Dozens of sites pay for surveys, screen recordings, research studies and small one-off jobs. Some pay on time and some make you chase them. We join them, do the work ourselves and keep a list of the ones worth your evening.
A company wants to know what people make of a product or an ad. You answer, they pay. Most run five to fifteen minutes, and you find out early if you are not the person they are looking for.
5-15 minYou open a site or an app, try to do something on it and talk through what you are doing while the screen records. A session runs about twenty minutes and pays more than a handful of surveys.
screen and voiceUniversities and labs recruit online for short studies. The brief gives you the pay and the expected time before you accept, which makes these the least irritating of the four.
paid per studyStart a free trial, install an app, watch a clip, play a game for a week. Pennies each, but you can do them with a film on in the background.
small and steadyRead the four kinds of work above and start with whichever one you would not mind doing on a Tuesday evening.
It takes a few minutes and asks for the basics. Most sites have something for you the same day.
Every site sets a minimum before you can withdraw. Once you pass it the money goes to PayPal, or you take a gift card instead.
We are a small team in Miami with too many browser profiles. We sign up, run through the tasks and write down the parts nobody advertises: what an hour of surveys really comes to, how long the first payout takes, which countries get turned away at registration. When a site goes quiet on payments we drop it, and we say why.
