Someone having an iPhone or Android phone will find this post useful. Having a smart phone these days has just become so viral. So if you have a one, why not use it for earning some rewards or cash..surprised??? Yes, now you can use your smart phone for earning money (or rewards) in spare time like travelling in the bus, in train or just when you simply are doing nothing. All that you need is a smart phone & Internet activated on it. You can be rewarded for watching videos or television or short duration adds, downloading apps, buying music from iTunes store. I found earning rewards in return for downloading music very interesting ..simply you get paid for listening music....that sounds nice na. Certain applications give you the option to collect points for doing various tasks & redeem those points for gift cards & discounts. So this expensive smart-phone that you are carrying may help you to add a little cash to your pocket-money. Here we go:-
