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?

This is along the same line of thought:

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.
