1] Start investing
Investing is a trend and it works well! There are various investment apps that you can install on your phone. You can then buy stocks, wait for their price to increase, and then sell them. A lot of users have this misconception that buying stocks is a long-term investment, it can be if you want; however, it can also be used to earn a few bucks. The following are the better investment apps for you.
- Betterment
- Acorns
- Robinhood
- Ibotta
- Stash
You can check any of the mentioned services to start investing. Do keep in mind that investment is a risky business. You can earn and lose a few as well.
Most investment companies and banks too offer their apps, so check out the ones that are available in your country; see reviews and their reputation and then use one. Upstox, Groww, Fidelity investments, etc. some other apps you can consider.
2] Sell unused and outdated stuff via apps
You might see a few things around you that are not in use or are outdated, maybe an old gadget or an outdated clothing piece. For you, they might be worthless, but for someone, they can be worth something and might want to buy them from you, so, do not shy away from listing them on services such as Decluttr and Poshmark. You may not earn a lot selling unused stuff, but it is still a safe mode to earn money using your mobile app.

3] Trade your privacy
This may sound a bit odd to you, but you can actually earn money by selling your privacy. There are services such as Nielsen that allow you to download an app on your phone and grant the app permission to take note of your daily phone usage. Your data will then be researched to understand the market trend. There are merits and demerits to this way of making money. The perk is that you will earn money without loads of effort at the cost of your privacy, which in itself is a demerit to some. But if money for you is heads and shoulders above your privacy, do give this method a try,
4] Fill out forms and participate in surveys
Data is probably one of the most important commodities, and to get access to it, every company takes a different route. Some brands want first-hand access to the customer’s data by asking them to fill out forms and participate in surveys for money. Following are a few of the top websites where you can fill out forms and earn a few bucks.
- InboxDollars
- Honeygain
- Swagbucks
- Survey Junkies
- Fetch Rewards
There will be some easy questions related to your purchasing pattern that you can fill in while commuting or when you are bored. Since it is not a job, there are no hard and fast rules.
5] Sell your snaps
If you can’t help but take a snap of something you find gorgeous, you might want to earn a few bucks out of it. Many of us don’t know that there is an enormous marketplace where one can sell their photos and earn. You can go to Foap.com/photographer, download the app, create your profile, and then sell your picks for $10. They will take half of it, and you will get the rest.
6] Operate a Shopify Store from your phone
Shopify is an e-commerce service that allows you to operate the store from your fingertips. You can download the Shopify application on your phone, set up the whole store (for that, you may have to use your computer), publish it, and operate the store from your phone. You don’t have to use a computer to do the same. An Android or iOS device will do the job.
7] Play mobile games to earn rewards
Who doesn’t like to earn money and at the same time enjoy the process? Well, we got something for you. You can actually make money or rewards by playing games. This might not sound something exciting to you if you are already aware of the multi-million-dollar competitive gaming market. However, we are not talking about it. There are various online games, such as Mistplay, Pokerstars, and Game of Thrones Slots Casino, where you can play and win money without much expertise.
8] Walk and earn
What if you can do something as simple as walking and earn rewards? There are a lot of apps, such as Sweatcoin, that allow you to walk and earn “Sweat coins”. However, you won’t be able to convert those coins into real money. What you can do is get goods and services such as gadgets, shoes, subscriptions, and more by these coins.
9] Talk and earn
Install apps like Palfish or Nice Talk, have conversations with non-English speakers and get paid for it. You will be paid on a per-minute basis. It could be $10 hourly if you talk for a full hour.
10] Be a social media manager
A lot of companies wants to outsource social media manager due to various reasons. This can be a great opportunity for you if you want to make a living out of your phone. You can contact a few famous social media handles and propose to them your service. Hopefully, you will get a contract and make loads of money.
