AI Summary

This video tests four popular money-making apps (Wintube, Chu Capcha, Switcoin, and Fiverr/Workana) to see if they actually pay as promised. The creator shares his earnings and experience, revealing that most apps pay far less than advertised or change terms to prevent withdrawals.

[01:10]
Wintube: Paid to Watch Videos

Wintube pays you to watch YouTube videos. The creator earned $7.48 from videos and $5 referral bonus in 24 hours, but the minimum withdrawal is $80. After 3 more days, he reached $98.44, but $65 had to come from watching videos, which becomes increasingly difficult as pay per video decreases. Conclusion: impossible to reach $65, app doesn't work.

[04:10]
Chu Capcha: Paid for Captchas

Chu Capcha pays for completing captchas. The creator earned $0.00026 per captcha, did 61 for $0.0898, then 1732 captchas to reach $0.50 minimum withdrawal. Withdrawal worked instantly. Took 5 hours, earning ~$0.10 per hour, far below the promised $0.20-$0.80 per hour. App works but pays very little.

[06:49]
Switcoin: Paid to Walk

Switcoin pays you in Sweatcoins for walking (1000 steps = 1 Sweatcoin) and watching ads. The creator walked 9,025 steps in 1 hour, earning 11.43 Sweatcoins (worth ~$0.23). However, the app changed terms: now Sweatcoins can only be used for raffle tickets or auction bids, not direct gift cards, unless you pay €29.99/year premium. Not worthwhile.

[10:35]
Fiverr and Workana: Freelance Voice Acting

The creator tried Fiverr for voice-over services but got no orders in 24 hours due to high competition. Switched to Workana, applied to many job offers, got hired for a $24 job (80% commission = $19.20). Took 2 hours, earning $9.60 per hour. This worked but required skill and effort.

[14:00]
Conclusion: Simple Apps Pay Little

Simple tasks (watching videos, captchas, walking) pay very little due to high competition. More complex skills (voice acting) pay better but require effort. The creator advises building a long-term project instead of wasting time on these apps.

Most money-making apps pay far less than advertised or change terms to prevent withdrawals. The only viable option tested was freelancing on Workana, which paid $9.60/hour for voice acting, but requires skill and effort.

[00:01] making money, both on YouTube and Instagram and on TikTok. There are videos of people who teach you, who explain how to use apps to simple things, things like, for example, listening to music, watching videos, or even

[00:17] you can see some of these videos, and in these videos they promise quite great results by doing quite simple things. This to be true, and that's why I've tested four of the most

[00:31] popular apps out there for making money. And in this video I'm going to share my experience with you and, above all, I'm going to tell you how much money I've managed to earn with each of these apps. The goal is for me to invest my time

[00:43] you don't have to, and so you know exactly which apps how much money you can make with each one. All the apps I that don't require any investment, and the only thing we have to invest is

[00:58] our time. I've come to the armchair, here a little more relaxed, to explain my experience to you. I have all the results and my experience written down here and I'm going to get down to explaining everything. The first

[01:10] application I tried is called Wintube. This is an app that pays you to watch YouTube videos. I discovered this app in a talks about this app that has no less than 892,000 views and

[01:24] Ultimately, this is a good sign when we're looking for apps to make more important than views are the likes, since it tells us that there are actually many people who have clicked the like button and if they

[01:38] usually for a reason. When I created my account on Wintuben, it's a very simple interface and five videos appeared, showing me the amount of money I would videos. In addition to the videos appearing, five videos appeared, since

[01:53] new videos appear every day , I also received $5 as a say is a welcome bonus, but $5 that account. And then, after doing some research

[02:06] , I saw the referral area that you get entirety, but rather for 34 seconds. So, I got videos that were available, and ended up with a balance of $7.48.

[02:23] with a balance of $7.48. This 7.48 was the money I had money I earned by watching these videos, and I also decided to try the friends, my brother, and my sister, and I managed to earn additional dollars. The

[02:37] referral system is that people don't need to measure videos or do anything, they account, which is really easy. So, once I got to this point, I decided I wanted to withdraw the money, but I couldn't withdraw the money

[02:50] because I needed 80 to be able to make the withdrawal. So, I hadn't reached the minimum to withdraw. So, if we base it solely on 24 hours, we can say that in 24 hours I have earned 12.48,

[03:03] adding up the referral bonus and watching the videos, but at the same time I have earned zero because I cannot withdraw this money. So what I did was test this application for several more days and thanks to testing it for 3 more days I

[03:15] reached 98.44, which is about 32.81 since they told me that of this amount of money, $65 had to be generated

[03:27] by watching videos, and I had generated a lot of this money thanks to the referral system, which is so easy to do. So, this is something they never warned you about; they simply tell you when it's time to

[03:39] analyzing it a bit, I have to say that reaching $65 is practically impossible, but I would dare to say it's impossible, mainly because every day all the videos, the amount of money you get paid for the videos gets smaller and smaller.

[03:55] Therefore, reaching $65 by watching videos is impossible and is designed to make it increasingly difficult, so you'll despite being promoted in a video with over half a million

[04:10] views, is an app that doesn't work. I will now explain the second application I tested. This second application is called Chu Capcha. It's an app that pays you for completing captchas. Captchats are what we

[04:22] we register on a website or log in . The purpose is to identify that you are not a robot , and this website pays you for completing these captchats. There are companies that will pay this

[04:34] captchats, and this page pays people like posio in this case to fill in these captchats. This is an app that is not only mentioned in one video, but in a

[04:46] would venture to say, that is the app that is repeated the most in the most videos, and in the example, they tell us that we can earn $50 in 30 minutes, $50 in 20 official website it tells us that we can earn from 20 to 80 cents per

[05:02] hour. From 20 to 80 cents an hour is very little money, but still, well, I wanted to try it. If we think about the highest range, which would be these 80 C per hour, and let's say that we are for 24 hours, that we don't sleep for a whole day,

[05:14] we are using the application for 24 hours, we would be gaining 19,20. So I got down to business, registered, created an account, the process is very simple, they make you choose which languages ​​you speak, because the more

[05:26] able to see. So, in my case, I put Spanish, French, and English. And then once I did that, I had to go through a short training where they Pretty simple. Once I completed the training, I did my first captcha and

[05:40] the training, I did my first captcha and earned no more and no less than 0.00026. is that making them is quite easy. I did 61 and managed to earn 0.0898,

[05:53] basically almost 2 cents of a dollar. Before continuing with the captchas, I withdrawals, since I had already had a bad experience and I saw that withdrawals different ways and that the minimum withdrawal is 50 cents of a dollar, therefore,

[06:07] quite low for an application of this style. And so, I got to than 1732 captchas to get to these 50 amount, I went to the withdrawal area and was indeed able to make the withdrawal

[06:23] perfectly. I did it using [unclear - possibly "but I couldn't do it"]. It arrived almost instantly and there were no problems. To complete this number of captchas, those 1732 captchas, it took me 5 hours, therefore, we are talking about

[06:36] earning 10 cents per hour, which is much lower than what is lower than what is promised on the website itself. So in conclusion, I would say that this application works because it does work

[06:49] , but the results are not what was expected or promised. Next up is called Switcoin, and that's an application that pays you for nothing more than walking. This app is really, really popular and has a

[07:03] which has no less than 13 million views and 834,000 likes. It's crazy. The application's operation every 1000 steps you take, this app records them

[07:17] measures your steps. For every 1000 steps you take, you get a suite coin, and then you . They cannot be exchanged directly for cash, but you Amazon gift card, which you can then exchange for

[07:32] directly to your bank, but you can exchange it for a card that you can then use to buy things. In addition to being able to earn money by walking, the app allows you to watch three ads every day, and

[07:44] for watching each of those ads you enter a kind of raffle/lottery and they will give you from 0 to 1000 sweet coins for each of the ads you watch. Then I looked at the three ads and they gave me 2.8 suite coins. To be

[07:57] honest, I didn't have much luck, but hey, everything is welcome. Looking at the amount of suite coins needed to get these interesting, at least to me, is a $25 Amazon gift card that

[08:10] costs 1250 Scoins. So, once I saw what my goal was, I started this application. I walked for a little over an hour, took for a little over an hour, took 9,025 steps and managed to earn 11.43

[08:25] had also earned from watching the ads. So, if we start from the premise that 1,250 suitecoins are $25, then in that hour of walking I earned

[08:37] 23 cents of a dollar. Based on this experience, the truth is that it seems relatively interesting to me, since, well, it's just a few cents for walking, which is something you're going to do whether you get paid or not. But the

[08:49] problem with this app, and it's something that happens with many terms and conditions at any time, and that's exactly what has happened. As of I'm recording this, this app has changed the terms and conditions, and now you ca

[09:02] n't directly redeem the sets for these cards; you can only redeem them for something like a ticket to participate in a raffle. These days, they have raffles for things like an

[09:14] with your suite coins, the only thing you can do is exchange that suite coin for a ticket to participate in that draw. You can no longer exchange it directly for The only way you can redeem your sets for cash or

[09:29] guaranteed items, so to speak, is by using their premium plan which costs €29.99 per year and gives you access to certain benefits. One of them is that they're going to go faster, you're going to get more swits, but despite

[09:43] paying for the premium plan, if you want to exchange your suite coins for something that gift card, you're going to have to enter an auction system. What they do is they're going "Okay, now we have a $75 Amazon gift card." And everyone who

[09:57] bid and they're going to say, "Hey, well I'll give 1000 suite coins." Another one will say, "I give 2,000. I give [music] 3,000." And the three people with the highest bids will win that prize. And to give you an idea, in the last

[10:09] auction, which was for a $75 card, the person who won it paid 23,900 suite coins for this card, which is much, much was 1,250 suite coins for a

[10:22] $25 card. Therefore, my opinion regarding this application is that it is not worthwhile to make money, mainly because the conditions change and you ca "Hey, in a month I'll be able to withdraw this amount of money because

[10:35] conditions and you won't be able to anymore." The last app I tried was Fiber. This has no less than over a million views and over 100,000 you will know, since it's an application used to sell all kinds of

[10:49] service like creating a website for you or any other type of digital service. What they use Fiver to sell our services as a voice actor, that they are going to send us a text and we are going to have to read that text and that they are going to pay us for

[11:04] need to have a good voice or anything, since they're looking for normal voices. The an account. We did it in the most professional way possible. We listed the languages ​​I speak, a photo, a description, and then created an ad, since Fiber

[11:19] ad with what you know how to do, and people come to your ad and hire you. To create the ad, I put everything in English in order to audience with greater purchasing power. I included an image and

[11:32] audio examples. What I did was record myself reading several types of audio: an advertisement-style audio, and a slightly calmer audio so that people could hear what person who is going to hire me knows what my voice is like and how

[11:45] compete in the best possible way. Because in the end, being a marketplace, offer this type of voice-over service. What I did was improve on what the competition had in two ways. Number one, the most economical price. My

[11:59] ad was cheaper than the competition's and my delivery was also faster. The competitors' delivery, so to speak, took about 5 days, and I offered delivery in just one day, so it was faster and

[12:11] ultimately, when we use a platform like this, we will be charged fees. In the case of Fiver, it's 80% for me and 20% for them. I posted the ad and left it for 24 hours and unfortunately absolutely

[12:25] no one contacted me, but I didn't give up and decided to look for a solution. Fiver is certainly very interesting, but the thing is, you're going to post an ad and of competition, so when you're new it's difficult for people to

[12:39] know about you. So I ruled out Fiver and created an account on Workana. Workana, On Fer, people will search for services, hire it, while on Workam, companies will post what they

[12:53] need. Hey, I need a radio announcer and several people are going to apply for that job. Then the company will choose from all the people who have more interesting strategy and that's exactly what I did. I searched

[13:05] the word announcer in the Workcana search bar and applied to practically every job offer there was. So, out of all these orders that were out there, there was one when they trusted me and hired me, so to speak, what happens is that they're going to

[13:19] send that hiring money to Warcana, and Warcana is going to block that deliver the work so that neither I nor they get scammed, and Workana is there as an intermediary. Regarding the commissions, it works the

[13:32] same as Fiber, 80% for me, 20% for Borcana, and therefore of these $24 my share is $19.20. So what I did was he sent me the scripts, I read everything I had to read, I cut it up as best I could and

[13:46] sent it back to him and he said he liked it, so everything was perfect. He approved the work done and Workana sent me these 19,20. It took me about 2 hours to do the whole process, from reading the scripts and then

[14:00] was 2 hours, so we were talking about 9.6 four applications that I have tried. What we need to understand about these money-making apps is that when a

[14:15] two things usually happen. The first thing [about music] is that we are going to earn less money than they higher amount of money than we are actually going to earn. And the second thing is that it's going to be more complicated than it seems. They're going to sell it to us very easily, but in the

[14:29] complicated if we really want to make money. And this really makes perfect do something that is really basic and that anyone can do, what this people will do it, there will be a lot of competition and therefore less and

[14:43] less will be paid for doing that action. The more complicated what we're doing is, the less competition there will be, and therefore the more money we'll get apps that I've tested are apps for which I have a

[14:56] full video on the channel in which I explain the whole process in more detail for anyone interested in knowing exactly the experience just want to say that for those of you who are truly interested in starting an

[15:10] online business, understand that it's more complex than simply using an these types of applications throughout our lives, we're going to have to invest a lot of time and in the end we're not building anything. And in my opinion, it makes much more sense to

[15:23] project that is focused on the long term and that allows us to, well, generate more money and also be building something that is really ours and not working for apps all this

[15:37] We recently published a complete course on Shopify in which we teach how to create an online store and generate sales through it. It is a course that is has nothing to do with an application that pays us to do something simple.

[15:51] nothing to do with what we have achieved in this video. The results are considerably higher, but the level of work is also considerably higher. I'll completely free course [music] and if you're interested I encourage you all to

[16:03] the video. If you found this interesting, don't hesitate to leave a like. The goal this, investing my time so you don't have to do it yourself, and so you can see the final result in a single video without having to dedicate as many hours

[16:16] as I have. And that's it, I'm Dorian Sence and I'll see you in the next video. Sence and I'll see you in the next video. Co?
