Now that most of us are stuck at home, we all have a lot of free time and probably not a lot of extra money. Thankfully, there are a lot of ways you can make money on your phone while you’re stuck in quarantine!

Swagbucks

If you’ve never tried Swagbucks, now is absolutely the time. There is so much money to be made from this site. There is a mobile app, but I do recommend using a computer or at least a browser for Swagbucks. It’s so easy to earn with Swagbucks. You can earn from answering surveys, playing games on your phone, watching videos, even just signing up for a mailing list! The payouts can be huge! You can get a payout directly to PayPal, too!

Let me tell you how exactly the payout works. 1 SB is equal to a penny (I know, doesn’t sound like much, but most things pay out way more than 1 SB), making 100 SB the same as 1 USD. They offer gift cards starting at 300 SB for a gift card. These do take up to 10 days to actually be sent to your email, just so you’re aware! It typically doesn’t take that long, though.

I definitely suggest saving up your SB until you have at least 2,200 points. The first $25 gift card you redeem every month is discounted by 300 SB. So, instead of spending 2,500 points, you spend 2,200. This does not work for the PayPal cards, unfortunately. There are some other deals you can find if you leaf through all the gift cards you can redeem.

To sign up for Swagbucks, go here!

Qmee

Qmee is an awesome app that you can download on Android of iOS! It is one of the easiest and fastest apps for getting money sent straight to PayPal! There is no minimum for cashing out so if you’d like, you can cash out after every survey. Whatever works for you!

Qmee provides really easy surveys right on your phone. It tells you how long it’s supposed to take, how long the average user has spent taking the survey, and exactly how much it will payout if you qualify and finish the provided survey! On occasion, it does payout even if you do not qualify for the survey.

The more you use this app, the better. If you take at least one survey every day, you gain higher payouts. It’s still worth it even if you use the app sporadically. It’s easy money.

You can cash out to PayPal, save up for a gift card (starting at just $5!), or give to charity!

Try out Qmee here! If you sign up using this link, you'll earn an extra 50 cents!

Sweatcoin

So bored that you’ve decided to get in shape while you’re stuck in your house for two weeks (or longer, who knows at this point)? Well, Sweatcoin has really uped its game!

Sweatcoin rewards you for your steps. Previously, it would only reward you for outdoor steps. Recently, it has upgraded its algorithm to include indoor steps! Now your steps walking on your treadmill or riding your exercise bike count as well as your steps while you’re out walking the dog. There’s nothing better than getting rewarded for something you already do!

You can redeem your Sweatcoins for awesome products, trials, discounts, or you can save up and get even better products for free. If you want to introduce others to the app, you can also redeem cash through PayPal when they sign up! There’s no better time to try out this app.

Try out Sweatcoin by going here!
