If you enjoy taking pictures, then Foap can be a fun way to earn extra money. The app is simple to use. Once you upload your photos, you can earn cash when someone decides to buy them. As a fun creative outlet, this could be a way to create a small income stream from your photography.

Foap is a mobile app that allows you to make money by selling pictures you take with your phone.
What’s nice is that one photo can sell multiple times, which allows you to generate a source of passive income.
The best way to earn is through “missions,” in which Foap teams up with a specific brand to show how everyday people like you use their product.
Minimum withdrawal: There’s no minimum, but Foap pays you once per month via PayPal.
Bookscouter
Bookscouter is one of the best earning apps that helps you to sell books quickly. If you are an avid reader, Bookscouter can be a great way to turn your used books into cash. Personally, I use this app to clean out my bookcase a few times each year.

4.1 with 555 reviews | 4.4 with 1,911 reviews |
A popular free app among book lovers, Bookscouter allows you to sell used books.
How it works is that you enter or scan a book’s ISBN number and Bookscouter provides a list of companies looking to purchase that title (and how much they’re willing to pay).
Those who earn the most know where to find used books for cheap (garage sales, library book sales, etc.), and use the app on-the-spot to find the ones that will fetch the highest profit margins.
S´More

Not available | 4.4 with 56,801 reviews |
S’more, available only for Android devices, is one of the most popular ways to make money from your lockscreen.
With S’more, you can earn extra money by placing an ad on your phone’s lock screen. If you like what you see, you can swipe left to learn more. If not, just swipe right to open up your phone as normal. Either way, you’re earning some extra cash.
Users can expect to earn about $3 to $5 per month on average, with the option to cash out via PayPal. While not the most exciting way to earn money, over the course of a year you can save up around $50 to use as you wish.
Minimum Withdrawal: $1.

I am David, economist, originally from Britain, and studied in Germany and Canada. I am now living in the United States. I have a house in Ontario, but I actually never go. I wrote some books about sovereign debt, and mortgage loans. I am currently retired and dedicate most of my time to fishing. There were many topics in personal finances that have currently changed and other that I have never published before. So now in Business Finance, I found the opportunity to do so. Please let me know in the comments section which are your thoughts. Thank you and have a happy reading.
