A semi-pro basketball coach offers the following: “I will have one of my basketball players dunk the ball then say what you want for 5 seconds for $5.” More conventional fare is also common: “I will enhance your photo for $5,” for example, or “I will write any name on my body and send you a picture for $5.” What will you do for $5? Figure it out, let the world know, and then use this app to make some money. This app is not currently available in the App Store. WeReward: WeReward works through your Twitter, Facebook, or Foursquare account, so if you are sensitive about privacy, watch out. WeReward pays you for simple photos and check-ins. The basic deal is, that you go somewhere, you check in, thereby advertising the business through a social media outlet, and they give you money. Do you go out every night? Check in to a few places on the way to the place where you want to end up and make some spare cash. Use that cash to go out more—or at least cover the tip. Repeat.
