I love finding new ways to make easy money in my spare time. That is why I started this blog after all. I bet you are thinking there is no way you can make an extra $1000 this month with your phone. Well, it is totally possible. No joke!

The side hustles that my wife and I have taken on in the past couple years has helped us towards paying our house off, pay off my student loans, take care of bills and tons more! Having a side hustle can also give you some peace of mind about your current financial situation if you can’t make enough at your day job or worse, hate your day job. You never know, that side hustle you love could one day become your main hustle.

It seems like everyday there is a new smart phone app released that is geared towards helping it’s users earn more extra money. Using some of these smart phone apps make me an average of $500 or so every month of extra money. However, if you have the time and determination it is possible to make up to $1000 a month using smartphone apps.

Extra money you make could go towards a vacation fund, holiday fund, car or house, or maybe even early retirement! The possibilities are endless and in my opinion, quite exciting.

Ready to make easy money this month with your phone? Let’s cut to the chase already!

It is definitely easy to make money with your phone. However, it takes some dedication in your spare time to keep up with these apps so the money continues to add up.

It isn’t like you click one thing on these apps and the money automatically rolls in. You have to follow the directions provided in the app and stay consistent with the ways to make money on the app to watch the money add up.

Poshmark

Let me start off with the fact that I freaking LOVE Poshmark! Poshmark is an app you can use to sell any clothing you have lying around that hasn’t been worn or you only wore once or twice. You can also sell accessories, cosmetic and beauty products, purses, wallets, belts, jewelry, etc. I even sold hair dye through this app! So you can really sell anything using this app and it is so incredibly easy to use making it one of my favorite ways to make money in my spare time.

You start off by choosing some items around the house that you want to sell. Make a nice presentation of the items and select ‘Sell’ from the bottom center of the app screen to start taking pictures of your items and add description and lastly, pricing. Then you add the items to your closet where your followers will then see and share to their followers. People can then offer on your items, bundle your items and offer, or buy your items. You can also do trades but I don’t do trades. When someone buys something you will get a shipping label in your email and all you have to do from there is pack up the item and slap the shipping label on top and place in your mailbox!

When I first downloaded Poshmark, I thought no one would actually buy my stuff. I was sorely mistaken as from the 2nd day of having this app I was selling stuff like crazy! This is where I make the most money from every month out of all the apps mentioned in this post. I have already made $200 this month using Poshmark and the month is not over yet. I aim for $300 by the end of the month. However, if you have brands in high demand and items to sell that run at a higher price you can easily make $500 – $1000 a month by selling on Poshmark.
