Make money Testing the Web

Website and Apps owners are prepared to pay to watch real people use and test their site's performance for usability and bugs; by doing this, they are able to gain valuable information that will allow them to better meet their customers need.

Site owners need more insight into what their customers are looking for, how they do their research, why they choose one product over another and what confuses them, in short; how well their sites are performing.

Website owners are trying to take the guess work out of the equation by using personal experience, paying users to perform usability testing is said to be the secret weapon.

Some websites are notoriously difficult for users to navigate their way around, if like me, you are not prepared to waste precious time, or simply lack the inclination and patience to try figuring it all out, it's far simpler to hit the back button and bounce straight into the competitor's site.

By paying real people to test for usability and clarity and to evaluate their sites, the owners are able to identify problem areas which may benefit from intervention.

If you are the type of person who are reasonable articulate, observant and can think aloud, this may very well be just up your street.
