So first of all, a little bit about me and my background - I am just a simple “Jenny from the block” type of person who has hers 9 to 5 job but always is a little bit short of money at the end of the month. Because of that I am always looking for some creative ways to make money online and offline. 

Recently, I was scrolling Buzzfeed and found an article about how to make money while you are on quarantine and it suggested that I try Honeygain app out. Before installing it to my all devices and starting to generate money I (like a good and responsible human being) did my research and found one amazing Medium article that helped me out to understand what kind of app this is (read it here). 

So, what is Honeygain in the first place?!

According to Honeygain website it is “an application which allows you to reach your unused internet’s full potential by making your device a gateway.” To put it simply, when you’re on the internet you’re not using its full potential (unless you’re massively downloading but I kinda doubt it). That is where Honeygain shows its magic - the app will use the remaining unused part of your internet traffic and even pay you for that.You can use your mobile data, but if you connect to any Wi-Fi, the app will continue working, which means you don’t have to spend absolutely anything to make money - find your local cafe and make money while drinking sweetest coffee with 5 pumps of caramel syrup. Sounds too good to be true? Well…. But it is! I feel you, naturally you want to know what your internet traffic will be used for. So far (and i'm using it for a month), I haven’t noticed anything suspicious. They’re transparent about this information and say that your internet traffic is used by data scientists for SEO monitoring, market research, etc. This is a standard digital marketing practice and nothing out of the ordinary. So yea, it is safe to use! Earning principle is pretty easy - You earn 1 credit/10MB shared, and one credit is worth 0.001$, so for 10GB shared you get 1$. 

Insights

I installed Honeygain to my Android phone and my MacBook. The usage of it is very easy - you just leave the app running on your device and that's it (HG is very light on your devices, so it should not slow down your pc or phone). So, Honeygain only lets you have 2 devices per 1 IP address, but they have no restrictions on how many IP addresses you can have on your 1 account. That means, if you want to make even more money you can install it in your friends phones or even your grandmas! Just remember - it will use your internet so if you do not have unlimited data try to use public Wi-Fi (if you don’t have this opportunity - you can limit daily usage in apps settings). I personally have unlimited internet so I don’t really care how many MB or even GB Honeygain “eats”, plus it lets me leave the app running 24/7 and makes me potentially more money. Without 2 devices I have around 30 referrals (I recommended it to my friends and friends friends, etc.) by doing so they get extra starters $5 and I get 10% from their earnings, so this is pretty sweet deal too. Without it, I also use the Content Delivery feature that is available in my country. This feature guarantees (as they say) steady passive income every month. Little bit about this feature - Content Delivery is another way to share your internet connection. It includes multiple types of bandwidth-intensive content such as images, videos, audio, streaming, heavy websites, IPTV, VOD, social media, or VoIP services. (No, your device storage will not be needed, as previously - the app only uses your network). 

Okey okey! I get it - Honeygain is cool. But what about earnings??

As I said, I have Honeygain only for a month, despite that after two weeks I reached their minimum payout ($20) and I steadily earn around $10 a week. So basically I earn around $25-$40 a month which is pretty sweet (some days are with better earnings some are small)! I easily cover my small monthly expenses like Netflix and Spotify Premium accounts fees. Plus, I used an extra $5 coupon when I signed up - GETBONUS (it is NOT my referral coupon!).

Last words

Overall, Honeygain is a cool and modern way to make money online nowadays. It won’t make you a fortune but it is still pretty sweet to get extra $30 every month!
