What if I told you – you can earn money without investment through mobile?
That’s right! There are several ways available online that allow you to earn money just from your smartphone.
Whether you’re a student, employee, job seeker, housemaker, or anyone who wants to earn extra cash in their free time, using the resources mentioned in this post will surely help to turn your mobile into a money-making machine.
So, without any further ado, let’s start with Market Research websites.
1. Market Research Apps Paying Money For Using Mobile
These companies reward you to just use your mobile as you always do.
Basically, they want to know the internet habits of different users so they can plan & make informed decisions about their marketing strategies.
For this purpose, they offer an app that when installed on mobile, tracks your internet activities & rewards you gift cards for keeping it active.
If you’re ready to share your online habits with such companies in exchange for gift vouchers, you can try the following two apps.
MobileXpression
MobileXpression reads your internet habits and pays a $5 bonus gift card for keeping it active for a week. You can further earn an extra $4 to $5 per month as long as it is installed.
Nielsen Computer & Mobile Panel
With Nielsen, you can earn up to $50 a year as long as it is active on one or more mobile devices.

2. Complete Surveys On Your Mobile
Basically, when you visit survey sites on your mobile (you can also download their app), you need to complete a set of multiple-choice questions to get paid.
One of the disadvantages of taking surveys is that – there is a high probability of getting disqualified if you’re not a good fit. In such a case, ensure to read my survey qualification guidelines post before joining them.
Survey Junkie
It is one of the popular and high-rated survey sites that reward PayPal, & gift cards for completing online surveys.
The surveys pay around 20 pts ($0.20) to 350 pts ($3.50) and you can redeem them once you hit 1,000 ($10) in your account.
Sadly, Survey Junkie is only available to the US, Canada, and Australian residents. So, if you’re not from here, try other options mentioned below.
Click here to join them and receive 80 points as a bonus.
YouGov
If you’re interested in completing surveys related to government and politics, you should join YouGov.
Each survey pays around 300 to 500 points (vary by country) and you need at least 1,000 points ($10) to redeem for PayPal, gift cards, or mobile credits.
The good thing is – it is available in most countries and they even pay 100 points for completing your profile details.
Pinecone Research
The best thing about Pinecone Research is that they have a minimum payout of only 300 points ($3). This means you can easily redeem your first payout after completing a few surveys as each pays around 300 to 500 pts ($3-$5).
Apart from this, you can also test new products to earn 600 points each. The only con is they don’t offer any sign-up bonus which means – you have to right away start from zero points.
Ipsos Panel
This is another survey site having its own mobile app where you can complete surveys paying around 40 to 90 points. The minimum payout is 500 points for gift cards & 1,530 points for $15 PayPal cash.
The advantage of joining the Ipsos Panel is that they even pay 5 points for disqualification. This means even if you couldn’t complete surveys, they will still credit 5 points to your account.
Toluna Influencers
Toluna is accessible in most countries paying 15 to 50,000 points for surveys. The minimum payout is 95,000 points for $30 PayPal cash & 30,000 points for $10 gift card.
To earn a bonus of 500 pts, you can click here to join them and add an extra 1,200 points for completing your profile details.
Vindale Research
Vindale Research pays $1 on sign-up (click here to join) apart from crediting $0.25 to $5 per survey. The minimum threshold is $50 that allows you to redeem for PayPal cash and check.
The only con is – it is available in only four countries – the US, UK, Canada, & Australia.
LifePoints
LifePoints is available in most countries that pay 20 to 100+ points per survey.
When you sign-up (click here to join), your account is credited with 10 points, and then, you need an extra 796 points to redeem your first reward.
Similar to Ipsos Panel, they also offer points for trying which means you will still get points even when you’re disqualified.

Just like Swagbucks, they also pay money (not points) for completing online activities like surveys, watching videos, reading paid emails, etc.
