If you are looking for ways to make money online, you have maybe come across Midjobs.com which seems like an easy way to earn.
But is Midjobs a scam or really a legit platform to make money?
I have joined to test it myself and let me just reveal right away that there are some things that seriously concern me about it.
This Midjobs review will give you all the details and show all the things I have come across during my research and testing so you will know what to expect.
And you definitely need to consider these things before paying to join – at least then you will know the potential risks vs benefits and can make an informed decision based on this.
Midjobs at a Glance
Summary
Overall, Midjobs seems like an easy way to make money online at first. But when you dig deeper, it has a lot of red flags you need to consider before investing.
They have not provided any proof that anyone has actually made a profit, the earnings they display on the website do not make sense, the advertisers they claim they have are not to be seen, there is no proof they have existed since 2015 as they say, and it is just overall not a sustainable business model.
On top of that, Midjobs can close your account at any time for any reason according to their terms.
In my opinion, it will simply be too risky to invest in a membership on Midjobs.
If you want to make money online, you should invest in creating a business you are in charge of yourself and where it cannot just be closed down from one day to the next.
What is Midjobs.com and what does it offer?
Midjobs.com is supposedly a platform where you can earn by watching videos and sponsored content.
The concept is quite simple – you just join and then you get access to a list of videos you can watch.
Just by watching 30 seconds of a video, you will earn between $0.15 – $0.60 depending on the membership you have (more about this later).
The videos are mostly trailers for big movies and other popular clips.
At first, it definitely seems like easy money. But before getting too excited, make sure to read the rest of this review as there are some things you are not told at first.
In addition to supposedly earning by just watching these videos, you can also earn by inviting other people to join.
You will get $0.05 per video any person you have invited watches (but only if they have a paid account).
This could potentially give quite a good income and this is also the reason you will see many people trying to recruit you online and also trying to convince you to upgrade.
However, what many of these fail to understand is that they might risk wasting both their own and your time and money.
To understand why it might be risky we need to look into the details you might not spot if you are new to making money online.
We will go into these red flags a little later but let’s first go over the pricing of Midjobs as this is definitely also important to consider.
Midjobs pricing
When it comes to Midjobs memberships, you have several options.
You can join as a free starter member and have this membership for 10 days. Then you have to upgrade to one of the paid memberships to continue.
How much you can earn per day will depend on the membership you invest in.
As you can see in the image above, it can become quite expensive. It will cost you between $45 – $1,956 per year.
With the most expensive membership, you can supposedly earn an average of $2,754 per month. If that is the case, the investment, of course, seems small.
However, before investing there are some things you really need to consider.
First of all, you need to be aware that the free membership is useless. It is only valid for 10 days and you only get 6 videos per day which means you can earn a maximum of $9 for those 10 days.
The minimum payout threshold is $20 – so you will not be able to really earn anything with the free membership.
In my opinion, it seems mostly just like a way to show you how easy it supposedly is to make money as a member of Midjobs to get you to upgrade.
Nothing wrong with investing in a good business opportunity – but you just need to make sure it really is worth the money.
I have big doubts about this when it comes to Midjobs. And let me now go over why that is.

Red flags revealed
I have already mentioned several times that I have big concerns when it comes to Midjobs as a sustainable way of making money.
This is based on my experiences as a full-time online marketer – I have tested hundreds of ways to make money online and have learned to spot when to be careful.
Below I will present my findings and then you can take this into consideration and make your own decision about what is best for you.
Red flag #1 – They can cancel your account at any time
When you look into the terms of Midjobs, there is something you definitely need to be aware of.
Midjobs has the right to cancel your account at any time and for any reason according to their terms.
If they decide to cancel your account, you will lose all your earnings and the membership fee you have paid.
It is, of course, very normal for any platform to have certain rules in place to avoid fraud. But when you look at how Midjobs in general works, it becomes very risky to invest in a membership with these terms.
Because at any time they are entitled to terminate your account without any explanation – that is in their terms and it means you cannot do anything about it if they decide to close your account and take your earnings.
And this brings me to the next red flag.
Red flag #2 – You rely on the platform
Let’s say Midjobs does not close your account for a while but you start earning a bit.
This can, of course, seem nice at first. But one thing you have to consider is that this will not be a long-term way of creating financial freedom.
At any time you can lose all your earnings and income without any warning when you rely solely on a platform like this.
You might spend a lot of money on upgrading and spend a lot of time recruiting more members to earn more.
But you will NOT be in charge of your own business and be completely reliant on Midjobs.
This makes it risky in the long run compared to if you invest in starting your own online business. Your income should never rely solely on a different platform and risk getting closed at any time for any reason they find fit.
And as you will see later in this review, it will likely be especially risky on a platform like Midjobs.
Red flag #3 – No proof it has been around since 2015
Midjobs claims it has been around since 2015.
The problem is just that there is no proof I have been able to find that actually confirms this.
Just think about it – it says it has been around since 2015 but it is not until 2020 that the first reviews and promotions of it started online.
Does that not seem strange to you? A site that supposedly has paid millions to its members did not have one single review or mention online until 2020.
That definitely does not seem right, does it?
This is just yet another red flag to consider.
Red flag #4 – No payment proof
It seems very easy to earn when you first join Midjobs.com. You just watch a video and then you see your earnings increase in your Midjobs account.
However, what they show in your Midjobs account does not really matter. What matters if you are able to get your earnings out.
And Midjobs does not show any payment proof and I have not been able to find any reliable payment proof anywhere else either.
All you can see on the website is a number of how much they have supposedly paid their members.
As you can see in the image above, they claim they have paid out $13131286.54 at the time of writing this review.
That’s a lot of money. It definitely should be possible to find a lot of payout proof if they really have paid out this much, right?
The funny thing is also that no matter the currency you choose, the amount they claim to have paid out is more or less the same.
In the image, you can see what they claim to have paid out in Indian Rupees. The number is basically the same as in dollars but only a bit higher because it is taken a bit later.
But there is a huge difference whether they have paid this amount out in dollars or in India Rupees. This shows it is just a number they have there that keeps increasing but you can not count on it.
However, I want to mention that I had a comment from someone on my website saying that he had received a payment from Midjobs.
So I am not saying you will not get paid at all. But it does not really matter if you will get a bit of money out. What matters is if you are ever able to make a profit.
Because it will not be a problem to pay out an amount to you if you have paid for a more expensive membership.
So if you see payment proof anywhere from anyone trying to convince you to upgrade, remember that the payment proof alone does not show it is a way to make money.
What you need to see is the proof that someone will actually be able to make a profit before having their account closed – and I have not seen any proof like this yet.
Red flag #5 – There are no advertisers
Midjobs claims you can make money because they have advertisers that pay them to send traffic to, for example, the videos you can get paid to watch.
However, when clicking around inside the platform, there are no advertisers displayed.
All you can see are the videos – but these videos are just embedded from big channels on YouTube.
So do you really think big YouTube channels with millions of subscribers would be willing to pay Midjobs to send traffic? They would need to pay them at least $1 per view for it to be profitable for Midjobs since they pay up to $0.60 per view to its members.
And I can tell you that no one would be willing to pay that much for a 30 seconds view. Secondly, these big channels do not need that as they have millions of followers.
Thirdly, it goes against the terms of YouTube to buy views like this and the big brands would never risk getting their channel banned.
So the whole business model Midjobs claims to have does not make sense.
Instead, it seems the business model is to get you to pay for an expensive membership with the promise of making easy money.
But as you can see, there is no proof that they are making money any other way which makes it very risky for you.
Because if the only way for them to make money is for people to buy the memberships, it does not seem likely that you will be able to keep taking money out, does it?
And this brings me to the last important point you need to consider.
Red flag #6 – It is similar to Workmines
Midjobs offers more or less the exact same concept as Workmines.
You can see my previous review of that platform through the link above. I warned against it as it had more or less the same red flags as Midjobs and suddenly it closed down overnight without any warning.
I have received comments from a lot of people that lost a lot of money as a member of Workmines.
After Workmines had been closed for a while, suddenly Midjobs pops up (even though it supposedly has existed since 2015).
And it offers more or less that exact same business model. I cannot say if it is the same people behind as I have no way to verify that.
But I can say the business model looks to be the exact same one.
And as a member this is very risky for you because when you think about it and put all the things together I have explained above, you can see that it will never be a long-term way for you to make money.
It is just not a sustainable business model which means you should also not expect to make a profit.
Final verdict
I think it is pretty clear from this Midjobs review that I am not a big fan of the platform and what it has to offer.
But let’s finish by summing up the pros and cons so you can get a full overview before making your own decision about joining or not.
Pros:
- None
Cons:
- There is no proof anyone has made a profit
- There are no advertisers on the site (which means the only way for them to make money is from members)
- You cannot get paid as a free member
- Expensive membership
- The business model is not sustainable
- They can close your account at any time for any reason
Overall, the only good thing I can say about Midjobs after testing it is that you can join for free. But that is not really even a good thing as the free membership is useless.
I do not see any reason to join Midjobs at all, to be honest.
They have not provided any proof that anyone has actually made money, the earnings they display on the website do not make sense, the advertisers they claim they have are not to be seen, there is no proof they have existed since 2015 as they say, and it is just overall not a sustainable business model.
In my opinion, it will simply be too risky to invest in a membership on Midjobs.
If you want to make money online, you should invest in creating a business you are in charge of yourself and where it cannot just be closed down from one day to the next.
How I make money online
Making money online can give a lot of freedom and it definitely is possible to learn and there are plenty of legit and good opportunities out there no matter your background.
I spend a lot of time and tried different online opportunities myself and eventually found the one that worked for me.
Now, I have been able to create a full-time online income that allows me to work completely on my own terms.
It takes some effort but it is totally worth it.

If you have any questions, comments, or have any experience with Midjobs yourself, I would love to hear from you in a comment below.
Hey Mikael, I am reading so many good reviews about this site but since I heard about this online business I felt doubt right away. This thing just started few months back in the Philippines, it is working very well as I can see on comments and reviews. Even my friends are into it already.
How long do you think it will last?
How long workmines last?
People are hyping it because they only really earn by inviting others. And they do not think clearly – they just see earnings go into their account but do not think about it long-term.
As mentioned, no-one has been able to prove they have actually made a profit. They just get overexcited because they earn a bit and then invest a lot – but the terms clearly say that they can close your account at any time for any reason. People do not think about that.
They just start promoting and hyping it before actually having made a profit. How long it will last is impossible to say but as I explain above the whole business model does not make sense. Anyone promoting it has not looked properly into it but is just getting carried away by the thought of easy money. But I think a lot of people will end up losing money instead – so even if it lasts a while, you should, in my opinion, stay away from it.
You will likely never make a profit and they can just close your account as soon as you have upgraded to one of the expensive accounts.
