Each testing site varies in terms of how much you will make. Some companies will pay you $10 while others might pay you $12 per test so, it depends on which ones you qualify for during that time. It should take about 15 to 30 minutes to complete each task depending on the test.

14. Do VoiceOver Work
Ever wonder how much fun it would be to be a voice-over actor? The great thing about being a voice-over actor is that you can do it anywhere which is a huge plus for travelers and people on the go. Different companies hire voice over actors for radio, the Internet, and Television gigs to do voice-over work for children’s audiobooks, cartoons, commercials, and more.
.. As a beginner, I suggest putting together a voice over demo and you can do that by going to a professional recording studio or by setting it up yourself. If you do it yourself make sure to get a great microphone and a set of great headphones.
On the demo, you would record different voices that you can do such as cartoon characters so that the different clients that you audition for can see if you would be a good fit for the role. Your demo will be your resume for auditions! To find voice over work you can check out these places: Freelancer, and Fiverr.
