Very low earnings, only worth it if you listen to the radio anyway
0.25 points for every 15 minutes of internet radio. Points turn into USD once a month, and payments can take up to 35 business days.

The short answer
RadioEarn is a Get-Paid-To (GPT) site that pays you points for listening to internet radio, surfing websites and referring people. The way to earn is very simple.
But the earning potential is very low: even 8 hours of listening a day earns you well under $1 a month. Points are converted to USD once a month, and payments can take up to 35 business days. The website is now full of ads. It should not be for the money, but more a site to join if you like listening to the radio anyway.

- Converts your rewards to USD automatically

Is RadioEarn worth it?
RadioEarn has a simple way to earn, but there are important things you need to know before you join.
- Very low earnings
You earn 0.25 points for every 15 minutes of listening. Listening 8 hours a day, every day, gives you roughly 240 points a month, which is well under $1 at 1,000 points = $1.
- Slow payments
Points are converted to USD on the 15th of the next month, and payment requests can take up to 35 business days. It can take more than a month to receive what you earned. One reader wrote in 2022 that RadioEarn did not pay and did not answer in its Telegram group.
- Ads and pop-ups on the website
The homepage now has several ads, which it did not have when I first tested it. The links on the homepage often open pop-up ads, and my anti-virus software popped up when I clicked them.
- Mobile data use
There is no app, but you can listen in a mobile browser. Streaming uses a lot of mobile data, so use Wi-Fi or a large data plan.
My takeIf you like listening to the radio, you might want to give it a try. However, you must set your expectations pretty low for what you can earn from it, as the earning potential is very low. The best-case scenario I can think of for using it is listening to the radio while working. Otherwise, if you are purely looking for ways to earn rewards online, you are better off joining other sites.
How you earn on RadioEarn
There are 3 ways to earn. Listening to the radio is the main one. Tap one to read more.
Listening to internet radio0.25 points per 15 min
Log in, click the Start Earning tab and pick a radio station. Each station is only available in certain regions. For example, Radio 4 was only available in Europe and the US. You earn 0.25 points for every 15 minutes of listening.
If you have a website, you can also generate a Radio-API in the “For my Website” section. Put the stations on your website, and you earn points when your visitors listen. It can work as a form of passive income.
Surfing websitesVaries per site
Go to “Start Earning”, open the “Surfing” tab and click the link. A new tab shows the sites you can visit. Usually you view a site for a certain amount of time to earn the reward. The points vary per site, so check the conditions. There are not many sites.
Referral program5% commission
Share your invite link, or put an invite banner on your website. You get a 5% commission on what your referrals earn. RadioEarn pays it, not your referral.
How much can you make?
It depends almost entirely on how often you listen. There are not enough sites to surf to make a big difference, and the referral program depends on how active your referrals are.
Say you listen 8 hours a day. That gives you 8 points a day, or roughly 240 points in a month if you do not skip a day. At 1,000 points = $1, that is well under $1.
So it should not be for the money, but more a site to join if you like listening to the radio anyway.
Payout methods and minimum
| Method | Minimum | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Bank transfer | $5 | Up to 35 business days |
| Amazon gift cards | $5 | Up to 35 business days |
| Bitcoin | $5 | Up to 35 business days |
| PayPal | $5 | Up to 35 business days |
Your points are converted to USD on the 15th of the next month, at 1,000 points = $1. Only then can you request a payment. Want to be paid faster? See the quick-paying survey sites.
What 20 readers told me
This review has 20 comments since 2021: 10 from readers and 10 replies from me. These are the things readers ask about most.
Readers from Nepal, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and India asked. Most radio stations are only available in Europe or the US, so I point them to better sites for their country.
New readers asked if it is worth it. As the review explains, it is not a site I recommend if you want to earn.

“Would the the points be saved if I close it? For example, I need to go out and switch off my PC.”

“hi i live in South Africa i jus joined radioearn ,will i be able to make money from this end of the word.”
Mikael: You should not really expect to earn from it.
“Is India or transfer to India account is available”
Mikael: As I explain in the review above, RadioEarn is not worth it, in my opinion.
