Zwerl Review – Scam or Legit? Read My Review
Zwerl is an online chat platform where USERS (the one who get to ask questions) and EXPERTS meet. I joined zwerl on the 2nd week of November 2018. When I joined, they credited $5 into my account but recently they changed the joining bonus and the referral bonus into $1 (you’ll need to reach 500 reputation to get the bonus).
I joined Zwerl because I wanted to write a review and I was curious on how this program works. I’ve been seeing users with high reputation (100k plus reputation) on the platform so I assumed that this site really pays experts. I decided to answer questions to get reputation points and to atleast meet the minimum earnings for payout. Minimum earnings required to payout on ZWERL is $20.
After working several minutes a day for 2 weeks, I earned $49. You get to choose the question that you want to answer. Each chat session would last 10 minutes and after 10 minutes, you have the chance to vote for 1 expert aside from you who provided a good answer. The experts who got voted, will receive compensation. The compensation for 1 question is around $1-$2. So if you get 2 votes out of 5 then you’ll receive 2/5th of the alloted amount for that question. Sometimes I get $1 plus when I’m the only one who got a vote after a 10 minute chat session.
Zwerl App Compensation
The compensation at Zwerl makes me really doubtful if this app is legit. When I joined, I already know that there is a great chance that I won’t get paid by this platform. There is no way that they can pay all the members who are joining. They have a referral program ($1 per referral if the user reached 500 reputation). There is a joining bonus of $1 and you get compensated per message received on your zwerl inbox. For each question asked, they pay $1-$2 to experts and I’m seeing a lot of nonsense questions on their platform. I don’t know how they would be able to pay their users for these type of activities.
I joined Zwerl on the 2nd week of November and worked a few minutes on days that I’m not busy . After November, I decided to just wait for the payout if they would really send the payment but I’ve been seeing comments that a lot of users are being placed on Queue. If you’re on queue, you won’t get paid unless you work your way out of queue and to do that you’ll need to earn votes and reputations. That’s a lot of work since you’ll be competing with other experts to get votes after each 10 mins chat session.
Zwerl Pro’s and Con’s
I want to be fair in this review so I’d like to mention the things that I like about this platform and the things that I don’t like. BTW, I was placed on queque so it means I won’t be receiving my payout for November but I’ve been expecting it since a lot of their users have the same complaint plus there’s just no way that they can afford the compensation plan. I do think their compensation plan is just a lure to gain users to their platform. I don’t see any type of monetization on their site maybe it’s because they’re still trying to gain users on their platform.
Many Zwerl users are frustrated because they’re expecting to get paid on time and many of them worked for hours just to earn money and then at the last minute, they’ll get notification that they’re on queue and their activities needs to be reviewed.
I think that only small percentage of zwerl experts get paid and a large percentage get frustrated because they won’t get compensated.
If you want to get paid by Zwerl, you’ll need to be consistent in providing great and useful answers to user’s questions. Only choose questions that you can answer and even if you can provide a great answer to some of the questions, there is still no guarantee that you’ll get compensated because you’ll be competing with other experts on every chat session.
The good thing about zwerl is that you get to ask any type of questions and you’ll get other user’s opinion in real time but of course since you’re the one asking questions, there is no compensation for you. This is what I like about Zwerl, there are times that I don’t like to do research and what I do is visit their site and ask my question. There are times that you get good answers from experts but there are also instances where no one can provide a good answer.
If you want to try the app and see how it works, feel free to use this link to join Zwerl and get the joining bonus. As I’ve mentioned, there are users who get their payout on time but there are others who are placed on queue. Read their rules and regulations if you decided to work as an expert. Get high reputation and be consistent if you want to get paid.
Feel free to join if you’re someone who just likes to chat. I’ve learned a lot from other zwerl experts and this is one thing that I like most about zwerl. Just remember, that you may or may not be compensated for the hours that you spend on Zwerl. Here’s the invite link to get the bonus JOIN ZWERL HERE.

Update: I received the earnings from my Zwerl account last week of January 2019. The bad news is that Zwerl will no longer pay experts. You can use the app to connect, socialized etc.

If you’re good at referring or recruiting, you may have a higher chance of getting paid since you earn cash reward for every qualified users that you refer. Your referrals should meet atleast 500 rep points for you to earn the referral reward and having referrals will bump you up on the queue.

I’ve only refer to people never got paid for it. I have to have three for 30. I will say that I get paid every month on time and it is a legit platform. However I do understand your apprehension about it. A lot of people are in the Zwerl queue which I’m not saying I agree with everything they do, I think it’s sometimes slave labor but for me personally I have to say that they have paid me every month and treated me well. I do not however like seeing friends of mine taken advantage of but we don’t know anything until the end of January and when people start getting out of the queue. The reviews are on going though. Check my site for my Zwerl review too. I linked to yours such a good article I put it up. Also have given credit and link to your site. I get a few hundred visitors per week so I do OK not very great but enough that it will get you some visitors simply through my page. I’m still working on the review you did for it and changing it up a little bit but also giving you credit. If there’s anything you don’t like just let me know.

Hello Melissa, thanks for the input. I tried to login to my zwerl account this morning and guess what? I got a message from zwerl. They informed me that they just finished my review and seen that my chats demonstrated adherence to community guidelines. According to them, it may take days for the transfer to complete so I’d be seeing the money on my bank account by the end of next week.
I’ll try to update my post once I receive the money from zwerl.
My account is still on queque because I stopped being active on zwerl. I know how to get out of it so I could earn but I decided to not be active because I prefer to invest my time into something that would earn me passive income.
Joann says
Zwerl if a great platform to ask questions but I don’t recommend it to people who needs cashflow. As I’ve mentioned in my post, the probability of not getting paid is high plus on a single 10 minute chat, you’ll be competing with the other experts to get a vote and if you fail to convince the user and other experts to vote for you then you get no points or compensation for that chat session.
