## Transcript

What if you could get paid just for  watching videos on your phone? In this   video, I'm revealing five legit apps  that actually pay you to watch content,   no special skills, no experience needed, it's  free, and it's easy, and it actually works. So  
if you're looking to make a bit of extra money  in your spare time, you don't want to miss this. My name is Mikael and I've tested hundreds of  ways to make money online. And watching videos is  
a very popular earning opportunity and a lot of  people keep asking me about this and wanted also   to know how they can earn by doing this on their  phone. So that's what I will show you in this video.   But before I will show you the five options that I  know are actually legit and will actually pay you  
and some of the best I found for this, I just want  to talk about the earning potential because when   it comes to earning online, it's always important  you do it with the right expectations. And overall   you will not earn a lot by watching videos. I often  get the question how can I earn $20 a day just by  
watching videos or $2 per video. So that's just not  realistic. That's not how that earning opportunity   works. There are legit apps and websites that will  pay you to watch content but you will not earn a  
lot by doing it. So it's just a bit of extra money  on the site. But all of the platforms that I will   show you also offers other earning opportunities  and I will definitely encourage you to make sure   to also use some of those earning opportunities  because if you're just relying on watching videos,  
you will not earn a lot and you will actually  find it hard to reach the payout threshold. So   that's just something to be aware of. But let me  now go over the five apps I wanted to show you. I   just first want to make it clear that it is not a  such a prioritize list because which of the options  
that are the best really depends on your personal  preferences and also to a certain degree which   country you live in. So I'll just present all of  them, tell a little bit more about them then you   can choose which of them are for you. You can join  all of them, just a few of them that's completely  
up to you. So let's now get to the list. So the  first option I want to show you is called Opinion   Edge. It started just as a survey site and you can still  find plenty of surveys here and that's a main way  
to earn. But they now also have something called  campaign offers where they once in a while have   a few videos you can earn just by watching. You can  use it on a website where I'm now for example, but   it also has an app for both Android and iOS  devices. And it's very user-friendly there and  
you can join it from around 34 different countries.  And you can get paid in gift cards or PayPal cash.   The next option I want to talk about is called  Freecash. It's mainly known as a website but  
it actually also has an app for Android devices. If  you want to earn from your iOS device, you can just   open the browser and still earn there. You can find  a lot of ways to earn a lot of paid offers, a lot   of ways to earn by playing games, and a lot of paid  surveys. You can join it from all countries and if  
you want to earn by watching videos, you have to  do it through what they call offer partners. These   different offer walls for example Timewall is one  of the offer walls where you can just connect it   here and then you can find videos you can earn  by watching here. Again it will not earn you a  
lot and Freecash has a lot of other ways where  you will earn more. For example the gaming offers,   the paid surveys, many of the other paid offers. So  make sure to use some of those options also. When   it comes to getting paid, you only need to earn  50 cents for some of the crypto payout options  
you can get paid for example in crypto PayPal  cash and choose between many different gift   cards. And once you cash out it pays basically  immediately which is one of the things I love   about Freecash. The next app and website I wanted  to talk about is called Pawns. It's available also  
in basically all countries. You can use it on  computer, on your phone iOS and Android devices.   The way you can earn by watching videos is  not directly by watching videos but because   it's a passive way to earn where you just need  to install it and then you can earn by sharing  
your unused internet bandwidth in the background,  then you can earn while you're watching videos   If you have pawns installed on your phone or your  computer in the background, you will earn just by  
sharing your unused internet bandwidth. It will not  give you huge earnings but it is super easy as you   can see as you just need to have it installed.  It also does offer paid surveys and some games   you can play to earn. So definitely also make  sure to check those options out. You only need  
to earn $5 to get paid and you can then get paid  via Bitcoin, PayPal, or choose between different   gift cards depending on your location. And if you  join through an invitation link you will also  
get a great joining bonus $1 joining bonus into  account right away. And then you will get another   $1 the first time you cash out and a dollar again  the second time you cash out. So a total of $3   joining bonus. In general, I will leave a link  below to a full list I have of all these where  
you can find the joining links get the joining  bonuses for the ones that offer that and easily   get started with your chosen options. We now only  have a couple of more options to go over and it'd   be great if you can just take one second to like  this video because it can help it to be seen by  
more people and I would definitely appreciate that  support. Next we have appKarma and appKarma is an   app you can download for iOS and Android devices  from basically all countries. Also this one gives  
you a special joining bonus if you join through an  invitation link. Usually you will get 300 points if   you just join. I have a VIP invitation link so you  will get 500 points as a joining bonus. Again you   can find that on the full list on my website.  I'll leave a link to that below. But appKarma
is actually known as an app that will pay you to  play games. But it also does have a bonus section   where you can watch some small video ads and earn  a bit extra. Again that's not the main way to earn   here. You should only really use it if you also  like to play games and then you can earn by doing  
that and then you can watch these small videos to  earn a bit extra once in a while. The last option   I wanted to show you is called Cointiply. It has a  whole section called watch to earn there. So you   can come in you can find it and you can then go to  these platforms and you can earn you can see, for  
example, here you would earn five coins per point  you will earn there. Here 51 coins for every three   ads and here you can also see how much you would  earn there. And each of these options available in  
different countries. But Cointiply itself is available  in all countries and you can also earn by playing   games, clicking ads, taking paid surveys. It has  a faucet where you can roll once in a while and   get some free points that way also. Just be aware  that it's only relevant if you want to get paid  
in crypto because it only pays out in crypto. You  just need to earn $3.5 to get paid. When it comes   to an using the app itself it is only available  for Android devices but you can also use it on   a computer or you can just log in if you want  to use it on an iOS device through your browser.  
So as you can see, if you want to earn from your  phone by watching videos, there are some good legit   options but it is very important you do it with  the right expectations. I always make it very clear   that it's not realistic to make huge amounts of  money by watching videos. I get that question all  
the time and I just want to emphasize that is  not possible. It's not a very effective way to   earn. Watching videos is in fact one of the least  effective online earning methods but of course it   can be entertaining, it can be fun. And if that  is what you go for, these options I showed you  
here are the best that I have come across you  can use on your phone. I do have a full list as   mentioned where you can find more information  about all these. You can find the joining links.   You can find full tutorials of each of them.  So I'll leave a link to that below so you can  
go and check that out/ And if this video helped  you, also make sure to hit the like button and   don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel  and hit the notification bell so you won't miss   out next time I release a video with tips and  tricks about different ways to make money online.
