I have a
lot of readers who don't actually own computers and use their smartphones or
tablets for all of their web browsing. Many of these readers have asked me to
come up with a list of work at home jobs for smartphone users where a computer
is not required to do the work.
I'll be
honest, I wasn't sure I would find very much. As you might know if you have a
smartphone/tablet, there actually are a lot of ways to earn with them. Swagbucks is a great example of a lucrative
smartphone app.
However,
this is just extra money. My goal for this post was to find things that
have potential to pay more than just a few bucks a week.
After
doing a lot of research and digging, I have come up with a list. These
opportunities may still not replace your day job, but hopefully they'll pay
much better than surveys, cash back grocery apps, etc.
Good luck!
Work at
Home Smartphone Jobs
1. Take grocery delivery requests with your smartphone
You can
sign up as a driver for Shipt to accept requests from people who need
grocery orders delivered to them. Very flexible and a smartphone is what you
use to see if work is available.
Shipt pays
weekly, too!
2. Teach
ESL With Palfish
You might
remember that we mentioned Palfish in our post about ESL teaching for beginners.
Basically,
you download the app and get paid to have conversations with non-English
speakers. You do not need any previous experience and you are able to work
anytime you want. You are free to set your own hourly rate.
Payments
are made twice a month with Paypal. The app is available for both Apple and
Android.
Note that
some of our Facebook followers have said that app is glitchy — you must upload
a photo to apply and there is some broken there that Palfish has not fixed yet.

learn more about Palfish.
3. Nice
Talk
The Nice
Talk app is very similar to Palfish (above). You are doing basically the same
thing — having conversations with non-English speakers and getting paid for it.
You are
paid per minute of talk time, and on the site it claims $10 hourly is what
you'd earn if you were active for a full hour. Weekly Paypal payments are made
as long a you have $20 in your account. This is available for both Apple and
Android.
Go here to
get signed up on Nice Talk or read our Nice Talk review.
4. Appen
Appen has
been around for a long time, hiring search engine evaluators and social media
evaluators to work from home.
You will
need a computer to apply at Appen, but once you are accepted, you should be
able to work from your mobile device if hired for one of the social media
evaluation positions.
Go here to
learn more about Appen's social media evaluation job or read our Appen review.
5.
iSoftStone
This
company has occasional openings for data collection crowdworkers. The job
description states that “you will be asked to provide us short voice recordings
and text data via a mobile application.”
It's an
independent contractor position, and you'll need an Android 4.0 or above to
complete the work. Just as it is with Appen, you may need to use a computer to
actually apply for this job, but once you're signed up, you should be able to
complete all the tasks from your smartphone.

our iSoftStone review.
Another
Idea For Working From a Mobile Device
Did you
know that there are many people who have started their own businesses working
at home, proofreading court reporting documents? And they do this with no
college degree, no past experience, working entirely from a tablet.
Caitlin
Pyle, someone I recently interviewed, made $43,000 in one
year doing this.
She has
also created an e-course that
trains you how to do what she does.
