How to Make Money and Increase Your Savings

3. Earn a Passive Income by Using These Apps

There are now apps and websites available that will pay you to use their app or site. Some of these apps and websites collect consumer data – when do people browse the most, which websites do they visit and how long do they stay, etc.

Still others will pay you to interface with advertisers; this can be done either by watching video ads or just looking at simple advertisements.

Two of the top apps – Paribus and Drop – can help you make some money – as much as $100 a year.

Paribus, once you register, will scan your email history for all receipts. If you have bought something from one of the retailers it monitors, then it will track that item’s price. If there has been a price drop in that product, then Paribus will help you get a refund.

Drop, on the other hand, gives you points when you use your debit or credit card to make a Drop-qualified purchase. A qualified purchase could be anything – grocery shopping, taking an Uber, getting something to eat, etc. Once you have enough points, you can redeem them for gift cards from retailers like Amazon or Starbucks.
