“I make an extra £200 a month just by watching Netflix – how you can too”
Posted February 20, 2023 by: Admin
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many people to search for new ways to supplement their income. One such way is by taking up a “side hustle.” Among the most coveted side hustles in recent times is the role of a “Netflix Tagger.” This is a job that requires one to watch TV shows and movies on Netflix and tag them with genre and other descriptors to make them easily searchable on the platform.
Many have turned to social media platforms such as Twitter and TikTok to learn how to land this “dream job.” Rachel, a 28-year-old digital marketer from Leeds, is one such person who discovered this job on TikTok six months ago. She claims to have made around £200 per month as a Netflix Tagger.
However, Rachel says that there is more to the job than what is shared on social media. To get the job, one has to wait for vacancies to be advertised on the Netflix website. Rachel applied for the role when she saw a vacancy and was selected after completing a video interview, writing tasks, and trial runs. She says that the majority of her work involves writing synopses of upcoming TV shows and movies that will be released.
Rachel acknowledges that the job is not for everyone. One needs to be a good writer who can write succinctly. She also notes that it is highly competitive and not a long-term plan. Sometimes, there is not much work to do. Therefore, she plans to pick up more freelance work in the future.
Those interested in taking up a side hustle like Netflix Tagging should also keep in mind that there may be tax implications if they earn a lot of money outside their jobs. The trading allowance requires reporting any additional income above £1,000.
