DouHiring/iMoney: Earn $10 in a Week

DouHiring also known as iMoney is an app that pays you to download other apps. It's the app with the lowest amount of ratings that I use personally, but I recommend jumping on this app before it gets to busy. 

After you make an account everyday when you open the app for the first time you'll be prompted wth a sign in bonus! The daily bonus is $0.10 but when you reach the higher days you'll get raises from $0.25 to $1.00.  This is my counter, even if I don't remember to use the app I always try to log in and get my sign in bonus.

How Does the App Work?

Douhiring is a simple app, but there's one thing you HAVE to remember I order for it to be successful for you. Everyday they add new apps to be tested at 4pm Eastern time. Remember 4pm Eastern. There are only so many apps that get loaded and each one only needs so many testers, so it's pretty time sensitive and you'll want to log on as close to 4pm as you can. When you open your app at 4:00 it will roughly look like the image above, though with different apps for downloading.
You will find all the apps in the official App Store.

When you pick the App you want to download first you'll be taken to a page that looks like the screen shot above. Here's how this works:
You click the copy and download link and the App Store should open automatically on your phone. Go to the search tab in the store and copy the text into the search. The copied text in this case was "New York subway"  if you see underneath it says download at Rank #51, that means if I were to count down each app the one with the thumbnail i'm looking for would (should) be the 51st App listed.
Now, this isn't always 100% and sometimes you'll get apps ranked in the 200's. I do like to count, just to keep track of my scrolling and so I don't accidentally pass it. The apps will move rank on occasion, the downloads can trigger them to be moved up in rank so you'll save yourself some time and frustration by taking it a little slow and just being sure you don't pass the app.
The second thing you might notice, the search phrase and the thumbnail don't seem related and they're not. Sometimes you may be able to get away with adding or changing the phrase based on the thumbnail but 99% of cases I recommend sticking with the phrase given, the app will definitely come up even though it might be a scroll away.

Now you've downloaded the App! I always pop back in the DouHiring App and use the Open App button, just to be sure it will work and it guarantee's that you've loaded the correct app. If the App opens you're on the right track, if an error pops up it means you've downloaded the wrong app. I have had this happen on a few occasions and it was because the thumbnails of two different apps were so similar I could hardly tell the difference between the two.
Once you've got the App open you don't have to do anything else. Just leave the app open for 3 minutes (don't let it go dark). At this time the app you're testing may ask for your permissions, I never allow it access to anything. It doesn't get attached to any accounts, no permission for my camera or photos, nothing. DouHiring is still going to give you a pay out for the app, so don't worry.

Once you've left the App open for the minimum of three minutes go back into your DouHiring App and click the green receive rewards button. You'll receive whatever the promised payout it from the app or a message will come up telling you how much longer you need to have the app open before you can receive the pay out. And don't worry, if you close the app you can reopen it and start right at the time you left off. It's 3 minutes total. There is a maximum time limit as well, usually it's between 30 and 60 minutes to do the whole process, plenty of time!

I do recommend trying to be tight on those three minutes, the quicker you are the more apps you'll be able to load.

How Can You Cash Out?

Alright congratulations! You've worked for a couple days and you're ready to cash out. It's super easy. Go to your account page and find your account sum and click withdraw.

DouHiring offers a Paypal option and an amazon option and there is no converting points to dollars the dollar amount in your account is what you have access too.

When I first signed up for the app I was a bit skeptical, so I ran a handful of apps. They were even offering a bonus at the time complete your first 10 tasks and get a $3 bonus, so I didn't even have to work that hard for my first pay out. I really just didn't believe this app was going to pay me and I wasn't going to waste a ton of my time. It was all real though! I received the deposit in my Paypal account I believe 2-3 days later and I've since spent the money without a problem. I've been using the app frequently since then. While I do remember to get my sign in bonus everyday I do not remember to check it at 4pm everyday, I don't remember half the time so with a good reminder and 30 minutes a day you could easily double the funds I've collected.

Is there a Referral Program?

Yes there is! It's a pretty limited referral program which I prefer. It keeps the focus on the work of the app rather than just adding as many people as you can. I've been using the app for over two months and I have yet to see them offer any additional incentive for referring people.

You can earn up to $10 for referring your friends, and you earn a portion of it as they earn. See above, on my account it says I've referred 3 friends but when I break it down further the $8 I've earn have all come from 1 account.
So if you complete your first handful of tasks and have 1 friend complete a handful as well you can reach your first $15 in less than a week. A great starting pace especially if you're in a pinch and you need a couple bucks as soon as you can get them.

What Do I think?

This is currently my favorite #1 money making app. This app is kind of the epitome of why I started this blog. It's not about making hundreds of dollars in a couple days, I've never make a claim you can get rich or even come close with any app, but you can absolutely find an extra $20 a month here and there with a bit of effort. I spend at most 45 minutes on this app and like mentioned I only remember to use it about 45% of the time, so I know someone out there with more dedication than I will see even more results than I have.

I have only had two instances where the app was down temporarily and they either walk you through the fix or it worked again in a day or so. The little glitches do have me giving it a 4.5/5 star rating, they are minor usually but still inconvenient none the less. 

If you're looking for that extra $10-20 a month I highy recommend giving this a go. You can easily make $10 your first week with the starting bonus so for that reason alone I would check this out. I mean $10 for your Paypal or Amazon account, why not?

Podcasts for your Pockets

If you consider yourself an avid listener to podcasts or it's something you dabble in on occasion ditch your usual streaming app for Podcoin. Podcoin is an app. that hosts thousands of podcasts including your favorites i'm sure, but what makes it so special? You can earn points towards gifts cards just by listening. Podcoin boasts a 4.7 rating with nearly 5,000 reviews, they also offer over a dozen categories, so if by chance your favorite podcast isn't listed you're guaranteed to find something you can enjoy!

 How do you earn points?

For every 10 minutes you listen through the app. you earn 1 point. If you listen for 3+ days in a row you double your earning as a bonus. On occasion they even offer additional podcasts for an even larger bonus.You just have to keep an eye out.

Do these points really add up?

Now that is the real question! Like with most apps, this is no get rich quick method, it's going to take some time before you're ready to cash in for that gift card, but if you enjoy listening to podcasts on other mediums there's no real sacrifice for switching and the points do add up. From what i've learned so far they also don't expire so whether you listen daily or weekly your points will be there banking for you when you're ready to cash out.

What giftcards can I earn?

The great thing about the Podcoin app is that there is a variety of gift cards available and in different currencies. You can cash out quick with a $2.00 amazon card or save up if you're from Canada or the United Kingdom. There are more cards than just these ones that are available too, so more options to choose from! And the best part about this reward system is there's not benefit for saving long time, the higher cards are worth the same value as the lower ones.

How is my savings?

I started using this app on May 10th and to date (June 23, 2019) I have 1,847 points accumulated which is just shy of $5.00. 

I do try to use this app as much as I'm able, and I do try to get some value out of it. I had never listened to a podcast before downloading so I'm still scowering the internet for ones that I enjoy. More recently i've tasked myslf with finding useful podcasts. I've been listening to The Savings Angel to learn more about couponing and I've been getting tips for writing grants and hosting non-profit events.

The app says I've listened for a total of 146 and 34 minutes. 

This is one of the apps I try to use daily just to keep that double point streak going, but i have messed up on several days. This app is also super easy to keep running on the background of your phone, i haven't had any issues with it eating up my battery so as long as I'm not bothering anyone I try to keep something playing all the time. 

My goal is to cash out when I reach 20,000 points so I can snag a $50 amazon gift card. 

Is this app worth the time?

This app requires almost no fussing with and it can easily run with other apps. If you have an extra ipod/iphone or ipad laying around you really wouldn't need to do any work at all to have these points add up. Plus there's no messing around with referrals and the bonus point system is one of the easiest ones i've ever seen. This app is a no brainer for earning a couple bucks without really trying. 

I give it a 5/5 stars.

Just push play and get those points!
