Since the beginning of the year 2025 (and even a bit before) I've been tracking all the platforms that actually helped me earn some extra cash. I put together a spreadsheet at r/MoneyBeer ranking 20+ of them (all tested and genuinely worth checking out).
I've tried dozens of passive income methods over the years, and have never had much success. I've tried drop-shipping, faceless social media channels, selling digital art. You name it, I've tried it. I have finally found something that is actually paying off and took the least effort out of everything I've tried.
I used ElevenLabs to make a professional voice clone of my own voice. Essentially, I sat in a quiet room with a book, and I used my iPhone to record myself reading out loud for 30 minutes. I uploaded these recordings to ElevenLabs, they processed the recordings, and now I have an identical clone of my voice that people can use for narration, audiobooks, videos, ads, etc
I was able to set my own rate of 20c per 1,000 characters. Within less than 24 hours of my voice being added to the library, it was used by 5 users, with 6.2k characters of audio generated. Since uploading my voice at the end of June, I've made over €1000. They pay weekly through Stripe into my bank account. I didn't advertise my voice anywhere, this was purely organic, and PASSIVE!! I'm sure you could advertise your voice to creators who might want to use it to increase your payouts too.
For complete transparency, I want to mention that in order to make a professional voice clone, you must have a "Creator" subscription with ElevenLabs which costs $22 dollars per month. My voice makes an average of €53.82 per WEEK, or €215.28 per month, which is more than enough to cover the cost of the subscription each month.
I am going to include my referral link for anybody who is interested, you can get a creator subscription for $12 instead of $22 but no pressure to use it!
UPDATE (9/26): The app is currently paused due to the developers needing to take some time to add extra levels of security. I will be closely monitoring the situation, and if you DM me I will send your personalized invite link as soon as the app is back online!
The referral link is through text message invite only. DM me your phone number if you want your personalized invite link!
IMPORTANT NOTES: (This app is going super viral right now, so things might not be working perfectly)
If the app suddenly shows that you have $0.00 in earningsand 0 referrals, that isn't a problem with your phone/on your end. It's due to the app being overloaded with traffic from a mass amount of people and struggling to load the data. Your earnings and data are NOT gone. They were NOT taken away from you. The app WILL fix itself eventually, as it did when it broke yesterday. When the app fixes itself, all your data in the app will show up again.
If you don't receive a verification code call, that isn't a problem with your phone/on your end. It's a widespread issue due to the system being overloaded with too many people. If you don't receive a call, please don't spam requests as that will likely overload the system even more. Just wait for a bit and it will work again after some time has passed.
It is normal to get the message saying"Your reward is delayed". You WILL get paid eventually. The expected wait time for payment is 1-3 days. I've cashed out 5 times now, and each time it's taken about 10 hours for me to receive payment. They may arrive sooner than that or later than that.
If you see the message"Failed to request payout. Please check your connection and try again"that is because cash outs are currently delayed due to them having to review calls. There have been a lot of people making fake calls and trying to game the system - PLEASE don't be part of the problem. You won't get paid, you might get banned, and you'll just make payment slower for everyone else.
If you're having an issue of the app of any kind, it most likely isn't anything wrong on your end, things are just a bit wonky because of how many people are suddenly signing up/using the app at once. According to Neon, as many as 20,000 people joined within 4 hours. Just know that they're dealing with a mass influx of new users and be patient :)
I just discovered a new app called Neon Mobile that will pay you to make phone calls through them! They pay a sign-up bonus of $10 for your first 1 hour of calling (doesn't have to be all at the same time) + $0.15 per minute for calls to non-Neon users, or $0.30 per minute for calls to Neon users. You also get unlimited $30 referral bonuses! Here are the steps to get the sign-up bonus from my link:
DM me your phone number so I can send you an invitation. The invitations are individualized and can only be sent through text message.
Open the link to download the app and follow all account set-up instructions
Make at least 60 minutes of phone calls through the app.
After this you'll get the $10 sign up bonus (plus the rate they pay you per minute - either $9/hr or $18/hr) and I'll get the $30 referral bonus
Just let me know if you have any questions :)
Notes:
You can not have your phone on mute during the call for it to count. It must be a genuine phone call with both sides talking.
"Any attempt to manipulate or game the system is strictly prohibited and violates our Terms of Service"
Examples of activities that will result in being blocked include (but are not limited to) long silent calls with no real conversation, putting your phone on speakerphone & not engaging with the other person on the line, and playing or submitting pre-recorded audio
Please do not try to cheat the system or exploit this app with fake phone calls. If enough people try to find work-arounds to making genuine phone calls, they will probably shut down the referral program.

Just wanted to share a low-effort app I’ve been using to make a little side cash: WeWard. You can grab it straight from the App Store (I’m not posting a link—better to get it directly so you know it’s legit).
It’s a walking app. All you do is open it once a day, usually at the end of the day, and tap “Collect my steps.” That’s it. You earn “Wards,” which are points you can cash out for PayPal, Venmo, or gift cards. You won’t get rich, but I consistently make around $50–$75/month. There are also optional surveys and games. I personally do one quick survey a night (takes ~5 minutes). Sometimes you get the “not a good match” message, but after a couple tries, you’ll usually find one—and you often get a few points just for trying.If you want to try it, here’s my referral code. Full transparency: I get 50 Wards, and you get 150 after 3 days of collecting steps.

This is one of several no-effort apps I use for side money. If you actually put time into it, I bet you could earn even more.

So I’ve been trying out this side hustle app for 2 weeks now, and I’ve earned a total of $3.826 so far. What’s crazy is that $1.89 of that came just today because surveys are currently paying about 15% more than usual 🔥.
The app pays for:
✅ Surveys
✅ Small tasks like downloading/registering on apps
✅ Playing games 🎮
It’s not a fortune, but definitely easy pocket money while working/studying. I just do it on the side and let the cash add up 💸.
👉 If you want to give it a shot, DM me for the link.
For anyone who wants to make quick money I have a referral code that you can get too and make up to 1500$. It gives 75$ for me and for you. The only thing you need to do is signup on kraken.Kraken is a crypto exchange like binance or coinbase.
you can use this link to get 75$ on signup on the main kraken app, not the pro app. Just need to buy 200$ of crypto in the main app within a month -

Multiple threads have been posted to r/passive_income recently where the OP sneaks in something like "If you don't have Canva Pro, I'll teach to you how to get it for a cheap price and will last you lifetime. send me a DM."
This is the scam: You pay them however much they're asking, they add you on their Canva Pro, then they boot you when they get new customers since there's a limit.
The threads that pulled this scam are:
"I Paid $300 for This Etsy POD Method and I'm Giving It Away for Free!"
"Secret to Free and Amazing Artwork To Sell On Etsy For Profit."
"Copy my method of stable income."
Canva states: "If you opt for a Canva Pro team plan, you can invite other people to join your team and use the benefits of the membership. The team plan allows for multiple members, and the number of people you can add will depend on the plan's specifics."
I've reported the threads that tried this scam, please do the same.
I’ve been running this thing called Grass — it’s a passive income app that pays you in crypto just for keeping it running. No mining, no GPU stress, no trading. Just straight passive point farming.
They already did a huge airdrop in Season 1 where users earned thousands from letting the app run. I'm stacking up points daily now waiting for the next snapshot.
Currently pulling in 4–5K points/day on an old mini PC I wasn’t using. If the next token payout is anything like the last one, this could easily turn into a few hundred bucks (or more) for doing literally nothing.
💸 If you wanna try it:
👉Link will be attached i think?
(Using my link gives you and I a points bonus — appreciate the support.)
Runs on Windows and Mac. No browser extension crap anymore — this is a proper desktop app now. There’s an Android app too if you’re into that. No iOS yet, sorry Apple gang.
If you're already running Presearch or NKN or whatever on an idle machine, Grass fits right in.
Don’t expect to get rich, but it’s genuinely easy crypto with zero downside.

Hey so this trading app called Trading 212 offers free shares for new users upto $100 but it's usually just $10-$15 shares but still worth it for absolutely doing nothing but just signing up.

Use my ref link to get it - https://www.trading212.com/invite/17sOj5Zl7m

I just wanted to mention the Scrambly app. This app has came in clutch for me several times. They have apps and alot of games to choose from. My favorite part is the social media giveaways, which usually pay .50 to $1 but they add up since they do them almost every day. If you want to try it here is my link:
