As the MCO or Movement Control Order has spread, many Malaysians are stuck at home with just their smartphones, their savings rapidly dwindling and almost no way to earn anything. While it’s not impossible to work with just your smartphone (we do it all the time), here’s how to earn real rewards and cash with just your smartphone using these 3 best mobile apps.
#1. 8coin – share content on social networks
If you like to share stuff on social media, you can get 8 coins for it which you can redeem for free stuff, extra money and vouchers. Granted, you’ll have to share promos that need to be shared by others before you can earn more than 8 coins, but it’s backed by Media Prima Digital, so it’s definitely legit. Get started with 8coin on Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
#2. GigaGigs – microtasks for money
Microtasks on GigaGigs include conducting surveys or trying out new products or services. If you complete them, you can earn money or points.
Although registration is free, some products or services may require money to try, but each survey usually costs RM2 or more. You can download GigaGigs from Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
#3. Google Opinion Rewards – Quick Surveys for Free Play Store Credit
Relatively new, the Google Opinion Rewards app gives you free Google Play Store credit when you take quick surveys. While that means you’re limited to paid apps and in-app purchases, at least you don’t need to use real money for it.
Obviously, it is available on the Google Play Store, but also on the Apple App Store.
Bonus: weekly smartphone/gadget giveaway
So those are the top 3 mobile apps that Malaysians can use to earn rewards online, but if you didn’t already know, our very own TechNave app lets you earn smartphones and other gadgets for free with our giveaways.
So far, prizes have included gadgets and devices such as Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0, Huawei MatePad Pro, Honor 9X, Redmi Note 9S, OPPO A91, realme 6i and more. But that’s not all as we are looking to offer even more very soon.
Although each giveaway is set up as a raffle, you can have a higher chance of winning by winning and using tickets for the giveaway you’re interested in. You can get these tickets by registering using the app, sharing the app on your social media and referring friends.
Registration is free and you can download the TechNave app from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Once you’ve signed up on the TechNave app, take a look as we also cover the latest tech news, gadget reviews, phone specs and price comparison tools plus sales listings retail stores nearby.
Extra bonus: additional sites to earn rewards
Yes, we know these aren’t apps, but since they’re accessible on your smartphone from the browser, these extra sites should still be great if you’re looking to earn more rewards online. Check them out below:
- Rakuten Insights – Surveys for Money
- Netizen Testing – Get paid to test websites
And that’s it for this time. Hope you can earn awesome rewards, smartphones, gadgets or maybe even some cash with your smartphone only during this MCO. Did we miss something?
