What's good bhw, I'm deployed overseas with the military, stuck using just my phone for the next 15 months, no laptop or PC. I'm tryna figure out some way to make extra moneh with ONLY my phone, I wanna hear from folks who’ve actually pulled it off.

Anyone out there making money just using their phone? What’s worked for you? Apps, sites, or any hustle that’s phone-friendly, hit me with your ideas! Appreciate any tips or stories you got!

Thanks

You can do legit money on a phone: freelance gigs (Fiverr/Upwork micro-jobs), teach languages on iTalki/Preply, sell short video services (TikTok intros, reels edits), do affiliate promo with link-in-bio pages, or sell digital products/templates. Use Payoneer/Wise for payments, keep VPN for secure banking if needed, and always check local rules on payments.
 
You couldn't work for me with a phone, lol you'd be fired faster than the apprentice, if thats all you had! lol a phone is a consumer device. A computer is a creator device.

Yes fair enough a phone isn’t a full computer setup, but plenty of people use phones only to do freelancing, content, micro tasks, etc. It’s slower and with limits, but it can work. Depends on the hustle more than the device.

I don't believe you! You can't multi task on a phone with "open deskspace" to see what your doing. How can someone with a phone outdo anything done with a pc? Its impossible. There is nothing you can do on a phone, except phone people, that is quicker than a pc.

The people that are hiring you are working on their pc's lol and you pull out your commodore 64, work device! lol. Hustling requires speed, and capacity. You don't get these with a phone. If you ain't bashing keys, and moving a mouse, you aint really working!
 
use a remote desktop (rdp,vpc) to login, use a mouse en mini keybord,

Where are you deployed ? Have you had a thought about what is local to you that you could take advantage of and sell on eBay, etc ?
 
Hey glad you asked, there are legit ways people use just their phone to pull in extra cash. It’s rarely “get-rich-quick,” but over time it adds up. I’ll share what I found + some real people’s experiences + what to watch out for, so you can decide what might work given your situation (deployments, limited gear, etc.). Happy to dig deeper in any area you like.

I would sell my laptop to have some money, I wouldn't want to starve

Jokes aside, I would do exactly what I did in the past: start promoting affiliate offers and manipulating public opinion with comments, buy some upvotes (if Reddit) or likes (if YouTube, TikTok, etc). If you don't even have money to pay $0.50 for some likes, time to go flip some burgers and save some money.

See the above quote from another thread. Of course you can make money with just a phone. Just post affiliate offers and use comments on relevant social media popular accounts to drive traffic to your offer. You just buy small amounts of likes on those comments from Smms to boost them to top comment, that way driving traffic to your offer. Ignore those saying it's not possible.

Will look into this, thanks for the idea.
 
I started a small Instagram page around a niche hobby and monetized with affiliate links, worked entirely from my phone
