Yes, you heard that right. There are apps available on your phone right now that pay you to walk. Just download the app, create the account, and collect. Here are a few apps we’re using right now:

1. Sweatcoin – we’ve been using this app for about eight months now and late last year they created a cryptocurrency that you “mine” by walking. As of today, you can earn one “SWEAT” token by walking 2,920.27 steps. This will continue to increase, so get in early! So far we’ve earned around 1,200 SWEAT tokens, which is the equivalent to around $15 CDN. You won’t get rich, but not bad for doing nothing!
2. Optimity – we’ve had this app for over a year and forgot about it until recently. No crypto on this app, but you do get rewards for walking, particularly if you meet your targets. There’s also other offers that can get you more points that you can then use to get gift cards. We have a balance of just over 5,000, which is just over a $1 CDN. Not great, but may be able to get more if we focus on this app a bit more.
3. STEPN – this is a new app we downloaded last week that we are excited about. Until recently, you needed to put in a special code that was only released once every 15 minutes, so it was difficult to get access to. They must have removed this requirement because we were able to get a code emailed to us last week. This app is different than the others, as you need to buy an NFT of a shoe before you can participate. You are then able to make money for walking, however when you start it only works in short spurts based on the energy on your app. This is an app we are going to be researching more, and will let you know how it works in a future post!

So download one of the above apps, and let’s make some money and maybe a get a little exercise in while we’re doing it!
