Hey Reader, If you’ve ever thought, “I bet companies are making money off my data,” -- you’re absolutely right. Most apps on your phone are already tracking your habits. The only difference? You’re not seeing a dime of it. Over the last few years, I’ve tested dozens of apps that flip the script and pay you for things you’re already doing -- like walking, browsing the internet, or shopping. It’s not life-changing money, but it adds up. I’ve personally earned over $2,000 just by running one of them (Honeygain) in the background. 👉 I just updated our full breakdown of the 13 best apps that let you sell your data and earn money -- and grouped them by the type of data you’re comfortable sharing (like internet usage, shopping history, or even step counts). Here’s the full list: 🔗 Make Money Selling Your Data with These 13 Legit Apps If you’re at all curious about passive income or just want to cover a few small expenses without lifting a finger, think may be worth checking out. The key is picking apps that don’t drain your phone -- or your privacy boundaries. I also included real earnings stats, privacy tips, and even which ones pay in cash vs. gift cards.
