Here are some legit and 100% legal and easy ways to make some cash in the tech world.

Take Some Pictures
If you have a decent camera and an eye for photography, you might be able to sell your snaps to photo sites like Shutterstock. This could also be a good way to test the waters if you’re considering your own photography business.

Embrace Your Craftiness
If you’re handy with a crochet needle or love to make unique jewelry, open a shop on Etsy and start selling your wares right away.

Sell Your Old Gadgets
Your old computers, phones, and other techno-goodies might be worth some cash. You can often sell old phones back to your carrier, and there are plenty of businesses that specialize in buying up old and obsolete devices.

Have a Virtual Yard Sale
Dig out all those old concert T-shirts and Beanie Babies and sell them on the Internet. Sites like eBay and Amazon make it easy to get money for the stuff you don’t want anymore. You can also check out local swap meet sites and community pages on Facebook.

Beware of Scams
For every legitimate money-making opportunity, there’s a scammer trying to take advantage of you. Here are some red flags that may indicate that an “opportunity” is really just a hustle.

  1. You have to pay. You shouldn’t have to pay to work. Period. If anyone asks you to give them money to get in on whatever opportunity they’re offering, chances are they’re up to no good.
  2. You have to give up your financial information. If a person or site offering employment asks you to enter your credit card or bank account information, don’t do it. When it comes to paying you, a legitimate firm will issue a check or pay you securely through a service like PayPal.
  3. It’s too good to be true. If you see an offer that says something along the lines of, “get paid $10k every month for part-time work you can do from home,” don’t take the bait.

Lots of people are making money online, so why not get in on it? Of course, when you’re making financial transactions on the Internet it’s especially important to protect your device from malware and other attacks. Use a comprehensive app like PSafe Total to be sure your Android device has adequate security so you can conduct business from anywhere worry-free.

<![CDATA[Here Are the Best Apps for Mobile Commerce]]> https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/best-apps-mobile-commerce/ Thu, 20 Oct 2016 11:54:07 +0000 https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=4887 It doesn’t always make sense to shop with our mobile browsers on our smartphones. Some websites work poorly on mobile browsers, or else they are tricky to navigate. Luckily, many of the sites you visit most are available in app form, which makes mobile online shopping easier than ever.

Amazon
This app preserves the design of the website, which makes it easy to navigate. Like on the website, you can search for millions of products, use 1-Click ordering, create or access registries and wish lists, and receive all necessary information on current deals. There are many convenient features included as well, such as the ability to search for items or track orders with your voice, scan a competing product’s barcode to compare the price to available Amazon products, and receive app notifications on the status of your order.

Overstock
This app has many of the same features as the website, and allows you to browse and purchase discounted products from the convenience of your smartphone. You can receive notifications on coupons and daily deals to make sure you get the items you want at the price you want. There’s also the option to purchase items with Android Pay — another perk.

eBay
If you’re a fan of eBay, then you need to download this app immediately. This app makes it even easier to buy, sell, shop, and make bids on the go. It also includes a barcode scanner to search for relevant items, compare prices, and make listing items for sale faster. App notifications are also included so you can keep better track of your items.

Etsy
Further discover unique, handcrafted goods on the go with the Etsy app. The app makes it easy to browse for a last-minute gift or an item you didn’t know you needed until now. This app includes recommendations according to your tastes, notifications on items you’ve purchased, and information about Etsy events near you.

Protect Your Device with PSafe
Many of the above-mentioned apps request a lot of permissions from your smartphone that are necessary for full use of the app. As a precaution, remember to read through the permission requests so you know what the app is accessing from you. Unfortunately, many malicious apps are designed to mimic popular apps in order to gain access to your phone through these permissions. Be aware of any suspicious-looking apps, and download PSafe Total for your Android to protect your device against malicious threats 24/7.

Digging In
Mint offers tips on how to invest money, reduce expenses, and improve your credit score.

Mint solves this problem by enabling you to see your up-to-date credit score on its app. Furthermore, the app provides a free credit report summary so you can easily see what factors are raising or lowering your credit.

Naturally, those who use a smartphone to regularly monitor and control personal finances will want to make sure this smartphone remains secure at all times. PSafe Total offers the comprehensive protection you need to ensure that your smartphone is not hacked or infected with malware. The program is available from PSafe at no cost and not only keeps your phone safe, but also helps to boost your device memory, accelerate internet access, and clean up large, hidden files.
