Passive Income Methods for 2026 Earn $+1 a Day

Today I wanted to share a handful of apps/programs that you can use on your computer and/or phone to earn passive income in the background. Combined together you can earn a few dollars a day depending on if you have multiple devices to use. All these apps use your internet and pays you for it. It doesn't cause latency issues. You won't be able to tell there even running but you will need to leave the devices on 24/7 to maximize your earnings. Some of these I personally have used for multiple years and a few just a few months. I can confirm they all cash out and are not scams. You will not get rich using these apps but it should pay your internet bill and some from using these apps. You will earn both Paypal and crypto. There is no mining involved so no expensive electricity bills from using the resources on your computer. Only a small amount of resources and a small amount of your internet.
The first site/app I want to share is an oldie but a goodie. I have been using Honeygain.com for a few years now. Earned several hundred dollars in crypto in the process. The sign up is pretty straight forward. You'll want to download the app. Sign into the app. If your using a Desktop (which i recommend for this) you will want to find "Content Delivery" on the app and turn it on. You get paid more when this is in use. One thing to note that Honeygain only works on unique IPs. So you cant run multiple devices using the same network. If you don't have unlimited data i do not recommend running it off your data as it might not be worth it. Unless its the end of your billing period and you want to earn some money off your left over data. Then it might be a good idea if your data doesn't roll over to the next month. Using a phone with data and your home internet at the same time can net you $.5-1 a day using this site/app. There is 2 ways to cash out. You can use Paypal to cash out straight from Honeygain. Minimum cash out is $20 for paypal. This can take up to a couple months to achieve. Thats why i recommend the crypto cash out option. You can cash out when ever as long as you can pay a few cent fee. You also get 10% more of what you earn if you use Jumptask.io. The Jumptask.io crypto cash out option is what i use personally. You get $JMPT token, this is on the BSC chain. So you need a tiny amount of BNB to swap it or send it. You will also need an ethereum wallet for this. If you don't know much about crypto and don't want to learn you can skip this and earn Paypal. But i do recommend getting educated about cryptocurrencies as they are the future of finance. Anyways, how you get paid in $JMPT is you turn it on after you have signed up to Jumptask. You will find a small button on the top of the page where it will say Honeygain and jumptask. Flip the button to Jumptask, dont forget to link your account in the profile settings. Once your all set up just set and forget. Let it build up and cash out when you want or can. Average about $10 a month for 1 unique IP.
Next site/app i wanted to share is Earnapp.com. Im still fairly new to this one. Only been running it a couple months but I'm very happy with the results. On a US IP it earns a flat rate of $10 a month per device other countries its $5. With earnapp you can use multiple devices on the same IP. The only thing with them is that its more beneficial if you have different operating systems to use. Such as IOS, android, pc, ubuntu, macOS. Running 5 different operating systems can get you $50 a month. Most people aren't going to have all that. I run 2 pc's and 1 android and earn about $25+ a month combined. The reason i don't get the full $30 is because im using 2 pcs and one isn't always being counted/used. To cashout you will use either the 2 $10 minimum options of a bank transfer or Paypal. You can cash out to Amazon gift cards but the minimum is $50. A really nice feature is the auto cashout through paypal. Once it meets the minimum it sends you money to your paypal around 24 hours after cashout has been done. If you use android or iphone you will have to install the app through the website rather than finding on the app stores. Android does flags it as unsafe as it uses your internet. I've used it a few months and have not had any security issues, hacks, nothing. Maybe one blip on the network when i first started using it but nothing since then. Earnapp is safe and a great way to earn some passive income completely hassle free with auto cash out.
Now the last one I want to share. Grass.io is purely crypto. Grass uses unique IPs like Honeygain. It uses your internet to help AI search the internet more efficiently. It creates these data sets, a catalog of sorts of topics on the internet. Its a pretty cool project and is still fairly new. With this one you have to be patient on the cash out. So far they only do it once a year. Last time I got paid out i earned around 400$ in $GRASS tokens. This was for 14 months of using the app. But i was in he closed alpha when this launched. Giving the value of the token vs around how much you earn. Its around $10-15 a month once you get paid out. If your from the US you will want to use a VPN when cashing out. Otherwise people from the USA cannot claim. Im sure this will change in the future with regulations. The $GRASS token is what you are paid. Its on Solona, so you will need a Solona wallet to claim your tokens and a small amount of SOL to do the transaction. This one like the others is a set and forget method. Once its set up all you have to do is cash out once rewards are ready. Follow on discord to find out when payouts happen.
I have tried other app/programs and i do not recommend any others. Some only earn a few cents a day if that. Sites like repocket, pawnsapp, traffmontizer. They do earn but you might just make $5-10 a year running those. Its just not worth the time.
If you sign up underneath one of the links used in this article i do appreciate it. This helps me out and makes me want to share more content like this, and do more research to find good stuff to make money on. If you are one of my referrals and need a small amount of BNB or SOL to make your first transaction to get your reward earnings leave some proof and the wallet address in the comments. You can provide proof by presenting your email such as this example [email protected] but put this e********[email protected] to provide yourself some privacy. I can verify this way.

Interesting options. Does any of those work mobile too? On a Smartphone?
Yes they all work on smart phones. Mainly android
I had tried Earnapp and Grass, but have come to the conclusion they're both not worth it (I don't want to throw around the word "scam" although in some instances I was feeling scammed to a certain extent). Earnapp paid handsomely in the first few days, but then just stopped and maybe paid like $0.01 per day, so it's almost impossible to passively get over the threshold. Grass would just randomly disconnect all the time, and the earnings are very unpredictable, since the conversation rate to tokens is entirely unknown.
Besides that, I don't think that selling leftover bandwidth to unvetted sources (or selling it to begin with) is always a good idea:
Overall: not worth the hassle from my point of view, so I stopped using them entirely.
This is your pov. I've been running Grass for over 2 years, you need to make sure it stays updated as well as the machine is on. Same thing goes with earnapp, you drop off sometimes but usually just needs a restart to start functioning again.
I've been running both honeygain and grass for over 2 years. Never has a carrier dropped me or ever had any kind of notice so chances are pretty close to zero for any trouble. Ive never been blocked by any site as well.
That's fine, you're right, it's my perspective. May I ask how much you earned with Grass over those 2 years in $?
So far on grass i earned around 1200$ for 14 months, 600 tokens and sold at $2. I haven't been paid over this last year but that is coming soon, by the end of the year or early next year. The token has been down since the TGE event and the highs over $3. Even with token price being around .3$ you still should earn 20-50 tokens a month. With AI being a big narrative right now you should see some price appreciation when the next airdrop reward claim happens.
Yes. These 2 sites are the best so far. Earnapp and honeygain, both of it earn me hundred extra dollar . But recently my area is congested maybe I don't earn much. It's like 2 to 3 month for earn app to reach minimum. And honeygain took about half a year. Not sure why.
