21. Gigwalk
Earning potential: 💰💰
Gigwalk is a unique app that helps businesses to gather data and complete tasks. While the name may be less recognizable than some of the other money-making sites in this review, there are currently over 1.7 million Gigwalkers who get paid to carry out an assortment of jobs.
Most tasks are brand assignments. For example, you might be asked to go to a retail store and verify that a product is priced or displayed correctly.
Signing up is simple. Create an account, answer a few questions about yourself, then connect your Paypal to receive payments.
All your work is tracked through the app, and you can set your schedule based on tasks that interest you. Tasks may take anywhere from a few minutes to hours.
22. Taskrabbit
Earning Potential: 💰💰💰
If odd jobs are your bread and butter, you should consider Taskrabbit, a site designed to save customers time on everyday tasks.
Taskrabbit is a lot like Craigslist, but with added protection. Taskers are verified and reviewed by clients, so people can rest assured they aren't getting scammed.
As a Tasker, you can pick up gigs like painting houses, putting together furniture, or making home repairs.
While you may be able to charge higher hourly rates with specialized experience, you can find entry-level tasks on the site, too. But as you accumulate positive customer reviews, you could build a sizable side hustle on Taskrabbit.
To sign up, simply create a profile, keep your hours updated, and let the clients handle the rest. They can book appointments on the site. Once you've completed the task, you'll be paid in the app and keep 100% of the profit, plus tips.
23. LifePoints
Earning Potential: 💰💰
LifePoints is another top pick if you're considering survey sites. While you're likely to get higher payouts on Branded Surveys, Lifepoints is a great alternative for quick and easy tasks.
Its surveys are typically easier to qualify for than most competitors, and you can complete the majority of them in 10 or 20 minutes.
LifePoints also operates on a points system. When you sign up for LifePoints, you get 10 bonus points to get started. From there, you can earn more points by completing surveys.
The site will match you with relevant surveys based on your interests and demographics and send them to your inbox.
LifePoints also give away weekly bonus points and has occasional drawings for TVs, tablets, and other major prizes.

25. Robinhood
Robinhood is an investment app that makes investing fun, which can be good or bad depending on how disciplined you are as an investor.
Robinhood's app is impeccably designed-smooth, sleek, intuitive, and easy to use. I find myself checking it at least 20 times a day, sometimes more. It's addictive, which makes it super easy to day-trade, an investing strategy I don't recommend.
My personal investment strategy is largely based on investing in low-cost diversified index funds, which you don't need Robinhood to do. But I also enjoy investing in individual stocks and Robinhood is the best investing app out there.
Robinhood's claim to fame is that they allow customers to make an unlimited number of commission-free trades on stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, and options in a brokerage account.

27. CrowdStreet
If you're an accredited investor and would like some skin in the commercial real estate game, CrowdStreet is worth checking out. The company offers an intuitive way to invest in commercial real estate in a way that hasn't always been accessible to individual investors.
It's free to sign up for CrowdStreet, and there are no fees for having an account or browsing the company's investment opportunities. The company does, however, earn commissions on the individual investment options, blended portfolios, and funds that it offers.

29. Rocket Money (formerly Truebill)
Have you ever signed up for a service-an online magazine or an obscure video streaming service, maybe-and then forgot you subscribed? If it's a small enough fee, you may not notice it for a few months.
Rocket Money (formerly Truebill) would like to notice for you. Download the free app, connect your main checking account or any bank account, and let the app get to work.
The app will analyze your spending habits and identify recurring charges, which you may want to eliminate. If you want to keep paying a bill, that's fine. If you don't, Rocket Money can cancel the subscription for you.
And there's more to this app. Rocket Money can negotiate with service providers on your behalf to lower your monthly fees. The service can also monitor your utilities such as cable to report outages and seek refunds.

M1 Finance is a robo-advisor that uses an algorithm to manage and re-balance an investor's portfolio.

As more Millennial investors are starting to look for where to start investing, the team at M1 Finance has done an exceptional job marketing their service to Millennials. Any time I'm searching online about personal finance and investing, it's hard not to see M1 Finance ads across most websites.

32. Google Opinion Rewards
Through the Google Opinion Rewards app, you can complete short surveys for rewards in the Google Play Store or receive payment via PayPal. Survey topics include everything from opinion polls to hotel reviews, to merchant satisfaction surveys.
Note that you will have to allow the Opinion Rewards app to have access to your location. This is because some of the surveys you will receive will be about a local store you recently visited.
There are also a couple of great features that this app offers that make it easy for you.
- They will notify you when a survey is waiting. So you don't have to bother to check in from time to time. They will alert you.
- You don't have to request payments from the rewards you've earned. Once your balance tops $2, it will automatically be transferred to your PayPal account.
33. Sweatcoin
The Sweatcoin app tracks how active you are. In addition to keeping track of your activity and encouraging you to hit your physical goals, it also rewards you for it!
How can Sweatcoin afford to pay you to walk? Easy: they make money from advertising on the marketplace section of its app.
Approximately 1,000 steps will get you 0.95 Sweatcoins, which is worth roughly $.05. This won't make you a substantial amount of money unless you're a marathon runner, but why not make a little extra cash by being healthy?
You have the option to cash out early, but be patient with it, as there are higher payouts if you reach certain milestones. You can either cash out $100 for a little over 7,000 Sweatcoins or cash out $1,000 for 20,000 Sweatcoins. That's a much better return for your efforts!
ENJOY IT..
