Having a significant source of income is all good but having a supplement/side hustle is for the better. Having another source of passive income is one of the best ways to earn.
You earn and make money while you are away, asleep, and do not need to be active/ at the job to make it.
If there is
one thing the pandemic taught me is to ‘never place all your eggs in one
basket!’
Before the pandemic hit, I worked as a teacher, and honestly speaking, I did not earn a great deal through the enormous efforts I dedicated.
Waking up early daily, spending long hours standing, and many more, but the pay was not worth it.
The pandemic
got me seated at home for a while, dormant and primarily using the phone at all
times to overcome boredom.
I came across various ways online earning schemes such as watching ads for payment, network referral programs, and many more, and honestly speaking, they are not worth it as most are scams.
They are either strenuous or challenging to achieve their required payment thresholds for cash out or scammers.
I do not want you to suffer that!
After going through many unsuccessful attempts, I decided to do further research about the issue.
I extensively read articles online earning-related blogs, articles in search to find the best-earning criteria that are effective in Uganda.
Some
were effective in Uganda. However, others were not; some required investment
while some didn’t.
In this article, I will show you how to easily make money online in Uganda.
I am focusing mainly on the easiest, those that require no investment, those that could help you make money without paying anything! so if you have
been worried about spending a penny to invest, fear not!

It includes ways of making money online in Uganda, which methods I earn from, so Hope on the ride! Read the article.
There are
quite several ways to earn the passive income you will come across. But you
should bear in mind such questions as;
- How much investment do they require?

How to make money online in Uganda 2021
- Earning through survey taking apps (Premise)
- Digital Marketing and Influencing (Earn through your social media)
- Make Money with Google ( Google AdSense)
First and
foremost;
1. Earn through survey taking and data
collection apps.
You can make money online with surveys.
What are survey-taking apps/ data collection apps?
These are apps that pay you for the data/ information you provide to them.
These apps are more interested in getting your opinion and knowledge about a particular entity in your society,
such as feedback on the quality of infrastructure in your area, education, or financial services.
You’re asked a series of 10- 20 questions in which you are required to give answers such as
“Yes,” “No,” “Not Sure,” among others.
There are quite a several survey apps, some of the popular ones such as Geo poll. But in this blog, my concern is with the effective ones
for Ugandans.
I have tested quite a several survey-taking and data collection apps from the play store.
However, most had a lot of ‘cons,’ and
either had a payout transaction process that is long and hectic or isn’t supported
by the Ugandan financial system, or even high and hard-to-reach threshold
amounts (minimum payout).
With the
above ‘cons’ I concluded the most effective and efficient survey app for Ugandans being; Premise app
Premise app
It is absolutely possible to make money online with this app, the user friendly and easy to use more so with easy cash out routes Precisely suitable for Uganda. i.e. mobile money
Like other survey apps, the premise also offers a set of questions to its contributors, who answer them accordingly while giving their opinions.
It is one of the make-money-online apps you should be already having!
Surveys in
the Premise app differs, ranging from the prices and complexity.
The first set of surveys questions require a contributor to answer questions about a given topic, such as
Finance, Transport, and politics, among others that are
taken into account.
They are
usually, 3-4 minutes read series of questions you could get quickly in
your free time.
The payment
for such surveys is approximate 100/=
for this category.
The other
category of surveys may require one to take pictures and videos of a particular
place as stipulated in the given survey question.
For example, you may be asked to take a picture of a Network mast in your area and record a
short video of it, or taking the place of a water source near you, among others, and the pay-out for this kind of task is approximate 700/=
On average,
you could find (3- 10) survey questions uploaded daily on the premise app.
The premise does not generate a considerable sum of money, but it is better
than nothing!
Previously
the app had no requirement for a minimum threshold (minimum amount required to withdraw); however, the terms changed, and the required payment threshold is 18,800/=the
payment is of two options
- Mobile top-up (as airtime credit)
- Cash withdraw (directly to your mobile money MTN or Airtel)
