Beginning …
I started my journey of earning money online 5-6 years. As a young professional, I was looking for a side hustle to support from regular income.
To be honest, I was not very confident where the apps I am trying will actually pay. I remember the fist app I tried was Vclip, it was a short video app that used to pay users for daily tasks.
So I used to complete the daily tasks while travelling to my office. The minimum withdrawal limit for the app was Rs. 300.
After completing the daily tasks i finally reached the limit but then I found some additional conditions that need to be fulfilled for qualifying for withdrawal.
At first I was disappointed thinking may be all my effort will be wasted. But somehow I completed the tasks to qualify for withdrawal.
Once I placed my request, the wait started it was mentioned that it can take 7 days to process the request. The wait felt long, but one day I received notification that my Paytm wallet is credited with Rs. 270.
Special Feelings
It was a kind of special feeling. While it may not match the excitement of getting your 1st salary, but it is a great feeling nevertheless. Feeling confident about this new way of earning money I started looking for more apps.
Let me tell you this journey is not easy. Because there are so many apps that promise to pay users, you complete all the tasks, meet all the conditions and in the end these apps ghost you.
I experienced numerous such disaapointments, but there were some positives as well. In my journey I found some apps that actually pay users.
The New Challenges
As I was feeling settled then new challenges emerge. Some of the apps That i was so dependent for passive income suddently disappared. It is same like any business or industry, after a certain time there is evolution.
Some introduce new rules, a few completely disappear and some stop working. So you have to be ready for all the challenges. There is nothing constant for sure. As soon as you take things for granted something will happen.
So if you are looking to earn money from apps you have to be ready for all the challenges.
