1. PaidViewPoint

This site is relatively simple. You answer survey questions about yourself. For every question you answer, you earn "trait score" points that up your status on the site. A score of 9000 or better makes you a prime member, and therefore, you can earn more. I have a perfect score (10,000) because I have been out of it for a while. You can cash out at $10.00 and redeem is via money on PayPal.

2. SlicethePie

This site is one of my favorites. You only make a few cents per review, but all you do is watch a short commercial and talk about what you liked and didn't, listen to a song (most of the time a song new to the radio or someone's mixtape from SoundCloud, essentially), or comment on a piece of clothing. It's super easy, and the money can get redeemed for cash on PayPal.

If you want to listen to some sweet tunes and make some cash while doing it, here's a link to where you can get involved: https://www.slicethepie.com/join/U289C1A3

3. Lucky Day

This app is relatively new to me, but super easy to use. Basically, you click the app, play virtual scratchers (for free!), and win either chips or money. When you get 10 dollars in money, you can cash out to PayPal, or if you get to a certain number of chips you can redeem the money for e-giftcards to places like Sephora, Starbucks, Target, Walmart, Dunkin Donuts, and a lot more.

I haven't gotten enough to cash out yet, but I have made $7.25.

If you want to find it on the Apple or Google store, the icon is yellow with a hat and mustache.

4. Cash Show

Of the ways to earn money on this site, this is probably the hardest, but if you like trivia, this app is for you. You play against people from around the world when your phone sends you a notification (there a few "shows" per day), play the game until you get a question wrong, and if you get far enough, you earn a little money. I have only earned about 40 cents so far, but that's still 40 cents I would not have had.

You're going to play games on your pgone anyway, so find this app on whatever store you need to, get it set up, and PLAY:

5. PocketPoints

I LOVE this app. It pays you points to stay off your phone in class (and uses your GPS location to know when you click in and are in an academic building on campus), then those points translate into discounts for brands and restaurants around your college. Super exciting. I have gotten free coffee, pizza, and discounts on ordering food at my dorm.

Find this app NOW. Trust me. It'll be worth it.
