Welcome back to the channel. Now, recently I came across this app that actually came up for an ad for me called Nice Drama. And in this ad, they claim that you can make $120 in a day just by binging your favorite short form drama episodes. This is a side hustle that you can do at night. So, it's perfect for all of you parents out there because you can do it after the kids go to sleep. All you need is a phone and Wi-Fi. Let me show you how. Tired of spending hours watching dramas without getting anything in binge watching your favorite dramas. Like, they literally claim you just open the app, watch some shows, and you get paid. And it sounded far too good to be true. And I went in this pretty much thinking it's 100% going to be far too actually happened. So Nice Drama is honestly just one of those typical short form drama apps where they have like one to three minute vertical videos of very like soap opery feeling shows that you can watch. So think about like you know specifically caught my eye about this one which is very different than the other apps is this one actually claims that you can earn money by watching these videos. So not only can you watch shows that you love, you can earn money while doing so. So, for every video you watch, you will earn points that can then be converted into cash and redeemed via PayPal. So, I went ahead and downloaded it. I signed up and I dove in. So, when you open the app and you go into the home tab, you're immediately hit with a number of different titles. you can make per each of those shows. So, once you actually click into a show, the episode will immediately start playing. and you see this little icon right on like the right corner that essentially counts up how many points episodes just keep kind of playing over and over again. What I've gathered so and occasionally interacting with bonus tasks or spin. The UI is all very like tick tockish honestly and it's somewhere between like a streaming app and a reward app. The other thing that they have on this app is a rewards tab. And in that rewards tab, you can do things like daily check-ins, you know, watching ads and small tasks to earn additional points. The rewards tab is essentially just a gamified way to get you to watch ads to be honest. So once I got the lay of the land, I decided to test it out. So I watched maybe like an hour or so of episodes and watch some ads as well. And my original plan would be just like open the app and let it run throughout an entire day, but unfortunately they kind of block you from doing that. So every few episodes that play, you get a popup that says watch an ad in order to get the next three episodes to play. So if you're not there like clicking on the ad, it just kind of like stalls your At the end of that hour, I've accumulated a little over 25,000 points. mind, I was like, 25,000 points is probably going to be like 25 cents. So the next morning I went and checked and it takes a couple of hours for the points to kind of settle and I only made eight cents. And so I'm not exactly sure what the conversion is, but all I know is it's a far cry from being able to make $820 in a day. Like the math just does not math in order to hit that is just inconsistent. So the first day I went on the app, I got 25,000 points and equates to." So, the next day I did 30,000 points and got four cents, which doesn't really make sense. So, I'm curious to know if the amount of money you make depends on how you got your points, watching ads versus watching shows. Maybe one pays more than the other. So, all in all, this app really isn't like passive income. It's more of like an ad reward ecosystem that kind of keeps you constantly watching ads in order to get points. And one thing I will say is watching ads actually gives you significantly more points than the better way to actually do it. Because when I was watching episodes, I think I watched three episodes and I got like 1,200 points. But if you go on the rewards tab, you can watch one ad and get 1500 points. So it actually doesn't themselves. You're actually better off just watching as many ads as you can. it something about this app that just made me feel like there was going to be a to be this whole thing. But no, you can actually cash out directly to PayPal. And you simply just you can see how much you've earned. You put in how much you want to redeem and then it just asks you to put in your PayPal email address as PayPal. It really is as simple as that. And I was only redeeming like 12 cents at the end of the day. But the fact of the matter is it does actually pay you. Now, with all that being said about this app, let's just let's break down the and there's no upfront cost. Uh, also, if you're into watching these like short then there's no minimum payout threshold. So, that's all great stuff. I you're looking to cash out actual dollars like $1, $2, you would have to spend many many hours on the app in order to cash out that amount. So earnings are just relatively really slow. I will also say that this app is more about watching ads than it is actually watching shows. At least that's how it was to me. And honestly, the last con is you're just trading a lot of time for very little money. So here's my overall take on Nice Drama. Is it legit? Yes, it's not a scam. you watch videos, you get paid, but the claims are very exaggerated on how much you can actually make. So, if you're looking to make, you it's possible to get one or $2 in a day on this app. But if you're looking to make like real money by, you know, watching videos or watching ads or watching whatever, I think there's much better apps out there. One of the ones classic. It's been around forever. That's a great one to check out. End of the day, would I use Nice Drama again? No. I I don't think it was worth it. But if you love hearing about different money-making apps and ways to earn from places like, you know, Swag Bucks, Free Cash, Click Worker, whatever it is, I have a ton of other videos and places that you can check out to earn some put a playlist below. Thank you as always for watching. I'll catch you in the next one.
