[00:02] People spend hours every day watching videos online, YouTube, Tik Tok, Instagram, Netflix, and then they wonder why they don't have enough money at the end of the month. But what if I told you that there are actual jobs that will pay

[00:17] you to do the same thing that you're already doing, watching videos. And I'm not talking about filling out surveys. I'm not talking about these little cashback apps. I'm talking about real companies, real payouts, and jobs where

[00:32] you can work from home on your own schedule reviewing content or moderating videos. And here's what's wild. Some of these jobs pay $20, $30, even up to $50

[00:45] an hour. And most people don't even know they exist. So, in this video, I'm going to break down six ways that you can get paid by watching videos. And you don't

[00:57] need any fancy equipment, no experience, and definitely no showing your face on camera. All right, first up is a company called Appen. Now, Appen has been around since the 90s, and it's legit. I'm talking about publicly traded

[01:13] international company legit. Now, the job that we're focusing on with Appen is called a video evaluator. Here's how it works. They'll send you around 750 short form video clips, usually pulled from

[01:28] Tik Tok, Instagram, or YouTube, and your job is to watch each one of them and rate it based on its content quality and relevance. You're not creating anything. You're not editing anything. You're just

[01:43] giving feedback. And once you finish reviewing those clips, Appen will pay you $300. Now, if you spread that out over $300. Now, if you spread that out over 25 to 30 hours, that's roughly 10 to 12

[01:57] dollar an hour. But think about it, you can do this while you're watching TV, laying in bed, or taking a walk. You don't have to worry about taking any calls, no interviews, no meetings. Just watch and rate. And here's another thing

[02:12] that some of you may find cool about Appen. They will even let you use temporary accounts so that you don't have to use your personal accounts. So, if you're someone who hates to clutter up your Tik Tok or Instagram algorithm,

[02:28] then don't worry because you can get access to temporary accounts. And this access to temporary accounts. And this is one of the easiest, low pressure ways to get your foot in the door and get started with these type of jobs. So, if

[02:40] you're interested in getting started with this, you'll want to go to the Crowd Gen byapping job page. And I'll leave all the links to every job description. So, when you go to that page, you'll see the position overview,

[02:55] responsibilities, requirements, and compensation. So, you can check out that information, and then once you're ready to apply, just click the apply button and then fill out the application form. After submission, you'll receive an

[03:10] email from Crowd Genen to set up your account. Follow the instructions to reset your password and complete the setup requirements. Once your account is set up, you can proceed with the application for this projectbased role.

[03:25] The next one on the list, and this one has been solid for years, is rev.com. If you've ever watched a YouTube video with captions on or hit subtitles on a

[03:38] Netflix, chances are someone like you created them. Rev.com allows you to get paid to caption and subtitle video content. And you got three ways to go about doing this. First is

[03:53] transcription, where you listen and you type out what is being said. Second is captioning where you type it out but you sync it with the speaker's voice. And

[04:05] then you got subtitling. It's the same as captions but sometimes in another language. Now, if you're just getting started, transcription and captions can started, transcription and captions can earn you around $20 to $30 an hour

[04:18] depending on your accuracy and typing speed. But if you go the subtitling route, especially if you're bilingual, you can earn anywhere from $39 to up to

[04:30] $51 an hour. No camera, no mic, no experience needed. And they pay weekly experience needed. And they pay weekly via PayPal and there's always work available. To get started working with Rev, just go to

[04:43] rev.com freelancers. And you got some options to choose from. Like I said, you can do transcriptionist. Uh, you can be a captioner or you can do subtitling. You choose your job, then you click apply and then you're gonna go through a

[04:59] quiz to where you're going to show them that you can follow simple instructions. Once approved, you'll get access to the job board where you can start working right away. Okay, this next job actually means something. And a lot of you may

[05:13] find this to be a wonderful job. is with a company called Gaggle and they pay people to review student content for signs of danger. I'm talking about kids in kindergarten through 12th who are uploading school projects, messages, and

[05:29] uploading school projects, messages, and videos. And your job is to flag anything that may be serious. Bullying, abuse, self harm, threats of violence. Yeah, you're watching videos and that can be some pretty easy money. But what's

[05:43] bigger than money is with this company, you can potentially save someone life or stop something early before it starts. This company will pay you anywhere from $25 to $26 an hour to do that. So, how do you

[05:59] get started with this job? Well, first you want to go over to this page right here. This is Gaggle's official job board page. and you want to scroll through the listings and look for roles like comment reviewer or student safety

[06:14] fits, you want to read through the description, then click on it and fill out the short application. And a heads up, these jobs open and close pretty often. So, if you go over there and you don't see the job listed, just check

[06:30] back every week or two because they're always hiring reviewers when spots open up. Okay, job number four, and this one right here is underrated. It's ThreePlay

[06:42] Media, and this company right here will hire you to become a voice writer. What is a voice writer? You're going to basically be joining live streams, whether it's church service, webinar, or event. And as the speaker talks, you're

[06:59] just going to be repeating what they say into your mic. The AI will take your voice and turn it into realtime captions for anyone who can't hear or for people who prefer to just read along. It's kind of wild honestly. You just repeating

[07:14] what you hear and let the tech do the rest. No typing, no writing, just you, a headset, and about 90 minutes of focus. Now, the pay is around $19 to $27 an

[07:27] hour depending on the project, but you don't need any experience. All you need is clarity, consistency, and the ability to follow along. To get started, you go threeplaydia.com. And as I said before, I'll leave all the links below in the

[07:43] description. You want to scroll to the bottom of the website. And then you want to click where it says transcriptionist jobs. And then you want to look for the role that says either voice writer or you want to look for realtime

[07:57] transcription. And then you want to fill out all the basic information and they'll walk you through a test and if you pass you'll be added to their contractor pool and then you can accept jobs based on your availability. Next up

[08:13] is daily transcription. Now this one right here is for those who are more detail oriented or maybe have a little transcription experience already. This company will hire you to transcribe and

[08:27] subtitle video content. But the part that stands out to me is how much they that stands out to me is how much they pay. They can pay you up to $50 to $80 per hour of video content. Now, hold up. That doesn't mean that you're making $80

[08:42] per hour of your time because it may take you two to three hours to get through an hour of video depending on how fast you work. But even still, the earning potential is way higher than your average work from home gig. To

[08:57] your average work from home gig. To apply for this job, head over to daily the way down and you'll see application links for different job roles like general transcriptionist or legal transcriber or medical transcriber.

[09:13] Click on the one that fits you the best and fill out the short application and then upload a resume if they ask for it. Number six is from a company that you've definitely heard of, Amazon. But what you might not know is Amazon run a

[09:29] you might not know is Amazon run a platform called Mechanical Turk or MTurk for short. And they will pay regular people just like you to complete these small bite-sized jobs. They call these jobs microtask. And a lot of it involves

[09:44] watching short videos, tagging content, checking for quality, and moderating user uploaded clips. Here's how it works. A company might upload 10 to 20 videos and ask you to tag objects in the videos, identify inappropriate content,

[10:01] or confirm that the caption matches the visuals. stuff that a computer isn't great at yet, but something that you can do by simply just watching and paying attention. But I'mma be real with you here for a minute. The pay varies a lot.

[10:16] here for a minute. The pay varies a lot. Some tasks will pay you 50 cents to $2, Some tasks will pay you 50 cents to $2, while some will pay you $5 to up to $10 or more depending on the time involved. But the real win is that you can knock

[10:29] out multiple of these tasks in a row. And the faster you get, the more you earn. People who've been doing this for a while report making anywhere from $15 a while report making anywhere from $15 to up to $20 per hour and sometimes more

[10:42] if they choose the higher paying gigs. Now, this is a low pressure position, guys. You don't have to worry about having a degree that's very flexible and yeah, you're getting paid to watch videos or review content. To get

[10:57] started, you'll want to go to mturk.com. That's mturk.com. And then you want to click on get started with Amazon Mechanical Turk. that's going to give you two options. You're going to see create a task or
