Did you know you can become a product tester and get paid for doing it?  Well many people test products at home and get paid for their time and opinion.

How does paid product testers works?

Advertisers are looking for consumers to try out their new products and are willing to pay you for your time and opinion.  Usually they send you products in the mail and give you some time to use the product and then send you a survey afterwards for you to complete.  Once you complete the survey then they will send you your incentive.  Now incentive varies.  Depending on how long and intensive the survey is, the more money you will be making.  You can make anywhere from $5-$100.  Also do know this, some products you test may not pay you but you do get to keep the product you test.  Some surveys even pay you and you keep the product.

Why does advertisers do product testing and willing to pay for your time?

Advertisers do product testing because they need to know peoples opinion first before they put out a new product.  Just for trying their product and giving your honest opinion will help them determine if they need to make any changes with their product or not put it out on the market because it might not sale.  Advertisers only look for certain people to test their products, for instances, if you use lotion and an advertiser is looking for people to test their lotion then more then likely they will want you to test their lotion because they will know that you will actually use their product.  A lot of companies are doing this like Johnson & Johnson, Quaker Oats, AT&T, etc.

I have been a product tester for awhile now and I think it is a fun way to make extra money on the side.  I think it is better then just regular online surveys because you have a product you can test and keep.  This also helps me save money because usually the products I test is something I already use at home. So far I have tested shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and granola bars. Even though being a product tester can be fun and rewarding, do not expect to make a lot of money doing it.  The money you make is a good way to have extra money on the side for unexpected bills or just money to have for fun.
