05:43[00:00] A lot of people are looking for ways to earn passive PayPal money. But the reality is that most of what you see online about passive income is either overhyped or just not passive at all. So, in this video, I'm going to show you seven methods that actually run in the background once you've
[00:13] set them up. No daily tasks, no constant clicking or anything like that. But, I'm also going to show you what you can realistically earn because it is important you do it with the right expectations.
[00:25] My name is Mikael and after testing a lot of different earning apps and platforms over the years, I found that there are not many ways to earn extra PayPal cash completely passively. But there are a few. You just need to know what to expect and which ones are actually worth setting
[00:40] up. So, in this video, I'll go through seven passive methods that run in the background so you know how they work and I'll also explain who they are actually a good fit for so you don't waste your time on the wrong ones. So before going over the methods I want to show you, let's first
[00:55] talk about the earning potential so you do it with the right expectations. And it's important to understand that when I hear say passive income options, it means that you literally don't have to do anything. It's one not one of these overhyped where I say passive once you have worked for 500
[01:10] hours or something like that. That's not what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about something where you literally do not have to change anything about what you're really doing in everyday life and you don't really have to spend any extra time. But that of course also means that the earning
[01:23] potential is very limited because you don't really have to do anything at all. You just set it up. Sometimes you have to maybe click a login or something once a day or something like that. That's all and then you earn a bit extra in the background. But it is a bit extra. It's for a tiny
[01:36] bit of extra money on the side. It's not $10, $50, $100 per day or anything like that. Not at all, but a little bit of extra money once in a while. That's what you can expect from these options. And I've tested a ton of passive income options and there are not that many that actually pay out via
[01:51] PayPal. But these options that I will show you here, they all do offer that. So, let's go over them. It's not a prioritized list because which of the options are best really depends on you. And you can also use several of them together if you want to. So, let's now go over the first option.
[02:06] I'll explain a little bit about each and then you can pick out which of them you think is a good match for you. When talking about passive income, we have to talk about Honeygain. It is a platform unused internet bandwidth and then you will earn a little bit of extra money in the background.
[02:23] You can join from all countries, but how much you can earn depends a lot on your country, but again, not a lot you can earn. A little bit here and there. There are some different ways where you can earn a little bit extra if you use it on several devices. So, if you use they have some different
[02:35] bonus opportunities. I have a a full video also. I'll leave a link in the top corner here where I talk more about how you can get the most out of it, different tips and tricks for that. So, if you want to check that out, I'll leave a link to that. But this is one of the options. You can
[02:49] get paid in PayPal once you have earned $20. So, that does take some patience. You do get a joining bonus. The exact joining bonus will vary, but usually you get a higher joining bonus if you join through an invitation link. I'll leave a link below to full written tutorials of all these here.
[03:02] they're joining links that will make sure that you get the highest possible joining bonus. It will also support me and my channel. I would definitely appreciate that. So you can joining bonus to support me. But anyways that is Honeygain the first option I wanted to mention.
[03:23] Pawns is next and this is both an app and a website. It has several ways to earn. It also has on computer. It used to also have on mobile where you could earn passively. Currently it still
[03:35] has that on computer also at the time of recording this where you just install it similar to Honeygain. Earn by sharing your unused internet bandwidth. It also has other ways where you can do microtasks and play games and take surveys. It has more opportunities through the app. So,
[03:48] can be a great way to also earn in other ways and definitely the other ways will earn you a lot more. Just keep that in mind if you decide to use pawns. It's also one you can join from all countries. You only need to earn $5 to be able to redeem. In addition to getting paid via PayPal,
[04:03] another one where you can get a great joining bonus. You can get a $3 joining bonus. Again, you can join through my invitation link. I'll leave links below, full reviews. You can click those at the top there. There are the joining links that will give you those joining bonuses.
[04:19] Swagbucks is next. It is one of the most popular get-paid-to sites and many people will then say, that is true. Many of the ways you can earn here is for example playing games, taking paid surveys,
[04:31] doing different all the small tasks. But Swagbucks also in some countries, not in all countries, but in some countries, it has cashback offers. So that means you basically you can install it as a browser extension or you could go into Swagbucks and if you shop online and they have
[04:44] partnered with few thousand partners in specific countries and that means if you just click a link here go to the platform the website where you're about to shop anyways, you'll get a percentage of what you're using back into your Swagbucks account. So you don't really have to do anything else. You
[04:58] just have to especially if you install the browser extension then it will make you aware. So when you are on platforms where you're about to shop, it will tell you, oh, if you just click this link here with Swagbucks, then you will actually earn a percentage back. Sometimes it can be like 1%, 2%,
[05:11] 5%, and sometimes even up to 10%. So you're going to spend that money anyways. Why not use cashback offers to then get some of it back into your account. Swagbucks is a platform you can join from all countries, but the cashback offers are not available in all countries. Basically,
[05:25] only a few countries. So just keep that in mind. You can withdraw via PayPal, Payoneer, many different gift cards depending on your country. The payout threshold usually starts at around $5. Survey Junkie Pulse or Surf to Earn as they also call it is a part of Survey Junkie which is a
[05:43] popular survey website and app. You can only join it if you live in the US, UK, Canada or Australia. But if you do, it's great survey app if you like paid surveys and survey website. But it also has
[05:55] something called Survey Junkie Pulse where you can see here it's a exclusive research community where you just surf to earn. You install it on your computer here or your phone and then it
[06:07] looks at how you use the internet anonymously of course and that is used for market research and then you will earn extra for that. You will also sometimes get invited to exclusive surveys when you're part of this and and definitely be worth considering also. Survey Junkie very user-friendly
[06:22] survey web and app site. So, if you're using it using this one here to earn extra passively, definitely something worth considering. And you just need $5 to redeem, for example, via PayPal. It also offers in some countries bank transfer or many different gift cards to choose from.
[06:37] Before moving on, I just want to make you aware that the majority of you watching have actually not subscribed to my channel. It's a free easy way to support me and my work here. So, also make sure to hit the like button, I would definitely appreciate that.
[06:52] EarnApp is another of the platforms where you can earn just by installing it and sharing your unused bandwidth in the background. You can join from all countries. You can earn a little bit by doing that. Again, if you want to use some of the paid offers, you can earn more from that. And you just
[07:07] need to earn $5 to redeem via PayPal. It also offers you to cash out via Amazon gift cards, for example. It's not one I use a lot compared to the others, but still as an extra one. You
[07:19] can test which ones works best for you and your country and can you install several of these at the same time? That depends on your device and all that. Sometimes it can conflict. Other times you can let several of them run in the background on several devices and earn more that way.
[07:34] Speaking of sharing your unused internet bandwidth and just earning passively that way, PacketStream is another option like that. You can join again from all countries. Again, not something you will earn a lot from, but just letting it run without any effort, you can earn
[07:47] a bit of extra PayPal money once in a while. The last option I want to go over is another cashback option. This is an app and this is only available in the US, but there are many different cashback apps and website. I also do have more information on my website about cashback apps and websites.
[08:03] You can go there and search for that if you want to. But anyways, the great thing about that, I explain more about why I think cashback apps are are great to get money back that you're going to spend anyways, at least a percentage of it. And Ibotta has an app, so you can do it from your
[08:18] phone. Also, some cashback websites and apps also has the opportunity to actually add a card. So, whenever you shop with a certain card, you will get back percentages into your account. So, that makes it even more passively. You don't have even have to click specific links or something
[08:32] like that. So cashback options definitely something worth considering. Ibotta is one of the good ones also. So these are the best passive ways to earn PayPal money that I have come across. rich or a ton of money or anything like that. But a bit extra without basically any extra effort
