UserTesting.com Review: We Applied to 46 Tests and Got Approved for None

Vanessa Zeigler — Fri, 05 Apr 2024 15:56:47 +0000

UserTesting is a platform that connects companies with product testers who get paid for providing feedback on software, websites, apps, physical items and more. It’s one of the most well-known companies in the space, and I set out to review the platform with an eye towards discovering how much work is available, how hard it is to get accepted into tests, and how much you can earn. Unfortunately, despite completing 46 “screeners” — short sets of questions that determine your potential eligibility for tests — I was offered zero testing opportunities over a seven-week period. So in this review, I’ll […]

KashKick Review: It’s Legit, But Doesn’t Pay Much

Vanessa Zeigler — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 18:31:00 +0000

If you’re looking for a new side hustle to earn some extra money from home, you may have come across KashKick, a website that pays you to take online surveys and sign up for various offers. In our testing, we earned just $0.90 per hour taking surveys. These results are below average compared to other survey sites we’ve tested. However, KashKick does provide some unique opportunities to earn with offers and games, which may make it worthwhile for certain users. This KashKick review will break down how the platform works and the different kinds of earning opportunities you’ll find, and […]

How I Sell Digital Downloads of My Artwork on Etsy

Vanessa Zeigler — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 20:17:04 +0000

In the early days of COVID, I locked myself in the house and started spending my time creating art. After covering every inch of wall space with moss walls, quilled pictures, air plant frames and paintings of my kids’ favorite characters, I needed to find something else to do with my creations. Enter Etsy. I started my hobby business (which I named The Graphite Pencil) in 2020. After trying a few different mediums, I noticed that shipping costs for my physical creations really ate into my profits. Instead of continuing to increase my prices I decided to shift into digital […]

Testerup Review: The $70 Minimum Makes It Almost Impossible to Get Paid

Vanessa Zeigler — Thu, 28 Sep 2023 18:42:35 +0000

Testerup’s tagline says their 3 million users “earn real money testing online.” But our research and first-hand experience suggests that “testing” is a bit of an overstatement. If participants download mobile games, Testerup offers payments at various milestones. However, the minimum required to cash-out is a whopping $70 and payments often don’t credit to your account as expected (requiring you to reach out to customer service). Plus, if you’re anything like me, you’ll get hooked on games like MonopolyGO that pay very little despite the countless hours you dedicate to mindlessly rolling digital dice and watching a thimble go around […]

Apex Focus Group Review: Legit or Scam? Our Results

Vanessa Zeigler — Fri, 25 Aug 2023 15:31:39 +0000

Apex Focus Group claims to have over 800 active participants from 41 states taking part in their 1,000+ market research opportunities, and the company’s home page indicates that they “help you find paid focus groups near you.” In reality, the company does not offer any of its own research opportunities; it merely directs you to third-party sites that may or may not be worth your time. This is an important distinction, particularly given that Apex’s terms of service indicate that the company “has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third […]

Butcher Box Review 2024: Unboxing, Prices, & Taste Test

Vanessa Zeigler — Wed, 31 May 2023 20:24:14 +0000

ButcherBox is a delivery service that ships quality meat and seafood straight to your door every two, four, six or eight weeks. You can choose from four pre-configured packages, or design your own combination of free-range organic chicken, grass-fed beef, crate-free pork and wild-caught seafood. For this ButcherBox review, I subscribed to test the meat quality and to see whether it’s possible to save money by using the service.

Qmee Review: You Can Earn, But Can You Cash Out?

Vanessa Zeigler — Fri, 03 Mar 2023 16:26:11 +0000

Qmee is a paid online survey app that also offers promo codes and cash-back on purchases with partner companies. I earned a total of $1.69 by taking surveys for 46 minutes, for a per-hour rate of $2.20. However, this rate was skewed significantly by an unadvertised $1 bonus I was offered for completing a secondary survey on a partner site. Without this bonus, my earnings would have been $0.69 in total, or $0.90 per hour. Additionally, I was never able to cash out my earnings due to a “technical error.” In this Qmee review, I’ll walk you through my testing […]

Vanessa Zeigler — Thu, 23 Feb 2023 18:37:30 +0000

Hungryroot is a meal delivery service that ships the main ingredients needed to create two to eight recipes per week to your home. After signing up, you can let the service decide what meals you’ll try each week, or you can take a more hands-on approach and tweak your selections before delivery. Regardless of how involved you choose to be, Hungryroot strives to make it easy for people to manage their health by focusing on natural ingredients. I signed up for the service to test the quality, ease and cost-effectiveness. In this Hungryroot review, I relay my experience and discuss […]

Dabbl App Review: A Low-Paying Rewards App With Limited Earning Opportunities

Vanessa Zeigler — Sat, 07 Jan 2023 22:09:03 +0000

Editor’s note: As of September 15, 2023, Dabbl appears to have ceased operations. Their website no longer opens, and recent app reviews feature many reports of users not being able to cash-out their earnings. We’ll update this review when we have more information. Dabbl is a mobile app that pays you in gift cards for watching advertisements, taking surveys, purchasing discounted products/services, and interacting with brand partners in nontraditional ways. While the app functioned well overall during our testing period, our final earnings came out to just $0.74 per hour — one of the lowest earning rates among the many […]
