Apps & Sites | Money Routine
The following is a list of apps/sites I use or have used in the past divided into sections of what type of stuff you do to earn. Each one includes some basic info and tips plus some even have dedicated pages full of tips for them.
If they are linked or include a code, it’s my referral link! So if they don’t have a link or you don’t want to use my referrals, just search for them with your favorite search engine instead.
Current
Variety
To qualify as a “Variety” site/app, these ones have to include any combination of Videos, OfferWalls, Surveys, Search, Downloads, etc and some of the features have to be made by themselves, not a third-party (like EngageMe for instance for videos). These usually pay big cause the vast amount of stuff you can do and the unique exclusive features.

Offerwalls
These sites/apps are mostly a “wrapper” around offerwalls and 3rd-party video providers like EngageMe, VideoLab, and VideoLoyalty with nothing provided by themselves. Not the fastest earners but if you are a busy person, most of these run with 24/7 with very little intervention!

Faucets
Faucets are sites that pay you for completing a captcha every so many minutes or hours. Most of them pay in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies which means the amount you earn can change value at any moment so keep a track on BTC prices and withdraw as soon as price drops significantly to minimize loss.
These won’t be included in the earnings below because of Bitcoin’s constant price changes.
- FreeBitco.in (Web)
- Fill out the CAPATCHA and claim once an hour.
- Disable Lottery in Settings and try to stock up on Reward Points (RP) by redeeming RP for a RP bonus on each roll. Once you have a nice stock of RPs where you can buy both an RP bonus and Free BTC bonus while still being able to regain the RP, do it for maximum BTC.
- Disable Automatic Withdrawals and use their Earn tab to earn interest. The
amount of interest you earn each day will grow as you continue to claim.
- TIP: Use the Deposit feature to get a BTC wallet address and use that address for all the below sites to combine all the BTC withdrawals into FreeBitco.in and earn intrest!

Former
These ones I used to do but stopped because I either couldn’t get them to work at all, they take way too long to do, or are scams you should avoid.
Videos

Social Networking

- Post as much as you can! More posts equals more points!

- Up/Down vote as many posts as you can a day. Try to hit the limit.

Passive Interest
Once you’ve earned money via the above sites, you should put some of it into these sites to earn interest on them if you aren’t actively using it all.
Savings Accounts
Savings accounts earn slowly but are very stable and consistent. There’s two main types, “normal” which allows up to 6 withdrawals per month in case you really need the cash and CD (aka Certificate of Deposit) which has no withdrawals unless you pay a massive penalty but usually has higher rates for more earnings.
I use Ally Bank as their normal Savings accounts has one of the highest rates at 1.15% APY (most are under 1%, usually like 0.01% so it’s massively better).
For Bitcoin, you can use FreeBitco.in as mentioned above.
Stocks
Stocks are very volatile! Don’t go crazy and lose everything!
- Acorns (Web/Apps)
- Automatically rounds up change from purchases and invests it into Stocks
- Cashback when purchasing through them that gets invested.
- 3 monthly plans:
- Acorns ($1/month): Merely what’s mentioned above.
- Acorns + Acorns Later ($2/month): What’s above + a retirement IRA account.
- Acorns + Later + Spend ($3/month): A full checking account with instant roundups, more cashback in local stores, and no extra fees.
- Robinhood
- Free (as in no fees, not no money entirely) to do stock market trading
- By joining with someone’s Referral (like mine above), you will get a completely free share (so both no fees & no money from you) on join & a free share for anyone who signs up under you! So if you want to try stocks with basically no risk as it’s all profit, this is a great way to do it.
