A Small Cost Effective Tip

A simple tip to buy paid mobile apps from the PlayStore.

This requires some patience. If you are up for it – It could save you money. Install Google Survey app on your mobile. Answer the surveys honestly, you will be paid in PlayStore credits. The surveys are not very frequent. On an average, you get 2 or 3 surveys per month. After a few months, location-based surveys tend to be pushed, which is of high credit values. You can then earn a lot more quickly after which you can use the credits to buy a mobile application on PlayStore.

So Start your Automation, Have Fun!!
