Beginner friendly: Moderate

I’d rate it a 3 because while user interviews can be a lucrative side hustle, it requires some effort to find opportunities and get accepted. Beginners need to sign up on multiple platforms like UserTesting, Respondent, or User Interviews, and it may take time to qualify for studies. The process involves creating a profile, applying for studies, and sometimes passing screener questions. Although no special skills are needed, persistence and patience are key, as competition can be high and availability of studies may vary.
