Too much otome but not enough money? Or have money but feel guilty about spending it on free otome games?



Here are some resources to help you make a couple extra bucks to put towards your otome addiction! Reddit has /beermoney but here at the cafe we need
/otomoney~

If you know of others, feel free to add with website/app links and clear details.
Referral links/codes are okay to share but please post a normal link as well. Here is some information that would be helpful for others to know to help decide if they should try it for themselves:
- Is it United States only or International?
- What payout options are there? (Google Play/iTunes, Paypal, Giftcards, etc)
- Platform? (iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Offline?)
- Is it passive or do you have to complete a task for payment?
- What kind of payout should a casual user expect? What do you average and what kind of effort do you put into it?
- What's the 'catch?' Any privacy concerns?
- Any tips or instructions?



Here are the otomoney sources I can vouch for, from highest to lowest paying:


Focus Groups

Market Research Studies will recruit and pay for the opinions of a client's target audience. They have the potential for high payout (~$10-$50 online studies, ~$100-$400 offline,) but may also be time consuming and require advance scheduling and free time for in-person studies. If you participate in a study, you will also have to wait a period of time before being qualified for another. (This varies, sometimes they only require that you haven't recently participated in a study of the same topic. "Each client company makes their own choice regarding past participation; some stipulate 3 months or 6 months, and others request a year between studies. Studies that are online-only do not count toward your past participation.")

Mobile/App Options

Note I often use the term "brick phone" this refers to an older smartphone I don't care about, which does not have a SIM card and uses wifi only. It is wiped of texts and contacts and I don't care what personal data gets accessed since there isn't much there. Unless I'm using it for playing my Voltage side account, this phone is just sitting around like a brick doing nothing - though now making me a little cash while doing so.
In my case this happens to be my previous android, but you can also go out and buy a device solely for this purpose - I found big box stores (Walmart, etc) selling contract-free (no phone service unless added extra) phones for about $35.

Found otomoney cache from May 4 but I can't access the details itself from the spoilers because it says I have to be logged in. I can't really do that in caches. So I'll do the best next thing and copy the conversation that followed. Maybe it'll help you remember what you added?  :smile:

You forgot about Google Opinion Rewards, Vixey. I usually get a survey every other day. I do forget to check sometimes tho.

Ah that's right! I forgot about that one - just opened my app and I wasn't even signed in, no wonder I hadn't gotten any surveys in a few months XD
I wonder what I did that caused it to sign me out... or maybe I forgot to load it back up after my phone was replaced by warranty. So either they increased their frequency while I was logged out, or you're a better candidate since I was only getting an invite once or twice a month.

Several of the surveys were about games and movies. XD No surprise there with what I do on my phone. Thank goodness I haven't gotten anything political since the first one.

I have one that I really like its shopkick

My referral link http://get.shopkick.com/nitrogen31462

do u go shop a lot? U get kicks for walking in or scanning items at places you shop at ... Walmart, target, Macy's, etc etc

Kicks (their pt systems) if u earn enough u can redeem them for variety prizez... Gift cards, iPad, camera etc etc.... No itunes/ google play directly ... I ususally claim target gift cards and use it to buy itunes card ... and gift cards can be immediately claim once fulfilled...

Ah yeah! I have used shopkicks in the past as well, though it stopped being compatible with my device (forced closing every time I opened no matter what) but I'm probably due for trying again as the app has been updated. I have cashed out a fandango giftcard (2000 ish points, $12 I think?) but haven't used it yet. "I'll save it for a special movie I really want to see" *never uses*
That app has some very concerning permissions (read your contacts/texts/call log) it didn't used to back when I was earning with it, (I envy iOS users who can manually disable specific permissions when running) but until I can open the app successfully I haven't been able to test if it will run with those permissions stripped from the apk.

I haven't tried shopkick installing in several months though, so let's see~

Not sure if this can be here... But for the past few months I been using this deals site where he post sweepstakes/giveaways that I'm not aware of....

U just mention about fandango, there's a current instant movie win credit... I already won $9 u just simply text "movie" to 87654 and in the past the site owner have post sweepstakes and some are pertaining to winning iTunes/Walmart/target  gift cards ( I won like 4 $10 itunes GC in the past via instant text) the site pretty popular its freebieshark.com) ...

What do I do now?

This is along the same line of thought:
http://kokoro-cafe.net/index.php/topic,1241.0.html

I should put aside some time to try things like this, but I still have not looked at any of these options. Lots to read and absorb. I feel almost overwhelmed in my ignorance of what other cheapos do.
