Can you really make money watching YouTube videos and ads in your spare time?

This viral side hustle claims you can earn $1.20 to $3.99 per minute watching YouTube videos for cash. And in this episode of Scam or Legit, I put two different videos to the test to find out!

The first video I tested is from a channel called CashPro. And in this video, he claims you can make $1.20 per YouTube video and ad you watch by using a platform called Swash.

Swash is an interesting data collection extension that pays you for surfing the web and looking at ads, including YouTube ads. But after testing it out for 4 days, it only paid me $0.11 worth of tokens. And it then deleted my earnings for some reason…

Swash has other ways to earn, like playing games or answering surveys. But as a passive application that pays you to watch YouTube videos, I don't think it's worth using. And CashPro's video saying you can make $1.20 per video you watch isn't true.

As for the second video from Daniel Hustles, it's also misleading. He covers a gpt website called JumpTask. I think JumpTask is actually quite cool, and it has some unique ways to earn, including watching YouTube videos or clicking on ads. But you won't earn $3.99 per video, or even close to that amount. Instead, you'll earn a couple of pennies.

JumpTask is still a pretty neat reward website with tons of fun ways to earn. So I suggest checking it out if you like these kind of get-paid-to sites.

However, ultimately, I don't think watching YouTube videos for money is a very effective side hustle. If anything, you're better off watching educational YouTube videos that teach you how to start a new side hustle or develop some high-paying skill you can use to earn.

That's all for this episode of Scam or Legit! 😊 Again, I'm sorry this one is a bit of a flop, but that's how this series goes sometimes!

Thank you all for the support and for watching 💖
