When you're doing freelancing, you will try to find clients that live out of state in some of those states that pay UX designers a higher salary. A lot of times clients from these states will be looking for a little bit higher quality work at a higher price which means that you can more easily raise your rates as you get better.

Test Websites and Apps

So after someone does all of that UI and UX design, a lot of companies will actually send that out to be tested to see if people will actually buy their product if people can actually figure out how to use their app or how to use their website and you can sign up to be one of the people that actually tests this there are a lot of different websites that you can do this through one of the more popular ones is called user testing.

They have a pretty easy system of signing up they give you directions on how you're supposed to do these reviews of these apps and these websites and then you'll get paid based on how long your review was if it was a recorded review or if it was a live interview but with any of these websites basically how it's going to work is that a company like Walmart will give them a page or a new website design that they want people to test out you'll get that page along with a set of tasks they'll ask you to walk through those tasks and to verbalize what you're seeing what you're thinking as you're going through the page and then those companies will gather those different reviews and those different walkthroughs and they'll improve their websites and their apps based on that feedback.
