How To Earn Money Through Apps: Top 6 Methods With No Investment

Did you know you can make money through apps? There are countless apps on the Google Play Store and App Store that can help you earn money with a few flexes of your fingers. You can play games, answer questions, watch videos, or perform other simple tasks to gain monetary rewards. And the best part is that it takes zero investment! Could earning money get any easier? We don’t think so.

Below are some techniques apps employ to help you earn money, along with recommendations of the top apps that you can give a try.

1. Filling out surveys

   

   Filling out surveys

   Survey apps pay you to provide your feedback on various topics. The data collected from the surveys is mainly used for market research by either the app itself or external market research specialists. Brands or companies, for instance, use the survey data to understand the users’ response to their products or services.

   A popular example of survey apps is Google Opinion Rewards, where you get rewarded for sharing your opinion on market research surveys. The app offers surveys randomly, and you get credited depending on various factors such as the time required to answer the survey, the length of the survey, etc.

   Other similar apps are Surveytime, Poll Pay, LifePoints, and Swagbucks.

2. Playing games

   

   Playing games

   Yes. You can get paid to play games on your phone. Get Paid To Play (GPT-Play) apps sell display space to game owners. When you play a game on a GPT-Play app, you gain rewards that can be redeemed in the form of gift cards, prepaid visa cards, etc. This in turn is profitable to both game owners and GPT-Play apps. The game sales increase as more users start to play the game and leave reviews, and more game owners are encouraged to use GPT-Play apps.

   The one minor drawback of this system is that game owners collect user data, such as login information, which one might find unsafe. However, this shortcoming is trivial as the data is not personal and would only be used to show users more targeted advertisements. It’s safe to say that online earning through mobile apps is child’s play (pun intended).

   Examples of popular GPT-Play apps are Qureka, Swagbucks, Roz Dhan, and Mode Earn (previously called Current Rewards).

3. Selling your pictures

   

   Selling your pictures

   Here’s the simplest way to earn money through apps - the pictures you take on vacation and the photos you click during your morning walk, you can sell them and get cash in return. Mobile apps pay you to upload, sell, and resell high-quality, attractive photos in exchange for monetary benefits. You can earn at least $5 each time someone buys one of your photos. Great! Isn’t it?

   Shutterstock (Shutterstock Contributor on the Play Store) is an app that lets you make money by selling your photos worldwide. You can submit your photographs on the platform and get paid every time a user downloads them from Shutterstock.

   Some other apps that let you sell photos are FOAP, EyeEm, Dreamstime, Etsy, and 500px.

4. Walking

   

   Walking

   Nothing better than getting paid to stay healthy! There are Android and iOS apps that pay their users to walk. Some apps offer reward points that can be redeemed for cash, gift cards, or branded goods, while others help you with fundraising and collecting an amount for charity donations. Apps like Weight Loss Bet HealthyWage also let you participate in fitness challenges and earn rewards.

   Other similar apps that pay you to walk include SweatCoin, StepBet, MapMyFitness, and StepSetGo.

5. Selling your old stuff

   

   Selling your old stuff

   If you have a lot of things that you no longer use, it’s a good option to give them up, especially in exchange for money. An example of such an app is BookScouter, where you can sell your old books - textbooks, novels, and other used books. All you have to do is enter the ISBN. The app will quote the price from different vendors, and you can choose the best price to sell.

   Similarly, you can sell other stuff on apps like FreeUp, Letgo, and Poshmark.

6. Using Sikka
