25 Ways to Make $100 a Day From Your Phone
Here’s 25 ways to make money from your phone without leaving the comfort of your home.
Take Short Surveys or Play Games
Inbox Dollars is one of the most popular paid survey platforms, earning users up to $20 per survey. You can also get paid to play games and read emails.
On Kashkick, you can make money by answering surveys, finding online deals, and watching videos. You’ll be paid through PayPal as soon as you reach $10 in earnings.
Swagbucks allows you to earn money for shopping online, playing video games, searching the web, and answering surveys. You can then redeem points for gift cards to your favorite retailers like Amazon and Walmart, or get cash via PayPal.
According to Swagbucks, the average user makes around $2 to $5 per day, which doesn’t sound like much, but that’s around $1,800 per year.
While Steady isn’t a cashback app themselves, they compile personalized earning opportunities within your individual feed — which contains surveys, local gig opportunities, and side hustles. The average Steady user makes an extra $5,500 per year, according to their website.
Use Cashback Apps and Browser Extensions
Honey is a browser extension that allows you to earn cash back on everyday purchases. It’s free to install, and earnings are delivered through PayPal when you decide to cash out. It’ll also scrape the web for coupons and apply them to your online orders automatically.
TopCashback is another browser extension that allows you to earn hundreds of dollars a year from shopping with over 7,000 retailers.
For cash back on gas, restaurants, and groceries, download Upside. It’s easy to use, and the average user earns over $300 per year.
Fetch is one of the top-rated cash back apps, and rightfully so. By scanning receipts from everyday purchases, you’ll earn points you can redeem for cash.
Ibotta also rewards users for scanning receipts from everyday purchases. You can earn up to 30% cash back at thousands of top retailers.
Take Advantage of Bank SignUp Offers
Some banks offer cash bonuses for opening an account and setting up direct deposit. Note that these deals update frequently, but here are a few examples available at the time of writing:
- PNC Bank: Up to $400
- Fifth Third Bank: $150
- TD Bank: $300
For an updated list of these deals, check BankBonus.
Open a High Yield Savings Account
A high yield savings account (HYSA) is just like a traditional savings account except you get to earn interest on your balance. For example, Ally Bank offers an HYSA with an annual percentage yield of 4.25% at the time of writing. So, on a balance of $1,000, you’d earn around $42.50 per year.
Other HYSA options include:*
- SoFi: 4.50% APY
- Marcus by Goldman Sachs: 4.30% APY
- CIT Bank: 4.65% APY
*APYs listed were accurate at the time of writing. APYs are subject to change.
Become a Virtual Assistant or Freelancer
If you’re looking for remote contract-to-hire opportunities, download Pangea. It’s free to use, and some users have earned over $50,000 on the platform working just part-time.
For high-paying freelance opportunities, sign up for Contra. There’s a variety of opportunities posted every single day, from freelance writing to logo design.
Upwork is another freelance platform, except you’ll find more virtual assistant opportunities here than on Pangea or Contra.
Teach Online Classes
If you have knowledge on a particular topic — whether that’s math, guitar, illustration, or sewing — consider teaching children about the topic on Outschool. Outschool teachers create their own curriculum and class times, all while earning around $40 per hour.
This tutoring platform allows anyone with knowledge on a specific topic to reach small groups and individual students. According to some reviews, tutors make around $33 per hour.
Heads up: Varsity Tutors is unable to offer contracts to applicants in AK, CA, CO, DE, HI, ME, NH, ND, VT, and WV.
If you want to earn $14 to $22 per hour by teaching kids English, give VIPKid a try. The main benefit of this platform, in comparison to its competitors, is that no lesson planning is required. VIPKid will provide the lesson — you just have to show up and teach.
Sell Items You Don’t Need
Give your closet a good look and ditch what you don’t wear. List the items on Poshmark to earn some extra cash. According to a few Reddit comments, sellers are earning anywhere from $100 to $1,000 per month.
It’s a good idea to cross-post your clothing items on multiple platforms. This gives you a better shot at selling each one. Some Curtsy users have earned over $1,500 just by selling items they no longer needed.
If you have items other than clothing — like furniture, books, decor, and even old tech products — list them on Facebook marketplace. Earnings will vary depending on what you sell, but it can be significant. For example, one girl sold all of her apartment furniture before a big move and made $1,500 in just one week.
OfferUp is another platform, similar to Facebook Marketplace, for selling just about anything. For example, when I logged in, my home page showed me mesh shorts, a Toyota Rav 4, and a washing machine…what a variety. Regardless of what you want to sell, list it on OfferUp.
Rent Out Gear or Spaces You Own
If you own any camera gear, use ShareGrid to rent it out to local creatives. You can make around $30 per day, depending on the item you rent out and how long the customer has it.
Got an extra spot in your driveway? Consider renting it out to van-lifers and campers looking for safe spaces to park their camper for the night. Listings range from $20 to $75 per night.
If you have other space, like an empty bedroom or garage, list the space on Neighbor. Locals can rent the space to store business inventory, park a car, or store personal items. Users earn anywhere from $30 to $600 per month, depending on their location and the space they’re renting.
If you've got a backyard, list it on Sniffspot. This platform allows dog owners to book private spaces for pets that might not be on their best behavior at a dog park — or just pups that get anxious around others. According to Sniffspot, some hosts earn around $3,000 per month.
Offer Expert Advice
If you’re an expert on a topic like snowboarding, cooking, or even baby items, sign up for Curated. Curated allows users to get personalized, expert advice from people like you — and the experts get paid an average of $2,000 per month working between 15 and 25 hours per week.
