Talk as an Influencer on Chat Apps
There are a variety of chat apps where you can pose as an “influencer” or someone of value and earn money. Whether you have experience as a therapist, lawyer, or even a nurse, you can offer advice to random people and get them to send you money.
The whole point of these types of apps is to give users easier access to a variety of types of professions, or even just friends, to talk to and chat with on a daily basis. Similar to social media,but with more intent and requirements to for both sides to respond.
This model works because you can quite literally chat with someone for one session, and you set the price of your session. You can earn anywhere from $15 to $250 per session. Depending on what you offer, the price could also vary.
To get started, you first need to sign up for a platform. A few platforms this type of work can be found on would be:
Talkroom: At Talkroom, you can set up calls, chat with others, provide advice, or simply have a casual session of 30 minutes to an hour with another person. You can also download the Talkroom app and chat on the go.Â
Premium.chat: Safely chat with anyone and get paid. No app install is required, however, you do need to sign up using your email. You can also create content so you can earn without needing to be present.Â
Rent a Cyber Friend: To provide anonymous friendship, you can earn money by replying to messages as a “friend” with someone else. You would need to sign up via the website, and it does pay rather low ($0.1 per minute).
The best about these apps is you do not have to disclose your real identity to these people, unless you are providing professional services then it may be required. Talkroom has seen better reviews than the others, however all three hold up very well in terms of reviews.Â
If you are a gamer and looking for ways to chat with other gamers or maybe even play with others and make some extra cash, there are plenty of gaming chat websites where you can offer chat time and a gaming session. The whole point is to provide gamers an outlet to meet new players and get better at their gaming performance.Â
Typically, an average session would be around $3 to $4. However, if they really like you or if you are super friendly, they will order multiple sessions to play with you. I found this cool gamer, super normal (I mean a typical bronze), who has had over 1,000 sessions! Now, if you calculate 1,000 x $3, that's $3,000!
I would suggest, if you do consider this option,that you are rather good at a specific game or have a lot of free time to play with others. Usually, a good review means you will gain more sessions, so it's vital to:
Play video games. Even if it is non-competitive, but offering both gives you moreÂ
Be friendly. Show you care about the game and their feelings, soft skills go a long way.Â
Have about 2-3 hours of free time. Gaming usually takes 2-3 hours out of your day, especially if this is how you want to make some extra money.Â
To get started, I would suggest trying out E-Pal or MyBoosting. Both of these websites offer a variety of ways to provide gaming chat services, including boosting or simply casual gaming.Â

Sign Up for Dating Chat Apps
Dating apps for random chats plague the internet. It can be frustrating sometimes when that is the only option available. However, there are a few that actually pay well, and you can earn an extra $40-$100 a week from these apps.Â

Keep in Mind: While you can earn a good return from these apps, be always careful and only provide false information to chatters to avoid dangerous situations.Â
Dating chat apps are meant to give the lonely a chance to talk to someone and create an imaginative relationship that is purely online. While you would be making money and meeting new people, this type of job is not meant to provide you with any kind of connection or give you new friends.
If you are truly interested in this type of job, I found a common website called Phrendly. Multiple people say this app is rather decent and well-organized. Keep in mind that you won’t talk to just one person at a time, and the website ensures many security measures so that your identity is protected.
Freelance for Chat Support Gigs

In order to acquire a chat support gig, you must first look at a majority of reliable freelancer platforms. You will also need to provide particular work experiences regarding customer service. This is also very important if you want to be paid well for the job you provide. Customer satisfaction usually goes a long way with these gigs.Â
Here are a few good search inquiries that I found to help get you started:
With these types of freelance jobs, you can expect to make from $5 to $15 an hour. Which is not necessarily enough to make for retirement, but it is pretty good for being a side hustle. A few offer more (like $30-40 an hour), but at that point,you will probably need to answer calls and sign a large employment contract.Â
Be a Twitter Ghostwriter
Although not very publicized, being a Twitter Ghostwriter has been a popular way to get paid to chat, mainly through Twitter (X). The job of a Ghostwriter or "Reply Guy" is extremely easy, almost too easy. The issue with the job, really, is staying consistent, and making sure you write genuine, relative responses that are of value to the post, this is how you gain likes and impressions.Â
Twitter alone pays those who start having over 500 followers through their ad revenue sharing program. However, you do not necessarily have to have a huge following to be a Ghostwriter. If you can prove you can write consistently, everyday, there are thousands of users on Twitter looking to hire. You have a huge chance to land your first gig here and start getting paid to chat.
Reply guys usually earn about $500 a month; however, if you assist multiple users, you can easily make around $1500 to $2000 monthly by simply chatting with others online.Â
How does this work?Â
To start, you will need to have a Twitter profile. It would be more beneficial if you are rather active on Twitter and are involved in a related topic (like crypto). From here, these are the requirements to stand out to larger profiles:Â
Posting everyday. Post everyday on a topic you have passion for, from short to long-form posts
Make valuable responses. Respond to other posts with value, not just a hello or good morning response.Â
Create a personal brand. You should stand out from others, use a tone of voice, or create a brand with a mascot and colors for your profile pic and other pictures.Â
I have been rather consistent with this gig myself. Growing is a bit of a slow process but its actually super rewarding as I have been able to join multiple reply guy communities and find a few small gigs. It is indeed possible, I would just suggest you create multiple tweets in one day and then schedule them to pot throughout the week to avoid burnout.Â
A few good reply guys that I know make some good money and I follow personally are Joseph and David, with a solid following and great at what they do. Keep an eye on good writers and reply guys on Twitter, keep posting and responding, and you will be well on your way to making money to chat on Twitter.
