Most people use a phone just for scrolling,  gaming, or chatting. But what if I told you that that same phone could also be used to earn  real money? In this video, I will show you seven completely free ways you can start making money  directly from your phone. And you don't need any special skills or experience to get started. In  case you don't know, my name is Mikael. On this channel here, I share honest, no-nonsense ways  to make money online. Both simple side hustles for extra cash and methods that can grow into  something bigger. And today, we'll go through

seven of the best free ways to make money from  your phone that I have come across out of all the hundreds of ways that I have tested to make  money. I will show you examples for each one so you can see exactly how they work and decide  which might be the best fit for you. So let's get into the first method. So before going over the  methods, I just want to set the expectations when it comes to earning potential because what's very  important when we talk about free methods, all of the ones that I show you here are completely free.  You can get started right away with many of them

also. But of course, it's not then something that  will make you rich. There's no free instant method that will make you rich overnight or anything like  that. They are easy, most of them to get started with. It's something anyone can do, no matter your  background or experience, but it's not something that can replace a job or anything like that. Most  of them are just for some extra money on the side. So, that's just very important to keep in mind and  I just wanted to make that completely clear before

we get started. And it's not a prioritized list  because which of the options that are the best really depends on your personal preferences.  So, let's now jump to the first method. So, the first way to make some extra money from your  phone is gig economy jobs. There are many ways to earn like this. There are many platforms in many  cases actually jobs or task in your local area. There can be some that are only online also. But  if you're only interested in completely online, then there are many of the other options that I  will show you here you can use instead. But what's

great about gig economy jobs is that if you put  in enough time and effort, it can actually build into some really great income or extra income  potentially and you can work on your own terms. Some examples are for example task rabbit where  you can see it can for example be help moving personal assistant, flooring and tiling there,  furniture assembly, all kind of different things here that you can do and you can then also see  that for example for help moving that sometimes people actually charge up to $50 per hour. So  it can definitely build up and that's just

one example. Another popular one is for example  to become a delivery driver for something like Door Dash but these are just two examples. I  do have a list on my website of the best gig economy platforms that I have come across. I'll  leave a link to that below so you can go and check that out if this is the type of work you  are interested in. And let's stick to one where you often actually also might have to move out of  your house. Some of them will be only online also, but in general for mystery shopping jobs, which is  next option here. You often have to go physically

into certain shops and then you have a task you  find through apps. That's the great thing about it. So you find it on your phone and you find  the task there. You go to the platform there and that's the same with the all the options I talked  about here. You find the jobs inside an app and for mystery shopping platforms it's great because  if you're out and about anyways, you can just take out your phone find the task there. As mentioned,  there are some where you can just do it from home

also. But most of them you have to go out and then  you will have to go and ask questions in the shop sometimes buy something things like this. And it  can be a fun way to earn a bit extra if you're out and about anyway. So if you live in a big city  where there's a lot of these different tasks and of course you need to find the legit platforms  because there are a lot of mystery shopping scams. So just keep that in mind. But I do have a list  on my website also of some of the best mystery

shopping sites and apps that I have come across.  I'll leave a link to that below also so you can go and check that out. If we are talking about  making some extra money for free from your phone, we have to talk about paid survey apps because  paid surveys is one of the easiest way to start earning some extra money from your phone right  away. You can just sign up for the survey apps. They're free to sign up for and then you'll  find survey inside right away. It's a way to earn a bit extra by sharing your opinion and it  takes a little bit of patience, but definitely

one of the easiest way to earn some extra money  and then you can get paid in cash, gift cards, crypto, Venmo, even bank transfer depending on  the apps you decide to use. I do have a list of the best survey apps on my website. I've tested  hundreds of survey sites and these are the best ones that have an actually app if you only want  to earn by taking paid surveys on your phone. So, I'll leave a link to that below so you can go and  check that out. If you like playing games on your phone, then you can actually also earn by doing  that. There are quite a few different get paid to

sites and apps that allow you to download games on  your phone and then when you reach certain levels, you will get paid for those different tasks. One  of the best, highest paying sites that offer this, at least in English-speaking countries and  so-called tier one countries, is Freecash. Again, I've tested hundreds of different gaming apps.  I actually also have a video where I show that I earn $72 from playing one game on my phone on  free cash. I'll leave a link in the top corner so you can check that out. But this is just one  example. But just keep in mind that if you want

to earn by playing, it should mainly be  if you enjoy playing the games anyways, then why not install it through a get-paid-to  site and then you earn a bit extra when you reach certain levels. I do have a list also of the best  places where you can earn by playing games on your phone on my website. I'll leave a link to that  below so you can go and check that out. There are also passive income apps you can just install  on your phone and then whenever you're online you will earn a bit extra in the background. In  most cases it will be by sharing your unused

internet bandwidth. In other cases it can be by  measuring your exposure to ads that is used for market research or things like this. But the one  of the best passive income apps that I have come across is Pawns. It's available worldwide and you  can actually also find games and paid surveys here. So you can also earn actively but you can  also just install it on your phone, earn a bit extra in the background while you use your phone  for other earning methods also and then you can get paid in cash or Bitcoin or gift cards. But  this is just one example of a passive income app.

I also do have a list on my website of the best  passive income apps that I have tested. I will also leave a link to that below if you think this  sounds like an interesting earning method for you. If you ever shop through your phone, then  installing a cashback app is definitely a great idea because cashback apps and websites work  the way that if you shop through that specific platform on platforms and websites and shops you  were going to shop through anyways, then you'll get a percentage back into your account there and  then you can take that out in many cases as cash.

Some apps also allow you to actually connect your  credit or debit card. So whenever you then shop in other shops, you will get a percentage back.  So that can also be really great. And there are many cashback apps and websites. One of the  popular cashback apps that is available for Android and iOS devices is Ibotta. But this is  just one example. There are many great options no matter where you live. I also do have a list  on my website of the best cashback websites. So you can go there and find the ones that you think  are the best for you. A lot of this depends on the

payout options that you prefer and also the shops  that you are regularly shopping from. The last option I want to show you is UGC or user generated  content creator. This can potentially be a way to make some quite nice money and it can potentially  even grow into something bigger and it has become very popular because you can just use your phone  and companies they have started using this more and more where they have different platforms where  they post these campaigns and then you just record

small videos about you you know doing something  depending on the task or showing a certain product or something like that. That all depends on the  campaign and then they will actually pay you for that and you don't have to have any specific  number of followers. You can start right away as long as you are creative and like creating  content and this can potentially grow into something bigger. I actually do have a full video  where I talk about UGC and becoming a content creator like that. I will leave a link in the  top corner where I explain all about the details,

what you need to consider, the pros and the cons,  the earning potential, all this. So if you think this sounds interesting, I'll leave a link in the  top corner and also below. But also just wanted to show one example, one of the easiest one to get  started with something like this is for web. But I'm also talking about this and other options in  the full video. So as mentioned, I also leave a link to that below so you can check that out. So  as you can see, there are many ways you can start

making some money from your phone. There is no  best or right or wrong option here. It all depends on your preferences and to a certain degree also  your location and your interest. So you can use all of them here. For some of them, you can even  also sign up for many of the options. For example, if you go for paid survey apps, you can sign  up for as many apps as you want to depending on how much time and effort you want to put in.  But it can also be great to use several different options. So if you, for example, use passive  income apps, survey apps, and playing games or

passive income apps together, then you spread it  out a little bit more. becomes a little bit more interesting because there are more variation. But  of course, it all depends how much time and effort you put into this. Just be realistic. These are  not magic ways to become rich or anything like this. But they are real methods. I have tested  all of them. So, I hope this video helped you. If you have any questions, any experiences yourself  you want to share, I would love to hear from you in a comment below.
