The Ultimate Guide to Earning Money by Watching Ads

[00:00] If you search for ads that pay you to watch video ads, then video cash is one of the main that often come up. And some of my viewers have actually been asking me about it, so I decided to sign up and test it myself to find out what it's

[00:13] really about. And I've been testing ways to make money online since 2016 and I can tell you that there are a lot of ads out there that make big promises about easy earnings. So in this video here I'm going to show you exactly how video cash

[00:25] works, what I found when I tested it and whether it's actually worth your time. So let's start by going over who can join. And VideoCast is an app from what I can see, you can join from basically all countries

[00:39] and it is only available for Android devices. And when you just look at it here, it looks really great. It has more than 10 million downloads supposedly and quite good rating there. And when I first signed up, I actually got $38 just by joining and after watching a couple

[00:56] of ads, so it just took me a couple of minutes. all that sounds great but when I then continued there are some important things I came across. So before rushing to join please watch this full video so you know exactly what to expect.

[01:08] There are some very very important things you need to consider. So let me now log in and then we'll take a closer look. So I have now logged into Videocast and the one thing you need to be aware of is that how they make money is by having a lot of ads.

[01:21] So you will see a lot of ads even before you open the app. I just have to wait a minute or something like that now because there were a couple of ads I had to watch. So that's how you basically earn here. It shows all these other things.

[01:33] For example, you can go to home then, then you can watch videos, and then you can see when this one fills up, or you can click this one, or you can click the gift there. Basically many things that you can click, but all of it, also if you go to the activity when you check in,

[01:45] or there's these other watch ads, or Wheel of Fortune, all of it is basically just ways to get you to watch ads. So when you click something, you know, in this case here, then I didn't get anything, it's a little bit confusing,

[01:57] but you can see then here, there's this so-called lucky lottery there, and I didn win anything and then I can choose something else but all of it it just leads to ads popping up and for some of the options you can see you need to try a few times here and nothing really happens And it a little bit confusing

[02:12] what is actually going on. And then now I want to try to get out of here. I can't even really get out. So I just tried to go back. I could do that. So like, but what did I get out of it? I didn't get anything out of it.

[02:24] But that's what's so confusing. But then I can also go and check in and then Spin comes up here with unrealistic prices. Again, I have tested hundreds of ads like this and these grand prices there, you're not going to win an iPhone by doing this here and you can see half of it doesn't work anyways

[02:41] and ads keep popping up and then once in a while it adds some coins there when there has been ads shown and once in a while ads just randomly up. So the user experience is quite terrible in my opinion, but you can also see here, supposedly

[02:56] I had $62 earned and it has taken me maybe 15, 20 minutes. It has taken patience. It may not sound like a lot, but when you have spammy ads popping up and terrible user experience, 20 minutes can be a very long time in my opinion.

[03:10] So you can of course say, who cares about a lot of pop-up ads and terrible user experience if I could earn $62 in 20, 30 minutes, something like that. Well, that's the question then. Just because the money show up here does not mean that you can necessarily get it out.

[03:25] So let's talk a little bit more about that next. So I just went to the redeem section and this is one of the examples, then an ad pops up. So I can't even go to the redeem section without watching ads.

[03:37] So now it just takes me randomly to the Play Store or something like that. Okay, I'll just be back when I have come away out of this ad here. So I managed to get out of the ad

[03:51] and then I got to the redeem section. And then you can see the payout threshold is $300 and I have made money online for 10 years, tested hundreds of apps and websites and I have never ever come across a platform,

[04:06] pre-earning app, pre-earning website where they are actually planning to pay you where the threshold is this high Usually it maybe in some cases maybe but in one or two cases or so I seen a platform have a payout threshold of

[04:22] but I have never seen it higher. Any platform I've seen that has a threshold of, for example, $300 or something like that, they're not intending to pay you. That is my experience. You can say then oh yeah but you can quickly get to the 60 or the 300 dollars when you already have earned 62

[04:38] well I wish that was the case there's a reason that I have not kept going because I again have experience so I learn from experience and I don't want to waste my time and I just know that there will be a catch here how it usually works is that when you get closer then they will suddenly start

[04:54] paying you very very very little or there will be extra requirements because you will not earn $52 in 10 minutes, 15 minutes, half an hour by watching ads. You can earn very, very little on legit platforms that allow you to earn by watching video ads. Maybe you could earn a dollar in two or

[05:11] three hours because it's not sustainable for them to pay you more than that. So all this is based on years of experience that I know this is just not realistic. But you might then think like, well, why is the review sense so positive on the Google Play Play? So let's talk a little bit more about

[05:28] that. So many of the reviews are actually one-star reviews. It's easy to fake five-star reviews, so be careful trusting any platform that just have like this huge amount of positive

[05:40] reviews right after, especially when they have a few negative ones. But you see, there's something in common here. In general, I'm very careful to just look at these reviews because it can be manipulated both. People sometimes attack the legit platforms with negative reviews, and it's also easy to manipulate it with fake positive reviews. So just always

[05:57] but you can see if there's a genuine concern and if it's genuine people that have shared it. And there are a lot of people here, for example, say once I tried to withdraw, I was taken in or go back into the app and then I was in something called queue.

[06:10] And this is a classic trick that apps try to do also when they have this exaggerated earnings. Then when you reach the venture oh you are in a queue and you have to watch this amount of ads to withdraw or there a fee or you need to invite a certain amount of people Any ad or website that has additional requirements once you reach the payout threshold they are not intending to pay you

[06:31] Legit platforms will always tell you upfront. And when you reach the payout threshold, the only other requirement they might have, the div platform says that sometimes you need to do some kind of verification because they need to protect themselves against scammers also. But in general you can see here when you go into it here it says again with the queue and here that there's a delay

[06:49] Here it was told there that they would get the money within 14 to 28 days. That's a red flag Anyway, 30 days still didn't get it, watched a lot of ads, didn't get paid for it And there are a lot of stories like this from people that basically are not getting paid

[07:03] I have not seen anyone that have left ratings here where it actually seems genuine So you can see here the five-star reviews, I can just say based on my experiences after testing different ways to make money online for more than 10 years, it's not realistic

[07:17] way to earn. Reviews, they don't say that much, but I can just tell you that they have so many red flags and several of you have asked me to test it because you thought it almost sounded too good to be true. And that's my opinion based on my experiences.

[07:31] If you want to waste your time trying to actually reach the pay-off threshold, feel free to do it. But I'm just saying, I'm not going to spend any more time on it. I know there are better ways to earn realistically by watching videos or doing micro-tax in general.

[07:44] In general, you will earn a tiny, tiny bit by watching videos. It's actually one of the least effective ways to earn online. But if you really want to earn that way, here at the end screen, I will leave a video you can watch next about the best realistic ways to earn by watching videos.

[07:58] And you can also find the link to that below. I also have a written list of the best platforms like that on my website. I will leave a link to that below. But overall, definitely an app I would stay away from. If you have tried it yourself, please feel free to share your experiences and your opinions
