How to Make and Save Money with Your Phone: Best Money-Making Apps
To be honest, making money on your phone or online is risky unless you stick to legitimate platforms. You can easily get scammed, especially with things like data entry jobs or order brushing. These might seem low-barrier, but they're just traps to lure people in for fraud. Many of these activities end up dragging you into gray-market or outright illegal operations. I've tried a lot of them.
For example:
Certain quiz apps!!! The withdrawal and gold coin reviews are incredibly slow, and it's anyone's guess whether you can ever actually cash out.
Apps like Qutoutiao or Jinri Toutiao that pay you to read news. Sounds easy, right? Scrolling through news for an hour to make a few cents? Earning just over a dollar a day? That's a waste of time. Your time is worth more than that. Plus, these platforms now make it hard to earn because they want to cut costs and acquire users cheaply. You often have to invite multiple people just to unlock gold coin rewards—it's a rip-off. In fact, Jinri Toutiao seems to have already scrapped this earning method.
Data entry and brushing schemes—anyone asking for an upfront fee is a scammer. I know plenty of people who've been burned by this.
Submitting articles or writing novels for money. If your writing skills and network aren't strong, don't bother. Don't fool yourself into thinking your casual writing is worth hundreds of dollars. Full-time web writers don't make much per article. Even established novelists writing 4,000 words a day without breaks usually only earn a base salary of under 1,500 yuan—and that's with some reputation and a signed contract. What makes you think you'll get signed? Anyone telling you that "writing makes money" is just trying to sell you a writing course.
Baidu Zhidao and similar Q&A sites aren't great either. They used to let you earn decent money since there were no daily reward limits, but now you can make at most 50 cents a day by answering about five questions. Not really worth it.
All in all, most of the hype around making money on your phone doesn't pan out. Either it wastes your time, or it's a scam designed to exploit you. Is there anything better? I recently discovered one that actually works.
This one is actually interesting—I've seen it genuinely earn money. I completed two tasks, made 4 or 5 dollars, and even got some gifts worth dozens of yuan. It took about half an hour because the tasks are real and require manual review, so approval can take a day or two.

Spend half an hour a day and easily earn 4 or 5 yuan. It's not a fortune, but it's enough to help cover phone bills, transportation, and utilities. The best part is it doesn't eat up much of your time—just a little over half an hour daily. It's faster than making money watching videos or reading news, where you'd only earn a few cents in an hour. The real appeal here is the tasks: sign up to get gifts, help others to grab red packets. You earn task cash and platform commissions at the same time, so your overall return is pretty good. For example, completing a "help to receive 0.3 yuan" task might also net you a few extra dollars from the platform.
After trying many phone-making-money projects, I finally realized most are scams or just find ways to withhold your payments. Only this one lets you earn commissions from the platform while also getting subsidies from other channels. In half an hour, you can make over ten dollars. If you're interested, you can
reply with "Make Money on Phone" to download the app and start earning.
One last word: college students, it's best not to do this unless you truly have spare time that wouldn't be used for anything productive anyway—like riding the bus or waiting in the bathroom. Those are the moments you can spare to complete quick tasks, claim some gifts, and pick up a few dollars for phone credit or a couple of boxes of milk.
How to make money with a part-time job in college?
A game-testing platform I recently partnered with allows direct withdrawals to WeChat.
If you have questions or run into issues with game trial tasks, feel free to add WeChat ID L3273792437 for help.
Currently supported phone platforms:
Android uses an APK installation file, which requires allowing third-party app installs on your phone.
iPhone uses a website, but you'll need to download and authorize an app that allows ad tracking (games count as ads, so targeted ad permission is required to verify you're a real user before completing tasks and receiving payments).
Possible issues during the task process:
If a game requires you to deposit money (it may involve gambling), absolutely do not pay. Remember, your goal is to earn money, not spend it.
Then you're ready to start making money with game trial tasks!
iPhone users need to additionally download an app to authorize ad tracking.
