MyTesterJobs: just don't bother with it

I've been looking through my traffic stats and I noticed that a significant amount of people end up on this page because they are looking for MyTesterJobs-related information. Well, this entry is targeted mostly at those of you who are here to see if MyTesterJobs pays people or not.

Is MyTesterJobs a scam? It's hard to tell. I did a Google search for 'mytesterjobs payment proof' and I did not find a single site, blog, or forum that claimed to have received any sort of payment from MyTesterJobs. In fact, the majority of the pages I visited say the same thing I just told you - nobody has seen anyone post an actual MyTesterJobs payment proof.

Does this mean that MyTesterJobs doesn't pay? I don't know. In fact, it seems that nobody does. If a website has been around for more than half a year and not a single payment proof can be found through Google, that should raise a red flag in your head.

But lets assume that MyTesterJobs actually does pay. The minimum payout threshold on that site is $50. An average offer or task or 'tester job' that they give you is only worth a couple of cents. I just checked my account on there prior to writing this post and I still have the same old 3 'jobs' available to me that were there months ago. The biggest paying one is a few cents shy of a quarter. So how long do you think it will take you to reach $50 on MyTesterJobs?

Do yourself a favor and just don't bother with MyTesterJobs. It's not worth it, even if the site is legit. You will never reach the minimum payout threshold.

Instead, you can join one or two GPT sites that pay you to complete offers, take surveys, and do other tasks. Here is an entry I wrote about my favorite 3 GPT sites.

MyTesterJobs update

MyTesterJobs payment date was 2 days ago, and guess what? No payment received. Well, it would be hard to pay people without even getting their payment preferences, as I pointed out here.

However, there is a very notable update. Now, instead of the next payment date listed under your earnings table, there is "Payout Request" link. It all looks like this:

 

Notice how the minimum payout amount is $50.00! First of all, I've been on MyTesterJobs for about 2-3 months now, and I've only received 2 job offers. Secondly, their 'jobs' pay very little. How can anyone possibly expect to get to $50 at this rate? And even if someone managed to get to the minimum payout amount, do you think MyTesterJobs will actually pay? I'd be very skeptical.

And oh yeah, their Home page also has an update. MyTesterJobs is now trying to sell you a product, specifically an E-book about how you can "build a long-term profitable internet business":

"The complete package including all 3 Career Guides is worth more than US$ 300.00 but it is only US$ 24.90 for you as a Website Tester. With your purchase you automatically upgrade to Premium Level."

So is MyTesterJobs a scam? It's looking more and more like it. It seems like they just want to sell you E-books, be it their own or their "clients'", whose sites they send you to to 'test'. Don't waste your time with them.

MyTesterJobs payment not received

So today is October 15, the day that MyTesterJobs listed as their first Pay Day. I logged into my account in hopes of finding some good news. To my (expected) disappointment, there was no news at all. Hell, they don't even have a News section on the site! The only thing that changed on the site since my last visit was the Pay Day date. Now, it's listed as November 15th:

I made those 24 cents from my first job for them, but so far it doesn't look like I'll be receiving any payment from MyTesterJobs. I don't really understand how they can set up a Pay Day without requesting any details about where the payment should be sent. They do present you with a solid list of payment types to choose from:

But that's where it stops. I selected Paypal, but no further information (like Paypal ID) was requested from me...


Their Twitter doesn't have any info on the Pay Day either. Ocotber 15 is not over yet, though. They still have 6 hours until midnight, but I am not expecting anything to happen.

MyTesterJobs first website test and payment

I've been waiting to see what will become of MyTesterJobs website tester for a while now. They had a nice long pre-launch campaign under the name Websitetester.biz. When pre-launch ended, the site was inactive for about a week or so. The owners kept people updated through Twitter, where they said that they needed to set up additional servers because of the huge amounts of people that signed up worldwide. Well, the site seems to be running well now because today I was offered and completed my first website testing job:

As you can see, I made only 24 cents, but honestly all I had to do was go to a specified website, look around a bit and then fill out a short questionnaire. It took me no more than 3 minutes to complete both tasks. I even waited a bit more before submitting the form because I didn't want it to seem like I didn't do any work. The site was about E-books, all of them listed on one page, so there was very little site testing to do..

My account page says that the next payout is on October 15th. Let's see what happens.

I do find it interesting though that the site asks you about your preferred method of payment (I chose PayPal), yet they don't ask you for your e-mail for that service..
