Here are the best ways to watch videos and earn money:


1. Watch videos for cash on swagbucks




If you haven't already, we really recommend signing up to Swagbucks to start earning rewards for watching videos, surfing the web and completing surveys.

The types of videos you'll be shown on Swagbucks will vary, but you can expect plenty of short clips like ads, news content and viral videos.

By watching videos on the site, you might not earn huge amounts of money or 'Swagbuck points' (a.k.a. SB), but as it's such easy money, we definitely think it's worth trying.

2. Write subtitles for films as a freelancer




Particularly if you're looking to buid up your CV with film related experience, it's definitely worth thinking about writing subtitles for videos online on a freelance basis.

Often, video content creators will look for freelancers who can write up subtitles for their films, perhaps to make them more accessible for people with hearing loss, or to upload transcripts when posting YouTube videos.

As subtitles and transcripts can be quite time-consuming to write, video makers may well look for freelancers to do this for them – which is where you come in.

On sites like Fiverr, you can find freelancers offering to write video subtitles for a fee. Have a look at what other freelancers are charging for an idea of prices, and be sure to post rates that you think are fair but competitive.

As a guideline, though, we've seen freelancers on Fiverr often starting their rates at £4.16 to write subtitles.

3. Make money watching videos on inboxpounds



Inboxpounds works in a similar way to Swagbucks, letting you earn cash for super simple things like watching videos and taking surveys.

Again, you might not make big money on here, but the more tasks you do alongside watching videos, the more money you can make.

Even reading InboxPounds' deals emails or searching the internet on their search page can earn you cash.

4. Become a film and TV reviewer



If you're hoping to make a living from watching videos, becoming a film or TV reviewer is probably the best, most established way of doing so.

To start getting commissioned for film or TV reviews as a freelancer, it's worth setting up a blog to showcase your writing style and talent.

Then, look for commissioning editors of relevant publications, reach out to them directly (addressing them by their name in emails) and pitch them your idea. At the end of your pitch, link to your blog or websites so they can see what you can do.

5. Watch ads, movies trailer and more on iRazoo



iRazoo is another rewards site that lets you earn points for doing loads of very easy things like watching interesting videos, playing games and answering survey questions.

The videos include short films, cooking tutorials, movie trailers, app adverts and more. All you need to do is watch them, and you can earn iRazoo Points.

6. Take part in paid pyschological studies



If you're interested in taking part in psychological and behavioural studies, this could be a good way for you to make money from watching videos.

The amount you can get paid in compensation for doing psychological studies will vary massively depending on the type of trial and how long it lasts, but you could receive as much as £100+ for your time.

7. Watch advert for PayPal money on successbux



Successbux is a Paid-To-Click site that allows you to earn cash from watching adverts – something that requires so little work it's almost free money.

8. Earn crypto by watching video on TV TWO App



TV-TWO is an app that lets you earn crypto for watching videos. It works in a similar way to sites like Swagbuck in that you can watch videos and earn points (TTV tokens, in this case), but the main difference lies in how you receive the payout.

9. Promote videos for companies online



And, as a slightly easier way to make money, (we promise there's no crypto involved in this one), you could consider charging companies to promote their videos online.

The bigger your audience, the more you can charge companies to share their content.

Of course, it's important to make sure the videos you're promoting are good quality and relevant to your audience, as it could really impact your online brand.
