Wondering how you get paid to walk
You think I am kidding and making fun of you
Well, this is not a joke, I found that
There are so many mobile apps to download
Where you will get paid to walk
Sweatcoin
This is one of the top name in the get paid to walk apps
Sweatcoin pays you with a currency called Sweatcoin
Anytime you walk or run outside Sweatcoin app will track your steps
You earn 1 Sweatcoin (SWC) for every 1,000 steps you take
Consider taking 5% commission so you earn 0.95 SWC
Does Sweatcoin actually pay you?
Sweatcoin does not actually pay you by giving you money
Instead they give you credit in SWC to spend against offers or products in their marketplace
Does Sweatcoin have a limit?
Your daily maximum for the free plan called Mover is 5 SWC
You can upgrade your plan to Shaker for 4.75 SWC per month or
Quaker for 20 SWC per month or Breaker for 30 SWC per month
How does Sweatcoin make money?
Sweatcoin as a free app needs a revenue system to stay in business
Sweatcoin company managed to raise $5.7 million
This money came as a seed round led by Goodwater Capital
With participation from Greylock Partners, Rubylight, Seedcamp, and SmartHub
Keep in mind that so many companies want to put their offers in the spend area
If they list a TV there, all members will see it in their feed
It is a very effective form of advertising
You can download Sweatcoin for iPhone and Android
How to transfer Sweatcoin to PayPal?
You cannot transfer at all times your Sweatcoin accumulated points to PayPal
What I mean is, only when you join a marathon which is a long term task, it can take you more than a year, once you win the marathon offer then you will be able to cash your accumulated Sweatcoins to Paypal
But if you manage to combine inviting your friends and family to join Sweatcoin you will get 5 Sweatcoins for each member
Give it a try and walk the 20K outdoor steps and now as of updating this question Sweatcoin counts indoor steps too
Again keep in mind that you can have 2 or more people use the same Sweatcoin account on different smart phones and work toward one goal the 20K steps
Can you transfer Sweatcoin money to your bank?
Only you can transfer to your PayPal account but once you transfer to PayPal, you can transfer from your PayPal to your bank account

Sweatcoin encourages you to invite more people like your friends and family
They give you an influencer title once you succeed to invite 30 or more to install Sweatcoin into their smart phones

A lot of competitors they pay like $5
They don’t take it seriously
This gives you advantage over them
How to benefit the most from get paid to walk apps?
If you are planning to use get paid to walk apps
Then I recommend to download multiple apps together
Why? because all apps will track your progress
You walk once and get rewarded by many apps
The disadvantage of downloading multiple apps
You will notice right away that
Your smartphone battery drains immediately
These apps are running in the background
You have to something like Power Bank
You have to carry it in your pocket
Just in case you need to charge your smartphone immediately
