10 Aplikasi dapat menjana duit

Walaupun ramai yang pasti mahu menafikannya, hakikat sebenar buat masa kini adalah majoriti manusia tidak mampu berenggang dengan telefon pintar mereka. Buktinya dapat dilihat melalui laporan Digital in 2017: Southeast Asia yang dikeluarkan hasil kerjasama di antara agensi global, We Are Social dan platform pengurusan media social, Hootsuite.

Menurut laporan tersebut, daripada jumlah 30.96 juta penduduk di Malaysia, sebanyak 20 juta orang adalah aktif menggunakan media sosial melalui telefon mudah alih mereka. Jumlah tersebut adalah hampir 65 peratus daripada jumlah keseluruhan penduduk negara ini.

Laporan tersebut juga mengatakan bahawa secara puratanya rakyat Malaysia melayari Internet melalui komputer peribadi atau tablet selama 8 jam 31 minit sehari. Jumlah masa purata yang dihabiskan bagi melayari Internet melalui telefon mudah alih pula adalah 3 jam 43 minit sehari.

Tidak cukup dengan itu, satu laporan oleh TechCrunch menunjukkan masyarakat dunia secara puratanya menggunakan sebanyak 30 aplikasi telefon pintar dalam sebulan. Jika penggunaan sebegitu banyak aplikasi dan masa yang dihabiskan, mengapa anda tidak mengambil peluang untuk menjana pendapatan tambahan?

Jangan risau, di sini kami bukan mahu usulkan anda menjual barang di Facebook ataupun mengikuti skim 'multi-level' di internet. Sebaliknya, Rojak Daily Skop! nyatakan 10 aplikasi telefon pintar yang menawarkan wang kepada anda dengan cara melengkapkan kaji selidik, menonton video, berkongsi gambar, melakukan pekerjaan mudah dan lain-lain lagi.


1. DAPAT BALIK DUIT SETIAP KALI MEMBELI BELAH





ShopBack adalah satu syarikat yang memulangkan sehingga 30 peratus dari wang anda kembali apabila anda membuat sebarang pembelian atas talian dengan mana-mana syarikat yang berdaftar dengan mereka.
Anda boleh membeli tiket penerbangan, menempah bilik hotel, membeli pakaian ataupun buku, merancang perjalanan, membeli makanan dan bermacam-macam lagi kerana terdapat lebih 500 gedung dan servis atas talian yang berdaftar dengan mereka.

Antaranya ialah Lazada, Zalora, eBay, Amazon, Taobao, Agoda, Booking.com, Expedia, Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, Foodpanda, Samsung, Grab, Nike, Kinokuniya dan lain-lain lagi. Malah, senarai syarikat ini bertambah saban hari.

Bagaimana pula mereka mampu memulangkan kembali sebahagian daripada wang pembelian anda? Sebenarnya, syarikat yang terbabit dalam aktiviti urusniaga tersebut memberi komisen kepada ShopBack kerana telah membawa anda ke laman sesawang mereka untuk melakukan pembelian. Sebahagian daripada komisen inilah yang digunakan oleh ShopBack untuk diberikan kepada anda!

Anda juga akan memperolehi wang percuma sekiranya anda berjaya merujuk rakan anda untuk turut menggunakan ShopBack. Wang akan dibayar kepada anda selepas sejumlah nilai pembelian yang ditetapkan dilakukan oleh rakan anda itu.

Malah, mereka juga akan menerima wang bonus permulaan kerana mendaftar melalui rujukan anda. ShopBack boleh dilayari samada melalui komputer peribadi ataupun telefon pintar.

2. JANGAN BUANG DULU RESIT ANDA

Seandainya anda bukan seorang yang suka mebuat pembelian secara atas talian tetapi sebaliknya gemar pergi sendiri ke tempat yang diingini, anda boleh mencuba aplikasi Manis. 

Cara untuk mendapat ganjaran adalah cukup mudah. Anda hanya perlu membelanjakan wang di mana-mana syarikat yang terlibat dengan Manis, dan kemudian menangkap gambar resit pembelian anda menggunakan telefon mudah alih.

Kemudian, selepas memasukkan maklumat yang diperlukan dan memuat naik gambar resit tadi, anda akan menerima mata ganjaran (RM1 perbelanjaan di resit bersamaan 1 mata). Mata ganjaran tersebut kemudian boleh ditebus untuk mendapatkan barangan seperti top up prepaid, tiket wayang, baucar membeli belah dan lain-lain lagi.

Mata ganjaran juga diperolehi  apabila anda berjaya merujuk rakan anda untuk menggunakan aplikasi ini. Setakat ini, Manis sudah mendapat penarafan 3.8 bintang di Google Play Store dan 2.8 bintang di iTunes.

3. DAPAT DUIT SAMBIL MENCUBA APLIKASI DAN PERMAINAN



Tap Cash Rewards adalah aplikasi Android yang mempunyai penarafan yang tinggi di Google Play Store iaitu 4.3 bintang. Anda hanya perlu memuat turun dan menggunakan aplikasi dan permainan mudah alih percuma yang ditawarkan oleh Tap Cash Rewards.

Sekiranya anda mendaftar sebagai seorang VIP, anda juga akan mendapat mata ganjaran harian apabila anda masuk menggunakan aplikasi ini setiap hari. Ahli VIP memerlukan anda untuk menggunakan akaun Facebook anda bersama dengan Tap Cash Rewards.

4. JANGAN LUPA TANGKAP GAMBAR



Populariti laman sosial seperti Instagram dan hashtag seperti #OOTD membuktikan bahawa masyarakat gemar memuat naik gambar pelbagai barangan dan jenama.

5. TAMPAL, PANDU DAN DAPAT WANG

Satu kajian yang dijalankan oleh McGill University, Canada mendapati bahawa memandu kereta merupakan kaedah pengangkutan yang memberikan tahap tekanan yang paling tinggi. Jadi, apa kata anda kurangkan sedikit tekanan memandu tersebut dengan menjana sedikit wang?

Aplikasi Moola membolehkan anda memilih sesuatu kempen dan selepas itu memasang pelekat berdasarkan kempen tersebut di kereta anda untuk dibawa berjalan. Bagaimanapun, terdapat proses penilaian dan saringan terlebih dahulu sebelum anda diterima untuk mengambil bahagian dalam kempen tersebut.

Terdapat pelbagai jenis kempen yang ditawarkan oleh Moola. Ianya terdapat di seluruh Malaysia tetapi kebanyakan lebih tertumpu di kawasan Lembah Klang. Jumlah bayaran adalah berbeza mengikut kempen tetapi secara kebiasaannya, jika anda memandu sejauh 35km sehari (pada waktu siang), anda boleh memperolehi sehingga RM800 sebulan.

6. DARI JADI MAT REMPIT, BAIK JADI MAT DESPATCH

Anda suka menghabiskan masa anda di jalan raya? Sama ada anda menunggang motorsikal, memandu kereta mahupun lori, anda boleh memohon untuk menjadi seorang 'despatch' (tukang hantar barang) mengikut kesuaian masa anda melalui aplikasi MatDespatch.

Aplikasi Android ini menawarkan servis penghantaran barang pada hari yang sama di sekitar Lembah Klang. Setakat ini penarafan yang diterima di Google Play Store adalah 3.8 bintang. Jika tempat kerja anda banyak menerima barang penghantaran setiap bulan, ada baiknya anda menggunakan aplikasi ini untuk menambah pendapatan!

How to Make Money Online

7 Realistic Ways to Make Money Online

1. Leverage the app economy.

If you're looking to address some immediate financial needs, then the app economy is likely right for you. Thanks to the global sharing phenomenon, launched in part by our smartphones and ever-burgeoning global connectivity, you could easily opt for some quick active income by using well-known apps. From ride sharing to deliveries and even quick tasks, there's an app for that today, as the saying goes. 

Drive for Uber or Lyft: If you're in a locale where you can find Uber or Lyft (or even one of the many competitors around the world such as China's Didi), you could easily make a respectable income. The hours are flexible and you can work as you see fit, making it perfect even if you currently have full-time employment but are looking to make some money on the side. Deliver for Postmates: Apps like Postmates are a dime a dozen today. Still, Postmates is by far the most popular, and you don't even need a car in some locations to make money with this app. In some urban developments and major metropolises like Manhattan, a bike would suffice. 

iBotta: Earn cash back rewards by purchasing featured products at major retailers. All you have to do is add rebates, go shopping, then snap a photo of your receipt to earn your cash back. Simple and effective. Plus this app has over 50,000 five-star reviews on the App Store. 

Task Rabbit: Another simple and straightforward app for making a bit of side-hustle income is the Task Rabbit app. Tasks can be anything from simple repairs to more exhaustive undertakings. The app carefully vets each service provider to ensure the highest quality, and it's a great way to make some extra income on the side on your own terms. 

Ebates: This app offers a simple way to make money online by buying whatever you're already buying and then getting a cash-back reward. With eBates, there's no scanning receipts. Simply click a link in the app and buy from the store. You'll automatically be credited your cash rewards upon purchase along with receiving an email confirmation.  

Swagbucks: With Swagbucks, there are a number of ways you can make money. You can shop online, watch videos, answer surveys and surf the web. The app gives you both cash back and gift cards as a reward for your efforts. 

Inbox Dollars: Another app you can use to make money online is Inbox Dollars, which pays you for watching television, taking surveys and shopping. There are cash offers here and it's relatively similar to some of the other apps in this arena.  

2. Use existing websites.

You could also opt to use existing websites for making money. These include both active income and passive income methods. For example, you could sell some used items or invest in creating some digital designs that then can be sold on merchandise. Again, devote a sizable portion of your time to passive income so that you can slowly build up earnings that will arrive on autopilot without any extra added effort. 

Of course, a large portion of these sites do have their own respective apps. But these are certainly less involved in the gig economy, and more so in the longer term projects that exist in the fields of photography, online marketing, graphic design and web development, for example. 

Craigslist: This site has been the go-to resource for over a decade now for people that are looking to make a bit of extra money online. You can easily sell your used stuff, rent out a spare room in your home or apartment, and offer up your services to the world. 

Upwork: This website offers a great marketplace for selling just about any professional service. You don't need a merchant account, website of your own or anything else for that matter. All you need to do is be able to provide a high-quality service at a reasonable price. But be informed, you will have to compete with many others that are constantly bidding on open jobs. 

Cafe Press: This website allows you to create digital designs that can then be sold on the platform. You'll earn a commission for everything that sells and you'll never have to deal with printing, warehousing, customer service and so on. The site has over 2 million independent designers that have created products being sold online here. If you have some graphic design skills, then this is a great potential source for your web-based income. 

Fiverr: Israeli-based Fivver was started in 2010 by Shal Wininger and Micha Kaufam. It's a great resource for selling just about any service online. You can offer gigs as low as $5 but also get paid much more for upgrades and add-ons. There are plenty of providers earning 6 figures on Fiverr so it's definitely a worthwhile cause for generating a healthy income. Just ensure that you provide some serious value. 

Mechanical Turk: Amazon's Mechanical Turk is a resource for doing human-intelligence tasks, or as the site commonly refers to them, HITs. You get paid a very small fee for any given HIT and you'll need a good deal of volume to make a substantial amount of money. But it is a resource you can use in your spare time to generate a small income online. 

Flippa: If you have a penchant for buying and selling, you could use Flippa, and its higher-end counterpart, Deal Flow Brokerage to buy and sell websites for a profit. You'll need to know what you're doing here, but you could easily make a sizable income by flipping income-generating websites for profit. 

Etsy: While Etsy's popularity has declined recently, it's still a great resource for selling handmade items online. No need for complex ecommerce sites or merchant accounts or any sort of automation. The company takes a commission of every sale and charges a small listing fee per item. But many still use Etsy as their primary source of income. The best part is that you can also sell digital products on here such as poster designs. 

Shutterstock and iStockPhoto: Have a keen eye for photography? Why not sell photos on some of the leading photography sites. You'll need some design software skills to tag along. But if you do have skill in this arena, it's a great potential source for passive income. 

3. Sell your own stuff.

Ready to enter the ecommerce fray? Why not sell your own stuff. Of course, along with selling your own stuff on your own website comes a whole slew of both responsibilities and technical configuration and requirements. For starters, you'll need a website and a hosting account. You'll also need a merchant account (sure you can use Stripe or PayPal). Then you'll need to design that site, build a sales funnel, create a lead magnet and do some email marketing.

You'll also need ecommerce software, fulfillment software, worry about warehousing, customer service, refunds and so on. But that's not all. You'll also need traffic. Think search engine optimization, Facebook ads, and other social media campaigns. Sound like a lot of work? Sure, it is. Especially if you do it all on your own. You could opt for Amazon's platform, which might be the easier route. But, then again, at the end of the day, this is a serious business, which could produce significant profits. So you're either all in or you're not. 

Shopify Ecommerce: Want to build your own storefront? You could opt to create a Shopify store. You could also install WooCommerce as a plugin and run your ecommerce store from your blog. You'll need an SSL certificate and a way to process payments, but you might find this easier to get up and running fast to start selling immediately. 

Fulfilled-by-Amazon (FBA): You could easily start selling on the largest online store in the world and forget all the muss and fuss about building out your own infrastructure and worrying about traffic. You will need to pay a commission, but most of the other processes will be automated for you. 

Drop-shipping: Amazon offers one form of drop-shipping, but there are other resources for drop-shipping products that you'll never actually have to see or handle yourself. You'll simply need to close the sale. Providers like SaleHoo, Worldwide Brands, and many others, offer you a great resource for drop-shipping your products.  

High-ticket consulting or coaching: You could sell your own high-ticket consulting or coaching products from your website. You'll still need a website, merchant account, sales funnel, lead magnet and many other items. But you can easily earn a substantial amount of money from each individual customer, making it well worth the arduous setup required. 

4. Sell as an affiliate.

There are loads of resources for making money online as an affiliate. You could source products from ClickBank, Commission Junction, Rakuten Marketing, Share-a-Sale,Impact Radius and many others. Plus, many of the larger companies have their own affiliate programs as well. Do your due diligence and find the right company with a relevant product or service to your audience that you can sell as an affiliate.

In some cases, you will need an active website with substantial traffic to get approved. Selling as an affiliate isn't easy by any means, but if you do have the audience, it can definitely amount to a substantial amount of income.

5. Start a blog.

If you're serious about making money online, start a blog. Blogging is one of the easiest and most sustainable income sources. As long as the blog is setup the right way, in the right niche, with the right content targeted at the right audience, and the offer is complementary to the content, you could make a tremendous amount of passive income from a blog.

While some might think that starting a blog is an arduous effort, when you understand the precise steps you need to take, it becomes far easier. It all starts in the decision of choosing a profitable niche and picking the right domain name. From there, you need to build your offers. You can easily sell things like mini-email courses, full-blown trainings, ebooks, and so on.

6. Email marketing.

The money is most certainly in the list. If you're at all interested in online marketing, setup email software and create a lead magnet that you can use in your sales funnel. Then, build up that list. It's often said that you can expect to earn about $1 per subscriber per month. If you have a list of 10,000 subscribers, that means you can earn roughly around $10,000 per month. You will need to deliver value and not pitch them on every email, but it is a very achievable goal in a short period.

There are many ways to get people onto your list. Lead magnets are one such resource. For example, you can build ebooks, checklists and cheat sheets. But you can also do content upgrades, such as PDF versions of an article with added resources in them, four-part video training series, and more. Think about your audience and what you can offer them to better serve them, then treat them with some respect and you'll eventually reap the rewards.

7. Webinars trainings.

Webinars are quite possibly one of the most potent ways you can make an exorbitant amount of money online. Russell Brunson often says that if you do a webinar every single week for a year, you'll be a millionaire at the end of it. You'll need an audience to train and you'll need to know what you're talking about. Of course, this usually requires having a website and some semblance of an online presence.

However, people can still do webinars without all of that. For example, you might have a sizable social media following and you train them every week on something to do with social media. But you will need a product to embed and sell at some point. Don't worry about it in the beginning. And by far, the best webinar platform out there is certainly GoToWebinar. Hands down, there isn't even another platform that comes close.

However, not matter what method you choose to make money online, understand that you might be able to make some money fast, but for the sizable returns, you'll need significant sweat equity. However, a year from now, you'll be happy you started today. Remember, time is far more valuable than money. Focus on creating passive income streams that will free up your time so that you can quit the rat race and focus on the things that matter. That's the important thing here.
