How to get paid with apps, the question that everyone is asking at the minute.

The bad news is, your more likely to pay for them than you are to get paid with apps. The good news is I have finally found an app that pays you. It sounds too good to be true but this could become a more and more common place.

Get paid for information

Anybody that has Googled “make money online” or some similar phrase has come across a “get paid to complete surveys” kind of site. These sites are completely legitimate and do pay you to fill out questionnaires (a lot of people make a nice second income from this). The surveys will come from a company who is undertaking market research. The information you complete is very valuable to these people and as such they will pay the websites (who will then pay you) a lot of money to complete the surveys. They can then tailor their products and services and look for gaps in the market.

Targeted advertising

If you are watching a TV show then the adverts shown during breaks will be tailored to the kind of people the advertisers think watch the program. For example adverts at half-time of football games will normally show a variety of cars, razors and beers. The advertisers do this for a reason and that is there is no point in advertising to a group of people that will never be interested in your product. This way of advertising still only targets around 25%-35% of people who are actually interested (if you are forced to watch a program by your wife/husband chances are the adverts will not appeal to you). Advertisers want more than this.

Highly targeted advertising

This is the future of advertising with Facebook leading the way. Ever noticed how if you change your relationship status or update your hobbies/interests that the adverts you receive also change? This isn’t coincidence. Facebook passes on information about us to advertisers who can then run a campaign that tailor made, for example a wedding firm may target Engaged 26 year old females.

Get paid with apps

It wont be long until applications are created that send you a quick survey to complete and return for a small fee. In the meantime there is a great app that pays you just to read a message, I know this sounds too good to be true but let me explain. When you join you will be asked to fill out information about yourself like your hobbies and interests. You will then receive messages that target only these interests. Advertisers love this way of advertising as you have told them exactly what you like. You will receive a small message with information about an upcoming product or even a voucher to be redeemed and get paid to read it.

There is also an option to invite your friends and get paid for each message they receive. This way of advertising is going to be big so why not get you friends signed up now, before they already do on their own.
