hey everyone ever thought about making
0:02
money you know without really doing
0:04
anything like while you sleep exactly
0:07
today we're looking into those passive
0:09
income apps that let you earn just by
0:11
sharing your extra internet bandwidth
0:13
this is pretty good to me we've got two
0:15
specifically we're going to dive into
0:17
earn app and honeygain we'll see how
0:20
they work what you can really earn and
0:22
anything you should be careful about
0:24
yeah got to make sure you're making an
0:25
informed Choice definitely okay so first
0:28
things first how did these things even
0:30
work it's like magic right making money
0:32
from thin air well not exactly magic
0:34
it's more about using what you already
0:37
have you see most of us don't use our
0:40
full internet bandwith all the time
0:42
right these apps use that leftover
0:44
bandwidth kind of like renting it out to
0:46
companies who need it hm so it's like
0:48
renting at a spare room exactly you're
0:50
making money from something you're not
0:51
fully using and uh just like being a
0:54
landlord it's passive income you set it
0:56
up and just let it run in the background
0:57
I like the sound of that okay let's
1:00
start with ear apppp one thing that
1:02
stands out is that it works on like a
1:04
ton of devices right Windows Android
1:07
even resb Pi yeah pretty much anything
1:09
you can think of earn apppp is available
1:11
on a wide range of devices meaning you
1:13
could potentially earn from your phone
1:15
laptop even that old raspberry pie you
1:17
have lying around so many earning
1:19
opportunities and speaking of earning
1:21
how much are we talking here nnab says
1:23
it's like 26 cents per gigabyte shared
1:26
is that good it does sound tempting but
1:29
remember expectations should be
1:31
realistic The Source we looked at their
1:33
earnings varied from week to week ah so
1:36
it's not like a steady paycheck right it
1:38
fluctuated and it wasn't like they were
1:39
making tons of money that makes sense
1:42
it's still extra cash though I noticed
1:44
they made more from their laptop than
1:45
their phone I guess that's because they
1:47
use their laptop more yeah earnings
1:49
depend on how much you use your device
1:50
and share data so running the app on
1:53
devices you use regularly is key makes
1:55
sense now under the referral program
1:58
unap gives you 10% of what your friends
2:00
earn and it's for life that is pretty
2:03
generous plus they mention earning up to
2:05
$5 for each bright VPN referral although
2:08
the requirements for that are a little
2:09
fuzzy a little mystery there okay but
2:12
let's talk about actually getting paid
2:15
the source we looked at got their
2:17
earnings through PayPal yeah they had to
2:19
pay a small fee but it came within a
2:21
week so not instant but not bad either
2:24
no it's a pretty smooth process cool all
2:26
right let's move on to Honey game they
2:28
make it sound super easy sign up
2:30
download run three simple steps they
2:34
really emphasize the ease of use don't
2:36
they and focus on how you can use that
2:38
money for things you already do
2:39
subscriptions gaming even saving smart
2:42
way to get people thinking about what
2:44
they could do with the extra cash it
2:45
definitely makes it feel relatable and
2:47
achievable now how's their referral
2:49
program compared to earn apps honey gain
2:52
gives a flat $25 each month for every 10
2:55
friends you refer so that's a fixed
2:57
reward instead of a percentage Yeah a
2:58
different approach but one thing the
3:00
source didn't really say was how much
3:01
you actually earn H they focus more on
3:04
the ease and potential but not the
3:06
specifics yeah you might have to dig a
3:08
Little Deeper to find concrete numbers
3:10
on earnings but that's pretty common
3:11
with these kinds of passive income
3:13
things okay so I've got two apps earn
3:15
app and honey game both promising extra
3:19
cash just for sharing unused internet
3:21
bandwidth we've seen how they work what
3:24
you might earn and a little about
3:26
referrals but before you jumped in there
3:29
are some important things to think about
3:31
we'll get into those details next time
3:32
stay tuned because we're going to dive
3:34
deeper into what you need to know before
3:36
hitting that download button all right
3:38
so welcome back we talked about the
3:39
basics of earap and honey game but now
3:42
let's get into some of the nitty-gritty
3:43
the stuff you really need to think about
3:45
yeah because as cool as easy money
3:47
sounds there are always things to
3:49
consider especially when we're talking
3:51
about sharing our internet bandwidth
3:53
exactly one thing people often ask about
3:56
is the data these apps collect ear apppp
3:58
is actually pretty upfront about it they
4:00
gather public web data like product
4:02
prices travel info that sort of thing
4:05
okay so what does that mean public web
4:07
data it's the kind of information that's
4:09
already out there think about it like
4:11
this businesses and researchers need
4:14
data to understand what's going on like
4:16
market trends what consumers are doing
4:19
uh so this public web data is really
4:22
valuable to them so maybe they use it to
4:24
figure out how to price things or what
4:26
travel destinations are popular exactly
4:29
imagine a company wants to launch a new
4:31
product say a pair of sneakers they
4:33
could use n app to see what other
4:35
similar sneakers are selling for online
4:38
that helps them set a good price or a
4:39
travel agency could use it to see what
4:41
flights and hotels people are booking
4:43
right it's like a huge data collection
4:46
project but it's all happening in the
4:47
background through people's internet
4:49
connections that's pretty wild when you
4:51
think about it like all this seemingly
4:52
normal internet stuff is actually
4:55
valuable data it is and that's why
4:57
transparency is so important users need
4:59
to know how their data is being used and
5:01
earap seems to get that they're upfront
5:03
about it but still each person has to
5:06
decide if they're okay with that level
5:07
of data sharing right it's a personal
5:10
choice okay so what about honeygain what
5:12
data do they collect they're a bit more
5:14
vague about the specifics they say they
5:17
provide businesses with valuable
5:19
insights but they don't really break it
5:20
down like earap does maybe they just
5:23
explain things differently earap seems
5:25
more Technical and honeygain focuses
5:27
more on the ease of use and the
5:29
potential rewards could be it's also
5:32
possible they use the data slightly
5:34
differently if you're really concerned
5:36
about data collection you might need to
5:37
dig a little deeper into honey game okay
5:40
makes sense now let's talk security we
5:43
mentioned that Google Play protect
5:45
warning about ear apppp being
5:47
potentially harmful what are some
5:49
General Security risks with these kinds
5:50
of apps well anytime you install an app
5:53
there's a potential security risk right
5:55
apps can be infected with malware and
5:57
that could put your data at risk so how
5:59
can people protect themselves first of
6:01
all stick to official app stores and be
6:04
careful about apps that ask for a ton of
6:06
permissions they don't really need like
6:07
if an app that's just supposed to share
6:09
bandwidth wants access to my camera or
6:11
microphone exactly always be cautious
6:14
and keep your devices and apps updated
6:17
that helps patch security holes good
6:20
advice what about using these apps with
6:22
a VPN do they usually work well together
6:26
it depends on the app and how it's
6:27
designed some might work fine with a VPN
6:29
others might not so if you use a VPN you
6:31
should double check with the app yeah
6:33
always a good idea and remember a VPN is
6:35
just one layer of protection it's not
6:37
like a Magic Shield right it doesn't
6:39
make you completely Invincible online so
6:42
it seems like using these apps has some
6:43
risks like anything else we do online
6:46
that's true you always have to weigh the
6:48
risks and rewards and make informed
6:49
choices based on your own Comfort level
6:51
exactly okay well we've covered a lot
6:53
today how earn apppp and honeygain work
6:56
what you might earn security stuff yeah
6:59
but there's one more important thing to
7:00
talk about before we wrap up our deep
7:02
dive ooh a cliffhanger don't worry
7:05
everyone we'll be right back with the
7:06
last part of our look into these passive
7:08
income
7:09
apps all right welcome back we've talked
7:12
about how earn app and honey gain work
7:13
how much you can earn and some security
7:15
stuff to keep in mind and now we got to
7:17
zoom out a bit look at the bigger
7:19
picture these apps are part of something
7:21
bigger right it's called the sharing
7:22
economy oh yeah like ride sharing apps
7:24
or renting out your place on Airbnb
7:26
you're basically making money from
7:28
something you already own exactly
7:29
exactly and in this case it's your
7:31
unused internet bandwidth right but that
7:34
makes me wonder what happens if more and
7:36
more people start doing this what does
7:38
it mean for the internet as a whole
7:40
that's a great question will it make the
7:42
internet faster more accessible for
7:45
everyone or could it create new problems
7:49
it's hard to say for sure it's
7:51
definitely something to think about
7:53
another thing I was wondering about is
7:55
how these companies actually make money
7:58
who's paying for this bandwidth and why
8:00
yeah someone has to be paying right
8:02
otherwise they wouldn't be in business
8:03
well it turns out businesses and
8:04
researchers are willing to pay for
8:07
access to this data the data that earap
8:09
and honey game collect yep remember we
8:12
talked about earap collecting public web
8:14
data like prices and travel info that
8:16
kind of stuff is really valuable for
8:18
businesses ah so they're kind of like
8:20
the middleman they connect people who
8:22
have extra bandwidth with companies who
8:24
need data exactly it's a data exchange
8:28
and everybody gets something out of it
8:30
people earn money companies get data and
8:33
the app developers they make a profit
8:34
from connecting them wow it's a whole
8:36
ecosystem it really shows you how the
8:38
internet is constantly changing creating
8:40
new opportunities but it also reminds us
8:43
that nothing's really free right
8:45
someone's always paying for the internet
8:47
whether it's us buying internet service
8:49
or companies investing in the
8:50
infrastructure or these businesses
8:52
buying data Okay so we've covered a lot
8:55
we looked at how earn app and honey gain
8:57
work what you can potentially earn some
8:59
security stuff and their place in this
9:02
whole sharing economy thing we even
9:04
talked about the business model behind
9:06
it all I feel like I understand a lot
9:07
more about these apps now and that's
9:09
what we wanted to do right give you the
9:11
info you need to make an informed
9:12
decision exactly so what's the most
9:14
important thing for our listeners to
9:16
take away from all of this I think it
9:18
comes down to this there are tradeoffs
9:21
you can earn some passive income but
9:23
you're also sharing some data and
9:25
trusting the app developers with your
9:27
internet connection right you have to
9:29
find the right balance for yourself some
9:31
people might be fine with sharing their
9:33
bandwidth others might not be so
9:35
comfortable and that's totally okay yeah
9:37
the key is to do your research think
9:40
about the pros and cons and decide
9:41
what's right for you and it's always
9:43
good to stay up to date on new text
9:45
stuff right so you can make smart
9:47
choices about how you use the internet
9:49
couldn't have said it better myself it's
9:50
been a fascinating look into the world
9:52
of these passive income apps hopefully
9:54
you all enjoyed it thanks for joining us
