I recently touched the subject of making money on your phone here: viewtopic.php?f=67&t=13901 and passive money-making apps here: viewtopic.php?f=67&t=13936 . I want to talk a little more in depth about the phone farms. A phone farm is simply a bunch on phones put together that run passive money-making apps 24/7. I would love to suggest 3 of the best phones you can get for such a setup. They're in no particular order.

Pro-tips: Cracked screens warrant lower prices, you only need it to run apps so it's a good idea to buy cracked devices for cheaper. Turn the brightness down to 0% so they consume less energy and the wear on your battery lessens. Take off the back of your phones and prop them up against a granite block, those take way more energy to heat up. Your phones will be cool as ice.

1. Moto G [Cracked - ~$8-$15 on eBay/Clean - ~$30 on eBay] - a phone that runs apps flawlessly, the specs are a bargain for thise price and you're also looking at longevity, I reckon you can use it for more than 2 years without an issue. It even runs Android 6.0.1 so you will have nearly the best compatibility with apps. I have a few of them running 24/7 and they never broke down.



2. Moto E [Cracked - $5-$10 on eBay/Clean - $15-$20 on eBay] - another one from Google's Motorola range, this one is Moto G's little brother that only sports a dual core processor so it will not be as snappy but as long as you don't clutter it with useless cache files you'll have no problem running the aforementioned apps. Both Moto G and Moto E have medium-sized screens so they won't even take up that much space.



3. Last but not least, LG Optimus Fuel [New - $20/Used - $10-15/Cracked - $5-8. All prices from eBay] - probably the best phone you can get for a phone farm. 3.5" screen, decent specs for the price, runs apps really well even though you may not think it does and is overall the best purchase. I bought 5 of these in bulk when I used to have a phone farm and I made over $200 profit. The phones don't take up much space at all, I used to fit 10 of them in a shoebox and I still had space for the charger. If you're serious about building up a farm you can't go wrong with this one!



I'm going to follow up on this article with ways of getting these phones for even cheaper by buying them region-locked or from prepaid plans. Hopefully I gave you an idea about the specs you need to run most of the apps. If you live in a big country like US or UK you can expect to make at least $0.50 from them daily, don't worry about the electricity costs since they're very low. Good luck farming!

There are a LOT of loose ends for this plan. How to search Ebay to find phones at those prices, do you need GSM or CDMA and how much memory do you need. Can you download apps with wifi- only from the Play Store? Can you use TracPhone phones and such, or do they need to be unlocked? I can see a lot of places to stub your toe getting started.

This idea is good in theory .. I even ran Perk on 4 devices at one time. but the problem for the UK is the redemption rate is much higher than for the US. It was 26000 points for $5 as I checked with Perk. I just felt it wasn't worth my time especially as I would have to keep resetting them.

As long as the phone can run Wi-Fi 24/7 that's all you need, prefferably with at least Android 4.0 and some decent hardware. Yes, you can download apps with Wi-FI only and you don't need that much memory since you're going to clear the cache after every "round". Not really sure about burner phones.

It all depends on the app, you just gotta find the one that works good for you!

Is that a picture of your set up? Do you really have that many phones going at once?

It's from a reddit user, that phone farm is pretty big but I've seen even bigger than that, 50 phones at once is the norm for some moneymakers.

I don't think I would put myself in the run for that, it looks very tiresome to have all those phones running. I don't even think I have that time to do that am comfortable with what I have right now

I usually don't use my phone for earning purpose and planned to start as soon as possible. I will consider these points for sure while using.

[adssolsn]

mmmmmmm.....what a great idea, I think you can also buy these phones, change their screen and sell them for a good price.

It doesn't take that much maintenance to run a phone farm, most of the time they continually play videos. Once in a few hours you have to press some buttons then rinse and repeat.

Charging their batteries would be really annoying though. And there's risk of explosion. Let's just keep these intense fireworks within desert fields, shall we?

You're overthinking things, batteries don't "explode" even if you keep them charged up 24/7. If you're worried about it you can set them up against a concrete wall or something that absorbs heat.

There's no harm.in trying, will try this out.just bookmarked this page because I will be needing this exposure soon. I hope there wouldn't be any danger lurking around.

I do not understand . Which apps pay us to use them all the day?
