How To Make Money With Smartphone Apps: 10 To Consider

In today’s increasingly tech-oriented world, people are finding more and more creative ways of making a bit of extra cash on the go. This might simply mean taking advantage of increased technological mobility for freelance opportunities, or it might mean something a bit more specific. However, more and more, we’re starting to see opportunities for making money simply by downloading and using apps – for surveys, games, rewards programs, etc. So here are our top-10 iOS apps for making an extra buck.

1. Field Agent – This is a task-related advertising app that gives you assignments in your local area. An example might be photographing a display or collection at a local store, and writing a few words about it. You’re then paid directly for the service, through PayPal.
2. Receipt Hog – All you have to do is photograph your grocery store receipts to earn “coins,” which you can then withdraw as cash, or donate to a partnered charity.
3. iPinion – This iOS app simply gives you points for completing market research surveys. Each 100 points translates to $1.00, and you are paid via PayPal.
4. Cash4Books – Great for students, the app from Cash4Books.net lets you scan book barcodes, ship for free, and receive cash in return. It’s a great way to net some cash at the end of a semester!
5. GymPact – This is a workout incentive that can pay you. Users schedule gym time and wager $5-$50 for every workout missed. People who make it to all scheduled workouts then profit from the expenses of those who miss time.
6. EasyShift – Much like Field Agent, this app has you complete tasks in your area. With EasyShift, however, you can be “promoted” to higher earning tasks.
7. Betfair Apps – The Bet Fair online casino has numerous apps available that can help you to make a bit of money with a bit of risk. From sports betting to poker gambling, there are various fun opportunities to put actual cash on the line.
8. Checkpoints – You can’t earn cash, but simply by scanning the barcodes of products you purchase, you can earn points that apply to gift cards at popular retailers.
9. Zumu – This is basically “Cash4Books,” but for electronics. Sell your old DVDs, games, and even CDs just by scanning barcodes and taking advantage of free shipping.
10. Phewtick – This is a social app designed to make you money through advertising. Basically, Phewtick lists locations where points are available, and your only job is to log in and find a spot, and then go meet other users there. While you’re meeting people, you scan the Phewtick QR at the location and earn points that translate to cash!
