Editor’s note: This article was first published in January 2011. Whether Qustodian still exists and still pays users to receive mobile ads has not been checked.
Among the ways to earn extra money, one initiative that stands out is Qustodian, a company that literally pays you to receive advertising on your mobile phone. In short, you get paid for what you already put up with every day from companies that send out advertising spam.
There’s no catch, except for one thing you should know. The system does let you earn money for receiving these messages, which you can read whenever you like, but it’s also true that a high percentage of people end up buying something, since you will have filled in a questionnaire beforehand about your tastes and the kind of advertising you want to receive.
It may be worth trying your luck if you’d like some extra money, which some people will welcome in these times of crisis.
