Weak Month Invites
Hi everyone! I’ve been on uTest for almost 5 months now. Up until recently, I was getting around 8 direct invites a month. At the beginning of June I had several test cases and bugs approved, so I honestly thought this would be my best month so far.
But after June 8th, the direct invites just stopped. Since then I’ve only been getting surveys and Project Board/apply emails. I know uTest is pretty unpredictable, and I’ve seen even high-rated testers mention they go through slow periods. I also did a bit of searching and found some people saying it could be related to the Q2/Q3 transition and summer holidays. Do you guys think that’s actually a thing, or is it just random? Also, from your experience, which months are usually the slowest for invitations on uTest (or crowdtesting in general)?
For some extra context, I’m a Brazilian tester, and I’m still receiving surveys and Project Board/apply emails—it’s just the direct invites that disappeared.
