These Websites Pay To Chat To Lonely People
Okay I know you might be wondering, “how is that possible? “
Yeah it is possible, people are lonely out there they are looking for friendly individuals like you and me to make them feel a little better.
I’d understand if you’re a little bit skeptical, but you really can get paid to talk to lonely people and without compromising your safety.
Many Americans want someone to vent to, flirt with, or commiserate over day-to-day life, and a surprising number of them are willing to pay for it. Cringy right 😆
If you’re like me and want to be a shoulder for someone to lean on, you don’t mind sharing your time with others and provide companionship then let’s not waste anymore time, let’s dive right in.
I will be sharing with you 6 platforms/ websites that let’s you make money this way.
But before that I must let you in on a few important stuff to consider before you start.
- You can connect with customers looking for text, audio, video, and even face-to-face conversation.
- Some cater more toward sexual interaction, but plenty of others focus purely on platonic conversations. However, as you might expect, there seems to be more demand for the former, so fewer platforms cater solely to the latter.
- You do not need to be a social butterfly , just be able to hold a conversation and you do not have to talk about stuff you’re not comfortable about.
- And if you want to take it as a full time business and willing to branch out on your own (instead of working for a third-party platform), you could sell whatever chat services you want. If you can generate the demand yourself, you can use more flexible marketplaces like Fiverr or Freelancer to connect with clients.
1.Rent a friend
This is a website that provides in-person, online, and virtual friends to lonely people.
It’s been operating for more than a decade and is among the most popular websites for making virtual friendships. Although the website was first introduced in the US, it is now available in the UK as well.
Once your account is created, you have to answer a brief personality assessment form.
Following that, Rent a Friend uses your responses to pair you up with people you might get along with.
Once linked, you can email or use instant messaging to get acquainted with your friend/client.
In addition, if you both want to, you can meet up in person or play games or go to events together online.
This website earns money by charging clients (i.e., the lonely people) a small membership fee.
Rates generally start at $10 per hour, but you can negotiate in either direction. Friends get to set their rates individually and keep 100% of their proceeds.
2. Rent A Local Friend
Rent a Local Friend is pretty similar to Rent A Friend, but as the name implies, this site focuses on finding you local friends.
You are able to go to the same places and activities, go out to eat, take lessons together, or just text each other on the phone or online.
This is a fantastic opportunity to make money and guide those who are new to the city find their way around if you happen to be a native of the area.
This website clearly markets itself as an option for city explorers who like discovering hidden treasures.
They do, however, provide three primary service areas:
- Remote concierge – It’s kind of like an interview where they ask you questions about your city (FaceTime or Zoom), and you tell them the best/worst places to visit. Tips on making the most of their trip and what traps to avoid.
- Local friend – You meet up with a person and show them areas they are interested in or showcase your favorite spots.
- Virtual friend – You share your talents with them online, share stories, or just chat.
This site claims its users make an average of $20 per hour.
Local and virtual friends can establish their rates based on their popularity.
3. FriendPc
With hundreds of different Virtual Friends available on Friend PC, they can text, play games, video chat, and make phone calls.
Virtual friends offer unique friendship experiences, like boosting your self-esteem and giving you one-on-one time and attention.
With FriendPC you have the power to be your own boss.
You set your rates and hours and even get a referral bonus for recruiting others to join.
Plus, with its user-friendly payment system, you’ll get paid the same day you have a virtual chat.
So go ahead, chat your way to the bank mates.
4. Phrendly
Whoa, there's another app that rewards you for being a buddy!
Phrendly is the ideal platform for meeting people who are open to conversation, whether it be about lighthearted topics or more mature subjects (Hmmmm...🙊).
And why not earn a little additional money on the side as long as you feel comfortable discussing the topics that are being asked to be discussed.
Although the payment process is a little odd (you have to charge people $0.35 for virtual drinks), you may charge whatever you want for phone and video chats.
You will earn more the longer you talk!
Just watch out not to set your rate too high, otherwise you might not attract any applicants (unless, of course, you are very charming 😁 ).
And if someone really likes you, they can always buy you another drink. Which you can exchange it for money, equivalent to $10 every 8 minutes of talk time.
So what are you waiting for?
Give Phrendly a try and see if you can turn your social skills into cold, hard cash.
5. Flirtbucks
Flirtbucks is one type of chat operator job where you get paid to talk to lonely men.
As a chatter , you work from your computer and have live conversations with your clients.
Although using a webcam is required, the rules of the service only permit you to see each other's faces (in theory). Therefore, it's not as explicit as some.
It's rather simple.
You log in and start chatting with these lonely males about their challenges, difficulties, and the day to day events.
Some people may just need a feminine force to help them unpack everything since they are simply stressed out from their jobs.
Some may need guidance or just a nice conversation partner to discuss their interests and pastimes.
If you think you’re up for the challenge then go for it darling , why wait.
Pay varies depending on how long you chat—from $0.40 to $0.50 per min for video chats
Mind, your experience and the length of time you’ve worked for the company will determine the exact rate.
In the end, though, you could speak for up to $30 an hour.
Yeah that’s it from me folks, a few of the websites that reward you for being a light in someone else’s life. 😉
Okay,, a word of advice from your lovely medium pal 🤗
- Always remember to be safe on these websites and never do something you ain’t comfortable with.
- Always check for the trust score and reviews on trust pilot or any other alternative you trust, because at first glance some of these websites looks like they were designed by a 5 year old.
All in all, you should consider this side hustle if you genuinely enjoy or already spend time chatting with strangers.
I repeat do your due diligence and select a safe platform that supports your desired experience.
Just by researching on this topic I was reminded that although technology frequently isolates individuals, it can also be the very thing that unites us by bridging the gap between people from all walks of life.
These five websites highlight the lasting value of human interaction and the significant impact that an ordinary conversation can have on someone’s life, whether it be through similar interests, compassionate listening, or just being there.
You might as well show me your compassion by clapping 😁
