Usability testing (website testing) is another way to earn some extra $$$ in your spare time. However, let me quickly let you know that site testing job is a form of micro jobs i.e, it pays little in exchange for your online assignments.
What exactly does a Website Tester do?
A Website Tester is someone who gives their opinion about a random website. Some companies may require you to install software, which will enable your activity to be recorded. You may be informed to speak about the design of the site, quality, and ease-of-use.
What are the requirements for this job?
You will need to have a fast PC with high speed internet. Laptops can be used as well. Your computer needs to be equipped with a microphone and a screen capture software.
That said, each site operates differently, so there may be other small requirements as well, but a computer equipped with a microphone and a screen capture program, and of course fast internet connection should be sufficient enough for most projects.
You should also able to speak basic English and have good writing skills because some companies may ask you to write a small report after each completed test.

How much can you make?
Compensation wise, each test will pay you about $5- $10 on average, and it should not take you more than 30 minutes to complete your task. You can make more than $100 per month.
