Can You Make Money From Africa With Usercrowd in 2022

                                                 Micro tasks or Micro earnings

Usercrowd is a platform that pays you for your opinion on different aspects of app and website creation. It usually takes less than a minute per task. 

I worked with UserCrowd from December 2019 to this day (August 21st, 2021) 

How It works

You will need to sign up for Usercrowd using an email account that is attached to your Paypal. I happened to be living in the US at the time I applied so I used my US email attached to a US Paypal account. I would be living in the US for about 6-8 months at that time. This will affect my relationship with this platform, later on, so keep reading.

On the home page of their website Usercrowd says they will pay you for design feedback. You will receive an email several times a day and it will look like this.

Hey (testers name),

There’s a new test now available for you to take.
It should take about 1 minute to complete and will earn you $0.20.

Take the test

Please note that tests are completed on a first-come, first-served basis, so the test will be available for a limited time.

Happy testing!
The UserCrowd Team.

Before the pandemic, 1-minute tests paid $0.10 but they doubled our pay during the pandemic. If the test takes 5 minutes, which they rarely do your payout amount would be $1. These surveys are listed for 1 minute but they can take you less time to get them done.  

On their frequently asked questions, UserCrowd firmly states that this should not be considered a primary source of income, more like a way to supplement your income. All your responses are rated and your rate will determine the frequency of testing opportunities available to you

                                                            Payout Process on Usercrowd

The payout on this website is $10 so it takes about a month to cash out.

They payout through paypal only so please make sure your paypal account is in good standing.

Here is my payment history with  Usercrowd in 2020

I received a number of payouts with Usercrowd while I was in the US and also once I came back to Kenya, where I reside. I returned from the US in July 2019 and as you can see my tests and payments continued. In November or December of 2020, I noticed I wasn't receiving tests anymore, but I ignored it and focused on my other gigs and my business. I just figured it was a slow business month for them. In January 2021, I sent them an email inquiring on why I wasn't receiving surveys anymore. My ratings were still good and I was one survey away from cashing out, remember you cash out at $10

My Rating was 99% I had 215 tests under my belt and I wasn't receiving tests anymore. I received a response from Usercrowd and it was pretty disappointing. I would not be receiving any more tests because I no longer live in the US. I now have $9.60 stuck in my account that I could not cash out to Paypal until I returned to the US. I have sent several emails trying to get this paid out to me. I am still waiting to hear from them.

UserCrowd Review Summary

Is this website Legit (3 stars)

Can most people do the tasks (5 stars)

Can we work from African Countries (1 star) 

This website might be legit but they are super shady and petty. If you live outside the US this gig is not worth signing up for, chances are they will let you do the surveys and then refuse to pay you. If you live in the US there are so many other websites that pay way more than this that are worth pursuing. These might be micro surveys but they are tedious and not worth pursuing and they are shady AF they might not pay you either. 

Most importantly this website is not friendly to digital nomads and people living outside the United States so if you ask " Can we work?" The answer is NO! I do not recommend it.

Usercrowd may not be the best way to make money, but I review tons of platforms on my YouTube channel. Use this link to see examples of other platforms.
