Can you really make money by lying down and watching Netflix? These 5 side jobs are not a scam.

Stop thinking that watching dramas is a waste of money. Imagine the feeling of making money while binge-watching—it's completely achievable.

Netflix Tagger is a hidden profession that can earn you $5,000 to $9,000 a month. Your job is to watch shows and tag them to help the algorithm recommend content. Sounds dreamy? This is indeed an officially recognized job by Netflix.

There's an even lazier way: reward apps like Freecash allow you to complete tasks (surveys/minigames) while watching shows, with a maximum earning of $225 per task. It's completely about taking advantage of the platform.

Data types are more passive — Research platforms like Nielsen will pay you directly to share viewing data; just install an app. They have tracked over 42,000 households in the U.S.; data is money.

Netflix also has an official Preview Club research group. After watching the content, you fill out a feedback form that takes 10-20 minutes, which directly influences their production decisions—this kind of highly participatory work usually has more tangible rewards.

The last approach is monetizing social media: setting up a Netflix-related account to earn money through fans and advertisements. There may not be much income in the early stages, but once the fan base grows, it becomes passive income.

Core logic: Netflix is a goldmine; the officials need taggers and researchers, while the platform requires user data and content feedback—your time and data are valuable. The problem is, you need to find the right entry point.
