Technology has made things interestingly easy today and everyone who doesn’t embrace it is doomed.
Numerous things today depend on technology to be successful and almost everyone today has a smartphone.
When you look at your smartphone, you probably think of ways you can use money instead of the ways you can use the phone to earn.
It’s wrong to tell you that you will stay at home and do absolutely nothing and get paid.
When people talk of working at home, some of the things they do are online.
Personally, I tend to think that money is a reward for something done well.
So if you are willing to do something with your phone, the reward might come in handy.
Android users today boast of having the most smartphone users globally.
This gives app developers a platform where they give people a chance to earn using mobile appsdownloaded on their mobile phones.
So which are some of the best apps you can download and make money using them:-
1. Ebates
It’s a coupon app that gives you cashback on some purchases.
The app operates in a way that when you shop for what you want to buy, you then use this app to make the purchase and the app will give you some cash back on the purchases.
The app will save you some money and earn you some money at the same time too. The app is free and its one of the most effective apps for making money online.
2. Swagbucks
Swagbucks has the biggest payout for all of the apps that offer monetary rewards.
Having paid more than $1 million in rewards to date, if you can’t make money from Swagbacks, you ain’t qualified to be an internet user.
You can make money by doing the simplest of things on Swagbucks, shopping via the SB app, online surveys, daily polls, refer alls, watching videos and even for searching the web through the SB app.
The best part is, they pay through Paypal apart from Amazaon,Walmart and Target gift cards.
So..even if you are based outside the U.S, you can still make money from Swagbucks, if you have a Paypal account and a VPN connection.
This app might not give you hard cash,but it gives you Google Play credits which you can use to pay for apps, movies and songs on Google Play.
The app is used to do surveys and every time there is a new survey you will receive a notification and once you are through with the survey, you earn. You just need to answer a series of questions in a matter of time.
4. Pact
As evident from the app’s name, Pact is an absolutely no non-sense fitness based app.In order to earn from this app, you have to set a monthly or weekly fitness goal, to earn rewards.
If you fail to achieve your fitness goals,to must pay the app, to stop them from suspending your account.
You can verify your fitness activity by mobile photos, app based checklist and GPS.
Once your fitness activities are verified, you can earn upto $5 for a verified fitness goal.Not everybody’s cup of tea, Pact is only for serious fitness freaks.
5. eBay
People have a lot of stuff that is worth money and they probably don’t use them.
eBay will help you turn that stuff into hard cash just put your stuff on eBay listing and people will buy it and you ship it out.
You can sell whatever you want on eBay from clothing to books, electronics and even cars.
It is advisable to sell larger items locally to avoid high shipping costs.
This is where you start when selling your things online and it is one of the best apps to help you make money.
One of the simplest money making apps, you get paid for watching Hollywood and Indie movie trailers.You can also earn rewards by uploading original videos.
Payments are made through Paypal but there aren’t many ways to make money from this app apart from watching movie trailers.
Surveys on the Go helps you complete surveys for money. Unlike the other apps that give you points or Google Opinion Rewards, this app gives you hard cash.
The app might not make you a lot of money because there are few surveys available during any month,but it is a good one for those people who want to earn a few dollars now and then.
The app is easy enough to use and one of the must-have apps if you’re going to make money on your smartphone.
