After spending hundreds of dollars on your Android smartphone and paying a recurring amount on your phone bills, isn’t it time you earned back some of it? While your phone may have never seemed like a tool to start making money, there are plenty of Android money making apps that will change your mind.
As comical as it may seem, rather than paying for apps on the Google Play Store, you can find apps that pay you for using them. Whether it is in the form of shopping rebates and gift cards, or hard cash transferred to your bank account for completing simple tasks and filling out surveys, here are some of the best money making apps for Android that can help you earn a few bucks with minimum effort.
Viggle
Have you ever thought of getting paid to watch your favorite TV shows or listen to your favorite music tracks? It may seem only possible in the dream of a true couch potato, but Viggle brings this dream to life. All you need to do is set up the app on your Android phone, check in every time you are listening to music and watching TV shows live or using services like Amazon, Netflix and others.
You can even watch free shows and listen to music using the Viggle app itself, and be rewarded for your pleasure in the form of Perk Points. You can then use these Perk Points to buy gift cards for Amazon, Walmart, PayPal and many others, and even trade them in to get free gifts like Bluetooth music speakers, headphones and more.

Google Opinion Rewards
If you still have trust issues on whether or not these money making apps work, you’ll be surprised to know that Google also offers one of these types of rewarding apps. Google Opinion Rewards is a great example of how market research in the form of surveys and quizzes can help you earn cash for apps usage on Android with minimum effort involved.
All you need to do is download the Google Opinion Rewards app to your phone and set it up using your personal details and Google account. Once your account is validated, Google will occasionally send you short surveys to fill up and reward you with Google Play credits in return. You can then spend these credits on the Google Play Store to purchase anything from apps and games to movies and books right away.
