I knew that by 2026, anyone still waiting for their monthly paycheck would probably be bored because now there are plenty of money-making apps, and many people have started trying side hustles to generate extra income.

Feeling overwhelmed with so many options, so go see which one suits you. If you like creating, there are TikTok, YouTube, or Blockdit to try. If you're good at writing reviews, TrueID allows you to earn money directly into your bank account from your articles. For those interested in trading or investing, Mitrade and IC Markets are ready for you to try. But don’t forget, investing carries risks.

There are also sales platforms like Lazada, Shopee, or if you want to monetize your skills, Fastwork and Daywork offer jobs to find—both online and in-person.

What you need to do is choose an app that fits you, check if the revenue share is fair, and most importantly, look at reviews from people who have already earned real money. Some apps may seem good but pay slowly or are complicated.

In fact, this can also be a passive income channel if you’ve already created work. Even if you don’t constantly manage the content, the platform can still share revenue. But it requires initial effort for a while. If you're interested, give it a try.
