Update 2/22/2012: Jingit requires a facebook account to use their service. As I do not currently have a facebook account, I am unable to keep up with Jingit. The last time I visited my account with them they had stopped providing videos due to a lack of sponsors and other issues, so I “cashed out” via their music store and haven’t gone back.

I’m not saying “don’t use them” as they may well improve again. I’m saying that I can’t guarantee you that you will make money through their site, and I have no way of checking to see what’s going on.

You can read this post for other ways to make money online.

What if you could get paid to watch short commercials (advertisements)?

If you think about it, you’re already paying your cable company (or Hulu) to make you watch commercials. You watch ads on YouTube and just about everything else now, and you get nothing for it. Now you can get paid for your time.

The company making this possible is called Jingit.

From Jingit‘s website: “Jingit™ is the action of giving your time and attention in exchange for real money… not “virtual currency” or “points”.”

Like some other posts I’ve made tonight, this one is available via your mobile phone. It is available for both Android and iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, etc), and it is also available on your computer.

They are a new site, so right now you have two main payment options: You can spend your money in their music store, called musicme. Alternatively, they also offer a prepaid Visa card through a partnership with U.S. Bank, and you can cash out directly to this card.

Their login system also uses Facebook, which keeps things simple. You know you wouldn’t remember your password anyway.
