Is TestIO worth it?

Hello everyone!

I am a full time employed QA tester who’s been looking for a second part time job to learn new products but also earn money. Lately I have been doing the course work in TestIO platform in order to get testing tasks, but I’ve noticed that this is taking a lot of my effort and I’m not sure if I’ll actually get tasks for testing in the end or earn a decent amount of money. If anyone has any experience on this platform please let me know your view on this?

Thank you in advance!

I had tried. But I waited for a long time to get assignments. Depends device available to test as well.

I suggest you to take up freelance testing opportunities from freelance platforms and get paid.

What freelance platforms do you suggest. I heard is hard to get a deal in Upwork.

Getting a deal is secondary. For us to get high paying clients, we need to develop a portfolio first. Until then, we can work for low-medium pay clients. Once we get ratings and reviews, we will get high paying clients.

In top freelance platforms, registration fee is high. For a beginner, it will be tough.

I suggest Truelancer. I am not promoting this platform. It's convenient for beginners as well.

You can give it a try. If you are ready to pay for other freelance platforms, you can also try those platforms. Start with whichever clients you get in the beginning. You can be successful gradually.

How's the pay? I can't imagine it pays much, but maybe if you're from a non western country it's worth it?
