ensures you get consistently high ratings, which "prioritizes you for future, better-paying tests". 🔹 Payment Method: UserTesting is reliable and typically pays out via PayPal seven days after the test is completed, offering "excellent financial security" for a side gig.

If you're comfortable speaking your mind into a microphone, this side hustle offers a fantastic rate of return for your time.

Hmm. I don't remember having to submit a video, but I did have to submit a photo of my ID. That's pretty standard for any online job though. Because of payment, they need to verify it's actually you doing the work and not someone else, and to create the tax paperwork for the end of the year. If you're in the USA, you'll need a 1099 from them.

If you're not in the US, I'm not sure what the process is. They have jobs in all different countries and all different languages too, so it's work checking out. If it doesn't work for you, you can always bail.

I always forget when the deadlines are so: for anyone else who's self-employed/an independent contractor*, self-employment taxes for this quarter are due on June 15!
