Clickworker, love it or loathe it?

Posted on by HopSkipJump

Clickworker is a site i’ve been trying out for a couple of weeks now and i still can’t decide if i like it or not!

What is it?

Clickworker is a site that offers a variety of small jobs that need completing on a first come, first served basis. The pay isn’t a huge amount but it can add up if the jobs are there. The main issue is that the good jobs can be sporadic and often when they are there everyone is trying to access them and the website can be buggy and slow. On the plus side there are often some very easy jobs that you can dip in and out of, i recently made about £60 doing simple tasks for a well known, image based company.

How do i sign up?

If you want to give it a try then please sign up with this link, i get a bonus.

When do i get paid?

Clickworker say they pay weekly but i have had issues with this. Firstly, i had to verify my Paypal account which i didn’t realise so i missed the first payment date, doh! Secondly i was due a payment this week but have had an email to say that due to ‘technical difficulties’ they won’t be able to pay us until next week <sigh>. I do know other people that have worked for them a lot longer than me though and apparently they are normally reliable payers. So i shall give them the benefit of the doubt this time and keep waiting.

Available to UK residents as well as US, you will be paid via paypal where you convert to £’s on cashing out.

It sounds a bit too good to be true doesn’t it? That’s what i thought at first!

However, i have been working for a company called UserTesting for more than a year now and it’s one of my favourite ways of making money.

What is it?

The work is testing a website or mobile app to see how user friendly it is. It basically involves following a link to a live website or a prototype. You will then be given tasks to complete on the website. Whilst you are doing them you must ‘think out loud’, giving your opinion of the website and how easy the tasks are to complete. Your screen and voice will be recorded whilst doing this, but no images of you or a webcam is needed.

You will need to install UserTesting software onto your computer to complete the tests. If you want to take part in mobile testing as well then you also need to install their phone app.

You can also take part in live conversations which pay better at $60 but that’s not my thing (social anxiety!) so i have never tried it.

So how do i sign up?

Visit this link https://www.usertesting.com/be-a-user-tester and enter your email address. You will have to complete a test which will be reviewed and then hopefully you’re in. No interviews needed though so it’s pretty easy to get started. Sadly there is no referral program or i would be rich by now telling everyone how awesome it is!

When do i get paid?

UserTesting pay 7 days to the minute after you have completed the test. I have never had a problem with payments, they are excellent and very prompt. Sometimes the companies rate your test too but that is rare at the moment.

I’m back

I’ve been away from this blog for a while now. Mainly because my time has been taken up with new work opportunities. I now have a (very) part time job in a school and another regular job working from home for 1 hour a day.

Weirdly the work at home job pays better! But that is a post for another occasion.

Prolific Academic is one of the sites i have joined most recently and i love it!

It consists of Research Studies carried out by people at Universities around the globe. It is fascinating. Far more interesting than survey sites and better paid too.

I managed to make about £20 fairly easily over the first couple of days after i joined, but it has been fairly quiet since then. Hopefully they will pick up again soon though,

Yesterday someone told me about a share site where if you sign up and deposit £1 you get a free share worth up to £100.

Well, i have to admit, i was sceptical. If it’s too good to be true then it usually is, right?!

Anyway, the reviews looked good so in the interests of this blog i gave it a try.

I signed up, deposited £1, waited less than 24 hours and i now have a share currently worth about £13.50. Yay!

So, if you fancy giving it a go then you need to use my referral link. You don’t get a share without it.

Do you want to get a free stock share worth up to £100?

Create a Trading 212 Invest account using this link www.trading212.com/ref/3iiA5xe and we both get a free share!

Register an account and choose the INVEST ACCOUNT, deposit £1 and you’ll get a free share which you can then sell and withdraw the money.

Please note that you have to keep the share for 3 days befoe you can sell it and withdraw the money.

*UPDATE I have just found out that trading 212 charge an inactivity fee when your account has been inactive for 6 months. So be sure to cancel when you are done. *
