If you were to do a web search for “apps to make you money”, you'd get thousands of results. Many, a majority even, of those results are scams (诈骗). There are some that do reward you for your time, though.
Media Insiders
Media Insiders is a public opinion app that gathers data for its clients using surveys and other methods. Its rules indicate that you must be active at least once a week to earn rewards, which can accumulate (累计) and then be used to exchange prizes.
Checkpoints
CheckPoints is an app that tracks what you do on the Internet, rewarding you for certain things. Are you a movie fan? Watching a movie can earn you points. Want to do some shopping at an Internet store? You can earn points for that as well. Those points can then be exchanged for rewards such as gift cards at your favorite stores.
Pact
Need some financial motivation to make your plan to keep a healthy diet work? Pact is here for you. By pledging (保证) to eat a specific amount of fruits and vegetables or drink a certain amount of water in a day, you can earn money. Be careful, though! It will charge you for failing to fulfill your Pact!
These apps are generally reliable. However, you should be cautious whenever giving your information out through apps or on the Internet. For tax purposes you will have to give your full real name. These apps generally pay you through PayPal or by sending rewards to your address, so it is not recommended that you give out any banking information to the apps.
