Everybody needs a few extra bucks now and then. However, we’re not so foolish as to try to make you believe that you’ll earn a living sitting at home doing nothing. There are no apps that can make you that much money. However, we do know of a few that can make you a buck or two here and there. Over time, that can build up to enough to treat yourself. Here are the best Android apps to make money.
Ebates is a coupon app that will give you cash back on some purchases. The general idea is that you shop for the things you were going to buy anyway. You then use the app to make the purchase instead and it gives you some cash back. It won't make you a millionaire, but it could save you a few bucks and earn you a few bucks at the same time. That's what helps make it one of the more effective apps for making money. It's totally free so it's harmless to try out. This combined with some other apps can help out a lot.
Lots of people have tons of stuff that are worth some money. eBay can help you turn that stuff into actual money. Pretty much everybody knows how eBay works. You put your stuff up on a listing. People then buy it and you ship it out. You can sell pretty much whatever you want from books and cloths to electronics and even furniture or cars. We recommend selling larger items locally because shipping can be challenging, but otherwise this is where you want to start when selling stuff. It's definitely among the best apps to make money.
Many people are artists, tinkerers, and creators of some sort. People like that can use an online shop like Etsy to sell their various arts and crafts. You can find a variety of stuff there and virtually all of it is handmade, limited edition, or one of a kind. Shop owners can sell whatever they want really. The app itself is called Sell on Etsy. It lets you manage your shop, your orders, and your listings. You can also chat with potential buyers and do other stuff. This is a great way for the artistically inclined to make a few bucks. The app will help them do that.
Google Opinion Rewards is a great way to earn a few bucks. Unlike most, the money you earn will only be usable in the Google Play Store. The app works by sending you surveys based on places you've been. You answer the survey questions and then you earn Google Play credit. You can spend the credits on apps and games in Google Play. It's one of the must-have apps to make money. Over a relatively short period of time, many will even be able to afford the super expensive stuff. It's a good way to build up your apps and games collection quickly.
Ibotta is a lot like Ebates. The basic idea with both apps is the same. You do stuff like go grocery shopping and buy the stuff you were going to anyway. The app helps you earn cash back on those purchases. The process is that you pick out things that you're going to buy, go buy them, and then verify the purchase. The app then sends you money via Paypal, Venmo, or gift card. Like most, it's not going to earn you a whole lot of money. However, when used with other apps to make money, you can get a pretty penny. It's worth a shot at least.
Make Money is an app that tries to teach you how to make money from home. Unlike the scam ones where they make bold promises they can't keep, this app tells you what is within the realm of possibility. Along with a list of 60 jobs that you can do from home, it also offers up a list of relevant skills that you'll need to do them. Some of them are easier than others. For instance, starting a blog or a YouTube channel are a couple of the ideas. Despite being two options, they require pretty much the same skills. It's worth looking into at the very least.
Paypal is a powerful platform. Most know it because of eBay. However, you can use the platform to run virtually any business. It can accept payments from virtually anywhere and you can use it to manage invoices, payments, and sales from various websites if you want to. There is another app by PayPal called PayPal Business that is made specifically for small business owners. It won't make you money on its own, but it can help if you have an idea for a business.
Square Point of Sale is an app that lets you accept credit card payments from people. You'll need to get a little device that plugs into your phone, but after that, you can swipe cards and collect money. Using this, you can sell pretty much whatever you want pretty much wherever you want. Like Paypal, the app itself won't generate any money for you. You'll have to find willing customers. However, the ability to accept money in situations where you normally can't is helpful. The app is free to download and signing up gets you a free magstrip reader.
Surveys on the Go is an app that lets you complete surveys for money. Unlike many where you get points or Google Opinion Rewards, this one pays out in cash. Admittedly, there are only a few surveys available during any given month. Thus, don't expect to be rolling in dough. However, it's good for those who just want to earn a few extra bucks here and there. The app itself is a little blandly designed, but it's easy enough to use. It's another one of those must-have apps to make money.
Uber and Lyft are two transportation services. Their apps are used by both drivers and customers. Basically, you become a taxi and people use the app to find you. These apps can provide both full and part time jobs. The money isn't groundbreaking, but it's good enough to be considered a job. There is a process that drivers have to go through before they're hired, but unless you've done some unforgettably horrible things and you have a car, you're pretty much ready to go.
