Get Paid to Walk?

I am here to tell you yes you can.... in fact, I have been earning sweatcoins since January 2019. I simply walk and collect sweat coin daily and exchange them for products and services on the Sweatcoin marketplace. Now when I do my weekly Parkruns, I collect Vitality points and Sweatcoins in one go....yup, that's how I roll.

The end-goal for Sweatcoin is to become a fully-fledged currency listed on exchanges (like bitcoin). When this becomes a reality, you will be able to exchange your sweatcoins for cold hard cash.

Walk, Run, Skip, Hopscotch: As long as you’re moving, you’re earning free sweatcoins (aka free money). Put your phone in your pocket, have the app running in the background, and convert your steps into sweatcoins for you to spend. This does eat battery power, but there is a power saver option.

 Daily Bonus: Watch a short 30 second advertisement and get paid 1 sweatcoin. Come back the next day, watch another ad, and get paid 2 sweatcoins. Come back the following day, and get paid 4 sweatcoins.

Refer A Friend: If Sweatcoin has encouraged you to get outside and be healthy, then recommend Sweatcoin to a friend. When they download the app and create their account, 5 sweatcoins will be added to your Sweatcoin wallet. What’s more, when you invite 6 friends, you can redeem $6 in PayPal cash. Need an easy first person to invite? Have your spouse to download the app and make easy money right now. 

Sweatcoin’s basic membership allows you to earn up to a maximum of 150 sweatcoins per month (5,000 steps per day). But if you walk more than this, be sure to increase your earning’s cap.

Upgrade your membership—the fee is paid in Sweatcoins which means it doesn’t cost you anything other than your steps—to ensure you get paid for every step you take.

.Don’t ‘Force Close’ Sweatcoin

You know when you double tap the home button (or swipe up on new iPhones) and you’re presented with all the apps currently running on your phone? You know how you can force close apps from this screen? 

Do not force close Sweatcoin; keep it running in the background so that every step  you take can be counted and converted into cash. 

And don’t worry about the geolocation draining your battery: the app has been engineered to be extremely battery efficient while running. When your phone is in motion, the geolocation setting is turned on; when you are not in motion, the geolocation setting turns off. 

2. Sweatcoin Is On Apple Watch

If you own an Apple Watch, you know that it’s capable of tracking both your steps and geolocation without needing an iPhone present. That means you can leave your phone behind when you go on a walk and still earn sweatcoins. Download the Sweatcoin app to your Apple Watch and never miss a step.

3. Double your Sweatcoin Income

Sweatcoin allows you to transfer your sweatcoins to different users. Normally you wouldn’t use this feature, but if you have a walking partner, it’s a great way to double up on your Sweatcoin income. Got a spouse? Tell them to download Sweatcoin and start taking walks together. When you find an item in the marketplace you’d like to redeem, have your spouse send you their points (now you have double the sweatcoins) and redeem the item. 

Spend your sweatcoins at the in-app Sweatcoin Marketplace. They have hundereds of products available from custom workout subscription, fashion products to discount coupons.

Please note, however, that the Sweatcoin Marketplace only shows four offers per day. These offers change daily so if you don’t see something in the market that catches your eye, be sure to check back tomorrow. 

Sweatcoin has partnered with 300+ retailers, and those retailers have agreed to feature their products in the Sweatcoin Marketplace—they have agreed to accept your sweatcoins as a viable payment option for their products. 

For example, Sweatcoin has partnered with Apple, and Apple has agreed to allow you to purchase an iPhone XS for 20k sweatcoins. 

1. Get Paid For Indoor Steps

Sweatcoin is working to improve their step-count algorithm so that your indoor-steps are counted. Soon, every step you take will be worth a little bit of money.

2. Increased Sweatcoins-Per-Step Converstion

Right now, the current conversion rate is 1,000 steps per .95 sweatcoin. Sweatcoin is exploring different avenues to increase this conversion rate.

3. The Next Cryptocurrency

The end-goal for Sweatcoin is to become a fully-fledged currency listed on exchanges (like bitcoin). When this becomes a reality, you will be able to exchange your sweatcoins for cold hard cash

Pros:

• Get Paid to Be Healthy: You need to exercise, one way or another. Sweatcoin wants to help you do it. 
• It Works Automatically: Keep Sweatcoin running in the background on your phone so that it can track your steps automatically. As long as you have your phone in your pocket, you’ll be getting paid
• Amazon and PayPal Vouchers:Those rewards make sweatcoins as good as cash. 

Cons:

• The Marketplace Is Small:You’re not going to find too many items you’re excited about in the Sweatcoin Marketplace. Again, hold out for those Amazon and PayPal Vouchers so that you can turn your sweatcoins into cash. Sweatcoin is fairly new, as it grows more option will become available. 
• Decreased Battery Life:When your GPS is running, your battery is going to decrease faster than normal. But it’s not in vein: if your GPS is running, that means you’re getting paid!

1. Does Sweatcoin Use Data when counting my steps?

No. Sweatcoin uses your phone’s pedometer and GPS system, neither of which require Data or Wi-Fi to function. 

2. Do SweatCoins expire? 

Sweatcoins never expire. You have all the time in the world to save up 20k sweatcoins and buy yourself the iPhone XS. 

3. Will I earn steps walking on a treadmill?

No. Due to Sweatcoins two-part verification system (see above), you cannot remain in a fixed location while walking. This is to prevent cheaters who want to shake their phone while sitting on the couch to earn free SweatCoins.

4. Does SweatCoin count my indoor steps?

Technically no. But in my own personal experience, my steps around the house have been getting counted. Maybe your indoor-steps will be counted too. 

5. Can I cash out my SweatCoins to my PayPal or bank account?

You cannot cash out your SweatCoins to your PayPal or bank account. However, the Sweatcoin marketplace sells PayPal vouchers. Purchasing a voucher is just as good as transferring your SweatCoins into your PayPal account. 

6. What is the value of a SweatCoin?

On average, 50 sweatcoins equal $1.

After several months of testing out the app, we can confidently say Sweatcoin is not a scam. You can, earn real money in the form of PayPal or Amazon vouchers from simply walking outside! In fact, it has made us way more excited to get outside and get active!
