One of the best and easiest ways to make passive income is using mobile apps. In this post, we share a number of apps that allow you to do exactly that. Most of these apps are easy to use and do not require a lot of work to configure. The setup for most of them is usually easy. All you have to do is just follow the in-app instructions in the majority of cases. Following are some of these apps that will help you create passive income from the palm of your hand.
ShopTracker
The great thing about ShopTracker is that as soon as you set up an account, the app earns you $3 just for signing up. ShopTracker does not collect and pay you for the information on how you use your phone. Instead it does so by tracking your Amazon purchases. Shoptracker is part of Harris Poll Online which is an online survey website with a long-standing reputation. If you frequently make purchases on Amazon, all you have to do is connect your Amazon account with the app and it will take care of the rest.
It takes about 10 minutes to set up the app, do a brief survey, and link your Amazon account to it. Once you’re done, the bonus is automatically credited to your Visa gift card. From that point on wards, for every month that you leave the app installed on your phone and keep it linked to your Amazon account, you will continue to earn $3 more for a total of $36 per year of passive income. At that point, the only thing left for you to do is to withdraw that money.
Nielsen Computer and Mobile Panel
Though this may not be the best paid system on this list, it does allow you to install the application or multiple devices per household. This means you can easily double, triple or even quadruple your passive income. The Nielsen Consumer Panel collects data from your phone which usually includes information such as the browser you use and the messages you send daily. Some people may have privacy concerns regarding this app, however if you are using social media, chances are most of your information is being collected anyways. So it is up to you to decide whether you want to use this or not.
The app is available for desktops, tablets and mobile phones. How much passive income you will earn is determined by the kind of device you have. This app can earn you about $50 a year just by keeping it installed on your phone while you use the phone normally. The longer you leave your app on the phone or other devices, the more money you continue to make.
SavvyConnect
SavvyConnect is a passive income program related to the SurveySavvy website. The app collects information on what you purchase online, what apps you use and what platforms you use for entertainment. You can install the application on up to three devices and can get paid up to $60 per device which adds up to $180 per year in passive income. Not only that, as a member of SavvyConnect, you will also be invited to earn even more money by completing their other well paid surveys. Furthermore, you can make even more money by referring your friends.
MobileXpression
After you install this app on your mobile device and register with the service, you receive a $5 Amazon gift card in just a few weeks by becoming a new member. However, you earn only $15 more per year for running this application. Although this amount is small, this app is still worth mentioning in the list because of how it is to install. In addition to earning money, you will also receive chips that can be used to participate in draws held by the app. Though they’re difficult to win, it’s fun to participate especially because it’s free. Do keep in mind that this app requires installation of a VPN on your device. If you have other apps that do not allow the use of a VPN, you may have a conflict with those apps while using this one.
Digital Reflection Board
Although this is not an application, you should consider registering your smartphone with this app as this is one of the best programs on our list for passive income. The way the Digital Reflection Panel works is by installing a simple internet indicator on your router. The configuration takes only about 5 minutes and a full technical team is at your disposal to help you in case you get stuck.
You will need to do a brief survey in order to determine your eligibility with the program. However, like other apps/programs on this list, you will likely be accepted into the program by answering the questions honestly. When you sign up and register your first device, you receive a $50 bonus and you can earn a total of $170 within the first year. Remember that the $50 bonus is awarded one month after the completion of these steps.
Media Insiders Panel
With this app you can earn up to $15 per month plus a $5 bonus after 12 weeks which equates to $185 per year. This company has an ongoing project to help media companies better understand how consumers use, view and share TV, social, digital and mobile data. The app measures your activities on a device such as sharing, viewing, clicking, chatting, downloading and more. The app also listens for TV shows using technology provided by GraceNote Corporation and identifies which TV shows were watched.
Now all of this may sound too invasive from a privacy perspective but keep rest easy knowing that at no time is any individual using the app, is identifiable. Their information is never shared or released publicly nor will the company ever interact with you via social media.
Conclusion
So there you have it. Some of the most passive ways of earning income. All you have to do is install some applications on your phone or other valid devices and then continue to use your devices as you normally would. In exchange for your data, you will be making money every year for doing absolutely nothing beyond the initial install, configuration and sign up with these applications and services.
