How I Make
Over $200/Month Passively (plus extras to make way more!):
As an
introduction to this list, I have been working on it since around April of
2015. Apps come and go, so I constantly work on updating this with what
is relevant, what takes the least amount of effort, and what simply looks fun
to try. I have made thousands of dollars in cash and in Amazon gift cards
using all of these apps and programs (and that isn’t even using them to their
fullest! I have been able to do a lot through the use of these apps and
programs. I hope you get as much, if not more, out of them as I have.
I will try to do individual posts of each item with much more details and
specifics of how I get the most out of each program with the least amount of
effort.
Email me at euxinus7@seznam.cz (I am in the
USA) with any questions, suggestions, or to request the invitation codes for
some of these programs to get their sign up bonuses.
Highlighted
Program of the Month:
Meer: WIN $300 in this Month’s Contest!!!!! This program is in beta, which means that early
subscribers/testers could potentially get some sweet incentives once it starts
rolling out. With investing beermoney, I want to use every tool
available. This program lets me follow my favorite investors and copy their
trades and investing so I can reap bigger gains. They are also having a contest to win $300 which ends on May
31, 2016!
Signup
Bonuses:
Seashells:
It’s a round-up app. You link your bank
account and when you shop, it rounds up the total of the transaction, and puts
the rounded-up amount into an account and then rewards an extra 15% on top of
that (example: Spend $1.50, rounded up to $2. $0.50, the round up
difference is put into the account, and you are rewarded $0.075). The
rounded-up amount and the reward total go towards purchasing gift cards through
the app. Use code xVO-lH when you sign up and we'll both receive
$2 FREE after you reach your first $20 rounded up!
Circle App – We both get $10 after you send $25+ from your debit card
to whoever (it won’t reward you if you don’t transfer money from your debit
card through the Circle app)! You can get the $10 within the same day!
Email/PM me for the invite as it is a one-time use code
rather than a link anyone can use.
Bitcoin Wallet - We both get $10 when you buy $100 or more worth of bitcoin
from the app. I bought mine then cashed it out after I got my $10 bonus.
Email/PM me for the invite as it is a one-time use code
rather than a link anyone can use.
Cash App - We both get $5 after you send $50 to whoever from the app.
Acorns
Investing is a program you can do from your phone through
their app or your computer. Sign up; you get $5 to begin investing. No need to
do any more than that if you don’t want to, it’s an easy $5! If you are a
student signing up using your .edu email, or you are age 24 or under, any fees
they have are waived when signing up. They recently introduced a new
earnings program within the app called “Found Money” which awards you for purchases
made to different stores with your bank account that is linked to Acorns.
Some award a percentage of the purchase, others reward a specific amount.
Qapital is an app for automatic savings to whatever goal you have.
It is similar to Acorns, but not investing, and therefore, no investment
management fees. It does the round up option, and through the IFTTT program,
you can automate funding your savings when you do certain things. I have been
using this one for a while and have built up quite a savings because I don't
notice the pocket change being paid into it from rounding up my purchases and
depositing the difference each time. It is easy to set up and fund (it requires
linking to a bank account in order to fund the rounding up savings as well as
seeing what amounts are spent to calculate the round up amounts). Once you fund
your first savings goal, you get $5 from Qapital (and email them if it doesn't
show up right away).
WiseBanyan is a free investing tool used to build up an investment
account. Transfer month amounts of at least $10/month to your account for
6 months and you get $15! No minimum balance required. You have to
do the minimum $10/month transfer to the account or you don’t get their $15
bonus.
PeepTrade: This is for Investors/Traders who have an account with
Interactive Brokers.
You get a
signup bonus of $50 from the site itself, and when you become a Guru, people
who will follow your trading methods and watch how you trade pay you. Some
current Peeptrade Guru's are making $99/month/subscriber (rates vary depending
on your skills and rating)! Depends on how skilled you are and how they rate
your trading.
Email me with the email address where you want me
to send the invite.
When you sign
up, apply to be a Guru. You have to link the brokerage account you use to their
site so that your subscribers can see how you trade and follow what you do.
Complete all the steps and let me know if you aren’t getting your $50 bonus for
becoming a Guru and linking the brokerage account you use for trading.
Passive
Apps:
FreeEats is so easy to make a little extra money from. Basically you
sign up, register your phone number to receive periodic texts from them. Each
text you receive is worth at least $0.25!!! And they pay even more when you
complete tasks like downloading an app or checking out a website. But if you
don’t want to do any of that, you still get paid for the text you received. I
think they still give an extra $1 for signing up. All payments are made
immediately to your PayPal account, so if you don’t have one, get one!
SMSogram is a program to get your own SMS verification texts and
other texting needs. You pay per text, but it saves you the cost of
paying someone else to do phone verifications. And when you get others to
sign up, you get 20% of the money they spend on the service. They are
also awarding $100 each month to users with the most referrals!
Paribus is a program that links your email account and your Amazon
(or Target, BestBuy) account, and other online stores, and will track price
drops and pay you the difference of your original purchase and the price drop!
I bought a Nexus 6 and got back $150 when the price dropped a few days later.
No work besides linking the accounts (link the email account where
e-receipts are sent, and your Amazon account):
Qmee is a program you install on your browser (Chrome, Firefox,
etc.) and when you do regular searches on Google, Amazon, or Ebay, it rewards
you. It will pull up links to products and stores related to your searches, and
when you click on those results, you get paid. You need to have a paypal
account to get paid. I have made over $5 just from regular searches in one
month. You can cash out at any amount at any time.
Adme
Lockscreen, Browser, and Social Apps: Every time
you unlock your phone, browse the web, or check your social media sites
(Facebook, Twitter, etc.), you get paid whether you click on any ads that are
there or not. You get a sign up bonus of $3, plus using my code: oJifaWzhAE
gets you an additional $0.25. So total you start with $3.25 just for signing
up! Minimum payout is $10, but it adds up fast. I’ve gotten paid $40 so far
from using them. And using all three apps by them has increased how
quickly it adds up exponentially!
Slidejoy
Lockscreen App: I use this simultaneously with Adme. You can
cash out for as low as $1 at a time. I’ve made over $2/month using this
lockscreen app. I save it till I reach $25 worth of points, then I get
the Amazon gift card, since it gives me 500 points back. They call the
points “Carats” in this app.
Fronto
Lockscreen App: This app has a lot of ways to get
rewarded on top of the unlocking points. I can download apps, watch ads,
and other tasks. Cashing out for a $20 Amazon Gift Card gives the most
per point earned compared to lower cashout amounts.
Zeaton
Lockscreen App: I use this as well with the other
lockscreen apps. It pays $5 every 50,000 points. It is rolling out
new programs to increase the points/swipe, too, like surveys and swipe tasks.
I get 15 points every swipe, at least, plus 20 points per 15 second view
I watch, plus they have other tasks and opportunities to make even more, and
the points add up fast. It’s surveys are super easy to do and award the
most points, so don’t miss out on those opportunities when they show up!
MooLocker
App: A lockscreen app that has you download apps or
other tasks from the lockscreen. Some apps only need to be installed and
opened once (keep the apps running for at least 5 minutes to finalize the
tasks), others require keeping them on the phone for at least 3 days to be paid
out. It is one of the faster earning apps I have as a lockscreen. I
made $10 my first week using it since I went for every task the lockscreen gave
me.
S’more Lockscreen
App: This app awards 10 points per day
($0.10/day value). You can cash out any amount at any time towards an
Amazon gift card. I use it on a spare phone since it awards without
having to use it more than once or twice per day.
The Panel
App is super easy, install it, and let it run in
the background. It pays points per day and you can get gift cards for those
points. I usually get the $25 Amazon gift cards through it (15,000 points).
That is the highest payout for the least amount of points.
ScreenWiseTrends
Panel is run by Google and basically it tracks your
search history... which they basically already do. So why not get paid for it?
When you first sign up you will receive a First Week Install Incentive which is
based on how many devices you attach it to. The number of devices attached also
affects the rest of the weekly Incentives, up to $3/week. Cash out minimum is
at $25.
ControlMySMS sends random texts periodically and pays you for each text
it sends. It pays up to $12/month by letting it do its thing. I
don’t have to do anything at all once it is installed and set up. It may
require a data/texting plan in order to receive the texts from them to earn
money per text.
SmartPhoneMate runs in the background of your phone and pays $3-5 in Amazon
gift cards per month.
Nielsen
Mobile also runs in the background of your phone. It
awards points per month that can be used to get gift cards or other prizes.
Points per month vary, and they offer different rewards at different
values of points.
Mobile
Performance Meter & Mobile Experience Meter are two apps that run in the background of your phone and
reward points. You can get around $5-10 in gift cards per month when using
both. May require that your phone have a data plan. I have used the
apps on phones without a data plan, but some friends are telling me it hasn’t
worked for them. I know their support team has told me they are very
picky about not only what phones they approve but also locations and other
factors to approve activating the accounts to start earning points.
Mobile Media
Insiders is another app that runs in the background. It
rewards points to use towards gift cards. You can link 2 smartphones and one
tablet to earn ~400-500 per week. That is literally $4-5 in gift cards per week
earned when maximizing its usage. Make sure that each smartphone and
tablet are within a close enough distance to a TV when it is on so they can
track the shows you watch. You get surveys for extra points as well.
Drizzle SMS
App I get paid for every text I send and receive
with Drizzle. They also have an alarm clock, and an app to get paid for
downloading apps and other tasks. I made $5/month using the SMS app, and
over $15/month using their app downloading app. Currently under maintenance and not working until they finish
doing their upgrades with it.
ChargerPay runs when you are charging your phone/tablet and not using
it. It plays ads during that time and starts accruing points. Every
100,000 points pays about $3.50-$5. On one device, I have accrued about
5,000 in about 4 hours. In a 24 hour period, that could reach 30,000
points. I have gotten paid over $30/month since using it. I use an app
with it to keep the screen on all the time as well as diminish the screen
brightness to use less power, called Power On. Without it, usually the
screen will time out after 30 minutes and the points stop accruing until I turn
the screen back on.
App
Downloading Apps:
CashPirate: Would you like to earn money by trying new free apps and
games? 1.) Install CashPirate (link below 2.) Enter my referral code "PRBKHE"
at signup. 3.) You get +50% coins for the first 1000 coins you earn (= 500
coins bonus) and can start making money right away! I cash out at $5
increments since it is the most efficient use of coins.
WHAFF is another app that pays to download apps, which I like more
than CashPirate but I still use both. It pays $0.05-$0.10 per app download that
you open, if it is in their premium list. It then pays for daily use of 4
minutes or more, and a daily keep it on your phone payment. Plus you get paid
for using apps daily that you might already be using! After it is down paying
out for use and keeping it on your phone, you can uninstall the apps you don’t
want to keep using. Watch out for having any VPN
or anything like that is running on your phone at the same time as using this
app!
They also
recently released a lockscreen app. Once I get my account resolved, I am
going to try it out and add info here about it.
TryMyApps is the quickest earning app testing program. In about
a month I made about $35 from it, and it has not slowed down. Download
the apps using their app store search keywords. You get rewarded the
money after running the app for at least 4-5 minutes (usually $0.20/per app).
And then some of the apps pay extra by playing them daily for up to 5
days in a row ($0.02/day)..
Cash
Yourself is another app from Zeaton, but payout is a
little different. It pays out 5 points every 5 hours if you check in
often enough to get it every 5 hours. It also has surveys that pop up
that pay a few hundred points as well. It is pretty easy to get the
points. $1=1000 points. Cashout minimum is $5.
Bitit App is another app to download and play apps but it pays you in
Bitcoin! I have earned at least $1-2 worth of bitcoin/week. It has
daily rewards for checking in, you can use the downloaded apps up to 5 days in
a row for extra points towards bitcoins. And you can watch videos or do
other tasks for points, too. App may be down
as I am unable to cashout for bitcoin at this time. I will update on the
status soon.
FreeMyApps is another great tool to download apps for points along with
other tasks.
BestReviewApp, Reviewers can get bonuses between $0.50 to $1.50 by
writing reviews of Android and iTunes apps. I’ve made $50 in a week from this,
but the amount varies depending on the apps they have available for review. You
also get the money back for the paid apps you review in iTunes and Google Play!
It pays to your PayPal account on Fridays. Register as a reviewer by the url
below, you can get $0.50 immediately:
Beneficial
for Students:
BrowserU is a program that helps pay off student loans through
different tasks and then contributions made from advertisers for browsing on
the website. So far I am getting $1,150 paid off of my student loans from
this site and could potentially get $2,000 from doing this. Like a
scholarship that will go directly to your student loans once your spot comes
up. I was at spot #641 when I started. The more people sign up and
use it as well as their browsing site (it would replace Google search on
Chrome), the sooner you get paid out. Those in line get paid out from the
use of searches and other tools from the site.
WayUp is great for students who want to make some easy extra money
doing different projects at their schools, like posting flyers, organizing
events and groups, etc.
MindSumo - students solve problems for companies and win cash for
good ideas. The experience and prizes are awesome. They are always
expanding into new programs and possibilities, like freelance gigs, challenges,
etc.
Bitcoin
Earning Programs:
Qoinpro is more for fun. I have made a few bucks/month worth of
different cryptocurrency over the past year with it, though. It automatically
starts sending you bitcoin bits without having to do anything.
Freebitcoin is an hourly bitcoin lottery. I have made anywhere
from $0.25 to $5.00 worth of bitcoin per week. One time I made a few
hundred worth of bitcoin because of getting a few high lottery payouts!
Moon Bitcoin is also one of the easiest bitcoin faucets I use. It
accrues whether you do anything or not. All you have to do is claim it to
have it sent to your bitcoin wallet.
Bitter.io: This is pretty simple. All I do is have a tab
open in Chrome, and run each site this program suggests, and it pays out a few
bits here and there. It adds up faster than you think.
Additional
Programs for Gift Cards, Points, and Cash:
Kickfurther is like Kickstarter, but you invest money to get paid
interest rather than getting product. You get a $5 sign up bonus and then
another $10 by linking your bank account. Minimum investment amount is
$20, but you end up only investing a minimum $5 to earn the $15 plus the
interest on the investment when it pays out. You can start investing
small and grow as your returns grow, too. I have thousands invested
through Kickfurther and weekly, I am seeing my money come back and the interest
as well. I have made gains of a few hundred dollars at an annual rate
that easily beats good market rates (currently a 30% annual rate)..
SparkProfit and Tiql are fun investing app/websites where you can
make gains or losses (a simulation, or investing real money), and the bigger
the gains, the more you get in actual money rewards. I bring in anywhere
from $10-20/week per program depending on how good my trading skills are.
JStock
Android – Stock Market is an app to track your
investments and has great tools and information to help you make your beer
money grow if you decide to invest it. I invest most of mine through
RobinHood and use JStock to figure out which stocks to buy and sell so I make
my beer money grow even more!
VidFall It’s a great place to grab deals on gift cards like Amazon
and Best Buy and even some tech items like an iPad Air. I know you like a great
deal as much as I do, so you can check VidFall out by clicking my referral link
below. Even better, if you decide to grab an item, we’ll each get 50,000
rewards points! Those points are good for $5 off our next purchase!
HitPredictor is fun for those into testing out new music. I enjoy
it cause I get $5 Amazon gift cards periodically (recently once a week, on
Wednesdays) for listening to 10-15 song samples and providing a little review
of them. (They will email you when those contests come up). They also have contests for $50-100 Amazon gift cards as well
as Hidden Song contests for $25 iTunes gift cards (I use those to buy the paid
apps on BestReviewApp).
SliceThePie is similar to HitPredictor, except it earns you actual cash
per review rather than points. The higher quality the reviews, the more
you get paid, too. You can also get invites to bonus opportunities and
higher payout specials as you get your review rating higher.
FunBills is a way to track bills, pay them, and do other things
(surveys, competitions, etc.) to earn points called FunBux. These fun
bucks can be cashed out or used towards paying bills. If you use them
towards paying bills, they are worth more than the amount you would get just
cashing them out.
Google
Surveys does periodical surveys that pay out in Google
Play credit. I have gotten some amazing android apps all paid for because of
this program. I use the Google Play money to buy the apps from BestReviewApp as
well as buying the pro versions of apps I really like.
Swagbucks (most people already use it or know what it is) is one of
the better payout websites. You can do surveys, sign up for stuff,
download games, and use coupons and get rewarded in points. You get
points for using the Coupons!!!!! I don’t bother with the surveys since they are coin toss of
getting approved to complete them or not.
Grindabuck is another thing like Swagbucks: It has a few more ways to earn points towards gift cards and
other rewards. I get the most per point by getting bitcoin through it.
Snap, the grocery app from Groupon.
1) Download
Snap.
2) Buy your
favorite products at the grocery store
3) Snap a pic
of your receipt for instant cash back
Receipt Hog to get paid to take pictures of my receipts. Check it out!
You can earn up to 100 coins per week, and the max amount you can cash out is
$30 for 4500 (the least amount of coins per dollar).
ReceiptPal is another app like Receipt Hog, but you can send it your
e-receipts for online purchases and the points add up faster. You can
earn up to 300 points per week. I forward all my e-receipts to them from
my Amazon purchases. The best exchange of points per dollar is 19000
points for $100 gift card or PayPal.
Shopmium for iPhone or Android
Ibotta: It's a free app that pays you cash for buying your favorite
products.
FushionCash can get you money really fast. You can basically get $0.50
per app download, no limits to how many you download and open per day. You can
easily make $20/day if they offer enough apps. There are other activities,
surveys, videos, etc, to add to the revenue. They offer a $5 signup bonus
and a $0.50 text verification bonus, when using my referral link. And you
can cash out at a minimum $1!
Azearning: Azearning is an amazing app to earn money. It is one of the
simplest and fastest ways to earn PayPal money. It pays you the money once you
share the news or complete the small tasks. It gives you daily check in
bonuses. You are getting $3 in sign up and $0.50 per referral (for the
first 2 referrals) plus a percentage of the earnings of all your referrals!
You can redeem your earnings via PayPal (minimum $20). Use code 8QP5MM
for an extra $1 for signing up:
GomezPeer runs on your computer in the background. I am making about
$0.15 per day by doing nothing except letting it run:
eBesucher sends emails or other minimal effort things to do and pays
you for it. I have made a few bucks each month from just receiving and
reading the emails they send. Hardly takes more than 30 seconds per
email. They have a few other services to create a revenue, too.
WealRo: Using an innovative AI programming to help manage my savings
and investments. I put in my beermoney and let it work on making it grow
more valuable. Signing up enters you for a chance to win an iWatch and a
year of free services from WealRo!
Offer Nation: Works similar to Swagbucks, Grindabuck, and others.
But this one also does daily rewards, so hardly any work to build up
points and it has one of the lowest cashout minimums of many of these sites at
$1.00 USD. It works globally as well.
