[RustyRabbit]

Their are lots of ways to make money from your phone, lots of survey sites have apps aswell, then others only have apps, I use surveybods & branded surveys mainly on my phone, I also use Mobrog, then on swagbucks they have 7 android apps you can install earning at least 70sb each day. I also get sent lots of surveys via my email which again I can access on my phone, Panelbase are a good survey app, they tell you which devices you can use to take the survey on which is helpful. I also have Instagc , prolific, prizerebel , grabpoints plus a few other apps. The great thing is that I can access these surveys and make money whilst on the go!!

 

[Sprite1950]

I am quite interested in joining iPoll as it's something I haven't considered in the past. If the surveys are short I can tolerate them so I have installed this on my smartphone and will come back to let people know my verdict. I've just checked and it is available on Google Playstore and the reviews are good.

Edit: For me the app was useless as it never got through a survey without an error message so I would lose the whole survey. After a few attempts I uninstalled it. The desktop version however is quite good and I have managed to make around £10 so far. It's a shame the cash out rate is so high but I will keep going.

 

[ahmedo24]

Thanks for listing most of the methods here, I have earned through surveys mostly, I don't watch TV nor videos cos the data consumed is not equivalent to what I earn

 

[ruthmongare]

Thanks for listing those earning methods but please give us example of sites that accepts members worldwide. A site like swag buck is only for the US members and other surveys sites like mobrog aren't quite reliable although they're opened worldwide. Instagc is also for the US citizens. Please give us more example of sites in which even international members can work.

yeah, Good question cos most of the aforementioned sites are restricted and most of us are already aware of Streetbees, Clixsence, bmf, FC, earnthabuck as sites that are currently paying and accepting users worldwide

 

[Iroh_Spirit]

I think those are some good sites. When I get to upgrade my phone soon, I think will use those sites to do some work.

 

[ruthmongare]

I'll suggest some more other sites like ipsos which is a survey site,q&a sites like quiz trivia some research sites like ask wonder among other many earning sites.

[FloydMCD]

I do those tasks sometimes on the toilet Whats better than making a few bucks while doing something you'd have to do anyways.

I basically just watch a few videos or get download some games

 

[NickBlaine]

Thanks for listing those earning methods but please give us example of sites that accepts members worldwide. A site like swag buck is only for the US members and other surveys sites like mobrog aren't quite reliable although they're opened worldwide. Instagc is also for the US citizens. Please give us more example of sites in which even international members can work.

Not to belittle your concerns but I’m starting to notice a bit of hostility with your posts regarding earning methods like this one. The article is about 10 ways to make money with your smartphone and you immediately veer into how reviews are mostly for US-based people only. There are SO MANY reviews here that mention international sites - it’s just a simple matter of reading them. If you don’t know where to start, there’s a search bar specifically for that purpose. I believe there’s also a MOBROG review but you’ve already dismissed it as “unreliable”. Personally, the only way you can truly gauge if a site is useful for you is if you try it. You can only take other people’s opinions with a grain of salt before deciding if it’s something you want to try yourself.

Also, if you have good experiences with earning sites that are available worldwide, again, why not share them so you can help other people instead of DEMANDING that others give you a list like you’re asking to be spoon-fed? It sort of makes me wonder why you kept giving feedback that wasn’t very helpful back when there were ETB points, and now you’ve suddenly gone quiet. It makes you go hmmm.

Would you like some fries and a large coke to go with that?

 

[Naomi]

Thanks for this list on how to earn money using our smartphones, op! I haven’t tried all of those, but I’m definitely going to study this list in greater depth. I kinda reached a slump when it comes to earning method. I’m so glad I found this thread.

Earning via smartphone is great, because I think it’s safe to say most of us are always out and about. Either we’re commuting, stuck in traffic, waiting in line at the grocery, or waiting for out kids. Smartphone earning makes it super easy to make money while stuck at what would be idle time. Earning isn’t just confined to your desk and laptop.

One earning method I did try is watching videos on my smartphone. While the op lists Swagbucks, I’ve been using GrabPoints . Both sites are legit, and you can’t go wrong with either one (although GrabPoints has a slight edge in terms of earning capacity).

If you’re a busy mom or full-time housekeeper, I can say enough how much of a blessing watching videos is. That’s because between household chores and running after my kids, there’s hardly enough time to devote to work. But watching videos was a complete changer for me, because I could watch videos while waiting for my kids or waiting for the laundry to finish. It’s super convenient - not just for full-time moms, but for everyone else, really. Highly recommended!

 

[Burt Maklin]

I use a whole lot of money-making websites and apps on my mobile phone. It’s a great way to earn because I’m not really interested in working 9 to 5 or working for a boring office, period. Er, I’m not lazy or anything like that. I just like the freedom of earning on my cell phone. I still need to hustle and stuff, because rewards sites alone won’t be able to pay the bills (plus I like splurging on beer, lol)

Anyways, like I said I’ve tried different sites and apps, but my favorite methods for earning are watching videos and playing internet “radio.” I heard a bunch a members on ETB use the term “passive income” and I think that’s why I like watching videos and listening to the radio. They’re passive. I don’t need to work too hard on it. But I can still do other stuff while playing the content. When I’m driving I can play the radio (please don’t watch videos while you’re driving!)

When I’m bored waiting for my mom to finish her shopping I can put on some videos and let them play while I wait. I have a tablet with my all the time, so I can play videos on there while I play PUBG on my phone.

Yeah passive income rules!

 

[fan4da48]

If your looking to make good money try apps like Mobee. They are actual tasks at stores in your area. Most of them are taking pictures of products or displays. Use my code 9TCB and you will get a 300 points ($3) bonus when you do your first task. Can cashout as low as $5 thats 500 points. They have bonuses too so check out the Achievements tab at the bottom left on the app. Ive made a ton of money with these types of apps. Since my husband became disabled they come in very handy! Every dollar counts! Check out the website link in article for more info and search for Mobee in your play store, works on android or iphone, and signup and go out and make some cash, easy as that.

 

[reasonable]

I think most of the sites/apps you have listed are not for international people specially for India. For example swagbucks provide only search, survey for Indians, no video offer is accessible to Indians. Can you please tell which few of them is available to Indians. I would love join that APP trailer site. Thanks for sharing such in depth research.

 

[Burt Maklin]

Hi Reasonable. GrabPoints is a good site to try. Although I’m not from India, it looks like a lot of people from that country use the site. The site pays well (some even say it’s the highest-paying rewards site in the world) and has super-fast payment processing. Beyond GrabPoints, there are other rewards sites that allow memberships from all over the world. You can also look into TreasureTrooper. Although I’m not 100% sure, I seem to have read somewhere that anyone in the world can become a TreasureTrooper member. You should look into this – TreasureTrooper also has super-fast payment processing. And then there’s My Survey which also has a global user base. The site has been around for almost 5 years, which tells you they’re legit. And then there’s Global Test Market. Disclaimer: I haven’t checked Global Test Market recently, but with the word “Global” in their name, it’s worth checking out. It would be funny if they used the word Global but didn’t accept members from around the world, lol

But with all that said, you should also do your own research and share your own findings. Everyone in the EarnThatBuck community is super-helpful, but you should also try doing your own research.
