Summary

The presenter reviews 11 online work options that may fit around evenings or weekends. The central message is to treat them as supplemental income, not guaranteed or passive earnings. Pay, availability, and eligibility vary, and some options require specific skills, credentials, or access to projects.

The 11 opportunities

  1. Pawns — surveys and games

    • Earn by completing surveys and playing games. Payouts are described as available by bank transfer or cryptocurrency.
    • The presenter cites the company’s reported $4.8 million paid to users in 2024 and more than $400,000 the prior month. He also cites an average of $12 per day and a site calculator estimating about $400 per month for three surveys and three games daily.
    • These are company-reported figures and examples, not guaranteed results.
    • Presenter rating: 7/10
  2. Reclaim — selling personal data

    • Install the mobile app and choose whether to share data with participating companies in exchange for payment.
    • Presented as a low-effort, occasional bonus rather than a full-time job. Users should weigh privacy risks and research the service before opting in.
    • The presenter cites 100,000+ Google Play downloads.
    • Presenter rating: 6/10
  3. LiveWorld — social media agent

    • Respond to customer messages and engage with users on companies’ social channels. The role is described as chat-based, with no calls or sales.
    • Offers part-time, self-scheduled shifts, but may require evenings, nights, weekends, or holidays. Reviews reportedly praise flexibility and colleagues while noting modest pay and repetitive work.
    • The presenter cites a 3.8 Glassdoor rating and says most reviewers would recommend the employer.
    • Presenter rating: 7/10
  4. Course Hero — online tutoring

    • Tutors answer student questions on the platform and can select which questions to take. Compensation depends on the price attached to each question.
    • Students, recent graduates, and working professionals may qualify; a teaching certificate is not required, according to the presenter.
    • The presenter cites 20 million+ students, a 4.2 Glassdoor score from 1,700 reviews, and 82% of reviewers recommending the company. Top tutors may earn around $1,500 per month, but that is not typical or guaranteed.
    • Presenter rating: 7/10
  5. Data annotation — training AI

    • Review AI outputs and provide feedback to help improve models. Workers can choose when and how much to work, as well as which projects to take, although available work may fluctuate.
    • The presenter cites pay starting at $20 per hour, with the company reportedly paying tens of millions to members. Reviews value the pay and flexibility but mention boredom and isolation.
    • Presenter rating: 8/10
  6. Pearson — test scoring

    • Grade student tests, essays, or other written responses remotely. The work is described as repetitive, with limited interaction or teaching.
    • Pay starts at $15 per hour. The presenter says applicants need a degree and must be available for at least 20 hours per week.
    • Pearson reportedly scored 20 million+ tests and made over $600 million in profit in the year discussed.
    • Presenter rating: 8/10
  7. VIPKid — English tutoring

    • Teach English using pre-made lessons, so tutors do not need to develop lesson plans. Tutors set their schedules and can choose their hours.
    • The presenter cites pay of $14–$22 per hour and weekly payments via bank account or PayPal. The video does not specify all eligibility requirements.
    • Presenter rating: 7/10
  8. PromptBase — selling AI prompts

    • Create and sell prompts for AI tools. The commercial value comes from prompts that reliably help buyers get useful results or save time on trial and error.
    • Prompts reportedly sell for around $3–$10 each. Some sellers have sold hundreds or thousands, but the presenter emphasizes these are not typical outcomes. Earnings depend on usefulness, demand, skill, and luck.
    • Presenter rating: 4/10
  9. Wynter — paid research and feedback

    • Participate in research studies or interviews and provide feedback to companies. The presenter says users create a profile with LinkedIn, then are notified if a suitable study is available and can decide whether to participate.
    • Wynter reportedly pays $15–$50 per study, typically taking 5–15 minutes. A cited interview paid $75–$600, but the presenter says the high end was for seeking senior business leaders and is not a normal expectation.
    • Payment is described as arriving within five days.
    • Presenter rating: 7/10
  10. AdaptHealth — intake specialist - Handle administrative steps for medical-equipment orders: check that information is complete, verify insurance details, and move requests through the process. The role is not described as clinical work or sales. - Requirements cited: a high school diploma, computer, and headset or microphone. The presenter says the company hires for part-time, weekday, and weekend roles; one example shift runs 8 a.m.–7 p.m. on weekends. - Full-time compensation is cited at $36,000–$48,000 per year. - Presenter rating: 9/10

  11. Talkroom — paid conversations - An app where users can set a rate for conversations. Potential value may come from a useful perspective, niche interest, advice, feedback, or simply listening—not necessarily formal coaching or expertise. - The presenter cites 100,000+ downloads, but stresses that people may not pay and earnings are uncertain. - Presenter rating: 7/10

Practical takeaways

  • Evaluate each option before investing time: Check the actual requirements, current openings, schedule expectations, payment terms, and worker reviews.
  • Match the work to your strengths and constraints: Tutoring and prompt creation rely on subject knowledge or skill; administrative roles require reliability and process handling; surveys and research are more supplemental.
  • Treat advertised earnings as claims, not forecasts. Top-earner examples and unusually high study payouts should not be assumed to represent typical outcomes.
  • Consider non-cash tradeoffs: Data privacy, repetitive tasks, isolation, weekend shifts, and inconsistent project availability.
  • The video presents these primarily as ways to add income, not as dependable replacements for a full-time salary.
