I’ve been trying to figure out how to make some extra cash online for a while now. You know, something easy I could do while chilling at home. I heard from a friend that you could get paid to watch Netflix, and I thought, “That sounds too good to be true!” But, I’m always up for trying new things, so I decided to give it a shot.

First, I did some digging around on the internet. Turns out, Netflix itself doesn’t pay you just for watching shows. They’re a subscription service, so they make money when people sign up, not when they binge-watch. I felt a little bummed out, but I wasn’t ready to give up just yet. I started looking into other ways that might be related to Netflix and could bring in some dough.

One thing I stumbled upon was this idea of becoming a “Netflix Tagger.” It’s a real job where you watch shows and movies and tag them with keywords. This helps Netflix recommend stuff to people. It sounded pretty cool, but I wasn’t sure how to get that gig. And I didn’t see that kind of job being offered, but I can imagine it would take some time before it was available.

So, I went back to searching. Then it got me thinking about passive income. I found some sites that suggested doing surveys or other small tasks while watching Netflix. I found that InboxDollars was one of them. One of the ideas was to have Inbox Dollars open on your computer while you’re watching your favorite shows. I tried it for a few days, but honestly, it was kind of distracting. And the money wasn’t that great for the time I was putting in. It’s a grind, to be honest.

I kept on searching and found some articles talking about affiliate marketing. I also learned that Netflix doesn’t have an affiliate program. There was some talk about other side hustles and even full-time jobs related to Netflix, like working in customer service or marketing. But I wasn’t really looking for a full-time commitment. I just wanted something simple and easy I could do in my spare time. I spent a few more days trying a bunch of different things, but nothing really worked out.

Here’s what I learned from my little experiment:

  • Netflix doesn’t pay you directly to watch their content.
  • There are some related jobs, like being a tagger, but they’re not easy to get.
  • You can try multitasking with other online tasks, but it’s not very efficient.
  • There might be other ways to make money in the entertainment industry, but they require more effort.

In the end, I realized that getting paid to watch Netflix is mostly a myth. It’s not as easy as it sounds. But it was still a fun little adventure, and I learned a few things along the way. I’m still on the lookout for ways to make some extra cash online, but I’m not holding my breath for the Netflix dream job anymore. If any of you have found other cool ways to earn money online, let me know! I’m always open to new ideas.
