my name is Robert and I'm an Beta Reader. This answer is based on my experience. I started cataloguing my books (the ones I owned and those I intended to read) on Goodreads in 2013. Since then I have consistently recorded and reviewed each book that I have read. I had only started reviewing for a short while before I started to receive requests to review books in return for a free copy. I am happy to do this because, duh - it's free books, but also because I like to explore different kinds of fiction, and what better way to do this than to read new and up-coming stuff. I would say that the only qualification you need to succeed as a beta-reader is to be enthusiastic and wide-ranging in your reading habits and to be capable to putting together a decent (constructive) review. It also helps if you're willing to post that review in as many places as possible (with Goodreads and Amazon being top of the pile). Good luck going forward, in all your endeavours.
