This summer, in between spending countless hours teaming up with guild members in SWTOR, I have been working hard on researching these money making apps. I recently found out about such things as "affiliate marketing" and "passive income" over the winter and decided to check it out to see what it was all about. I had already decided to commit to working remotely and have tried to find my special "niche" so to speak. Easier said than done in my case. I was told that I keep getting in my own way and that is why I have not been able to start any real job online.
Like I stated in a previous post, I have been using a few apps for making money for a while and have gotten a few decent payouts; not enough to get rich off of or quit my "day job" of gaming online with my friends, but, I have actually been able to get to the point where I now feel confident enough to maintain an online banking account for not only myself, but for my boys as well. I also felt comfortable enough to begin investing online through Acorns. I've invested a lot of time in these apps to ensure that they are legit and worth passing on to you. As with everything that involves money, you do have to put in a fair amount of work when you start off, but, eventually, things will fall in place.

The first one on my list is one I have talked about before known as Current Music App. I love this app due to the fact that after I put in my selection of groups I love to listen to, a list is curated based on my choices. I can save my online radio stations and the music starts automatically when I go into the app. The app is time based and pays you for the amount of time you listen. Obviously, the longer you listen, the higher your boost goes. I usually run my music all day and sometimes in the middle of the night, but, then again, I love music, so, it doesn't bother me. The other benefit is that it pays you for charging your phone. They have other incentives as well such as a referrals program which rewards you whenever your referrals use the app.
The cons of using the Current Music App is that your timer only counts for an hour, then you have to go through the "check in" process to begin again. The "check in" seems a bit glitchy, but eventually, you do get the timer active again. I've read that some users have experienced their phones running hot a few times while others have not. The other glitch I have experienced is the loss of the "Games" option, however, that could be due to my settings on my phone dealing with "permissions". Payouts can go to your Paypal and usually takes a few days.

Second on my list of favorite apps is CoinOut. It is very straightforward. You open the app, snap pics of your receipts and that's it. You can earn badges to boost your earning potential. I recently took part in one of the badge opportunities and got an extra $15 added to my CoinOut balance as a bonus simply for signing up for a bank account I was already considering. I have to admit, it was a very pleasant surprise. They do pay out through your Paypal, and payment is fairly quick within a couple of days.
The only down side is that you get pennies for every receipt. sometimes you get lucky and get about $.14-$.34 on a couple of random receipts, but for the most part, you can expect around $.01-$.03 on average. While it doesn't seem like much at first, think of it as the traditional piggy bank full of spare pennies you throw in. When you break it open, you find you've saved a total of maybe $50.00 in pennies that you otherwise would not have had. I've gotten a few decent payouts based on how much I wanted to save before I cashed out. Another benefit is the offer wall which rewards you with badges that might add more receipt scans every week or credit you cash rewards straight to your balance.

Third on my list includes those familiar gaming apps such as Mistplay and Tapchamps amongst others. They are all time based and you can literally leave a game running without really interacting too much if you so choose, however, you do have to tap on the screen every now and then to make sure the phone doesn't go to sleep, otherwise, your time will not count. These time based apps take dedication in the form of...well, basically investing time. You eventually wind up playing the games just to pass the time, which is fine if you are playing a game you really enjoy, but can take an eternity on those you downloaded just for quick point bonuses. If you choose to use the mobile gaming platforms, I suggest utilizing at least 3 top rated platforms to build up for 3 separate payouts.
The cons to playing through the mobile gaming platforms is that it does take time, storage, and battery life away from your phone. The majority of my storage space is dedicated to just gaming apps I've downloaded for the gaming rewards platforms. I now have 2 battery packs to keep my phone charged when I am out and about. Will I stop playing on those draining mobile platforms? Probably not so long as I am getting paid.

Last on my list and most recent is BigToken. This has quickly become one of my favorite apps for generating a weekly payout. At the time of writing this post, I have been using the app for about 3 weeks now and am on my third weekly payout. It is a survey app that is strictly related to you and your interests or habits, so the questions are easy to answer. You do not have to worry about spending a ridiculous amount of time on a survey just to find out that you do not qualify, which is very frustrating when it happens constantly. There is a daily check-in along with location check ins which reward you with decent points. The app also has a referral program which rewards you with every action your referral makes in the app. I recently found out about "teams" which gives you even better points for answering the team question. What is really great about this app is that you know exactly where you stand with points, because it actually reflects the amount of money you are accumulating. For example, 348.25 points is equal to $3.48 in cash. You can also see how much you are making off of referrals completing their actions in the app.
