Make money from texting

One More Cup of Coffee. People try all sorts of things to make money from home. Seeing as how texting has become the preferred way to communicate for just about everyone, it only makes sense that we would try to make money from it. But can you really make money texting people? I noticed a lot of searches around this topic lately, so I decided to dig in and see if it was possible. It turns out, there are a few places that promise to pay you for sending text messages.

Unfortunately, most of the ones you might find are no longer around. I researched this topic for quite a few days and found almost nothing that was current. All my Google searches displayed results from blogs and forum posts dated as far back as I followed those posts as far down the rabbit hole as possible, but just about every one of them led to websites that were no longer working. Now before you go and sign up, let me explain what these websites are all about and how they work.

You might be surprised. It actually took me quite a while to dig up this website. When I did, I realized why it was so hard to find. They also have another side to their business, but it has nothing to do with texting. The main service they offer is texting…mostly adult oriented stuff as I said. In their own words, Text offers:. As you can see, they offer other types of services, but mostly adult-oriented text messaging.

There's nothing wrong with that of course, if that's what you want to do. But I don't see myself sending text messages on any of those topics.

Of course, I'm probably not part of their ideal demographic. They pay monthly, via paper checks as long as you hit the required two-thousand message minimum.

So that is exactly what I did for Text Unfortunately, there is a lot of negative comments and reviews. Of course, there were a couple positive posts about the company here and there. But out of the hundred or so posts and comments I saw, only a handful — three to five — that had anything positive to say about Text Ultimately, it will be up to you to determine whether this is an opportunity you want to try out for yourself.

Before you make up your mind though, there is one other company I found that promises to pay you for texting people. Unlike Text, ChaCha workers send text messages based on questions and searches from ChaCha app users.

So things like trivia, research and random questions will come from app users and be forwarded to ChaCha guides. As a ChaCha guide it will be your job to research the correct answers and reply to the user within a given time. ChaCha says they have relationships with several Governments, businesses and other organizations who rely on ChaCha guides for their answers. I guess this makes sense when you think about it — someone surfing the web could just as easily find their answers with a quick and free Google search.

This is actually a pretty interesting business model.

You can be paid via paper check, paypal or direct deposit. Although ChaCha is very different from Text in the type of messages they send, the reviews for the company are very similar. If you are thinking ChaCha sounds like a good opportunity, you might want to see what others have to say first. Again, whether or not you choose to try this out for yourself, going with ChaCha or Text, is going to be entirely up to you. If you simply want to get paid for texting then either of the two can offer you that.

If you are really into apps, devices and mobile in general, there are plenty of ways you can make money online based around that interest.

A quick look on YouTube and you will see millions of them. Affiliate marketing is how I make money online. In a nutshell I make websites about specific topics, and write articles based on the research I do online. I learned everything I know about it from Wealthy Affiliate.

This is very similar to inboxdollar where you get paid to read emails. Wealthy Affiliate is great. They teach you how to build and manage an on line income. July 12, at 8: I appreciate the research you put into this post! I also research WAH jobs for my readers. I see that these type of jobs are popular because there is really no skill required, but as stated in the reviews from previous users, is not a method to pay bills or be at all dependable with regard to support not enough earnings.

This should definitely be considered a micro-job and not anything other than that. A micro-job allows you to earn by completing small tasks, of course the pay is small as well.

There are tons of micro task websites out there.

July 5, at 8: It seems to be easy at first to write some messages but at the same time it is not well paid and obviously quite time consuming.
