If you’ve ever been on my site before, you know that I’m a huge fan of making an extra income anyway that I can. One easy way I earn money is by using smartphone apps. There’re 100’s of apps out there that claim to pay you, but not all are legitimate.
That’s why I’ve put together a list of over 50 apps that actually pay so you can avoid the scams.
If you have any questions about the apps on this list, please let me know in comments below. I’ve left a short description of each, but I have more detailed reviews you can read.
If making money on your phone isn’t for you, here’re all the ways I make an extra income online.
Let’s get started, here’re over 50 ways to make money with smartphone apps.

Hi Brok. I read your article and had a few points of feedback for you.
I would recommend giving a little more of your own feedback on each app and article. I see on a few of them you say it’s your favorite but if you talked a little more about your own personal experience with some I think it may help the readers connect with you more. also maybe put a few of your absolute favorites in the opening article statement. Other than that great article and I will be using some of the apps you recommend for sure. Thanks for reading and hope this helps.
Thanks for tips Aaron. If you’d like to see more of my feedback on the sites and how i rank them you can check out my reviews or this list post here.
