How to succeed? It is crowdsourcing! If not you, someone else will do this job! One customer, a lot of workers!
How to succeed? You should be rapid!
How to succeed? You should understand customer!
How to succeed? Focus on quality of your work!
How to succeed? It’s work, not entertainment!
Pros and cons

Pros and cons Not easy to get good status
Pros and cons Sometimes you didn’t get a job when you need it. For a long time.
Pros and cons You need to hurry because of competitors. Sometimes they complete the job before you even start! Mind time zones.
Pros and cons Sometimes testing take up more time than you thought and become unprofitable, but if you decide not to continue, you may damage your rating.
Pros and cons Strict rules due to different tester’s level of knowledge, experience, quality of results, thoughtfulness etc
Finance
Finance Doesn’t allow to transfer money to Russians.
Finance Payoneer debit card works everywhere: in stores, online-shops, ATMs. And worldwide!
Finance You can take advantage of Rapida Online! This means than you can get money transferred to your WebMoney, Yandex.Money, bank or mobile phone account.
Prospects Not obvious. Some foreign testers claim that they’ve got enough money to live and travel, but for Russian testers it’s rather dream than reality. You can try to get gold status and become a pure freelancer or settle for periodic work along with your main job. But in second case be ready for small income from uTest projects.

  1. *Un-mute Matt* Welcome everyone to our 2 nd Community Council this year – if you joined us last time, about six months ago, you have seen the recent progress we last discussed…such as crash courses, new categories for projects, v3 of the platform, tester rating system, etc. Now, we’re excited to hold today’s meeting with our Gold, Silver, and Bronze testers. The fact that you’ve been invited to this webinar means that you have been successful, regardless of how long you’ve been with us. On the line with us today from uTest include: 1. Matt Johnston, VP of Marketing and Community, who wears just about a million different hats in the company. There’s not much that he doesn’t do here since joining uTest in late 2008. 2. And myself, Peter, Community Manager; most of you I’ve had some dealings with in the past, whether it’s via email, forums, Skype, etc. Anything to add Matt? So with that, let’s get started.
