How To Save Money At Whole Foods: 11 Easy Tips & TricksHow To Save Money At Whole Foods: 11 Easy Tips & Tricks

There’s nothing quite like walking into the produce section at Whole Foods. The riot of bright, blotch-less colors, the crisp smell of fresh herbs, and the knowledge that everything in this store is just so good for you.

But is it good for your frugal budget? Whole Foods didn’t come by its nickname “Whole Paycheck” for no reason – their level of quality comes at a cost that can scare away the more frugal among us.

But with a few apps, tips, and tricks, Whole Foods can be affordable for any savvy shopper – no hours of clipping and organizing coupons required.

Mobile Apps

1. Ibotta

Like most of the apps listed here, Ibotta uses the receipts you upload for market research. While there are a number of apps that have entered this marketplace, we’re listing only the most reputable. These apps aren’t going to result in waves of spam or put your personal info in danger.

Ibotta is ideal for the Whole Foods shopper if you’re shopping in the middle aisles (less so for the periphery). Each week Ibotta lists items you can buy and earn cash back on. Unlike other, more specialized apps, it isn’t a small number – usually there are upwards of 2000 deals to choose from.

Ibotta offers specific offers at specific stores – and Whole Foods is one of their favorites. You’ll often find up to 100 items you can purchase at Whole Foods that will get you cash back from Ibotta.

Some brands you’ll find great offers from include Whole Foods favorites like KeVita Kombucha, Dave’s Killer Breads, and Amazing Grass.

Ibotta offers anywhere between 25 cents and $5 cash back for their weekly items. A plus for the frugal shopper – you won’t just use Ibotta at Whole Foods – you can use it at almost 300 stores to build up cash back fast. Once you reach $20, you can start cashing out.

The app is available for both Android and iPhone.

2. Checkout 51

Checkout 51 is very similar to Ibotta. They use your info for market research, and in return offer money back on select items each week. Unlike Ibotta, they don’t have any restrictions on where you buy their weekly items of interest – which means you’ve got a good shot each week of getting a cash back offer you can use at Whole Foods.

Checkout 51 offers cash back deals that range from 25 cents to $4. If you upload a receipt for more than $60, you’re also entered to win up to $500 in their monthly sweepstakes. They have fewer offers each week than Ibotta – usually just 40-50 items.

However, there are often a few high-quality organic items included, from brands like Justin’s Peanut Butter and Terra Chips, which you’ll be able to find at Whole Foods.

Be aware that Checkout 51’s deals change every Wednesday at midnight, and their deals are first come, first serve – you’re going to want to check this app each Thursday morning to get the best offers available. You don’t need to shop that morning – just check off the offers you intend to use later in the week before they disappear.

The app is available for both Android and iPhone.

3. BerryCart

BerryCart is a different creature entirely, in that their goal is to provide you with discounts on organic and eco-friendly foods only. Let’s be honest – if you’re shopping at Whole Foods, you’re part of the shopping population they want to know more about.

If you plan on purchasing anything from the middle aisles of Whole Foods, there’s a good chance BerryCart has a deal for you. Now, BerryCart’s cash back amounts are lower – between 25 cents and one dollar. Their cash out amount is lower too – just five bucks – so you can start spending what you’ve earned much faster. If you shop at Whole Foods regularly, this is an app that will add up quickly for cash back – particularly for specialty diet food like gluten free, Whole 30, or Paleo.

Part of the fun of using BerryCart is that you likely won’t recognize all the brands they offer – they specialized in introducing you to newcomers to the Whole Foods aisles, helping you find your new favorites.

The app is available for both Android and iPhone.

4. Makeena

Last, but not least, Makeena is the app for the frugal shopper obsessed with organic, exceptionally healthy foods.

Like BerryCart, Makeena is a little different in that you’ll rarely find deals on your favorite Whole Foods items. Makeena is focused on everything new in the healthy and environmentally ethical shopping sphere.

This is the app for Whole Foods shoppers who want to try the newest items at a deep discount.

This is also where you can get rebates on your Whole Foods produce. Makeena offers rebates on organic beets, black eyed peas, and brand name kombucha.

Makeena will invite you to purchase the newest products Whole Foods carries – for a fraction of their usual price. And if you love the product and want to be one of their brand ambassadors, they’ll give you additional cash back points for sharing info on new products on your social media. You can also earn bonus points by liking your newly discovered favorite vegan snacks on social media via the app.

The app is available for both Android and iPhone.

5. Amazon Prime

If you aren’t interested in joining Amazon’s big push to get everyone in the country hooked on their membership program, Amazon Prime, go ahead and skip to the next section – the frugal shopper can still save big at Whole Foods without a membership.

With Prime? You have access to even bigger savings, sometimes bringing Whole Foods prices down to below the ones you find at your local grocery stores.

The frugal shopping blogosphere was in a tizzy over Amazon purchasing Whole Foods back in 2017. What would it mean for the quality? The environmentally ethical sourcing? The customer?

So far, the customer is coming out the big winner, while Amazon has kept their promise to keep quality and earth-friendly policies in place, even if there were a few hiccups in the supply chain early in their relationship.

If you’re already a Prime Member, all you need to do is download the Whole Foods app to your phone and log in with the same credentials you use on Amazon. The app produces an individualized QR code that gets scanned at checkout for instant savings.

Every week there are special sales just for Prime members. And, Prime members get an additional 10% off every general sale item. On top of that, there are unadvertised just-for-Prime 10% off sales scattered throughout the store – just look for the little yellow tags.

Last time I wandered the aisles doing my frugal food shopping, there were at least 100 yellow tags to take advantage of, on everything from produce to brain-healthy cashew milk to keto and Whole 30-friendly salad dressing to a truly gorgeous organic pumpkin pie.

6. Whole Foods

Even if you don’t use Amazon Prime, I highly recommend downloading and using the Whole Foods app, since it allows you to quickly scroll through the sales available to the general public. More often than not, at least one coveted item is also listed on one of our favorite cash back apps, offering you a quick way to stack up big savings that will make your frugal friends proud.

Don’t already have a cash back app you use for your grocery shopping? Want to add another one or two to your repertoire? You’re in for a money-saving treat.

While there are plenty to choose from, the four money saving apps listed below are the best for finding savings at Whole Foods. Keep in mind that there are other cash back shopping apps that may have more deals, but Whole Foods doesn’t sell a lot of the items offered in those other coupon apps. Whole Foods is picky about what they will stock in their stores – so you need to be picky about what apps you use to maximize your savings.

The apps below are listed from most general (you’ll use them everywhere you shop for groceries) to specialized (big buck savings specific to Whole Foods frugality).

The Whole Foods app is available for both Android and iPhone.

Share Your Shopping Style – And Get Paid

You’ve completed your fabulous frugal Whole Foods shopping. You uploaded your receipt to your favorite cashback coupon app, and you have money for your next shop coming your way.

Perhaps you’ve even enjoyed Whole Foods signature pumpkin ravioli with a little browned organic butter and sage sauce, topped with perfectly aged Parmesan.

Ready for more money coming your way?

It used to be that lots of folks believed in storing away all their receipts in a shoebox in the closet, just in case you needed to return something or the IRS had questions about your habit of buying what some might see as an excessive supply of apple cider vinegar (with the mother, of course). It’s a habit that’s fallen out of fashion, but there’s a good reason to bring it back.

You don’t need to save those receipts for a full year, you just want to hold onto them for a week or so.

Companies who study shopping habits will pay you good money to share those receipts. Including one I can guarantee you’ve heard of.

7. Nielsen National Consumer Panel (NCP)

Nielsen is well known for being the company that sponsors Nielsen families – folks who are paid to have boxes hooked up to their TVs to provide data on what a cross section of viewers are and aren’t watching. Nielsen numbers have been used since the dawn of TV advertising to determine which of your favorite shows get picked up for more seasons – and which ones get cancelled.

Now, Nielsen does more than TV – they aggregate data on shopping patterns too. And you don’t have to be chosen – you can just sign up and start receiving rewards (including cash) right now.

Nielsen prefers that all items be scanned in by Friday, which I why I suggest bringing back the shoebox method. Save up your receipts and then take 10 minutes each week to take all the photos at once. Quick, easy, and well worth your time.

Keep in mind that Nielsen wants scans of the bar codes on the individual items you’ve purchased as well – if you’re going to use them before you scan-in day, make sure you take those photos before recycling the cans and bottles.

The app is available for both Android and iPhone.

8. Receipt Hog

Receipt Hog is Nielsen’s major competitor in this arena. Instead of focusing on individual items, they are true to their name – they just want those receipts – the more the better. Once you’ve downloaded the free app and signed up for an account, you can start scanning in receipts by taking pictures in the app.

The more receipts you upload, the more you earn. Hit their weekly bonus count (usually four receipts) and you earn multipliers.

The app is available for both Android and iPhone.

Insider Tips and Tricks

So far we’ve focused on the amazing tech that allows you to easily fit Whole Foods into your frugal food budget. If you’re ready to go the extra mile, you can save even more.

9. Bring Your Own Bags

This isn’t so much going the extra mile as it is going the extra few feet to the trunk of your car to grab your reusable grocery bags. We’ve all been told we should be using these every time we shop, but we all forget now and then.

Whole Foods gives the frugal shopper a good reason to remember. Hand the person at the checkout counter your reusable bags, and for each one they use to pack up your groceries, they’ll take ten cents off your total order.

You don’t want to be greedy, but Whole Foods is a great place to use those cute, and reasonably sized, Baggu bags, or something similar. They hold just the right amount of groceries so the bags don’t get excessively heavy, unlike the enormous bags placed conveniently at the checkout end cap. Ten cents adds up!

10. The Golden (Half) Hour at Whole Foods

Not everyone has the freedom to go grocery shopping at specific times – you have responsibilities – family, activities, work. But if you’re one of the lucky few who can shop during the golden half hour at Whole Foods, the frugal shopper can save a bundle.

The golden half hour varies by location, but it’s always the half hour before your Whole Foods store closes for the night.

Because Whole Foods is so committed to selling only the freshest foods, most locations will mark down their remaining bread, meat, fish, and even cheeses shortly before the store closes, and those discounts can be significant. If you can be there at the right time, you can get fresh, organic, grass-fed, pasture-raised, wild caught, and sustainably farmed for up to half off what you pay the rest of the day.

Do keep in mind that shopping in that half hour is going to be hit-or-miss. Generally, Whole Foods has stopped putting out fresh items well before the golden half hour – what’s going on sale is what’s left. So if you’re looking for a specific cut of meat or freshly baked gluten free bread, you may be out of luck. If you’re more flexible about what you’re looking for and you have the time to spare – it’s worth the trip.

11. Coupons

Yes, it’s time to break out your coupon scissors and felted file envelope. It’s time for some good old-fashioned couponing.

That sad wail you heard from your couponing friends in the spring of 2018 was Whole Foods discontinuing their much-beloved in-store coupon book, The Whole Deal, and ending online, print-at-home coupons on their website. Whole Foods has made up for the lost coupon savings with their Prime membership offerings – but if you aren’t a Prime member, it was a real loss.

And it was a loss that fed a rumor that Whole Foods didn’t take any coupons anymore. But they do!

Whole Foods still accepts all manufacturers’ coupons that you find in your local paper or receive direct from the manufacturer. And while most of the coupons you pull out of your Sunday paper are from brands Whole Foods doesn’t carry, as organic goes more mainstream, you’ll usually find a few for brands like Kashi, Silk, and Late July – and Whole Foods is happy to honor those coupons (and stack them on top of other deals!).

Dirty Dozen

Every year, the Environmental Working Group releases two lists: The Dirty Dozen and The Clean Fifteen. The Dirty Dozen is a list of foods with the highest concentration of pesticides when grown with standard growing practices.

If removing pesticides and foods that are farmed in ways that may harm the environment from your diet is important to you, the Dirty Dozen are the foods you want to stock up on at Whole Foods, where you know the produce is farmed organically.

This year, the Dirty Dozen are as follows:

1. Strawberries
2. Spinach
3. Nectarines
4. Apples
5. Grapes
6. Peaches
7. Cherries
8. Pears
9. Tomatoes
10. Celery
11. Potatoes
12. Sweet Bell Peppers

Focus on these fruits and veggies when you’re shopping Whole Foods – this is where you want to focus your organic buying power.

Clean Fifteen

The Clean Fifteen on the other hand? These are foods that you can feel safe and confident buying at any discount grocery store – they are farmed with minimal pesticides, and by the time they reach your table, the cheaper, non-organic brands are just as healthy as the organics.

Sure, Whole Foods has them, but you can save money by buying these veggies at other stores – organic has little to no benefit over the other options for these items.

If the following produce items are on sale at Whole Foods, and you also have a cash back deal or two, go for it. But if you’re making choices to stay within your frugal grocery budget, you can feel perfectly content and healthy buying these particular items elsewhere and saving your Whole Foods money for other things.

This year, the Clean 15 are as follows (it’s worth rechecking the list each year as farming practices change):

1. Avocados
2. Sweet Corn
3. Pineapples
4. Cabbages
5. Onions
6. Sweet Peas
7. Papayas
8. Asparagus
9. Mangoes
10. Eggplants
11. Honeydews
12. Kiwis
13. Cantaloupes
14. Cauliflower
15. Broccoli

Whole foods may not be the cheapest place you could buy food for you and your family. But it is a store that banks on quality – you know whatever you buy in the store isn’t just colorful and pretty – it’s good for you, it’s good for your family, and it’s good for the environment.

Make sure to stack your savings tactics – try purchasing a sale item with your Prime Discount, getting cash back on the item with Ibotta and/or Makeena, then upload your receipt to NCP and Receipt Hog.

You really can bring the price of expensive Whole Foods products down to mere pennies – and sometimes, even make money on the purchase.

Here’s to eating healthy and frugal!

18 Ways To Make Money Reviewing Websites

If there’s two things we have plenty of in 2018, it’s websites and opinions. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to make money using your opinions to make these websites better?

Luckily, if you’re looking to make some extra cash and don’t mind surfing the internet, there’s plenty of opportunities to get paid doing website review and testing.

For most companies, the internet provides the best opportunity for them to reach customers all over the globe. Because of this, it’s important that they have a site that engages their users. User testing is a cheap way for companies to get valuable feedback on their websites.

Website testers review sites and offer opinions on the functionality, usability, and design of websites and other applications and products.

The great thing about this job is that almost all of these review and test platforms are completely remote and the work can be done online with usually just a microphone, downloadable software, and sometimes a webcam.

Website testers handle a variety of jobs to make the internet a better place. They are often given a specific set of tasks that require them to try different aspects of a website, while speaking out loud about their experience, and having the software record their interactions.

Other types of testing assignments might require testers to freely navigate through the site or application in order to try and find bugs or other issues. It’s the responsibility of a good web tester to vocalize their thoughts and feedback while interacting with the site or application.

As you’ll see in this article, there are many website review and testing platforms where you can make some extra side cash while simply interacting with websites.

Most of these platforms will require some sort of practice test or short training video to make sure that you are capable of providing quality feedback for clients.

If this sounds like something that you might be interested in, please continue reading below to see numerous ways that you can make some money reviewing websites.

1. UserTesting

UserTesting is one of the most popular names in the website review industry.

To begin testing sites you need to sign up with an email and download their screen recording software.  After the download, you’ll take a short practice test (get ready to hear that a lot in this article) where you navigate a sample website as the software records your voice and screen. After your practice test is approved you can start doing actual paid tests.

Tests on the website go to whoever is online first, so make sure to keep the dashboard open when you’re near your computer for the best chance at getting an assignment.

You’ll have to participate in a short questionnaire before your first paid test which gives a little bit of information about your personality and demographics, so you probably won’t qualify for every testing assignment.

UserTesting pays out $10 for each test you complete, and the tests typically take between 10-20 minutes. Payments are made via PayPal seven days after you complete the test.

As with many of the sites listed here, your testing will be reviewed, so make sure that you are doing your best to offer helpful critiques and commentary. 

2. uTest

uTest claims to be the top website for freelance software testing and feedback, and if you’re getting into the website review arena you’ll definitely come across their name. The sign up process requires some basic information, including email, age, gender, and geographic location, and what devices you can test on.

After sign up there’s an extensive handbook and testing academy that is required before you can start getting paid testing work.

Like many other sites, there is an audition test, and after passing you’ll have to wait for a testing opportunity that will match your specific qualifications. According to their site, they have a prestigious list of customers, including Google, Amazon, and Netflix, just to name a few.

uTest has some key differences from the other sites listed here. As a quality assurance tester on the site you’ll be looking for bugs in software, and will be paid by the bugs that you find.

Because of their privacy policy it’s difficult to determine how much you can and will be paid for finding bugs, although most of the reviews we could find pointed to somewhere in the neighborhood of $5 per bug.

The largest benefit of uTest is that the earning potential for experienced and talented quality assurance testers can be over $100,000 per year!

While you definitely won’t be making anything near that to start off, there is the potential to earn a few hundred per month if you’re willing to put in the time and effort to get good at finding software bugs.

Like most of the other sites, you’re ability to make money and get testing gigs will be determined by how thorough and helpful your critiques are, so be sure to turn in your best quality work.

3. Testbirds

Testbirds is another software testing site similar to uTest. Again, you’ll have a short sign up process followed by a practice assessment to make sure you’re adequately prepared to provide useful feedback.

Testbirds pays 20 Euros per test, which makes it one of the better paying sites on the list. You can also get additional money for each bug you might find while conducting your tests.

As with many of the other sites listed here there is a ton of free training and resource materials to make you an even better tester and hopefully make you some more money.

4. TestingTime

This site does its testing over Skype, and you’ll have your face and voice recorded, which might make some people uncomfortable, so be prepared for that if you are going to use TestingTime.

The tests on TestingTime typically last a little longer than many of the other sites, usually lasting between 30-90 minutes, but the benefit is that the pay can be up to 50 Euros per hour, which is paid out via PayPal within 5 – 10 days.

The sign up process is relatively simple, just requiring some basic information and your Skype address so that you can participate in the surveys. This is one of the few sites that doesn’t require any sort of practice test before you are given an assignment.

5. Userfeel

Userfeel has a short sign up process and requires a software download in order to become a tester for their site. Again, you’ll need to complete a practice test before you can become eligible for paying assignments.

Once your practice test has been approved you can expect to make $10 for providing your thoughts on various websites, with tests lasting around 10-20 minutes each.

Userfeel will send you assignments via email, and payments are made via PayPal on a weekly basis. Test can be done either on you computer or a smartphone.

This is another site that offers a ton of information on their FAQ page in order to make you a better tester and earn more money, so be sure to check it out.

6. Userbrain

Another web testing site, Userbrain requires a software download, microphone, and short signup process. You’ll have to take a practice test (I told you you’d be seeing that a lot in this article) before taking any paying client assignments.

The tests are usually shorter with Userbrain, taking between 5-15 minutes, and paying out $3 each via weekly PayPal.

7. UserZoom

One of the greatest benefits of UserZoom is that along with the common screen recorded microphone tests, they also offer standard survey style tests, meaning if you don’t have a microphone this site is an option (we’ve also included a number of other sites that don’t require a microphone further down in our list).

Test take between 10 and 20 minutes to complete, and payments are made via PayPal within 21 business days. UserZoom pays between $5 and $10 per test depending on the complexity of the study. In case you didn’t suspect it already, UserZoom requires a sample test before you can start getting paid. 

8. Userlytics

Userlytics offers the typical website reviews, but also occasionally has tests on application, prototypes, concepts, and more. Payment for testing is made via PayPal and is determined by the time and difficulty of the various tests.

This is one of the few sites that doesn’t require you to complete a sample test before you can start accepting work. Simply sign up with some basic information and you’re ready to go.

9. WhatUsersDo

This site has now been bought by UserZoom, but according to their website they still have different clients, so I would recommend signing up for both. It’s the same drill as many of the other sites, small application process culminating with a sample test before you can take paying assignments.

You’ll also need to download their screen recorder. The practice test for WhatUsersDo has both a recorded video section and a survey section. Tests take approximately 20 minutes and the payout is usually around $12.50. Assignments are sent via email after you are approved.

WhatUsersDo also has quarterly competitions and special offers for testers which offers some extra earning potential.

10. Validately

There are a few review sites that require a webcam for the testing process, one of these is Validity. Validately has relatively high compensation compared to many of the other platforms.

A 5 minute test can pay $5, and live tests with a moderator and shared screen pay at least $25 for 30 minutes. Like most of the other sites, you have to complete a sample test before you can get paid assignments, and you can receive your payments via PayPal.

One note about Validately, the sign up for testers is hidden at the bottom of the page. Be sure to scroll down and the the “Sign Up” link under “Panel” to get to the tester form and get started.

11. Loop11

Loop11 takes applications for individuals that want to work as paid website testers. To apply for a position you must complete a 5 minute qualification test to prove your suitability.

Their website states that they pay above average rates for testers, offer performance bonuses for high-quality workers, and provide more frequent testing opportunities, but there was not much public information on what those numbers actually are. Loop11 also requires testers to have a webcam.

Loop11 seems like a more exclusive site, but details were hard to come by. If anyone has heard anything more about this site we’d love to hear about them in comments below!

12. UserTest

UserTest is apparently so popular that they have currently suspended taking new applications for testers until December. From what I could find out about their platform, each test pays $10.25 and payments are sent within 2 days via PayPal.

I did want to include the site in this article however as they are reported to be a great platform that has some top notch opportunities. If you can get accepted.

NO MICROPHONE OR CAMERA NEEDED

13. Enroll

Not everyone has a microphone or built in camera, but thankfully there are a handful of sites that require neither.

Enroll has an easy sign up process, and shockingly, doesn’t even require a sample test. There is a series of poll questions that you need to answer when first signing on to the site to try and gauge what your areas of expertise and interest are.

The testing assignments for Enroll are quite easy compared to the other testing sites, but the pay is also much lower. Testers may be asked to compare different web pages or click specific areas of a page.

Many tests on enroll take just a few minutes, but they also can pay as little as .10 per test. Payments are made via PayPal, and assignments will be sent to your email. Because the tests are much simpler they are also easy to do on tablets or other mobile devices.

14. UserCrowd (Formerly UsabilityHub)

UserCrowd is very similar to Enroll. Neither site requires a microphone, the sign up is incredibly simple, the tests are easy, and there’s no sample test that you need to pass.

Unfortunately, UserCrowd is also similar in that the payout for a test is very small. Each test is less than a minute long, and the pay is $.10 per test.

While some people might not find these types of testing services worth it, remember, the tests are so quick and easy they can be done at almost any time during the day, and you can simply check your email and complete the test on your mobile device to make a few extra bucks a month. Once again cash out is via PayPal.

MORE THAN WEBSITE TESTING…

15. Respondent

If website testing isn’t your thing, you might want to try Respondent. Respondent does website testing much like the other sites listed in this article, as well as conducting surveys and focus group studies.

Respondent requires a sign in with either a LinkedIn or Facebook profile, which they use to verify employment, demographic, and contact information.

After your account has been verified you’ll get a chance to pick and choose areas of interest and begin looking for projects that appeal to you. Pay and time requirements will differ depending on individual projects.

At the time of writing this there were projects ranging from $10 for a 10 minute survey, to one project paying $300 for 90 minutes for experienced web developers.

16. test IO

test Io allows you to test and rate more than just websites, you also get to work with apps and games, and earn up to $50 for every issue or bug that you find. If it’s a critical issue, you can earn even more.

Even if you find that you can’t find those pesky bugs when testing sites on the platform you can still get paid for rating apps.

Like so many sites, you’ll have to first complete a practice test to prove that you know what you’re doing before they actually allow you to work on client projects. test IO pays out monthly using PayPal, Payoneer, Skrill, or bank transfer.

17. Ubertesters

If the thought of working on a laptop or desktop makes you cringe, then UberTesters is the site for you. Ubertesters deals specifically with mobile apps, so all of the testing is done on your phone or table, no website testing!

Unlike many of these other sites, Ubertesters makes it clear right up front that some experience may be required to participate on their platform.

There was not a lot of pay information available, but if you have some quality assurance or technical experience, and want to be able to test some cool new mobile apps, Ubertesters is worth a look.

18. Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk)

Finally, for those that want something a little bit different, we have MTurk.

This is part of the Amazon platform, and it specializes in providing remote work for human intelligent tasks (“HITs”). As Amazon puts it, there are still many tasks that can’t yet be done by a computer, so they provide a platform for various tasks that have to be done by a human, such as identifying objects in photographs or video.

One thing to note is that pay on MTurk seems to be very low compared to the other sites, and the types of jobs that are currently posted is quite broad. Amazon does it’s payouts via transfer to your bank account.

If you’re looking to make some money doing remote work, but want to do something a little different than web review, it may be worth it to check this site out.

As you can see, there’s no shortage of ways to make money reviewing websites (in fact, we’ve got even more of them). However, you’re probably not going to become a millionaire by making $10 dollars for participating in one test a week.

The problem with website reviews and testing is that there are far more testers than there are clients and websites, so in most cases you’re not going to be getting 3 or 4 tests every hour throughout the day.

If you want to try and make steady and consistent money as a website reviewer and tester, there are a few steps you can take. First, sign up for as many sites as you can. The more sites you’re on, the more opportunities you’ll have to get jobs.

Make sure you are either logged in to the various platforms when you’re available, or be sure to check you email regularly, as most of the time the testing is first come, first served.

Second, make sure you to read any resource materials on the various platforms for any helpful tips on how to provide more relevant responses. Take advantage of any free training that is provided on the website and the FAQ sections or help desks.

Finally, always make sure you’re turning in your best work. Remember, you’re not the only one doing the reviewing. Companies are also reviewing your work, so be sure to provide useful reviews and follow the instructions of the tasks you are given.

Higher tester ratings increases your likelihood of getting more work, and better assignments with higher pay.

Good luck, and happy surfing!
