Passive Earning Through Data Apps





For the past few years, I have installed and uninstalled plenty of mobile apps in my journey to find the "best of the best" for whatever my individual needs are. My mobile apps range from online gaming to pretty much anything under the sun that is suggested by affiliate marketing "experts" and professional bloggers alike as well as the random apps I run across that catches my attention.

As you probably know by now in your own search of those golden egg laying geese, a lot of these apps will never allow you to quit your full time job since they are designed to draw money in for themselves by keeping the user engaged in the app for as long as possible. 

However, there are a few apps that I have come across that are worth mentioning which takes minimal effort. As I stated earlier, they will not make you rich, but they also do not require you to do much more than simply open the app maybe once a day. It is up to you to decide if you would like to take it a step further and go into some of the more time-consuming tasks for that extra boost in earnings.

DATA APPS:

Mobile Performance Meter



This app is very minimalistic as far as engagement. As soon as you open the app, it will show you a very clean and simple interface which includes your current earning in "Meter Points". As of now, mine shows 1894 points, which is enough for me to cash in for a Virtual Visa Card for $10.00 (1000 Meter Points value); however, I plan on waiting for it to reach at least $25.00 (2500 Meter Points), unless I need a bit of cash right away.

Basically, you get 10 meter points every day without you even needing to interact with the app at all. The app rarely shuts off, but on those occasions when it does stop for some reason or other, you will get a notification that your meter has stopped running. All you need to do is open the app and you are back to earning your 10 points a day.

There is a referral program which will earn you 300 meter points, which is a HUGE boost! So far, I've had 2 referrals go through, which was a pleasant surprise to see. With those 2 referrals, I was able to cash out at least one time already. Presently, I am working on my second payout. I did mention that it would take time, so, again, don't expect to get rich.

The second page is the "Rewards" page which is where you can take part in surveys if you choose to do so. I personally have not taken part in the surveys since I am not a "survey" lover. But, I am sure they do work and pay out the allotted points that is offered. 

The last page is the "History" which shows you all of your actions. Mine shows just daily meter points as well as the monthly ones. It goes as far back as the past 2 months of usage, so you can track your daily earnings.

The rewards program offers gift cards to many, MANY popular stores and restaurants as well as the Virtual Visa Card I mentioned. The only down side is that it does not offer a payment straight to your paypal.


Honeygain



Honeygain is another simple data collecting app that runs in the background. It is also very clean and minimalistic in it's interface and user engagement.

There are only two screens to toggle between: the Home screen which has a very simple interface that features animated beehive with cute little bees flying around it to indicate that the bees are gathering data and another screen labeled "more" which features your transaction history, settings, how it works, and help buttons as well as log out button.

You will want to check the settings every now and then when you don't see your honeygain app as being active on your notification page. When that happens, simply open the app and go to settings where you will need to make sure the "Share Internet" button is flipped back on.

There is an opportunity to "win" a few more points each day...almost like a "log in". The points through the "win" opportunity is random. I was lucky enough to open the win and earn 1000 points. Some days it will be 10 points, others will be 20 or 50.

There are no surveys available, but, this app can be installed on your laptop as well, which helps you to earn more and faster. I have not done the download, so, I can't give a review on how well that works or not. I am still working on my first payout which is likely to happen soon.
Again, it is a slow way to earn, but in all fairness, you literally do not do anything, so again, it is free money.

Lock Screen Rewards

S'More



S'more is another semi-passive earning app which rewards you for opening your lock screen. If you don't mind having ads on your lock screen, then you will be rewarded with 10 points per day when you interract with the S'More screen lock.

S'More does have other ways to earn as well, which includes watching videos, referring friends, downloading apps, playing games, and the good ol' offer wall.

Playing games through this app is really not worth the time or effort since the point value is very low co.lared to other apps such as Mistplay or even Giftloop.  Playing games through Current Music app is even better than S'More. 

I usually just run the lock screen and not bother with anything else, but again, it is up to you if you prefer to put in the extra time for more points.

Current Music App



This is one I mention constantly in nearly every post only because I average $20 roughly every week or slightly over a week depending on how attentive I am and if I decide to take it a step further by doing a few surveys or not.


I LOVE music to begin with and can listen to it consistently through every waking minute, if possible. With so many choices for tailored internet radio stations, it would be impossible to NOT find a station that quickly becomes your constant "go-to". Mine just so happens to be "The Blast" which plays a LOT of Skillet and TFK (Thousand Foot Krutch", which are my favorite bands to date. 
There are so many opportunities to boost your earnings if you are willing to dedicate some effort and time into the app.

It does have it's own lock screen which dominates any other lock screen you may have running, however, it does not interfere with your other lock screens earning potential. In other words, You can have this running along with S'More and other lock screen apps. You may run into issues if you have too many lock screens running, but so far, I had been able to run at least 3 with no problems.

Current pays you in rewards as well in numerous ways and from my personal experience, is the highest paying app that I have come across for minimal effort. The only thing you have to make sure of is that you restart your music app and go through the check in for restarting music streams every hour.

It is also a good idea to make sure to have your phone charging when not in use, because even if it reads 100% on battery life, you still earn points for having it connected to your charger. The cap is 420 charging points, which usually takes 8 hours. The awesome thing is that you can keep the music app running while you are doing other things in your phone (except when playing Warhammer:Chaos and Conquest...then the music app shuts off. It also stops when a call comes through, however, once the call ends, the music will start automatically.)

There are a couple of glitches in the app, but really not so inconvenient that it would affect your earning too much. Nor would it make me so upset that I would ever uninstall or give a bad review, because for one app, it really packs a lot of ways to earn fast in so many ways and is very trustworthy as far as being rewarded and paid.  I may sound a bit biased, but, it is because I've been using this app for over a year now and have earned a decent amount of money through it.

Conclusion

There are many apps to earn passive income through depending on how dedicated you are. We live in an age where there are far more opportunities to make money simply by doing what you love than to be forced into the traditional rat race of a "real world" job.

As with every job, there are benefits and down sides. It takes your personal effort and commitment to getting these apps to work for you. There are many ways to make "passive income" through your laptop, pc, tablet, or phone which include affiliate marketing, blogging, or selling online as well as many other avenues, the opportunities are unlimited and can be done altogether. The important thing to keep in mind is that it WILL NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT as a LOT of online influencers will claim in their videos.

Disclosure

I do not make any money off of these app reviews unless you use my referral codes or choose to check out any affiliate links through my posts. These are my honest reviews of what I have personally put time and effort into for my own benefit and I will not recommend anything that I have not personally tested thoroughly. I will not test an app just for a few hours or a couple of days and shoot out a quick review just to have something fresh to post. It would not be fair to you or the app developers to give a shoddy review.

Thank You
