1.Playing solitaire on my phone – (Earning potential: up to $4,000/week)
NOTE: This is only available on Samsung phones.
Sounds nuts, obviously, but the idea of playing cash solitaire as a side gig has been around for years, and can be surprisingly lucrative (if you’re good enough, anyway).
The whole thing revolves around Solitaire Cash (a free Samsung game).
The game itself is really simple: You play solitaire head-to-head against another real person. Whoever solves their deck the fastest wins real cash.
If you can get good at the game, it can be surprisingly profitable: typically up to $80/game for the winner. Each game takes ~2 minutes, in my experience.
2. Being a paid game tester. ($60/month)
Have you heard of Mistplay at all? It’s basically an app that will pay you to test new games.
Whenever you play a free phone game, you generate ad money for the game developer. Mistplay basically gives you a share of that ad revenue.
If you’re playing games anyway, why not make some money off of it? Here’s a link to their app.
3. Playing speed bingo (for up to $3k/week).
NOTE: This is only available on Samsung phones.
If you get a minute, take a look at Bingo Cash – it’s kind of like the solitaire game I mentioned above, but with speed bingo instead (great if you’re not that into solitaire).
You play against a real opponent, and the winner of the game wins a real cash prize.
Check out the leaderboards sometime to see how much the pros are making (it’s ridiculous – sometimes $3k-$4k/week).
You can download the game here, if you want.
4. Filling out surveys (Earning potential: up to $5/survey, which can add up fast)
As a general rule I would ignore any site that says they’ll pay you to fill out surveys, but there are a few that are legitimate (and pay fairly well).
I usually use Branded Surveys (link here). You basically just get paid to give your opinions on different products/services, etc. Ideal for when you’re watching TV.
Here’s the form I used to sign up – I think it took me maybe 1-2 minutes tops. They don’t accept everyone, but if you get in it’s a sweet gig.
Hopefully that helps
