Making money in your spare time has become even easier with the development of a number of apps that allow you to monetize your time on your smartphone. These apps can be used with either an Android or iOS device. Here are some simple ways to make money with apps in your spare time.
Mobee
The Mobee app connects you with mystery shopper tasks that you can do for cash. Assignments are found via a Missions map that pinpoints available opportunities nearby. After a team verifies that you have accurately completed the task, they will credit you with points that can be exchanged for gift cards, cash or other rewards.
Slidejoy
Slidejoy puts ads and news on your lockscreen, providing with you ‘Carats’ that can be exchanged for real money in return. You start with 20 Carats for signing up and 100 Carats equals $1.The number of Carats you get each day can vary and interacting with the ads doesn’t get you additional Carats. Once you have reached at least 100 Carats, you can check out your earnings and transfer them to your PayPal account. Slidejoy is currently available for Android devices only.
Bitwalking
Launched in September last year, Bitwalking lets you earn Bitwalking dollars (BW$) for going about your daily routine. Keep moving to start earning, as it takes around 10,000 steps for 1 BW$. You can then redeem your earnings for items offered through the company’s store or transfer the cash to your bank account. The program still being tested in a private beta phase, but you can request an invite to the platform.
Pact
Pact is an app that pays you for sticking to your exercise routine and improving your health. Members sign up for various health and exercise commitments and pledge an amount they agree to pay if they miss their goals. You’re paid rewards for meeting your goals directly from members who failed to achieve theirs. The amount pledged for completing your activity has no bearing on your payout. The company reports that the average reward amount ranges between $0.30 and $5 per week.
ezyShot
ezyShot is a social network that pays you for people accessing your updates. You choose how many ezyCoins it costs for people to view your updates or send you messages. Once you have accumulated an ezyCoin balance, you can transfer them to a bank or PayPal account at a rate of $0.40 per 10 coins. However, ezyShot takes a 50/50 cut of coins earned. The more popular you are on the site, the more money you will make, so choose a niche that you can stand out in. The app is only available for Android devices for now, but the company is reportedly making an iOS version.
There’s certainly no shortage of different ways to make money with apps. Before making a decision on which ones to invest your time in, do some quick internet research on the ones you’re considering. Stay away from any apps that have numerous bad reviews or reports of problems. You’ll save yourself a headache by sticking to apps that have a good reputation.
