How to make Money from your phone?

I recently shared a post about passive incomes and side hustles for artist. I wanted to expand on that make another post that is for smartphone users.

These are not all work from home jobs but if all you have is your smartphone it's a start.

foap.com  is an app that lets you take pictures and videos on your smartphone and upload them and sell them as stock images to companies interested in buying them if the pictures have their products in them.

Shutterstock is another great way to make money selling stock photos and other sites like it. Depending on the quality of your smartphone and the pictures you take the amount of money you can make varies.

Dosh.cash Is an app that you link your card to that allows you to get cashback on purchases. But where the real money is when you refer the app to friends and for each person that downloads the app, you earn an additional $5.


Rakutem formally known as Ebates,  lets you get cashback on purchases made online through various retailers. Not sure if they have an app but you can link it to your browser automatically and instantly start earning as you shop. You can also become an affiliate with the brand and share your link to earn a commission.

I shared this video in the last blog post but it's still relevant here if you are looking to make money using just your smartphone. These are great finance apps and there's more she didn't mention. 

Mercari Sell your clothing online through this app.

Handy Is an app similar to task rabbit that lets you do a task such as house cleaning, putting together furniture, etc. It pays anywhere from $22/hr -$45/hr.

Bookscouter is an app that allows you to sell used books and textbooks. Prices vary but you can scan the bar code at the back of the book to see how much it's worth and who's willing to pay the most for it by comparison.


Testing Time is not an app but you can become a tester using Skype or in person. It pays $54/hr to get your feedback. Become a paid tester and get started soon. No Experience or training needed.

UTest can be used both on the computer and app. Similar to Testing Time. They send you an email and you can accept it or decline it if you have time. The sooner you respond the better. But you can set your schedule for sending you test. Payments can vary depending on test between $10-$70/test. They will also send you free training.

I highly recommend Tyler Pratt's channel if you are looking for more work from home jobs. Also more things you can do from your phone or an app for more ideas about this topic.

Kevin David shares a lot of information on how to make money from your phone, the internet, stay at home jobs, etc. 

Ibotta Is a cashback app that allows you to make back $1/uber ride and varying other payments depending on what websites you use to shop on. You can buy directly from the app meaning you no longer need to scan receipts if you don't want to and you can save money on groceries as well. 

Sweatcoin Allows you to get paid to walk as long as it's outside of your house. You can cash the points in for fitness-related items such as yoga pants, headphones, Audible, etc. 

Shopkick allows you to earn points depending on based on the stores you walk into and purchases you make at various retailers or even just for scanning products while you are there. 

Inbox Dollars Allows you to make money watching videos, taking surveys, and shopping and receive cash offers from it. Most tasks pay less than $1/task but when everything adds up and you are ready to cash out you can have it sent to a gift card or to use at select retailers.

Lucktastic Is a digital way to play the lottery but it's free. It can pay between $1-$10,00. But most earn about $1-$10 prizes on average by scratching off tickets through the app.
