1q - get $0.25 to $0.50 per question answered on your phone
« on: December 02, 2015, 03:37:55 PM »
Hi Mustachians -

Long-time reader of the blog, and more recently this subforum. I picked up a couple nice tips for easy extra cash here recently (the AmEx offer and the Bing searches) and thought others might be in 1q. I signed up this morning via the beermoney subreddit.

The basic idea is that you get paid for answering questions on your phone/tablet - each question is worth $0.25 or $0.50, though they sometimes come bundled in groups of 5+ (and are then worth $1.25-$2.50, etc). The nice thing about it is that the cash is paid out via PayPal almost immediately. It's by no means a huge income generator (I made $1.75 after signing up), but is easy enough that it seems worth it. I'm generally a high reward:effort guy (avoid surveys, etc), but this seems convenient enough that I might stick with it.

A few screens are attached (note the average response time is the time since I received the question, not how long it takes to answer).

My referral link, if interested -

Does it let you set what times you are willing to take questions? I wouldn't want to get a terrible response time because I was at work or otherwise busy.. Plus I wouldn't want to always be "on"- more like a few minutes at a time when I would otherwise be mindlessly websurfing.

Good question - the app doesn't appear to let you limit notification windows. You can ignore the questions for as long as you want, but their FAQ does mention that some questions have response quotas, so might not stay available forever. It looks like there's no penalty otherwise for having a long response time, though.

I signed up with your link. I'm curious to see how many questions I get.

They won't let me sign up with my Google Voice number :(

Yeah - eager to see how many questions people get. Would be great if it ends up being robust. From what I saw on reddit, it tends to favor people in urban areas more than rural.

Too bad about Google Voice!
