I’d like to introduce a new format I’ve been thinking about for a while. Depending on how this article performs, I’ll decide whether to continue this series in the coming months or stick to just this post—and perhaps one at the end of the year covering the full year's results.
In this first report, we’ll analyze August’s earnings specifically from microtasks, surveys, and "passive" apps.

1. Clickworker: €72.12
Clickworker proved to be the most profitable platform of the month. Breaking the total down over 31 days, that’s a daily average of about €2.32.
Where do the earnings come from?
The lion's share comes from AI training activities—specifically, listening to and evaluating audio generated by AI. It’s work that generally requires little effort yet pays well.

2. Timebucks: €27.46
Not exactly a huge amount, but I was on vacation in August and didn't have much time to dedicate to it.
Earnings here came 90% from surveys and 10% from completing objectives in games offered by the platform.

3. Freecash: €7.01
I generated a total of €25 from gaming, but reaching a specific level quickly required an in-game investment of €17.99. It was a tactical move: I spent money in order to earn more.

4. Nielsen Mobile Panel: €10.00.
This is the ultimate app for passive income (generating roughly €30–€60 per year, depending on the devices used). Once installed, it runs entirely in the background.

5. Atlas Earth: €9.58
My adventure in the metaverse and virtual real estate trading continues.

6. Publish0x: €7.74
Earnings derived from reading and writing articles here on the platform. A huge thank you to all of you who constantly support me.

Final Recap

Total Generated: €133.91
Average Daily Earnings: ~€4.32

How long did it take? A look at the hourly rate
I want to be completely transparent—not just about the earnings, but also the time invested. To reach this milestone of over €130, I dedicated an average of 1 to 3 hours a day.
If we took these figures and calculated an hourly wage, the numbers would be very low—incomparable to a traditional job. But that is precisely the point: this isn't a standard job, but a voluntary activity done in my spare time.

Furthermore, these hours of work rarely consist of a single, heavy block of time. My strategy is to fit these tasks into the typical "dead time" of the day: a break, a moment spent waiting, or a few free minutes.
The only exception is the evening, when I usually choose to dedicate a larger chunk of time to it in a focused, uninterrupted way.

Considering this is a way to monetize moments I would otherwise spend simply scrolling through social media or doing nothing, I view this amount as an acceptable and satisfying achievement.
It is free time transformed into value.
