If you’ve got some knowledge in coding, programming or software construction, then you could earn a bit of extra cash from offering your feedback on different types of software. It works on the same principle as testing and reviewing apps but requires slightly more background knowledge. Often, the software you’ll review is made for the finance and IT industries.
As a software reviewer, you’ll need to download and install a program or piece of software listed on a reviewing site onto your PC or laptop. You’ll then evaluate the app based on the functionality and usability of the features, as well as providing feedback on the overall performance. Sign up to websites like Capterra, Gartner, ApperWall and G2Crowd which pay for your software reviews.
Some sites offer payment in the form of vouchers, rewards or gift cards. Otherwise, you’ll tend to earn between £0.30 and £0.50 per review – as the remuneration is minimal, we recommend signing up to as many software reviewing websites as you can.
