Previews can often end up being the best part of going to the movies, and now you can actually get paid to watch them.
It’s sounds like a dream, but if you’re really committed to earning some extra cash on the side, you really can make up to $300 a month watching movie previews.
1. InboxDollars
You can score $5 automatically just by signing up for InboxDollars, but the cash doesn’t stop there. The service pays viewers to watch movie previews, news clips, celebrity videos, and more!
InboxDollars will send you a playlist of videos to watch—and you must view all of them—for money. The site even lets you know how long each playlist is beforehand, so you will always know if you really have enough time to watch them. Each playlist ranges in time from just a few minutes to about a half hour.
If you’re truly dedicated to making money, you can earn about $225 every month by watching these videos on a regular basis.
2. In-Theater Checks
A blogger revealed that they actually got paid to attend one of the Harry Potter movie premieres. It seems impossible that somebody would actually get paid to see a movie that everybody is dying to see as it is, but it happens all the time.
Film studios and movie theaters need to collect as much data as they can about a film’s audience before the movie hits theaters. Which previews should be shown before the movie? What screening time is the most popular? They need all these questions answered before opening day. That’s where you come in! All you have to do is show up, and they’ll pay you $30 to do it.
How to Snag This Gig
If you want to partake in these “in-theater checks,” you’ll first need to apply through one of the world’s largest mystery shopping companies, Certified Field Associates.
While you may feel wary of mystery shopping companies, this particular application is only a few questions, so you certainly won’t lose anything by applying—plus anybody in the U.S. and Canada is eligible. (Never sign up for a company that asks you to pay a fee in the end!)
How much can you make through these in-theater checks? While you won’t earn tons of money doing this, you can expect to make anywhere from $10 to $20 an hour—just to watch movies that haven’t premiered yet!
