sound must be on <\/strong>in order for points to credit, so plug in a pair of headphones to ignore the noise.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s that simple! I\u2019ll cover Grindabuck and other Engageme.TV eligible websites in another post but it\u2019s a great earner to start with. First-time users must accrue $10 before their first cashout, but future cash out limits are $5 and eventually drop to $1.<\/p>\n
The verification process for Grindabuck also requires you to submit a fair bit of personal info, but in order to fight fraud and provide a better platform Grindabuck states this as being necessary.<\/p>\n
In terms of earnings, you can expect 0.7GABS (Grindabucks) per 3 advertisement views which is equivalent to $0.07. From my experience, engageme.tv runs quite well on most phones and I have only rarely experienced issues with points not being credited. If this ever happens, I simply stop running engageme.tv for a day or 2 and the problem generally disappears.<\/p>\n
Just note, engageme.tv terms of service state you can only have\u00a03 active devices per account\u00a0<\/strong>so be sure to respect the terms of service and device limit!<\/p>\nScore:\u00a0<\/strong>4\/5<\/p>\nEarning Potential:\u00a0<\/strong>$0.1-$1.20\/day (very volatile)<\/p>\nPassive Earning Ability:\u00a0<\/strong>3 hours<\/p>\nDesktop Capable:\u00a0<\/strong>Yes<\/p>\nIs Phone Farming Worth it in 2019?<\/strong><\/h2>\nThis question is a frequent one on forums like reddit. Ultimately, small scale phone farms are an excellent and low-effort way to generate side income that you can use redeem for gift cards or Paypal.<\/p>\n
If you already have access to several old phones or can acquire a few devices for under $20, starting a small phone farm is a good idea.<\/p>\n
Aim to have between 5-10 devices running so you understand the fundamentals and have time to decide if you want to phone farm.<\/p>\n
If you are considering buying many devices to start a larger phone farm, consider technical difficulties you may encounter, router capacity, and even space issues.<\/p>\n
The more phones you have, the more troubleshooting and optimization will be required, which could defeat the purpose of generating passive income with phone farming. Take time to make your decision and know how much time you have to spare.<\/p>\n
Edit: 10\/26\/2018:\u00a0<\/strong>Recently, some phone farming applications have become less passive and the industry trend seems to be that more interaction is required by apps.<\/p>\nI imagine this change reflects the fact that advertisers are noticing issues with traffic quality and apps are trying to increase user engagement. Whatever the case, apps are definitely becoming less passive.<\/p>\n
Currently, my earnings are on the decline. I run 9 phones on the best possible apps and also have passive income apps installed on them as well (more on this below). However, I have not had a $50 month in a few months, and it is unrealistic that I can expand my farm with many ore devices.<\/p>\n
I can still earn $20-$40\/month in passive income, but I recommend other phone farmers start out slow and prioritize using old phones they have laying around instead of purchasing new devices.<\/p>\n
In other words, start out small, test the process, and see how much passive income you can generate before jumping in.<\/p>\n
Edit: 11\/12\/2019:\u00a0<\/strong>I no longer run a phone farm since many of the apps I used to use are no longer paying or have drastically reduced payouts.<\/p>\nSetting up a Phone Farm – A Recap<\/strong><\/h2>\nWhile this has been a lengthy post, I hope it has served as a general guideline for beginning your journey towards passive income generation with phone farming. Ultimately, phone farming is truly an operation that is heavily based on optimization.<\/p>\n
Not every application or device will work perfectly, and time of year, your geographic location, and other factors can contribute to or hinder your profits.<\/p>\n
If you're looking to get into phone farming however, here is a quick summary of how to go about it:<\/p>\n
\n- Collect unused phones from friends and family, or purchase 1-3 phones from Walmart or c7recycle.com.<\/li>\n
- Download passive data collection apps such as Panel App or Embee Meter CX.<\/li>\n
- Download passive video watching applications. Begin with Perk if you're looking for stability, and begin testing out other apps on the side or with new devices.<\/li>\n
- Track your earnings.\u00a0<\/strong>For the first few weeks it is a good idea to track your earnings per device to both quantify your progress and discover apps that are not pulling their weight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Edit:\u00a0As of 11\/12\/2019 I no longer recommend purchasing smartphones or investing your money into starting a farm.
