When figuring out your family budget, it’s sometimes easier to figure out how to bring in more money vs. cut more money. If you don’t have the time to pick up a side gig or the skills to open an Etsy shop, there’s a simple way to earn more cash: by utilizing apps. Yes, there are actually apps that pay you money for real!
Apps That Pay You Money For Real! A Great Side Hustle for Stay at Home Moms
Although it might sound like a scam, it definitely isn’t. Companies can easily get customer feedback by outsourcing surveys and shopping through popular apps, so these apps are able to get customers (you) to do easy tasks in exchange for gift cards, discounts, or cash from those stores. While it probably isn’t going to add up to a side income, you can get significant discounts on items that you were going to buy anyway. These small amounts of money can quickly add up, especially on things like household items or drive-through coffee. Instead of feeling the need to cut your weekly latte, make it a goal to only pay for it with app-earned money!
Here are a few suggestions of apps to start getting paid with.
Apps That Pay You Money For Doing Work
Pact
Working on hitting some goals this year? Download Pact, an app that pays you for checking things off your to-do list. Verified by GPS, photos, and other means, Pact allows you to set a goal and earn a few dollars a week for actually achieving your results. But if you fail to meet your goals, you have to pay so beware! If you’ve been having a hard time hitting exercise or volunteering goals, for example, this app is a great way to both keep you on track and grow your bank account.
DietBet
If you’re trying to lose weight, turn it into a money maker with DietBet. You and a few friends can begin a “game” that serves as both weight loss motivation and a little extra money in your bank account. Simply submit a full body photo, suggest your “level”, and start competing to see who can lose the most weight. The best part is, there’s no one “winner” anyone who achieves their goals gets some of the pot that everyone’s put money into.
Job Spotter
If you’re out and about and see a Job Wanted sign, simply take a photo and submit it to the app. Once it’s approved, you earn Amazon credit, which is as good as cash for most moms! It may not bring in a ton of cash flow, but it’s an easy way to earn a little bit of Amazon credit without putting in a ton of effort.
Apps That Pay You Money For Taking Surveys
iPoll
Need an extra few bucks? iPoll sends you 15-20 minute surveys that earn you everything from magazine subscriptions to airline miles to actual cash. Just fill out the surveys and receive your rewards.
Google Opinion Rewards
Google Opinion Rewards sends you simple questionnaires that allow you to earn a few dollars back. Most of the surveys tend to be focus group-type questions (Like, “Which color of this product appeals to you more?”)
Survey Mini
The downside of Survey Mini is that it gives you gift cards instead of cash, but the major upside is that its surveys are short. For no more than 11 questions, you can earn coupons and gift cards to some of your favorite places.
Apps That Pay You Money For Shopping
Mobee
Have you ever wanted to be a mystery shopper? Back when I was working retail, I always had to be on my game in case one of my customers was a “mystery shopper” my company hired to evaluate my performance. Mobee connects wannabe mystery shoppers to stores looking for evaluations. It’s an easy way to earn a few bucks and help businesses in your area improve.
Ibotta
Ibotta is an app that allows you to earn cash back for performing simple tasks, like watching a video or reading a fact about a product. Then, you earn special offers on items and cash in. It’s a super simple app that will help you save money on things you were planning on buying anyway. Get a $10 Bonus when you sign up through Rookie Moms – Sign up Here
ShopKick
ShopKick helps you earn gift cards just for walking into stores like Target and Walmart. You earn “kicks”, which can be turned into gift cards for those places. You can also earn kicks by submitting a picture of your receipt or scanning a certain item with the app. Although it isn’t cash, it doesn’t take long to earn small gift cards to some places that you already shop regularly. Make sure to follow the app on social media they’re regularly posting new ways to get kicks. Use Code: Gift855852 to receive a free gift card! Sign up Now! It’s Free
