We all know someone who makes money while traveling – or we at least follow someone on Instagram who claims to be a “digital nomad” of sorts.
Chances are, that person is a writer, or a coder, or maybe even a successful influencer. Although they’re regularly visiting tropical paradises in Bali and Dubai, they’re spending half of their time there on their laptop…bummer.
You don’t want to bring your laptop on vacation, and you certainly don’t have time to learn coding before heading off on your backpacking adventure, but some extra money to cover your travel expenses would be nice. I mean, let’s be honest, traveling can be expensive, and we’d all love to get paid to travel.
What if you could get paid without spending time in front of a big screen? What if you could get paid for using your phone and doing some shopping in preparation for your trip – something you’re likely already doing?
Well, now you can.
Here are some ways to make extra money for your trip – using only your phone. We have a feeling you’ll want to bookmark this.

2. Get Paid to Test New Apps
Speaking of apps, did you know you can get paid to be a beta tester? Sites like Erlibird allow smartphone savvy people to test out new apps, give feedback, and get paid! For the majority of the tests, all you need is a smartphone and access to the internet. Doesn’t seem like a bad way to kill time at the airport, right?
3.Get Paid to Fill Out Online Surveys
You’re never going to make millions filling out online surveys, but you can make a quick couple of bucks, which is definitely more than you get paid for taking a nap on the train. And every little bit counts! Check out some more legitimate survey sites here and put those idle hours on your phone into your travel fund!
4.Get Paid to Post
If you think you need hundreds of thousands of followers to get paid to post on Instagram, you’re wrong. More and more brands are tapping into the power of micro-influencers – a.k.a relatively “normal” people like you and I who just happen to know how to take some decent photos for Instagram. Try signing up for an influencer platform like Heartbeat or Rep and see if you can snag some #sponsored opportunities for anywhere from to up to 0 per post based on your follower count.
