Do you need more money? Who doesn't, right? After pondering my own sad financial predicament over lunch at the mamak, I decided to go online to look for ways to make (and save) money. Here are the apps and services I found that earn you money, cashback, and other cool rewards:

 

1. 8Share

8Share is a Malaysian social reward network that rewards social media users who love sharing cool stuff on social media. When you join this private rewards club, you just need to share interesting content (also known as 'Specials') from its site on the timeline of your social media account. You earn money and/or points when your friends/followers on social media check out the Specials you share.  

8Share also hosts monthly giveaways where you can win money, and prizes like gadgets and vouchers. Joining 8Share is completely free, and payment is processed twice a month via bank transfer. You can request to cash out your money once you've reached the minimum cash out amount of RM50 (or RM10 within your first 30 days of signing up).

8Share is our sister product, so you can definitely count on it!

Requirement:

  • A Malaysian bank account

Payment/Rewards:

  • Up to RM10 per cash Special
  • Bonus Points (to redeem merchandise/gift cards/vouchers/etc.)
