Get Paid to Watch Videos? 5 Legit Sites Working in Tanzania [2025]

Status: Verified ✅

Region: Tanzania (Global)

Payment Methods: Crypto (to M-Pesa), PayPal, Airtime.


🚨 The “Small Money” Warning

Let’s be real, Boss. You will not become a millionaire watching videos.

These sites are for “Pesa ya Vocha” (Airtime money) or small hustle cash.

  • Don’t Expect: $100/day.
  • Expect: $2 – $5/day if you grind hard.

If you are okay with that, here are the 5 Legit Sites.


1. SproutGigs (The Best Overall) 🏆

Formerly known as Picoworkers, this is the most popular micro-task site in Tanzania.

  • How to Earn: Go to the “Micro Jobs” tab. Filter by “Video Marketing.”
  • The Job: You will be asked to “Watch a YouTube video for 3 minutes + Like.”
  • The Pay: Approx $0.04 – $0.05 (TZS 130) per video.
  • The M-Pesa Hack: Withdraw your earnings in Litecoin (LTC) to your Binance wallet. Then sell the Litecoin on Binance P2P for instant M-Pesa/Tigo Pesa.

2. Paidwork (The Best Mobile App) 📱

This is a very clean app that actually works in Tanzania without a VPN.

  • How to Earn: Download the app, click “Earn,” and select “Watch Videos.”
  • The Job: You watch 30-second ads (game trailers, app promos).
  • The Pay: You earn points which convert to cash. It is slow but steady.
  • Withdrawal: They pay via PayPal. You will need to use a “PayPal to M-Pesa” agent or Xoom to get the cash.
  • Link: Paidwork (Android/iOS)

3. TimeBucks (The “Engage” Tab) ⏱️

TimeBucks is famous because it has a dedicated “Engage” tab for videos.

  • How to Earn: They pay you to watch specific YouTube videos or “Engage” with content (Subscribe/Comment).
  • Why it’s good for TZ: They have a Daily Ladder Bonus. If you are in the Top 5 earners of the day, you get a $20 bonus.
  • Payment: They pay via Litecoin, Bitcoin, or AirTM. All of these can be converted to Tanzanian Shillings easily.

4. Givvy Videos (The “Lazy” Option) 😴

This is for people who just want something running in the background.

  • How it works: It’s a YouTube player. You watch normal YouTube videos (Music, Comedy) through the Givvy App.
  • The Catch: A “Gift Box” appears every few minutes. You click it to earn coins.
  • Payment: They support Payer, Coinbase, and PayPal. The payout threshold is very low ($0.19), so you can test it quickly.
  • Link: Givvy Videos (PlayStore)

5. Binance “Learn & Earn” (The High Value Hack) 🧠

This is not “watching ads,” but it pays the most money per minute.

  • What is it? Binance wants you to learn about Crypto.
  • The Job: Watch a 1-minute educational video about a new coin (e.g., SUI, RDNT) and take a 3-question quiz.
  • The Pay: They give you $3 – $5 worth of that coin instantly.
  • Why it’s #1: You can earn TZS 10,000 in 5 minutes.
