Make Money with Apps

Making money with apps on your tablet or smartphone is getting more popular every day. It is a quick and easy way to build up a little side income.

Make money with apps: earn money from your lock screen

You can earn money from your smartphone's lock screen with an app like Slidejoy. It takes very little effort to earn a few dollars.

After you sign up, the app shows a small ad on your lock screen before you unlock your phone. Each ad is tailored to the user's interests. You then swipe the lock screen right or left to unlock, depending on whether you want more information about the offer.

Whether you swipe the ad away or take a closer look at the offer - you earn so-called carats for each ad. You can collect them and exchange them for cash or for vouchers. You can have the amount paid out via PayPal or donate it to charities and nonprofit organizations.

Make money with apps: get paid for completing micro-jobs

With an app like Streetspotr you complete small tasks, so-called micro-jobs. These are assignments you accept through the app, complete on your own, and get a fixed payment for.
You need to register before you can complete tasks. After that, you can see which tasks are available near where you live. Tasks like these might involve taking photos at a public place or checking whether a certain product is available at the supermarket. Once you submit the information through the app, you have already completed the task successfully.
Each task earns a set number of street points, which can vary depending on the effort involved. Street points can then be converted into money, which you can have paid out to your PayPal account. Making money with apps is usually a bit harder here, since tasks are not available for every location nearby.

Make money with apps: solving tasks

Solving tasks with apps also counts as micro-jobs. The app appJobber is one where you complete small tasks. You can do small, simple tasks in your area and in your hometown through the app and make money with apps that way. The available jobs are marked on the map in the app, along with how much each one pays. You can, for example, visit the location as part of a walk around town. The tasks usually consist of taking photos of products or finding out particular opening hours.
Once you have completed the job and entered the required information in the app, you can have the money paid out to your PayPal account.
