Your Phone that Pays: 6 Sites That You Can Make Money Sending Text Messages

Currently, we use our phones more than we really want to admit. To be honest, majority of us rather text than pick up the phone and call.

But what happens if we can get paid to text? Would that be a game changer for you? Would you be interested in earning money for things that you already essentially do?

You are in for a sweet, sweet treat today. There are indeed ways you can earn money texting. Before we begin, we do want to point out, that you will certainly still want/need to keep your day job, but a little fun money couldn’t’ hurt.

Can I Really Get Paid for SMS?

At one time or another, we’ve all said, “Omg I need a job.” It’s common. We’ve probably even all wished to have a side little gig that would pay enough to put gas in our car and pamper us a bit.

Well, you’ve may have found your calling because texting can really make you some money. It won’t be enough to quit your day job like I’ve previously stated, but it could possibly fill up your car here and there.

How hard could it be? We already use our phone for just about everything else under the sun. Why not make some money?

Where Can I Locate These Texting Jobs?

Of course, now you are like, “Where can I get one of these texting jobs?” Well, back in the day, the best texting job use to be ChaCha Vetter.

ChaCha is no longer in business, so this job is not available. However, it was the best job out there in its early days.

There was a lot of people that use to make this their full-time income job as it paid well, and it was flexible enough they can work when they felt like it.

However, most of these jobs, we will be discussing won’t pay nearly as well. Nonetheless, they are good to keep around because you can always benefit from having extra money.

But locating them can be a difficult task. Luckily for you, we’ve compiled some great positions you can apply to immediately.

Blabber

So, in exchange for its users seeing the ads from which it gets paid, it lets you make some money for your time.

Basically, it works similarly to reward sites that partner with companies for advertising purposes but gives you a fun new way to make some money by viewing ads.

Blabber is a little bit different than most. Blabber is an app. This will replace your phone’s default messaging app.

It is free to make an account. We recommend your friends make one too, so you can all earn money together.

Payments

For every 15,000 messages you send, you will receive $15. It never felt so good knowing those annoying group chats you never want to respond to will end up making you some serious cash.

In the app, you’ll notice some ads, this is how Blabber earns money to pay you out. If you don’t mind seeing ads, you’ll love this little passive income stream.

A typical person tends to send around 4,000 a month, so if you average this, you will be looking to make about $15 every four months.

Once you earn your $15, Blabber will send it to the PayPal email address you have on file in your account

1Q

1Q is a little bit different than Blabber. 1Q is more of a survey type of app for your phone. You will be answering questions about market research.

You will have to fill out your profile and answer all the various questions, before you are sent any ‘paid’ questions.

Payments

Typically, you can earn up to $0.50 per question. However, 1Q states if you agree to make $0.25 a question, you’ll get a ton more questions.

From personal experience, that’s not the case. I’ve been signed up for years and I’ve only ever got 1 single question and made a whopping $0.25.

1Q does pay through PayPal though, so you’ll want to make sure you have your account linked.

AQA 63336

AQA 63336 is a UK-based company. This company is very similar to what ChaCha once was.

AQA 63336 will pay you to answer questions through text messages. In order to join, you will need to be 16 years of age.

Members will ask all sorts of questions, and it will be your job as the responder, to answer their questions.

You can apply to work for them by sending them your cover letter along with your resume to the email address listed on their website.

If they believe you would be a great fit, you will hear back from a representative from the company.

However, it is still unclear, if you must reside in the UK to be hired, but it’s always worth a shot to apply anyway.

However, you will need to know the British English along with the British slang, to fully understand what they are talking about.

Chat Recruit

Chat Recruit is a UK-based company that offers a paid text messaging service. Now before we get into everything, I do want to say this; this opportunity will not be for everyone. Keep that in mind. If you feel as if this is a great opportunity for you, then proceed ahead.

Here at Chat Recruit, you will be sending messages to men who are looking to talk to women. Sorry, fellas, you’ll have to sit this one out.

When talking to these men, you are encouraged to use your imagination. However, we do want to say that these chats do end up quite racy though.

However, Chat Recruit, doesn’t just stop at texting. If you are looking to make more money, you can also dive into their phone chats, email messaging chats, and their live camera chats.

Payments

Chat Recruit will pay you for your time and services by direct depositing money into your bank account. You will have the option to either choose getting paid once or twice a month.

Drizzle SMS

Drizzle SMS is essentially the same as Blabber, but the only downside it’s not as well-known as Blabber is.

The other downfall is that the Drizzle SMS app typically slow downs many people’s phones with all the ads. One way to avoid the slowdown is to quick reply instead of opening up the app.

However, the plus side is that Drizzle SMS is legit, and it does pay their users.

Payments

Just like Blabber, Drizzle SMS makes all their money that they can pay you through advertisements too.

As a bonus, you will be permitted to choose what type of rewards you would like to receive such as PayPal, Amazon gift cards, and much more.

KGB

KGB is another company that operated like ChaCha. You will be able to KGB on your phone and text others.

In order to be hired by KGB, you must be 18 years old, you will need to live within the United States, and eligible to work within the States.

Payments

KGB will pay you $0.10 for every response that you give. You can even earn another $0.05 for other answers you may find that also answers the question.

You will be permitted to work a flexible schedule. However, you will be required to be active every 30 days, or you may be removed from the system.
