We use our smartphones for just about everything. From making our grocery list, to keeping in touch with friends, navigating our cities, and more. But did you know you can use it to earn some money? Here are some mobile apps you can download onto your tablet or smartphone and earn money while using them:
Pact
Pact is a great way to earn a few dollars while working on your health. We all say we want to get healthy and fit, but how many of us really stick to our plans once January is finished? This app makes you put your money where your mouth is. You’ll use the app to set your health and fitness goals, and if you fail to meet these goals, you’ll lose money. You also get rewarded when you meet your goals.
Index Dollars
Index Dollars wants to know your opinion, and will pay you cash to take some surveys, play some games, and browse the net. As soon as you hit $30, you can take that cash out. Index Dollars gets its money from advertisers who are hoping to get people to look at their advertisements so they can better understand their behaviour. You’ll be rewarded for taking part in market research.
SlideJoy
Think about how often you unlock your phone, and then consider how much money you can make doing it. SlideJoy pays you to put their ads on your lock screen. Whether you follow the link or dismiss the ad, you’ll get paid for simply having the ad on your screen. Each day you’ll be notified with how much money you’ve earned. This is a great way to earn money simply by using your phone the way you usually would.
App Trailers
App Trailers gives you points every time you watch an advert. These adverts are from games, films, apps, and more. Each time you sit through one of their trailers, you’ll get a number of points. 500 points equals 50 cents, and you’ll be able to either cash this out through PayPal, or transfer it to gift cards for Starbucks, Best Buy, Amazon, and more.
Online Gambling Apps
Unlike most of the above apps, these apps give you a chance to actually earn the money by having fun. You can play online blackjack to make some cash, which means you can have fun while earning money from your smart phone.
This is a fun way to liven up that boring commute, make the time pass faster when you’re stuck in line, or relax on the couch after a long day of work.
