Make Easy Cash With Your Smart Phone
Apps that were tested.
- Gigwalk* - With this app every few days a job will pop up and once I get the job completed it takes less than 24 hours to get approved for my payment and is instantly sent to my paypal without having to reach a certain limit before I can get my funds. Payouts range from $2.50 to $6 but can increase the more jobs that you are allowed to do.
- Field Agent* - This one has tons of jobs and other things to do everyday and has a higher payout than Gigwalk. They do not have any restrictions on what jobs you can choose as long as you can do it. Payouts range from $3.00 to $12.00 and can go even higher once you complete more jobs. It usually takes around 24-48 hours to you can get your funds transferred to your paypal account but like Gigwalk there isn't a certain threshold limit before you can transfer your funds.
- Mobee - I haven't had a job come up that I have been able to complete so I will have to update more on this app once I can complete a job to see what the payouts are.
- iPoll - I feel like this app was a waste of time and have yet been approved for any jobs that I have completed.
- Rewardables - I've had the chance to do one job and it was simple and the payout was $3. The issue is that was the only job I have had near me that I could complete and they have a minimum of a $5 payout. Will update once I can confirm how quick they operate.
- Shift First* - The two jobs I've done on this app were pretty easy and one was a $7 job as the other was a $5 job. They approved the jobs within 24hrs and my payment was sent directly to my paypal account.
- Kickstart - This app is a little different because it doesn't payout cash (well you can but the gift cards are a better deal) but it has different levels of threshold limits for different items. You get points for walking in stores and scanning different items that it wants you to. It's a good app to have on the side while you are doing other jobs.
*These apps are highly recommended and are the ones I use on a regular basis
That expensive smartphone you're carrying may be the key to earning a little pocket money. Several services will pay you to install their apps and perform market research or otherwise point and click with your smartphone. They're easy tasks anyone can do. While you won't be able to make a living off these apps and services, the extra money you make may well be worth the minimal effort. Some pay in cash directly to your account; some pay in gift cards.
You have an advantage if you live in a good-size city rather than in a rural area. Most of the jobs are in cities. You constantly hear about the benefits of a side gig — but in reality, fitting one into your schedule isn't easy. By the time you actually leave work, the last thing you want to do in your spare time is work some more. The trick is finding something that doesn't even feel like work.
Thankfully, there are easy ways to earn money on your phone doing things that you're probably already doing. There are apps that will pay you for visiting a store or restaurant (you don't even need to buy anything) and others that will give you money and gift cards for watching movie trailers. Replacing your Candy Crush habit with one of these apps could help you earn a little cash each day, rather than spending it on more lives.
