Here are five legitimate ways to get paid to watch Netflix, as seen in FinanceBuzz and beyond.
Netflix Tagger
From gentle British reality TV to twisted Christmas, you’ve probably noticed specific category tags the last time you logged onto Netflix. The list, which goes back to the earliest days of the company, currently tops 36,000.
There are paid people, aka analysts or strategists, whose role is to watch Netflix content and assign tags that help the algorithm make effective suggestions. The average monthly gross salary for Netflix taggers is $5,000 – $9,000 per month, according to Glassdoor.

Freecash App
This rewards platform, which lets you earn up to $225 per offer by completing simple tasks, garners overall high praise. Whether you’re taking surveys, playing games, or doing something else, the app enables you to get paid for multitasking while watching Netflix.
Viewer Research Panels
Share your watching data with research platforms like Nielsen, TVision, or other research apps, and earn passive earnings. Install their apps or devices to earn rewards.
The Nielsen panel consists of more than 42,000 homes and 100,000 people across the U.S.
Paid Focus Groups or Surveys
Share feedback about your viewing habits via paid focus groups or surveys, and possibly make a direct impact on the course of a film or TV show. While there are an array of focus group and survey options online, Netflix has its own official, private research panel, Netflix Preview Club. Each screening involves a 10- to 20-minute survey.
Social Media Reviews
While the payoff likely won’t happen immediately, monetizing content around Netflix shows can earn you some serious cash through ads and sponsorships, tips, subscriptions, or platform donations. Pay attention to your engagement rate and followers. The larger you grow your following, the greater your earning potential.
