Want To Cash In On Gaming? There’s An App For That

Written by Chloe Harwood

Making money is about as essential to us as the oxygen we breathe. We need money to survive and currently, times are hard. We are rarely away from our smartphones and technology may just be the reason you earn some extra cash to see you through the hardest times.

There are apps aplenty in the marketplace and app store, and while there is a lot to choose from it’s not always easy to know which apps can line your pockets a little and see you earn some extra cash. There may be apps that can do this for you, from online games to surveys that earn you vouchers for websites. It can be hard to sift through the genuine apps that earn you money and those that are outright scams, but that’s why we’ve put together the following list for you of apps that can line your pockets a little. Of course, most apps require your personal information in exchange for paying out – but it’s likely you are already okay with that given you have to give up personal data to even download them in the first place. So, if you’re looking for some extra income on that commute, why not look at these apps for guidance?

Pact. If you’re heavily into healthy behaviours and an active lifestyle, you’ll like Pact. It’s a little unusual for a money-making app, but it helps you to focus on sticking to your exercise routines – which we all need from time to time. You earn cash by living the healthy way that you committed to at the start, and for each day that you stick to it, you earn money. You get paid by those who haven’t met their targets, and while the reviews say you won’t make too much more than a couple of hundred dollars a year, if it’s going to keep you on track with a healthy lifestyle then it cannot be all bad!

Foap. If you are a budding photographer, then open your eyes to this one. It’s a simple concept: you take photos, upload them and sell them for cash. You sell your pictures through the Foap marketplace for ten dollars each photo. As the creator, you get half of each photo you sell so your earnings are mostly up to you. You get the chance to market the beautiful photos you take, and you can benefit from it, too. Win-win for those who want their names out there!

Mobee. Not quite a global app phenomenon, as it’s only available for the US users out there. But for those who love to do a little mystery shopping, this one is going to help you earn money for it. You can complete missions on a little local map of stores they are interested in learning about, and then you gain points to exchange for rewards.

Earning money from your smartphone has become far easier. So, the next time you hear someone lamenting the amount of time you spend on your phone, you now can tell them you’re earning cash while you do it!
