It can be hard to find the motivation to get active. As crazy as it sounds, you can make money by working out. That’s some good motivation right there. Believe it or not, some apps and programs will pay you for reaching your goals.
Given that many people are trying to stay fit during this time, this is a great opportunity. The only thing between you and some easy money is yourself. Or rather, you didn’t know of these opportunities, and if so, try them all!
1. System2
System2 is a website that’ll pay you to work out. They give you the choice to squat, plank, or run. System2’s advanced ai or another fitness tracker will provide real-time feedback and ensure the challenges are being completed properly. You’ll receive a form score and the ability to track your performance. For each challenge, you’ll have the choice of three difficulty levels. First, “beginner”, which will pay out 1k points. Next, “intermediate”, which will allow 1,400 points. Finally, “advanced”, which grants 1,800 points. The catch, you cannot miss a day of the 14-day trial.
Here’s the breakdown. Every point has a value of 1 cent. Therefore, the beginner challenge will earn you $10. However, you must purchase a membership to participate and earn money. The membership costs $29.99 per month and allows you to break even with intermediate difficulty and make money with the advanced challenges. Essentially, you’re betting on yourself. For some this is enough to push to see the challenge through to the end. They plan on expanding with different exercises and challenges.
Check out System2 for yourself.
2. Sweatcoin
How does it sound to be paid for walking? Sweatcoin records your steps (outdoor) and converts them to sweatcoins. This virtual currency can then be used for a variety of gifts and prizes. Most importantly, sweatcoins are versatile. Upon downloading the app, you’ll start as a “mover”. As a mover, you’re able to earn 5 sweatcoins per day. Using your sweatcoins, you can upgrade to different levels which allow you to earn more daily; however, these accounts have a monthly subscription that is paid in sweatcoins.
Sweatcoin has everything you’d want in a fitness app. You can invite, follow, send sweatcoins to friends. With Sweatcoin, you could build a community that encourages everyone to get active as well as earn some awesome rewards. As for cash, the only options as of now would involve inviting several friends then cashing out via Paypal.
