Apps That Pay You Money For Real! A Great Side Hustle for Stay at Home Moms

Although it might sound like a scam, it definitely isn’t. Companies can easily get customer feedback by outsourcing surveys and shopping through popular apps, so these apps are able to get customers (you) to do easy tasks in exchange for gift cards, discounts, or cash from those stores. While it probably isn’t going to add up to a side income, you can get significant discounts on items that you were going to buy anyway. These small amounts of money can quickly add up, especially on things like household items or drive-through coffee. Instead of feeling the need to cut your weekly latte, make it a goal to only pay for it with app-earned money!

Here are a few suggestions of apps to start getting paid with.

Apps That Pay You Money For Doing Work

Pact

Working on hitting some goals this year? Download Pact, an app that pays you for checking things off your to-do list. Verified by GPS, photos, and other means, Pact allows you to set a goal and earn a few dollars a week for actually achieving your results. But if you fail to meet your goals, you have to pay so beware! If you’ve been having a hard time hitting exercise or volunteering goals, for example, this app is a great way to both keep you on track and grow your bank account.

DietBet

If you’re trying to lose weight, turn it into a money maker with DietBet. You and a few friends can begin a “game” that serves as both weight loss motivation and a little extra money in your bank account. Simply submit a full body photo, suggest your “level”, and start competing to see who can lose the most weight. The best part is, there’s no one “winner” anyone who achieves their goals gets some of the pot that everyone’s put money into.

Job Spotter

If you’re out and about and see a Job Wanted sign, simply take a photo and submit it to the app. Once it’s approved, you earn Amazon credit, which is as good as cash for most moms! It may not bring in a ton of cash flow, but it’s an easy way to earn a little bit of Amazon credit without putting in a ton of effort.

Apps That Pay You Money For Taking Surveys

iPoll

Need an extra few bucks? iPoll sends you 15-20 minute surveys that earn you everything from magazine subscriptions to airline miles to actual cash. Just fill out the surveys and receive your rewards.

Google Opinion Rewards

Google Opinion Rewards sends you simple questionnaires that allow you to earn a few dollars back. Most of the surveys tend to be focus group-type questions (Like, “Which color of this product appeals to you more?”)

Survey Mini

The downside of Survey Mini is that it gives you gift cards instead of cash, but the major upside is that its surveys are short. For no more than 11 questions, you can earn coupons and gift cards to some of your favorite places.

Apps That Pay You Money For Shopping

Mobee

Have you ever wanted to be a mystery shopper? Back when I was working retail, I always had to be on my game in case one of my customers was a “mystery shopper” my company hired to evaluate my performance. Mobee connects wannabe mystery shoppers to stores looking for evaluations. It’s an easy way to earn a few bucks and help businesses in your area improve.

Ibotta

Ibotta is an app that allows you to earn cash back for performing simple tasks, like watching a video or reading a fact about a product. Then, you earn special offers on items and cash in. It’s a super simple app that will help you save money on things you were planning on buying anyway. Get a $10 Bonus when you sign up through Rookie Moms – Sign up Here
