Who Do I Love?? The Apps and Websites I Love [Updated]

Who Do I Love?? The Apps and Websites I Love 2018 [Updated]

These are the apps and websites I love 2018 – or right now. More generally, I still love them now after time! AND these are what I recommend to everyone over and over and over..I basically checked my email for this post.

**updated

This is slightly updated as of October 2018. Primarily, I added links (with referral codes) as I neglected that the first time. But also…why do I love these and why was this post so short and thrown together seemingly out of nowhere? I love them because it is what I go back to over time and I am huge on past experience with things. These have proven themselves (some are a bit new but not too new for me to include).

The thrown together out of nowhere (or I think that because I am a bit of a perfectionist) aspect? This is my list that I jot down quickly when thinking of my favorites and trying to use the ones I trust fast. Not spend time using new ones or writing it all out. This post started out my own list. So it is the ones I think of. I think that makes it more honest but take it how you will.

APPS AND WEBSITES I LOVE 2018 – ABSOLUTE FAVES

who do I mention non stop when anyone asks what apps or websites I use? well a few… I like to give a range. But its gotten pretty consistent with my absolute faves that I still love. So here is what I mention.

My absolute favorites 💞

 

methinks – hands down favorite.

dscout – also love. pay is amazing.

check out my post on do you like talking for more on those two.

Those are two of my faves for sure, but because I do not think everyone likes talking as much as me (and sometimes I shut up).. here are the other apps/websites I also recommend…

Receipt Scanning Apps

Ibotta – sign up via https://ibotta.com/r/nvwmboe.

Fetch Rewards (app) – use my code for 2,000 points: CJ1GJ.

see my post on receipt apps for more.

Savings

Dosh: get via https://link.dosh.cash/k7pbuqud9M.

Drop: use this code – janq5. Or, you can use this link https://b.ewd.io/code?c=janq5.

GetUpside: get via https://upside.app.link/3SXU2

A few of these are more local. I am sorry for that. Honestly – you may find good ones in your area that I just do not have much availability to here. And it depends on where you spend money as well. If these do not work, I bet there is one for your area. If you wonder about any – contact me.

also see my master saving money and time post list for more info on these and others.

And another…

EBates (App, Website and Chrome Extension Plugin) which you can sign-up for via https://www.ebates.com/r/CLAURE106?eeid=28187. This is a more widespread option, and I do like it’s plug-in for Chrome which I talk abut in my browser extension post.

Surveys

Swagbucks.com

• This is a website which you can create an account for via this link: http://www.swagbucks.com/p/register?rb=36445920
• It also has many apps that allow you to earn SwagBucks towards your overall account.
  • One example is SwagBucks Answer, which was always my favorite survey app.
• BUT, the website and all the apps combined, offer a ton of ways to earn.
• So sign up and explore! (****and keep them all under the same account so you do not spread points over multiple accounts. I would recommend first creating one via the website and then downloading apps if you want to and choosing the log-in/sign-in option when you do. Your website log-in information should work for the apps so do not create a new account – unless you want to.).

Grindabuck.com – offers a lot of options for getting points and also for redeeming and so its hard to argue there.

• Website: sign up via this link – http://grindabuck.com/index?ref=wandering4

Fusioncash.com

• Website: sign up via this link – https://www.fusioncash.net/?ref=wanderingformoney
• good sign up bonus. The only down-side (and to me this is something I hate) is the long pay-out period. If you aren’t as intense as me but also do not need a payout right away, then this may not be an issue. To me, it is rather annoying regardless. But I recommend this one despite that and if you are not as intense as me you will probably be fine.

See my earn while watching videos / 6 ways to make money online watching videos in 2018 post for more and other similar options. These all include watching videos as a way to earn points/money.

Microtasks

JobSpotter

• Great app that rewards in points for taking pictures of help wanted signs. Pays out to Amazon Gift Card.
• I love this one.

1Q

• Sign up here: 1Q.com/97goef

Google Rewards

• Sign up here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-opinion-rewards/id1227019728?ls=1&mt=8
• it is an app and that link is to iTunes. Have Samsung/a Google Play phone? If you open that link on your phone it *should* lead you to the right place. If not, contact me.

See my micro-task post on more and other similar options.

While they all pay small amounts, they all take tiny bits of time. JobSpotter I have made a bit on and just love because it is fun and I think it is great to help get local help wanted signs up on indeed. 1Q pays SUPER fast so I *love* that.

 

Secret Shops

Presto InstaShop

• App. Visit the website here https://insta.prestometrics.com/site/Map to see available shops near you and to download the app.
• Want fast paying shops? Look for the blue pin-drops on the map. *note: depending on time of day/week/month and location, they may not show up. Just keep checking.
• food ordering shops? check out this webpage for more information – http://shopper-support.prestomobilesurveys.com/support/solutions/articles/8000065197-food-ordering-website-beta-test-project 

Others

Mindsumo – can pay great. app. hearing back on things can be very, very, very slow. 1 month plus. But now that I have said that is an issue for me… it does still pay well if you have a nice idea that wins. Note that some are limited to students however. 

• This is an app and website. Here is its website for more information – https://www.mindsumo.com/challenges.

Respondent.io – I can’t not recommend this because of the possibility of huge pay.

• visit its website to sign up and for more information on specific studies available (that you need to apply to individually but the payout can be pretty great – think focus groups).
• The website is: https://www.respondent.io/.

 

-gonna stick with that for now because this is who I recommend over time

Last thoughts

Check out my money making master list post and my saving time and money master list post for more on these and others too. Again, these apps and websites I love 2018, are my favorites. They may not be yours. That is okay! If we all liked the same thing it would be boring. So, if you like something else, that’s fantastic. If I haven’t mentioned it and you think I should, contact me.
