How it works
You complete an unpaid practice test, then receive screeners for paid tests. You speak your thoughts aloud as you work through the tasks.
The catch
Pay varies by test type and length, PayPal is the only payout, and customers can cancel payment for skipped tasks or superficial recordings. No tax is withheld.
Who it suits
People comfortable talking through what they think on camera or mic.
