Winter Is Coming—And So Is $2,000!
Many avid readers have traveled to Mordor and beyond since The Lord of the Rings trilogy was first released. Decades later, Daenerys Targaryen and Cersei Lannister entered our households when George R.R. Martin came out with the first Game of Thrones book in 1996. Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher novels gained a new audience after their adaptation to a series of hit video games. Now, all of these epics have been turned into movies and/or TV shows, and the stories continue this fall when the prequels for both Game of Thrones (House of the Dragon) and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power come out in August and September, respectively.
Whether you’re a Jon Snow stan, a Frodo fanatic, or a Geralt groupie, you’ve most likely already set your DVRs or added another subscription to your long list of streaming services in anticipation of these fantasy TV series. But what if we paid you to watch them instead? USDish is offering a dream job to one lucky hobbit, or elf, or whatever you’re into: Revisit 40 hours over a timespan of 30 days of these fantasy TV series and we’ll pay you $2,000! From Westeros to the Shire, apply to take a journey that ends with a nice payout.
How to cash in the ≈295
Copper Pennies ($2,000 in USD).

- Game of Thrones
- The Witcher

You’ll want to be the “Ringbearer”—trust us!
This dream job is unlike any other! Not only will you get to travel to worlds beyond wonder, but you’ll have the opportunity to rewrite history. The series finale of Game of Thrones started quite the stir, but you can put your spin on the award-winning HBO series. Give us a summary of how GOT should have ended and we’ll publish your version on our website for all the Thronies to see. You’ll also get to cash out $2,000 for your viewing and recording efforts. Evil is evil, but this dream job is nothing short of great!
You won’t have Samwise by your side but…
USDish will provide you with access to all the shows we’re asking you to watch. We’ll also send you some snacks to help you through the 40-hour fantasy marathon. After you’ve completed the job, we’ll send you $2,000 to get you The One Ring replica, or however else you want to spend it.
HOW TO APPLY
This dream job isn’t for everyone, but if you feel like you can take the 40-hour-30-day journey, apply below. Tell us why you would be the perfect fit (a video of yourself will garner you extra points). Did you watch every episode of Game of Thrones when they first came out or did you binge watch it on HBO Max? Have you read the first The Witcher short story published in 1986, played The Witcher when it was released on Xbox and have been watching Geralt of Rivia on Netflix ever since? Can you recite all of the LOTR songs by memory? Whatever makes you the truest fantasy fan, we want to know about it.
