Here are some websites and apps that pay you to read and watch the news online:
BuzzBreak
With BuzzBreak, you get paid a little extra money to read and watch news on your Android phone.
You only have to earn $0.02 to cash out and you'll be paid via PayPal.
InboxDollars
Another app/website that pays you to watch news videos is InboxDollars.
Here you can earn $0.01-$0.02 per video (including news) that you watch while also getting paid to read emails, play games, do offers, refer others, take surveys, etc.
Most of the other options you have with InboxDollars will pay you more than the videos will too.
For instance, they have some offers that will pay you $150.
PayPal, Visa gift cards, and Amazon gift cards are some of your options for cashing out.
You can use InboxDollars on you PC, Android device, or get the surveys-only version for iOS.
Swagbucks
Another service that is similar to InboxDollars is Swagbucks.
They also pay you to watch news and other types of videos while also having a lot more to choose from than InboxDollars usually does.
Here, you can also get paid for surfing the web, surveys, games, videos, referrals (10% for life), and more.
You can also collect you money in the form of Visa gift cards, Amazon gift cards, PayPal, etc.
You can use the desktop version of Swagbucks or get their free app for your Apple or Android device.
As far as their point system, it is $1 = 100SB.
MobileXpression
MobileXpression is an app that tracks your internet usage and pays you via sweepstakes.
You can earn a $5 Amazon gift card when signing up in U.S. and they also have surveys you can take for extra cash.
When it comes to their sweepstakes, you can win gift cards, iPads, and much more.
Also, you'll have to be at least 18 years old to sign up.
SavvyConnect
With SavvyConnect, you can get paid for data collection, much like you can with MobileXpression.
You can also get paid for referrals of new members.
As far as how much you can make, you can earn up to $5/month or $60/year for each month you have SavvyConnect installed on a device.
SavvyConnect allows users to have the app on a maximum of three devices that include desktop, mobile, and tablet.
So, if you have the maximum of three devices with the app installed, you can earn an extra $180/year.
With referrals, each time they complete a project, you can earn a bonus of anywhere from $5 to $15.\
SavvyConnect also has a browser extension that you can get for Microsoft Edge and maybe even Google Chrome.
Nielsen Mobile
Another data collection app that pays you for internet usage is Nielsen Mobile (yes, the same company that does TV ratings).
With this service, you can earn up to $50/year by having Nielsen set up on a PC or a mobile device.
You can collect your earnings via Visa gift cards.
Microsoft Rewards
And of course, another way you can earn money watching and reading the news online is with browser programs that pay you.
For instance, you can sign up for Microsoft Rewards and get paid for using the Microsoft Edge browser along with the Bing search engine.
With Microsoft Rewards, you have a point system that allows you to earn points every day that you're searching the internet using Microsoft Edge.
These points can later be cashed in towards purchases in the Microsoft Store.
The points convert from 1000 to $1.
