Beezag.com: Review and Summary

Many sites have begun rolling out paid-to-view-video projects that, as the name would allude to, pay you for watching a certain product's commercial. Beezag, while definitely not the newest entries, has remained one of the largest sites, and, after being out for many years, remains a great site to earn from viewing videos and making money online.

The concept of Beezag is simple; videos are tailored based on your interests, meaning advertisers pay more, and you earn more. You can start by watching a few videos, go and fill out a larger portion of your personal summary, and be able to watch a few more videos. If you have the time (~15minutes) to do so the day you sign up, you should have been able to answer the entire survey, and watched an equivalent of about a $1.00 worth of videos.

From here, expect to earn around $0.50/day from a few minutes of videos and maintaining your account. The amount you earn from watching videos ranges from 20-100 points, which converts to anywhere from $0.02-$0.10 (100points = $1.00). With videos of the standard commercial length, you'll be working for about $6/hour - not bad for mindless work. However, some videos do not pay via points, but instead will only give an entry for a related sweepstakes - offers I wouldn’t recommend.

Instead of using a normal CAPTCHA service (which can be exploited fairly cheaply, a task that I will discuss in a later post), Beezag uses their own form of "human-detection"; and frankly, it's actually a bit difficult and interactive. Two numbers in white and floating across a black background are shown at random times during the video. Following the video, you'll have to correctly enter the two numbers, or have to re-watch the video with new numbers to look out for. Don’t respond quickly enough, and you’ll still have to re-watch it.

Any way to bot this process? For the time being, it seems a bit unlikely.It would take quite a while to exploit it with accuracy. Nonetheless, discussion has been going on about doing so, though nothing has yet come out.

So, all-in-all, is Beezag worth your time? I’d say it is. While you will actually have to watch each commercial closely, the pay isn’t half bad. While payout is set at 8000 points (with options for PayPal and Amazon.com giftcards) - fairly standard, if a bit high - the referral program implemented offers another way of earning 10% off of those you refer. Just another way to earn online!
