Can you really get paid to listen to music?

You can, a few cents at a time. Slicethepie pays for written reviews: MoneyPantry puts a 1-star reviewer at about 1 cent, and SideHusl says up to 20 cents.

What a review takes

  1. Listen firstSideHusl says you must listen to at least 90 seconds of a song.
  2. WriteIt says each review must be at least 60 words.
  3. Keep your rating upMoneyMagpie says your pay depends on your star rating.

SideHusl’s sum: 20 reviews in an hour would earn about $1 to $4, which it says is nowhere near minimum wage.

Before you start

  • Some listeners told SideHusl their accounts were disabled just before they could cash out.
  • Slicethepie’s own pages show no rate, so these figures come from reviews of the site.
