These Smartphone Side Hustles Can Increase Your Income
Did you know that your smartphone has unlimited potential when it comes to side hustles? Here are just some examples of apps that can help you start earning side cash today.
Over 2,000 programs and adding every day.
Yes, it’s great to get on your cell phone and check your social media. And it’s also fun to check out YouTube videos, listen to Spotify or Pandora, and send the occasional text. But what if you sacrificed a bit of that leisurely time spent on your phone and used it to make money?
It’s a lot easier than you think. And if you need some examples to get you started, here they are:
Receipt Hog
How many pictures do you take with your cell phone each day? Regardless of the answer, you can do the same via the Receipt Hog app and get paid for your pics.
As you can tell by its name, Receipt Hog has you snap pictures of your receipts. In doing so, you earn digital coins that can be converted into gift cards and cash. And while you’re on the app, you can use it to complete surveys and enter contests to up your earnings too.
Jobs2Shop
Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a mystery shopper? You probably have since it’s one of the oldest “Internet jobs” around that’s been advertised for years.
With the Jobs2Shop app, you can find mystery shopping gigs at local shops and restaurants. Once you complete them and give your feedback, you can get paid.
Beyond mystery shopping, Jobs2Shop also gives you the chance to earn as you shop online or by redeeming digital coupons. And it also offers old-fashioned surveys and fun games as its money-making methods.
EasyShift
Here’s another mystery shopping app. You can complete tasks that involve checking prices, reviewing promotions, and taking pictures of products. No experience is necessary, and you can get paid within 48 hours of completing your first job.
Gift Card Granny
Many of the apps on this list compensate you with gift cards. So speaking of gift cards, what if you have several sitting in your home that you’ve never used? Maybe someone gave them to you, and you don’t like that restaurant or store. Or maybe you simply forgot you had them.
Regardless, you can sell those unwanted gift cards to Gift Card Granny. And if you think you’ll get ripped off, think again, as you can redeem up to 92 percent of each card sold.
Gigwalk
Do you want to make the most of your free time? With Gigwalk downloaded to your phone, you can do just that.
The app will show you local gigs that can be completed in a matter of minutes to a few hours. And their compensation ranges from $3 to $100.
This is a great side hustle to earn extra income as you can find gigs that fit your schedule. And unlike an extra part-time job, you’re less likely to get bored by completing different tasks every time.
