5 of the Best Apps for Getting Paid to Watch Ads

Here are five ways to get paid to watch advertisements.

1.Inbox Dollars

Check out InboxDollars if you're looking for a quick and easy way to make money watching videos and ads. Daily rewards can be earned by watching a variety of short videos. Every day, look for new videos and other ways to make money, such as performing web searches, completing online surveys, playing games, and signing up for promotional offers.

You must earn at least $30 before you will be paid. Your cash payout will be delivered to you in the form of PayPal cash, ePayment (merchant gift cards, prepaid Visa cards, or a charitable donation), or a check in the mail. Checks can take between 10 and 16 business days to arrive.

2.Swagbucks

Swagbucks is a no-cost online rewards programme. Earn Swagbucks (SBs) for watching various videos, some short and some longer. Entertainment, fashion, food, health, home and garden, news and politics, parenting, and sports are some of the video categories.

In addition to watching videos, you can earn SBs by taking surveys, using coupons, shopping online through the cash-back portal, and other activities. You can exchange your points for gift cards or PayPal cash.

 

You can get a $1 Amazon gift card for as few as 160 SBs. If you prefer cash, the PayPal payout threshold is $5 or 500 points.

3.Ibotta

Ibotta, one of the most popular ways to get cash back on groceries and other purchases, may require you to watch advertisements in order to claim your rebates. If you do, you may be able to save up to $1 (or more) when you scan your receipt.

It's a quick and easy way to get money back on your purchases, with ads typically lasting less than 30 seconds. Also, if you haven't used Ibotta before, you can get up to $20 in bonuses if you create an account and redeem qualifying offers within 30 days of signing up.

 

4.iRazoo

iRazoo has given its users more than $55 million in cash rewards. You can join for free and get paid to watch ads and videos on your phone.

 

You can also comment on the latest advertisements or movie trailers, as well as watch short films, app trailers, cooking tutorials, and other content. There are more than 50 content channels, and inventory is refreshed daily.

On iRazoo, you will earn points for each activity you complete. You can earn points for entering promo codes, reading emails, and completing other offers in addition to watching videos and ads. Once you've accumulated 3,000 iRazoo points, you can exchange them for gift cards to retailers such as Amazon or AMC theatres, or for cash via PayPal.

 

5. Nielsen TV Ratings

Nielsen is best known for its TV show rating system. The company counts how many people watch television shows and collects data, which it then sells to television and cable networks, advertisers, and the media.

Every household in the United States with a television is eligible to be chosen as a Nielsen Family. You cannot sign up to join because participation is by invitation only. However, keep an eye out for your invitation in your mailbox.

 

If you accept an invitation, you will be compensated for your participation in the programme. It's not much money — usually around $200 per year — but it's a way to get paid to watch TV.
