MAKE MONEY FROM YOUR PHONE
Have you ever thought about how great it would be to make money from your phone?
Most of us have our phone with us all the time so why not figure out a way to make money off of it?
Well, I have found a few ways to earn money from your smartphone!
There are many apps out there that allow you to make money with your phone.
We pay a lot of money eachmonth just to use our phone, why not makemoney off of it? You can even make enough money to cover your phone bill if you utilize your phone wisely.
Instead of wastingtime playing games that don’t pay you, try these apps that will make you money from your smartphone.
HOW TO MAKE MONEY FROM YOUR SMARTPHONE
GET PAID TO WALK INTO STORES AND SCAN STUFF
SHOPKICK
Shopkick is a free app that rewards you simply for walking into stores (love this part) and for doing other activities like scanning certain products while you’re in the store.
When you open the app it will tell you which products to look for and scan. You will get points for scanning each item. It’s actually kind of fun like a treasure hunt.
It’s a great app to use while walking around the mall! You will see easily in the app which stores that pay you for “walk-in’s” and which have items to scan.
When you get enough points you can exchange them for Amazon gift cards and more!

I talk about Ibotta all the time but in case you haven’t heard of them, Ibotta is a free grocery savings app. You can get cashback on your purchases of certain products and brands.

POSHMARK
Poshmark (use code: ESAVINGSBLOG and get a $5 Credit! when you sign up) is by far my favorite app to sell your clothing, accessories, makeup, etc. I’ve sold a bunch of items already (check out my Poshmark review).
If you have clothes you’ve never worn or hardly ever wear, sell them right from your phone! I had clothes with the tags still on them and a whole bunch of clothes I only wore a few times and listed them up.
You just take a picture and do everything right from your phone. It’s super simple and Poshmark takes care of everything! You just print the label and drop your items in the mailbox. Check out all my tips for selling on Poshmark including how to get free boxes and how to package your items.
OFFER UP
This is another app where you can sell stuff but locally. Sell old furniture, cars, almost anything! Obviously, you want to use caution and always speak to and check out whoever you’re selling to before you meet them (and bring a friend) but it’s a great way to get rid of items you no longer need and to make money.
GET PAID TO READ EMAILS
INBOXDOLLARS
I joinedInboxDollarsback in 2015 and use them on and off. Inboxdollars will pay you just for opening and reading their daily emails. They pay you for doing other things as well (taking surveys, watching videos, and more) but the easiest is just reading emails as it takes only seconds.
You can check out InboxDollars here.
