Step 1: Apps
(If you're worried about these apps stealing your personal information, just put them on an alternate phone. I've been using my earnings to buy cheap $20-30 android phones on ebay (look for a "bad ESN") and let them earn money for me, with my personal info safe and secure.)
Mobile Performance Meter – $5 Amazon Gift Card/Code every 30 days
My personal favorite. Just install the app and forget about it. You'll earn 30 points per day, and you can cash out a $5 gift card (to literally anything) every 500 pts. CONFIRMED
MobileXpression Research – $5 per week
Similar to Mobile Performance Meter. You have to open it once a week to claim 5 points. That's it. They add up quick. CONFIRMED
Screenwise/CrossMediaPanel/Google – 1-2$ per week
Similar to Mobile Performance Meter, but run by Google! They are more selective about participants. CONFIRMED
Panel App – $1 Amazon Gift Card/Code (1500 points/1.5 months) or $5 Visa Gift Card (5000 points)
Similar to Mobile Performance Meter. Just install and ignore it! Earns 33 points per day. CONFIRMED
AppOptix– $10 Amazon Gift Card/Code per 12 weeks (25 points/week)
Similar to Mobile Performance Meter. Just install and ignore it! Earns 25 points per week. Earn $10 after 300 points. Email confirmation necessary. CONFIRMED
Shop Prize – [DEAD]
Slidejoy– About 200 points/day, or $2 every 10 days
I usually don’t recommend Lock Screen apps like Adme, or S’more, (while they ARE technically passive) because they earn very little cash and end up wasting too much of my time. Slidejoy is pretty fast to load and release, and it has to option to pause or stop the lock screen during busy hours. CONFIRMED
Mistplay - Get paid to play games like "Words with Friends" - $5 Amazon Gift Card/Code per month
I gotta admit, "Words with Friends" was fun, but if you just want the cash, download the casino apps and leave then on "auto spin." You'll earn the points soon enough. CONFIRMED
Killi - ???
This app pays you $0.05-0.10 for answering 1 question. They regularly add new ones, and I'm up to about $1.80. Will come back with more info later. My referral code: EA393F UNCONFIRMED
Hyperdrive - 1 minute per day = 1000pts = $5 Amazon Gift Card/Code per month
Earn money just driving your car. This app uses GPS data to track you (I know, be cool). I get the most free points from their daily Bonus Trunk game (only choose 2 suitcases per day). CONFIRMED
Lucktastic - 3 minutes per day = 1000 tokens = $5 Amazon Gift Card in one week?
OK, you won't "win up to $5,000 instantly" from the free scratch tickets, but you can get tokens from maybe 3-5 tickets per day plus the daily login bonuses. Ignore the few pennies you initially win and in about a week you should have 3000-4000 tokens. If you spend them all on the closest "$5 amazon card sweepstakes" you have a good chance of winning. I won on my first try, and got it emailed to me 3 days later. CONFIRMED
Just by walking around, this app earns you "sweatcoins," which are a kind of cryptocurrancy. Not much to spend them on, except cheap discounts within the app, so maybe just hang onto them, in case they get listed on an exchange. They have a daily bonus in the rewards section. UNCONFIRMED
Yet another app that earns you cash for downloading and playing games, BUT, this one comes with a daily check-in bonus, just for us lazy boys! CONFIRMED
This one is fun. This is an app that lets you control a real-live crane machine prize grabber (via webcam), and almost guarantees you to win on your 1st try. BUT, shipping is only free if you cashout with two or more prizes. That's how they getcha. Anyway, this app has a free daily checkin bonus, so you can at least keep trying for free, and maybe get lucky. Use code: 536897 UNCONFIRMED
This app that earns you cash for downloading apps, which are easy enough to do, BUT, this one also comes with a music player that pays out points (varies) as you play music over your lock screen/blank screen. You can just keep it running all day, with volume very low, and cash out at 8000 pts. I've done it 4 times, once at the $25 mark.
Similar to Hyperdrive. Earns a coin called "Mobilio" just for driving around. Maybe it's good? UNCONFIRMED
This app lets you download from a HUGE library of podcasts, even my favorite obscure ones like WHM and Purple Stuff. Anyway, they pay you in "podcoins" just for listening. Get 150 using the link above.

(sorry forgot to include the iOS versions of each one)
Step 2: Websites
Leave a tab open and it will autoplay videos all day. ALSO, you can earn 9 free points daily by opening 1 video, clicking the rewards box, and claim the daily code. You can redeem these points by feeding them to your favorite rewards site. I use Listia, eLoot.gg, iRazoo, PrizeRebel, and many others. I describe how you connect them below:
This site goes by other names, but this one pays the most. Don't bother with the offerwalls/surveys. Just click the Hideout/Smores links to connect your Hideout account to your eLoot account. Now you can redeem/withdraw from the Hideout site to eLoot. You can withdraw in cryptocurrency, or 50k gems for a $0.50 Amazon GC (minimum). From my last cashout, 126 points from Hideout (dailies only; no video views) = 11200 gems in eLoot. CONFIRMED
iRazoo
Sign up and do nothing. Once a week, they'll email you a free bonus code, but it'll only work if you "earned" some pts this week. LOL. Simply dump your weekly Hideout.tv points into Listia, eLoot, or whatever, and click on that daily 9pt bonus code (see above), then dump that tiny amount into iRazoo, here, then add your email code! UPDATE: They also have a daily 15pt code here. CONFIRMED
Sign up and do nothing. Wait to click on "paid emails," earn from Hideout.tv (under Adscend>videos), use the search bar (using this free tool I made), or claiming one of the codes as soon as it's posted here. CONFIRMED
Earnhoney– $5-10 Amazon Gift Card/Code per two weeks
Similar to Hideout. Sign up, don’t do any of the surveys/tasks, and just leave the “watch” tab open all day. Right click the tab and click “mute tab.” Yes, it works with Hideout.tv. CONFIRMED
NadaMobile - [DEAD]
Qmee – varies, about $0.20-0.30 per week
If you happen to do a particular Google/Bing/Amazon/Ebay search, a side bar will pop up with some PTC ads. Click the paying ads ($0.05-0.09 each), wait for the piggy bank icon to glow red, then go back to see if you can get more. Check the weekly Reddit list of search words at least twice a week to maximize profits. CONFIRMED
Points2Shop– $1 USD, mailed Simply sign up under my referral link and you’ll have 100+ free points, which is enough for a free physical dollar bill that will be mailed to you. I know, right? CONFIRMED
Empower– $5 per day
Sign up, Select $5 on the earning slider, and maybe make 1 post. Somehow this earns you cash, and you can cash out after 90 days. They email you every time you earn another $5, which is daily. Likely a scam, but just in case I’m wrong, get in on this. UNCONFIRMED
Swap Caps – [Dead]
Cash4Essays – [Dead]
--------------------------
Alternatives to Cash:
Shutterfly and Snapfish - Get free photo prints, regularly
If you make a quick account at Shutterfly and Snapfish, every 1-2 months they'll email you a promotion for free 10-20 free 4x6 photo prints (with free shipping)! I've done this over a dozen times. I usually just print memes or cool wallpapers and rasterbate them to be poster-sized, for my bare walls. CONFIRMED
Listia – Earn free yard sale goodies
Sign up, link as many socials as you want, and you’ll get 8000+ free bonus credits. Select only “free shipping” items and bid for free goodies. You can get some easy credits using my Hideout.tv method above. CONFIRMED
Free steam games - Free steam keys
I made another tutorial just for obtaining steam keys for free, here: https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Passively-Earn-Free-Steam-Keys/
Step 3: Bitcoins
Earn about $50 per month
Hopefully, you already know what these are and got yourself a free online bitcoin wallet.There are plenty of “passive” ways to get free bitcoins online, like cloud mining, investing, offerwalls, shortlinks, auto surfing, etc. Most are wastes of time.
Bitcoin Faucets
The TRUE Lazy man will favor the "auto faucet," which will accumulate coins by themselves (at most you''l have to solve 1 captcha per day!) (Faucethub acct needed)
Firefaucet - Sign up, claim the daily bonus here, then start the auto faucet here. and just let it run!
Aditif - Sign up, claim the daily bonus here, then start the auto faucet here. and just let it run!
--------------------------------------------------------------
This one is the easiest, and highest paying faucet:
THECRYPTOFAUCET - This one is self explanatory, I've cashed out 3 times already (sometimes it's slow, but it withdraws GENEROUS amounts, right to your wallet!)
--------------------------------------------------------------
These three can be a hassle, (many ads, popups, and 2+ captchas per day), BUT they generate a TON on coin over 24 hrs! (Faucethub acct needed):
--------------------------------------------------------------
You only have to claim them once a week, month or whenever.
Bitcoin Investing – NO! Most are scams – check the List. UPDATE: Currently trying out AIMBTC, will report results soon.
Bitcoin Mining – NO! At this point, not worth the expense or investment in mining equipment.
Bitcoin Cloud-Mining– MAYBE! Most sites die within a year. Here's the one that is still alive, and likely to pay out:
Step 4: Final Words
I couldn’t in good conscience give you a list of daily sites to visit without adding one more important link.
By looking up "3.11" on yahoo.co.jp, 10 cents will be donated to the East Japan Earthquake recovery effort. Please click, if you have the time:
http://search.yahoo.co.jp/search?p=3.11
And as long as your opening those daily lotto pages, maybe open one of the links from the lists below. They are collections of daily “free-click” sites that let you give to charities without donating. I recommend the Alzheimers Disease site. (I do not earn anything by sharing these links).

Thanks for looking!!
Good Luck!
