5 Ways To Make Money Using Your Mobile Phone

When you take a look at the world today, you can see how much it has been shaped by technology. Next to changing the way people live, work, and play, it has also affected the way some people make money. 

Next to serious ventures such as taking up an online business, working as a freelancer, or being a blogger with a huge following, there is also a wide variety of micro-jobs that you can do by using certain online apps, that aren’t necessarily a way to earn for a living, but if you know how to use them, they can help you get some extra cash.

Gather info from stores as a Field Agent

First, you have to download the Field Agent app, make your own agent profile. Your jobs will appear in the apps “job list” or you can track them from the “map view”. And what are you going to do? 

You are going to help businesses improve their customer service by gathering information, photos, and videos from stores and other places via your smartphone. 

For example, you may have a hob to go to a store, take a photo of a product, and then answer some questions about it. The money you’ll earn per job is between $3 and $12.

Take surveys

Companies like to learn what you think about various things that matter to them, in order to create statistics and improve various business aspects. 

Most often, they will gather information from the customer base that they have, but there are other ways that they do this too. 

In fact, there is a lot of websites that will pay for you to take surveys. Every business cares about your opinion during their development phase, and they will pay because it will help them know what to focus on.

Become a Tasker in your area

If you’re a good handyman, cleaner, mover, and the like, you can use the Task Rabbit app to find local jobs, with the ability to choose the rates and schedules that you are comfortable with. 

The first thing that you need to do is register, and then you will get an invitation to attend a local Tasker orientation or onboarding session. 

You can then begin doing the tasks by downloading the app and receiving notifications about potential jobs near you. Discuss details with your client, do the job, submit the invoice, and get your money.

Shopping rebates

There is a variety of apps and sites out there that can help you get your money back after you shop. While it’s not really a way of earning money, it can help you save more. Ebates is the most popular shopping rebate app/site. 

When you purchase something from their site, they get a commission from who made the product. But, instead of keeping it, they send you a piece of the commission, and a PayPal payment every quarter. Some rebate apps require you to keep receipts that you have to scan.

Drive people around

We asked the professionals at Personal Digital what their favorite way of making money via your smartphone is, and they suggested using an app like Uber or Lyft to drive people around. 

First you need to register and get accepted, and you have to meet requirements such as being 21+ old, owning a car, and having a car insurance that is valid. You also have to pass a background check. 

After that, you can earn money as a driver – up to $35 an hour with Lyft, and about $19 per hour with Uber.
