Money Making Apps

If you’re interested, here are five of the best money-making apps out there on Google Play or iTunes.

#1 SWAGBUCKS

Most of us spend time on the web, so why not get paid for doing the stuff you just normally do anyway? That’s where Swagbucks comes in. Once you sign up, all you have to do is see what’s available, and perform the tasks you’re asked. You may be asked to watch certain videos, play free online games or use specific search engines instead of your usual ones. Each task comes with a related amount of ‘swag points’, which are awarded to your account once you have completed the task. You’re then able to swap these points for cash or shopping vouchers.

#2 FULL TILT POKER

If you fancy yourself as a bit of a card sharp, then you can download the new version of Full Tilt Poker’s mobile app and concentrate upon expanding your poker roll. You don’t have to be a poker demon to make money by playing poker. You just need to learn the basics, adopt a winning strategy and stick to it. There are plenty of tutorials on the web that will help you do just that. Full Tilt’s latest version of their mobile app has incorporated several new features that helps bring a true, poker-playing experience to your mobile app. You can find info about the new app here.

#3 FIELD AGENT

This probably sounds more glamorous than it actually is. Once you’ve signed up to become a Field Agent, your iPhone becomes your contact point. You can scan the local area for a mission and, if you choose to accept it, you’re sent out into the field. It might be a small market research task, or to check out the prices in your local store, or snap pics of products or even write a quick review. Once the task is complete, you’re able to claim the cash, which is paid to you via your PayPal account. You need to act fast when searching for tasks as they’re usually snapped up within seconds.

#4 QUIDCO

It’s the ultimate dream for retail addicts – getting paid to walk into a shop! Quidco have been around for a few years, and are a cash-back provider. Once you sign up and register your credit card with the Quidco site, every time you use that credit card in an affiliated site both online and on the high street, you receive a specified amount of cash-back, usually between 5 and 10 percent of what you have spent. A few retailers will also pay you a small amount just to pop into their store and have a look around. The Quidco app on your mobile will automatically work out where you are and credit your account accordingly.

#5 WIKETS

Nothing to do with cricket. The world has undergone a social media revolution over the past couple of years, and Wikets are riding upon the back of this. Companies are seeking sneaky ways to boost their profile on Facebook, and with Wikets, you can give them a helping hand. Every time you recommend a product or business on your Facebook page via the Wiket App, you are awarded points. Once you’ve accumulated enough points, you can exchange them for shopping vouchers.
