Earn by Downloading Delivery Apps ($15-$60)

If you love shopping, but don't want to do it for yourself, there are multiple delivery apps where you can go shopping for others and delivery straight to their door. This is like the non-skilled version of personal shoppers, however with a much easier entry rate.
