You may be surprised to read this, but you can actually get paid to be someone’s friend.
And no, I am not talking about escort services or anything like that. I am talking about getting paid to simply be someone’s friend for a few hours and accompany them to a dinner, party, movie, wedding, or wherever else they like to go with a friend.
RentAFriend is a company that makes that possible. It connects people who need a friend for a few hours or a day with those who are looking to earn some extra cash as a professional friend.

Here are a few examples from the site itself:
“People who travel to a new city can hire a local to show them around town. It`s always good to know someone from the area who can give you first-hand information about where to go and what to avoid.
Someone might want to see a movie or go out to a restaurant but don`t have anyone to go with. They could “Rent a Friend” to go along with them.
Many Friends on RentAFriend.com have unique talents and skills. They can teach you a new language, tutor you, share a new hobby, art, dance, and much more.
People who travel often for business that are looking to find local Friends to go out to dinner with, go to the bar with, or watch a sports game with.
People who have an extra ticket to a sporting event or concert and don`t want to go alone. They can “Rent a Friend” to go along them.
Someone may want a workout partner for the gym. Renting a Friend to help motivate and spot you during your workout. It can also be a lot cheaper than hiring a personal trainer.”
How RentAFriend Works
People who are looking for friends just browse through the website until they find someone that they like.
They do this by entering their country, state, city, or zip code to find potential friends in the area. It’s really not that hard.
If you’re interesting enough, people will get in touch with you through RentAFriend to talk about what they want to do.

You can negotiate your rate for the set date, place, and activity, and these people will pay you directly.
If you’re uncomfortable doing certain activities, just decline. No hard feelings.
You’ll find that members will contact you for some indoor rock climbing or bike riding, while others would like to go to more fancy events like concerts, gallery shows, casinos, and galas.
How to get started
To start earning money from this website, you need to first send your application.
This normally just takes a couple of minutes to fill out and when you’re done, your profile is often approved in just under an hour.
And then, that’s it! Your profile goes live and people can get in touch with you. Discuss the preferred activities as well as the corresponding fee, time, and date.
When all is said and done, all you need to do is to meet up, have fun, and make some easy cash.
Why should I trust this site?
It’s completely free. That’s right. Unlike other websites where you have to shell money to make money, all you need to do to be part of this website is to post your profile. Even better, you get to keep all the money that you earn!
You are not forced to do anything that you don’t like. If a person gets in touch with you that’s even the slightest bit creepy, you’re free to say: “No, thanks… Next, please!”
Plus, you also get to decide just how much you want to be paid and your available dates.
People have to get a paid RentAFriend membership just to contact you, which means that they are pre-qualified and absolutely serious. No timewasters here.
How Much Money Can I Make?
So, just how much can you make posing as someone’s friend?
I did some research, and it seems like you can find people earning as little as $300 on weekends and people who are pulling in about $8000 every month, mainly because they do it full-time.
So, I guess the amount you can make relies heavily on the number of clients you get and how much time you put into this thing.
RentAFriend.com is a legitimate website that not only makes you money but is a lot of fun, too. Visit the website and post a profile today.
Final Thoughts
While this can be a great opportunity to meet new friends and make extra cash, be sure to keep your safety as your first priority!
As with any situation meeting a stranger, be sure to use common sense and good judgment.
Don’t meet someone at their home or in a secluded place.
Always meet in public.
Let a friend or family member know where you’re going and who you’re going to meet. Also set up “check in” times with your designated friend or family member.
Trust your gut! If something feels “off” then leave immediately.
