Already, there are so many ways to earn money online while working from home and more opportunities are being discovered daily. One of such new ones is getting paid to read the news idea.
While this might sound odd and unbelievable, there are several websites that present to those interested in making money online the opportunity to earn daily cash by reading news articles from media houses.
For hardworking Nigerians seeking to make additional income, this is a welcome idea.
You are expected to read a number of news articles daily. Each article you read earns you between $2 (N720), $4 (N1,440) and $7 (N2,520), depending on the website.
You could also make more money by earning a certain percentage when you refer other people to the site.
How it works
- Join a ‘get-paid-to-read-the-news’ website
- Register with a Paypal or Payza account
- Read maximum number of 30 to 35 news articles from different media houses provided by the portal
- Get paid the value of your read articles in just 14 days
- Refer family members, friends or acquaintances and earn $35 bonus as well as 15% of the earnings of such people
Based on the website’s rates per article, you can earn as high as $980, $1,960 and $3,430 in just 14 days from just reading news!
However, you must clock a minimum amount of earning in 14 days before qualifying for payment. In other words, you must read enough news stories and earn as much as the minimum amount stipulated or you will not be paid. For some websites, minimum payout can be as high $2,300.
Therefore, you must always meet your quota of stories expected to be read daily.
