Most ways to make money on your phone fall into a few groups, and they pay very differently for the same hour. - **Survey and reward apps.** Points or small payments for surveys, tests and tasks. Easy to do on a bus ride, usually little money per hour. - **Gig apps.** Your phone finds the task, but the work happens out in the world, and the app usually sets the rate. - **Selling apps.** Sell secondhand things or your own products, with orders and messages on your phone. - **Paid-call apps.** People pay to talk with you live. This is what hello.fan does, at a price you set. If you want to make money online using phone and nothing else, the last two groups give you the most control, because you decide the price. Paid calls also need no stock and nothing made in advance. The trade-off is that people have to choose you, so it takes a little time to get going. Our guide to [apps that pay you](https://thebestplatform.com/make-money/apps-that-pay/) compares the groups in more detail. ## How does hello.fan work on a phone? If you're wondering how to make money on your phone without learning a new trade, live calls are a simple route: open a creator page, set your prices and switch on your working hours. On Android, install the [hello.fan app from Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hellofan.app&referrer=utm_source%3Dthebestplatform.com%26utm_medium%3Dreferral%26utm_campaign%3Dkw-make-money-from-your-phone%26utm_content%3Dbody). It rings like a normal phone call when a fan calls during your hours. On any other phone, including an iPhone, hello.fan works in Safari or Chrome with no app needed; the browser asks for camera and microphone permission once. The iOS app is on its way. It's the same service everywhere, so a fan on a laptop can call you on your phone, and the other way round. Nothing is recorded, your phone number stays private, and block and report are in every call. Set separate per-minute prices for video, voice and chat, from 50 to 5,000 credits a minute (100 credits = $1). Fans pay per started 15 seconds, only while you're both connected, and ringing is free for them. ## How can you earn money using your phone in short breaks? A phone is always with you, which is both the appeal and the risk: it's easy to let paid calls leak into every spare minute. The better approach is to earn money using your phone in the slots you actually want to use, and switch off the rest. - **Short calls are fine.** Billing is per started 15 seconds, so a ten-minute question pays for ten minutes, not a rounded-up hour. - **Voice when you can't be on camera.** Price voice below video and take voice calls on a walk or between errands. - **Chat for in-between moments.** Text chat has its own price, and it can even be free as a friendly first step. - **Working hours.** hello.fan switches you online and offline automatically, so you're never reachable by accident. Live translated subtitles in 30 languages work on phone calls too, and chat translates itself, so callers from other countries can still follow you.

Calls sell your live time. To make money with your smartphone while you're busy or asleep, you need something people can buy without you, and that's where **store.fan**, also ours, comes in. store.fan gives you a free link-in-bio page that can sell digital downloads, online courses, coaching calls, memberships and paid communities. Its apps on the App Store and Google Play send instant sale alerts, so you can run the shop from your phone. Payments go to your own Stripe account; store.fan never holds the money. - **Free Plus** costs $0 a month, and store.fan keeps 30% of each sale. - **Starter** is $24 a month at the launch price, with a 0% platform fee. The two work together: a store.fan shop on a paid plan that links to your hello.fan page lifts your share of calls from 60% to 70%. hello.fan earnings are paid to your bank through Stripe once your ready balance reaches $100, after a quick ID check. Compare the plans on [store.fan pricing](https://store.fan/pricing?utm_source=thebestplatform.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=kw-make-money-from-your-phone&utm_content=body). Example: 15 voice calls a week from your phone, 8 minutes each, at 90 credits a minute = 120 minutes = 10,800 credits = $108 paid by fans. You keep $64.80 at 60%, or $75.60 at 70% with a linked store.fan shop on a paid plan.
