To paraphrase an old saying, “If I had a penny for every time I caught myself playing around on my smartphone…”
I mean, we'd all probably be filthy rich.
Guys, I mean this seriously: wouldn't you adore getting paid every time you used your phone? It's true that nobody will ever pay you to check your email or Facebook, but there are legitimate ways to earn money from your mobile device. If I'm being really honest, you probably won't make enough money to ditch your day job and devote yourself to this full-time. ON THE OTHER HAND, if you're going to be talking on the phone anyhow… It makes sense to get paid when you have to wait for something, like an appointment or the bus.
New as of 4/5/20 You've requested it, so here it is! The Pandemic Edition of the Survival Guide for Transforming Your Home from Trash to Treasure is now available for FREE download!
It shows you step by step how to use your unique character to create healthy habits at home that will not only succeed (regardless of how many times you've tried and failed before), but that you'll continue to practise even after the pandemic is over.
We have shown hundreds of thousands of individuals how to make dramatic improvements to their living situation with relatively little work over time. Now it's your turn.
Indeed, this is the case. There are several fantastic apps available that will reward you monetarily for performing actions you're already performing on your mobile device. To put it another way, you won't need to engage in a number of extracurricular activities, SPAM your friends, or spend all day on your phone in order to make some additional cash. There are apps that pay you to take surveys, play games, or even make purchases (for things already on your grocery list). It's simple!
I can say, though, that many of the apps available are either useless or will lead you to spend money unnecessarily. Some need a lot of additional work and time. You could definitely put your time and effort to greater use elsewhere, and there are other methods to generate money on your smartphone than these. Choose wisely by checking out the feedback online. Don't blindly install every new programme that appears.
The apps I've seen here are legitimate, and they didn't make me put in a tonne of extra work. They're easy to do and, well, mildly entertaining. These paid apps can be addictive, so you may find that you can't stop using them. In other words, “Oh, I have ten minutes, I'll just watch a video and earn some credits!”
So without further ado, here are 4 ways How to earn money from mobile? that actually work!
1. Use the Internet and video streaming services
It's simple to lose track of time while perusing the Internet and skimming through social media. Why not put your scrolling skills to good use and make a few bucks at the same time?
You may earn rewards in a variety of apps simply by watching advertisements. Then, you may cash out your points for prizes like gift cards or even cold hard cash! Here are some of the most downloaded “surf and earn” programmes:
Swagbucks
Among mobile applications, Swagbucks is currently among the most downloaded. You may read about my genuine experience with Swagbucks here. Shopping, watching movies, and filling out surveys all earn you “SBs,” which can be redeemed for things like gift cards and PayPal cash. The fact that their members have amassed over $185,000,000 in wealth must mean that they are doing something right.
CashPirate
You can gain points by participating in short surveys, playing games, and interacting with advertisements on this app. You earn “coins” for completing tasks, and after you've accumulated enough, you may exchange them for PayPal cash.
Fronto
This app is similar to others in that it rewards users for viewing advertisements and reading articles, bargains, and reviews. Even downloading free apps can net you bonus points. If you're collecting points for PayPal cash, gift cards, or discounts, the more points you have, the more you can get. Nice!
2. Shop (Like You Already Shop) (Like You Already Shop)
Everybody goes out to the stores. It's safe to assume that everyone requires the services of a grocery store, a laundromat, and a wardrobe. You read that right: there are apps for your smartphone that will pay you to buy things you already plan to buy. (It's not a bunch of junk you wouldn't buy anyhow.) Just a few extra clicks and you can start making money right away, so it's a breeze. List of well-liked apps that pay you to shop:
Ibotta
Have your grocery money put to good use! You prepare for a shopping trip by completing a few quick tasks on the app that are all relevant to your normal brands and items. Taking a picture of your receipt after making a purchase can result in a cashback being added to your account. If you have earned $5 or more, you can request payment via PayPal at any time. Every day, Ibotta adds new offers, and many of them will be on your shopping list anyhow. (Banana juice? Milk?) Bread?)
Shopkick
Shopkick is a mobile app that rewards you for visiting stores you regularly frequent. Seriously. Earn points by scanning barcodes and spend them on gift cards to the retailers of your choice. Even while you can't convert your points into cold hard cash, you can still save money by using the gift cards you earn to pay for the things you were planning to buy anyway.
Hog of Receipts
Receipt Hog is a shopping rebate app like Ibotta. You can earn points toward gift cards or PayPal cash just by taking a picture of your receipt at any retailer, playing a few games and paid surveys, and then redeeming your points. It's painless, and the majority of the required supplies are ones you already buy.
3. Get Rid of Extra Stuff by Selling It
There are undoubtedly a few things in every home that are collecting dust since the owner no longer has any use for them. The convenience of smartphone cameras makes it simple to photograph and list items for sale online. When I first started selling things on eBay, the procedure was daunting and time-consuming. There is no requirement to learn complex camera controls, arrange elaborate sets, or purchase an expensive camera. If you're looking to make some extra cash, here are a few fun apps you can use to sell your unused items:
Poshmark
After signing up, you may snap photos of high-end apparel in less than a minute and put it up for auction. So little effort is required, it's ridiculous. In exchange for listing your items on Poshmark, the site will deduct 20% of the final sale price. You can both buy and sell on Poshmark, so take a look around; you could score a fantastic bargain of up to 70% off the original price tag.
Depop
Just like on Poshmark, all you have to do to sell on Depop is take a photo and post it. They take 10% of anything you sell, but that's not just for clothes. You can make a killing in the accessory and collectibles industry. Many sellers “model” the garments (think selfies) on Depop since it appeals to a younger, more social media-savvy clientele, but this is not required. Instagrammers hold flash sales on Depop.
letgo
Letgo is like a mobile version of Craigslist and serves as a marketplace for used goods. Since all transactions occur face-to-face, sellers keep the entire sale price and there are no costs associated with shipping or handling. It's simple to list products, and you can easily compare costs by looking at listings in other places. Given that this service encourages face-to-face interactions, it's important to review their security policies to ensure your own protection.
eBay
The mobile version of eBay's selling platform has come a long way since the company's inception. Create an account, list your things, and wait for buyers to place bids. A quick and simple solution to get rid of the clutter in your home without breaking the bank or wasting time. They also provide an eBay valet service where, for a price, they perform ALL THE WORK FOR YOU in exchange for a share of the transaction, which is ideal if you despise maintaining your seller rating and leaving feedback on eBay (or making all those trips to the post office).
Playing Games
I know that not everyone enjoys playing mobile games, but if you do, why not maximise your entertainment value by monetizing your hobby? You can get paid to play some really fun mobile games.
Qriket
Just by spinning the wheel, you can win real cash in this app. It's a tossing game where you choose a colour to spin (blue or yellow). A spin might net you anywhere from 5 cents to $10. As soon as your initial allotment of free spins has been used up, you can earn more by watching brief advertisements. If your balance in PayPal Cash exceeds $25, you can request a payout. A perk? You can win real-time cash prizes of up to $100 at Qriket's QriketLive events. In addition, if you follow the people behind Qriket on social media, you'll receive daily spin codes to use.
You may earn money using your smartphone in a variety of simple ways, such as by playing games, making purchases, or completing surveys. Will you become wealthy? No, but you'll save money and get more done than if you just browse the web or read people's Facebook comments all day.
