Have you ever sat scrolling through videos on your phone and thought, “What if this could make me money?” Well, in 2025, it actually can. A new wave of apps is giving young people a chance to earn extra cash simply by watching short clips, trailers, reels, or even ads. What sounds like just another lazy pastime is slowly turning into a side hustle for students around the world.
these platforms promise small but real payouts, and they have quickly gained popularity. Some send money straight to your bank account or PayPal, others offer Paytm balances or gift cards. The catch is simple. The more videos you watch, the more points or coins you earn, and these can be cashed out once you hit the minimum balance.
