A Quick Disclaimer
Everything I’m sharing today is based on my own testing and research and personal experiences as someone who has been testing out side hustle ideas for over 8 years. Results aren’t guaranteed, but I honestly think these are some pretty cool and newer companies in the side hustle world that you guys don’t want to miss.
1. Money Cash – Get Paid to Play Mobile Games
To kick things off, the first new money-making app I wanted to cover, it’s brand new to this channel, and it’s called Money Cash. And really, Money Cash is basically a fun way to get paid to play mobile games. Except unlike a lot of gaming apps out there that only pay you if you spend money on in-app purchases, Money Cash pays you every single minute you spend playing different games.
Key Features:
- The app is super simple to use.
- You basically download it for free on the Android or iOS app store.
- You create an account, and then you choose games you want to play to begin earning.
- Money Cash has tons of different games to choose from, and you earn coins every single minute you spend playing a Money Cash game, which again is kind of refreshing because a lot of gaming apps out there make you grind for weeks or even months before you get paid. So, it’s nice that Money Cash starts doing this right away.
- What’s also super cool is that rewards start at just $1.
- And between the signup bonus and earning coins every single minute, you can get your first reward pretty quickly.
- When I tested out Money Cash, I was able to redeem over $10 to my PayPal account pretty quickly after starting to use the app, which again impressed me because a lot of gaming apps out there take forever to pay you.
- Payouts process instantly, which is also a really nice selling point for Money Cash.
- And there are tons of different options to choose from, including PayPal and plenty of free gift cards.
2. Rewarda – Earn by Completing Short & Simple Tasks
The second new money-making website you probably haven’t heard of or tried quite yet. It’s another new one for the channel and it’s called Rewarda. Now Rewarda is a semi-global get paid to website that makes it easy to earn by completing short and simple tasks in your spare time.
Key Features:
- Signing up is completely free and just takes your email and right off of the bat you get a 100 coin welcome bonus which is pretty nice.
- Now once you actually create your account and sign up there are numerous ways you can begin earning. Like other awesome GPT platforms out there, you can start earning by:
- Downloading different games and playing them
- Downloading other cool apps
- Signing up for free trials
- Completing a range of other easy online tasks.
- Honestly, the offer wall and just variety of offers in general is pretty diverse, but there are also some other nice ways you can potentially snag some bonuses. For example, Rewarda has:
- A cool leaderboard system where weekly top earners receive additional coin bonuses.
- Streak and level up bonuses. So you can earn more by being consistent and by leveling up your overall account.
- Now again, like other GPT platforms out there, you’re not going to get rich. You’re not going to quit your day job. So you have to have some realistic expectations here. But if you like using GPT sites, I definitely recommend checking out Rewarda because again, it has a very diverse offer wall.
- The rewards are also pretty cool. You can exchange your coins for:
- PayPal
- Tons of free gift cards to companies like Amazon, Walmart, Google Play, and Target.
- But Rewarda is especially cool if you like crypto since it supports Bitcoin, Litecoin, Binancecoin, Dogecoin, Solana, Ethereum, and Faucet Pay.
- Now, what’s nice is that PayPal only takes 5,000 coins to redeem a $5 reward, but some of the crypto rewards start at under a dollar and even as low as 20 cents, which is pretty much the lowest cash out requirement I’ve seen in the GPT industry.
3. Gems Loot – A Favorite GPT Platform with Low Payouts
The third new money-making app and website I wanted to cover is called Gems Loot. And let me just say, I’ve been testing this one out for the last few months. I have a review and Gems Loot is quickly becoming one of my favorite money-making platforms.
Key Features:
- I’ve cashed out with it. I’ve been using it and honestly, it is another excellent GPT platform with so many different ways to earn.
- What’s also cool is that it recently came out with an Android app, which not a lot of people know about. And it also has tons of offers for iOS devices and PC as well, so pretty much anyone can start earning.
- But like I said, Gems Loot has so many different ways to earn. You can basically create your account for free and then start exploring all of the different earning options from:
- Playing games
- Downloading mobile apps
- Completing free trials or sign up bonus offers.
- Paid surveys (the rates are pretty decent on Gems Loot)
- And then there are other ways to earn bonuses as well, like a leaderboard system and leveling up your account.
- Rewards are also very solid on Gems Loot. There’s:
- PayPal
- Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Solana.
- Tons of free gift cards to companies like Amazon, Best Buy, Fortnite, PlayStation, Steam, Target, and Xbox.
- The number of gaming focused offers and rewards in particular is also a selling point. So if you like playing video games, I definitely think you’ll like Gems Loot.
- Cash out requirements are also very low, and some rewards start at a dollar or even less. So again, this is quite rare for the GPT industry.
- So far I’ve cashed out over $400 with Gems Loot since testing it out. Just to be transparent, some of this is from referring people. It’s not just from completing offers. So, please keep this in mind.
4. ShopBack – Earn Cash Back While You Shop
The fourth new money-making app and website is an app, a website, and also a browser extension, and it’s called ShopBack. And if you have any upcoming online shopping trips, then this is one you absolutely need to check out.
Key Features:
- That’s because ShopBack basically lets you earn cash back when you shop at over 20,000 retailers. And this includes some massive ones like Amazon, Best Buy, Sephora, Target, Walmart, and plenty more.
- Now, if you’ve used a platform like Rakuten or Top Cashback, this will feel pretty familiar. You basically visit ShopBack. You pick the retailer you want to shop at, and then you earn cash back once you complete an eligible purchase.
- Now, what’s nice is that cashback rates on ShopBack typically range from about 1 to 5%, which is pretty decent. But you can still find partners paying 10% or even more in cash back on some occasions.
- But I also like ShopBack because it has some other earning opportunities that are quite interesting outside of just getting paid to shop. For example, ShopBack lets you:
- Get paid to play games and download apps.
- Get bonuses for completing certain quests.
- Earn by submitting coupon codes and discount codes to its database, which is pretty neat.
- What I also like is that you can redeem your cash back for PayPal. So, you’re not just getting gift cards or sweepstakes or coupons, you’re actually getting real cash back in your pocket.
5. Branby – Take Photos of Receipts & Share Data
The fifth new money-making app and platform I haven’t really covered before is an application called Branby. And so Branby is a rewards app that lets users earn money and gift cards by completing simple tasks right on their phone.
Key Features:
- Honestly, one of the main selling points of this app is that there are so many different ways to earn. For example, Branby lets you earn by:
- Taking surveys about different products and services.
- Playing mobile games and completing in-game milestones.
- Shopping through Branby partner links to earn cash back.
- However, the app has a few other creative ways to earn that again you don’t really see that often with a lot of these GPT style apps. For example, you can earn with Branby by:
- Taking a photo of your shopping receipt and uploading it to the app.
- In some cases, users can even earn just by leaving the app running passively and basically sharing their data with Branby and earning a kind of data dividend from the app.
- Overall, it’s kind of a mix between a GPT app and a shopping cashback rewards data selling app. So again, it’s more unique than a lot of the apps out there.
- There’s also tons of different rewards. There’s PayPal, there’s Venmo, and then there’s tons of different gift cards to companies like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Starbucks, Apple, and plenty more.
- Now, cash out minimums do vary based on the reward and the country you’re in, but oftentimes they range from $1 to $5, which again is pretty standard for the rewarded app space.
6. Share Town – Start a Reselling Business for Bulky Items
The sixth and final new money-making app and platform I wanted to cover. We’re going to the gig economy for this one, and it’s an application and platform called Share Town. Now, this is honestly quite a niche side hustle, and it’s not going to be for everyone, but out of every single one I’ve just shared, it definitely has the highest potential in terms of side hustle income.
Key Features:
- In a nutshell, Share Town lets you start your own business of reselling mattresses, treadmills, furniture, and other bulky items.
- That’s because, as it turns out, when customers have really bulky things to return, a lot of retailers don’t really want to process the returns because it’s kind of difficult and expensive.
- This is where a company like Sharetown steps in and it uses its networks of Sharetown reps, which could include you, to basically pick up bulky, oversized returns and resell them on the Facebook marketplace instead of dealing with the hassle of returning items.
- And so, as a Sharetown rep, you basically:
- Pick up bulky returns from customers in your city.
- Resell those items on marketplaces like Facebook or Craigslist.
- Pay Sharetown a portion of the profits and pocket the rest.
- And so it’s actually super cool because Sharetown really lets you start your own resale and flipping business without having to invest in inventory upfront or really find products in the first place that you want to resell.
- When you become a Sharetown rep, you manage everything through the app. You get a territory rep as well. So, they kind of hold your hand through the process of picking up items, listing them for resale, and making money as a Sharetown rep.
- Now, just keep in mind, right now, Sharetown is only available in the United States and select Canadian cities.
Final Thoughts
Honestly, I’ve been having an absolute blast testing out these different apps, websites, and side hustles. And it’s crazy because so many new ones keep popping up on the market. So, I’m not slowing down anytime soon, and I’m going to keep testing them as they come out.
If you’ve tried any of these apps or websites, or you have ideas about them, or if there are other suggestions you have as well, I’d love if you can let me know down in the comments.
Thank you so much for reading and for all the support. I hope you all have a fantastic day and week.
