How To Make Money Online By Watching Videos In South Africa

 Avatar

Many people in South Africa are exploring ways to earn money online simply by watching videos on their phones or computers[1]. Although this method generally offers small payouts, you can genuinely supplement your income through reputable apps and platforms.

Popular apps that pay users to watch videos include:

  • Swagbucks: While the dedicated ‘Watch’ video feature is less prominent, you can still earn by completing video-related offers, streaming shows, and engaging in other simple tasks[3]. Swagbucks pays via PayPal or gift cards.
  • InboxPounds: This site pays users for watching videos, taking surveys, and other small activities. Earnings on InboxPounds are modest, but frequent use and combining different tasks increase total rewards[3].
  • JumpTask: JumpTask makes the process simple: sign up, watch videos, complete tasks, and receive cash rewards. The platform supports various payout methods and works globally, making it accessible from South Africa[4].
  • Pawns.app: Available in Africa, Pawns.app allows you to earn while watching content or by doing tasks like bandwidth sharing and surveys. Withdrawals can be made in PayPal, Bitcoin, or gift cards, once you hit the minimum threshold (often $5 or so)[5][6].
  • SagaPoll: This Africa-specific rewards platform allows users to get paid for easy tasks including watching promotional videos and surveys, with payouts available through mobile money services popular in South Africa[6].

To get started, sign up on one or more of these platforms. Most apps require minimal information and are free to join[4][6]. Complete video-watching tasks, accumulate points or cash, and withdraw once you reach the minimum payout.

It’s important to note you are unlikely to earn significant money just from watching videos alone; combining with surveys, app installs, or other micro-tasks will increase your total earnings[3][6]. Payments range from $3 to $30 for various tasks, but most platforms require reaching a minimum before payout[6].

Always use reputable platforms and be wary of scams promising unrealistically high payouts[3][7].
