Get paid to watch films
Want to get paid to watch short films? The Just A Minute Festival is an International Film Festival that you can enjoy from virtually anywhere, at any time. This online festival streams films from 17 countries from the website www.JustAMinute.tv. Since none of the films are more than a minute, this festival is perfect for folks with short attention spans. When you visit the website you can choose to watch films made by kids or adults or both. If, after a few seconds, a particular film isn’t to your liking, push the next button and a new film will play. After watching a film, you will have a chance to vote for the film and give it 1 to 5 stars. Every time you vote on a film, you get a virtual ticket in the Festival’s weekly drawing. The Festival randomly choose one ticket each week and gives that voter a $20 honorarium. The more you vote, the more tickets you’ll have.
