Let’s face it: a lot of these apps don’t make you real money. You think small tasks will pay you, but in the end, they don’t. The truth is, you just need to find the right apps that are actually paying their users 

I will provide you with a step-by-step explanation of exactly how I am making $1000 a month by using these apps that make me money daily. While I switch from one to another, finding your flow in these apps will guarantee you some real hard-earned money without wasting time.

Reward Apps Pay You to Play Games

Getting paid to play games is becoming way more popular. Nowadays, not everyone wants to pay for a AAA game, if they could earn GTA 6 for free, they would. That's why so many emerging apps in the gaming niche are having so much success. 

Here's a breakdown of some of my favorites. They have earned me up to $1000 a month and, on average, $500. 

Reward Apps/PlatformsSign Up BonusAvailable OffersCashout Rewards
Freecash$5-$100Games, Surveys, Product Testing, AffiliatesPayPal, Gift Cards, Crypto
MyBoosting.ggNoneGames, TrainingPayPal, Direct Deposit
Gam3s.gg100 XP towards free G3Games, Reviews, Battle Pass, NFTsCrypto, NFT
Poll Pay$2 or 200 CoinsGames, Surveys, Receipt ScanningPayPal, Amazon, Gift Cards

You can have a great experience playing on these platforms if you know where to go and how to do it. Freecash has made me the most in rewards, and its affiliates program has really set me up for better success. 

Freecash

My number one choice would be to use Freecash. This app has earned me a majority of my highest rewards, and its actually addicting. You start off with really low payments, but the more time you spend in each game, the higher the rewards can get. I even earned $400 for just completing max level in an RPG game. 

A few tips I would recommend would be: 

  • Participate in more than one category, complete surveys, and test products to maximize earnings
  • Join the affiliates program. The affiliates are what really started me rolling in the dough
  • Complete daily quests. These quests are only available to you

If you are into crypto, making a Stake account will boost your income odds even more with a 15% bonus. Otherwise, you have PayPal and gift cards that are actually popular to use (Apple, Amazon, Visa, even Blizzard and Epic Games gift cards).

MyBoosting.gg

While this is not directing a rewards app, it is an app that will pay you money for playing. MyBoosting is where you can offer your highly skilled gamer experience to others to help boost their profiles. You need to be rather good at a game to apply for these types of apps, but you can easily make $30-$60 fo reach account boosted. 

Making money playing games goes beyond just boosting, there are many ways to earn money through your favorite games. MyBoosting just stood out to me when I was looking for a way to make $1000 a month through apps and websites. I am also a hardcore League of Legends player, so any way I could earn free League of Legends RP, I would do it. 

If you want to get into game boosting, here are a few of my tips:

  • Master a game like LoL, CSGO, Rocket League, Overwatch 2, Wild Rift, or even Fall Guys
  • Apply to local eSports competitions to help network with others and create a good profile
  • Create a gaming portfolio, showing off your ranks, personal best, and even a video of you explaining your gameplay.

Gam3s.gg

If you are a fan of crypto and all things web3, gam3s.gg offers some of the best rewards, including free NFTs and cryptocurrency (G3). You can play some of your favorite web3 games straight from their platform and earn G3 for simply writing reviews on your favorite games.

They also reward you for being active on their website, like reading guides and news and keeping up with what's happening in their Discord. You also get rewarded for weekly quests. I really found Gam3s.gg one of the best apps to make money. Even though a majority of what you earn is crypto, that can easily be sold into the market and transferred into real cash or USDT/USDC. 

If you want to get into crypto and Gam3s.gg, here are a few ways you can optimize your earnings:

  • Connect your wallet (or alternative wallet) to the Gam3s.gg platform
  • Follow them on Discord and X to earn extra XP
  • Initiate web3 games through their platform to earn extra XP
  • Write reviews and participate in community challenges

I have been able to earn over $200 worth of crypto in my first two weeks using gam3s.gg, playing games like Pirate Nation and selling hundreds of common rewards that duplicate.

Poll Play

Poll Play is a fun alternative to websites like SurveyJunkie, where you can scan receipts or play games to earn extra cash. I personally enjoy this app as it's available in multiple countries, and I can earn extra money by simply scanning my receipts after large purchases. 

They offer international surveys, which, as someone who travels frequently, really helps me have more options. 

With Poll Play, I have been able to earn the following:

  • Scan Receipts: Each receipt I've earned from $0.80 to $1.20, depending on how much I've spent
  • Games: Games pay about $0.09 to $0.80 per install plus at least one achievement completed
  • Surveys: Pay about $0.02 to $0.73, depending on the brand.

I like Poll Play if I am simply trying to earn a bit here and there for my groceries or if I find an interesting game or survey to play. I would not recommend it, however, for being your main source of money since they do not pay as much as other applications.

Gig Apps Pay You to Work

Along with reward apps, I also use gig apps to find small gigs according to my talents. This is a great way to earn at least $500 a month or even more if you put the time into it. Whether you want to share your artistic talent, or maybe you want to be a virtual assistant and earn an extra $100 or so a week, this is the best opportunity. 

Gig AppWork TypePay RangeTime Dedication
UpworkWriter, Designer, Manager, Assistant, Product Tester, etc$5-$200 per gig1 to 4 hours a week
FiverrGame Instructor, Writer, Designer, Assistant, etc$5-$100 per gig1 to 3 hours a week
UberFood Delivery, Grocery Delivery$10-$60 per run3-5 hours a week
DoorDashFood Delivery$6 to $45 per run3-5 hours a week

Gig apps are client-based, which means you will need to provide a type of service for them to hire you. While I personally find this useful, you could find it rather difficult without knowing where to start.

Upwork

Upwork is one of the easiest platforms to get started on. They provide an app for easy access, along with a large variety of projects for multiple types of talents. Maybe you do not have one type of talent, and you just want to make a few bucks. Upwork has many opportunities where you can get paid from $5 to $25 for simply writing a review. 

A few non-talent-specific projects you could easily apply for (with no background needed) would be:

  • Complete short surveys
  • Write reviews on products or locations
  • Take stock pictures
  • Copy and paste data from one Google doc to another

There are many small gigs that can easily help you earn up to $100 or more a week. All of these should only take you from 30 minutes to maybe an hour to complete. 

Today's Special Offers in

en

Fiverr

Similar to Upwork, however, you will need to be specific about what talents you offer. This is great for those who are new at freelancing or want to make a little extra by using their talents. Typically, projects on Fiverr do not go above $5, but I have been able to charge around $15 to write short 500-word reviews, which is a nice small win. 

Unfortunately you can't just apply to what gigs you want, you will need to wait for clients to come to you on Fiverr. I didn't mind this, however, as Fiverr could work for me in the background while I completed other tasks like earning money on Freecash from taking surveys. 

Uber

Uber is a very popular platform and gig app that is suitable for drivers or cyclists looking for some extra cash. Uber can pay you to chauffeur, deliver food, or deliver groceries to people. Its a rather chill part time job, but full time can get super stressful. Which is why I would totally keep this as a great side hustle and make a pretty decent wage on the side. 

To qualify for Uber, you will need to create a profile as an Uber Driver and send ID verification along with car ownership verification. Your car will need to pass their preferred year and conditions before you can start taking on some gigs. 

DoorDash

Similar to Uber, DoorDash is mostly focused on food delivery, which can be easily done with a bicycle, moped, car or even motorcycle. You will need to have a valid drivers license and a rather clear driving record. Otherwise, DoorDash is a great app to run in the background of your Uber runs, so you can earn a little extra cash during slow hours. 

I was able to make a solid $12 to $35 per delivery while maintaining about 3 to 4 orders a day part-time. Depending on where you live, that could fluctuate from more to less. I highly recommend these types of apps to make money when you live close to major cities.
