Easiest Money in 2024

Its 2024, of course everything is expensive. Its 2024, of course we cry in our cars on our lunch breaks. Its 2024, of course we’ve thought about selling a kidney. Okay, maybe its not quite there yet, but I think most of us would love some extra money, especially if its easy to earn. I’ve found three apps that actually work and payout fast. My disclaimer here is that I’m adding my referral links. If you sign up via my link I earn a bonus and you earn a signup reward. Some may allow me to keep earning as long as you keep earning, but that is part of the allure for you as well — you refer, you earn.

1. FREECASH

So Freecash is an app/website that pays you to test apps, take surveys, or try out subscriptions. I only use it for the games, they are the most lucrative and easiest to earn in my opinion. For example, I downloaded an app called Ant Legion and earned a total of $118.05. I did spend $40 in order to progress faster, but making purchases is not a requirement. I am currently testing Chief Almighty and Puzzles & Survival as well and I’ve earned about $50 each on those.

Pros:

· Fast Cash Out

· Multiple Cash-Out Options

· Earn as You Go with multiple level targets/payouts (No all or nothing until level 100 crap)

· Earn Bonuses for Activity

Cons:

· Right now the selection is limited

· Surveys disqualify you at the last question

· The Freecash app is slow & can be hard to navigate for payouts

Finally, here is a quick pro tip on getting the max cash out of a game. Since they are tiered rewards (Ex: Install get $0.15 Reach Level 9 get $5 Reach level 12 get $9.92 so on so forth for a total of $200), in a builder game go ahead and get that second or third builder unlocked, then go online and look up the requirements for each level to make sure you don’t waste any time building unnecessary things.

Most games have a 30 day time limit from install to completion, but others have time limits on each tier, so keep an eye out for that to make sure you maximize your time.

Additionally, if you sign up with my link you will get a welcome bonus worth up to $250 — realistically it will probably be closer to the $1-$10 range.

2. Swagbucks

Swagbucks is very similar to Freecash as far as the gaming goes, but it leans more toward an all or nothing earning rather than the tiered. What I like about Swagbucks is the diverse earning options such as daily polls, contests, daily trivia, shopping, and more.

The coolest feature to me is the shopping. If you find you favorite retailer on Swagbucks and make your purchase from that search then you get a percentage back in Swagbucks — sometimes it’s up to 20% or more. Swagbucks are redeemed on the platform in the form of cash or giftcards at a rate of $0.01 per Swagbuck; however, there are monthly giftcard deals where they are deeply discounted. You can do this 1 time per month per gift card source.

For example, I usually redeem a$25 Amazon gift card each month at a 13% for $21.75 in Swagbucks (discount varies by gift card amount and this is the deepest discounted amount).

Pros:

· Lots of earning options

· Great discounts

· Easy redemption

· Multiple redemption options

Cons:

· Surveys are usually longer than they say and disqualify at the last question

· Occasionally does not capture your purchase for cash back

I kind of passively use this app but I still earn about $10 per month on average.

If this is something that interests you here is a direct link.

3. Fluz

Ok, so this one isn’t a lot of bells and whistles. Its just cash back and its stackable with other programs or rewards. So the way it works is you connect your funding source, find your retailer in Fluz and enter the total you are spending on a purchase and hit submit. This will purchase a gift card at a discount that varies by vendor and funding source. That discounted portion will be immediately refunded to your Fluz account.

Pros:

· Occasional parties with very high cash back

· Stackable rewards

· Bonuses

· Works online and in store

Cons

· Extremely slow app

· May not work on IPhone

If you would like to try out Fluz just click my link and start off with 2 cash back boosts of up to 25%.

The Best Money is Easy Money

Overall, there isn’t much easier than playing games, doing trivia, and shopping. All things you can do in the bathroom, so if you want some easy money these may be some good options for you!
