Why Does Brands Need Consumers to Join their Paid Product Testing Studies?
How Does Product Testing Work? How Can You Become a Product Tester?
When you fill out their questionaire, they'll let you know at the end if you're eligible or not. For example, let say the brand is looking for people to test out their new makeup, if you don't use cosmetic products then you won't qualify. If you do, then you'll be eligible for the product testing job.
Once you get confirmation to test the product, the brand will ask for your address to send you the product to evaluate for a week or two. Then, they'll follow up with you with an email asking you to write about the product you've tested. When you're done, you get paid! WOO HOO! Simple right?

How Much Can You Make Being a Product Tester?
How much you get paid varies. I've been paid anywhere from $3-$500, it depends how in-depth the testing process is. There was a time I tested a website in beta format for HBO (now called HBOMAX), and they paid me $100 for doing it! All I had to do is test out their website for a couple of weeks, watch movies, then give my feedback. Easy money!
So when you register, make sure to fill out your profile, that's a critical step to your success in testing products. You'll get the proper product testing opportunities that fit your demographic.
Honestly, when it comes to product testing jobs, and completing paid online surveys, it's really about how much time you put into it. The more you do, the more money you make. Also, you'll start receiving a lot of paid product testing opportunities in your inbox if the companies sees you're an active member, even giving you a chance to join high paying focus groups, join webcam studies, and video studies.

Steps on Becoming a Successful Product Tester
2. Complete product testing surveys as soon as possible before invite fills up and no longer needs new people for their product testing assignment.
3. Always tell the truth! Brands need truthful people to evaluate their products. If you lie, companies will not know if they need to make any improvements to their products. Also, you can get yourself removed from their program, and not get paid.
4. Do not speed through a survey that the brands send you. Product testing Panels could not use your survey if they noticed that you rushed through it. Your inquiry will look like your answers are untruthful and cannot be used which will lead you to get removed from program and money you earned is forfeited.
5. Sign up for more than one product testing program. The more product testing websites you sign up for, the more chances of being invited to join current product testing campaigns.
6. Always fill out your demographic information with each product testing website you're signed up with. This helps market research firms know which product testing surveys are better suited for you, and more than likely you'll qualify for.
7. Never expose information about new products you've seen on a survey to anyone. That can lead you getting kicked out the program and forfeiting your payment.
