<p>In 2021, we are reaching our <a data-linked-post="2625058424" href="https://www.xonecole.com/money-goals-to-have-by-30/" target="_blank">money goals</a>! We have heard many times before that having <a data-linked-post="2645194727" href="https://www.xonecole.com/issa-rae-ownership-multiple-streams-income/" target="_blank">multiple streams of income</a> is the way to go. You may have heard that most millionaires have seven streams of income that they traditionally use. Those seven streams of income are:</p><ul class="ee-ul"><li>Earned Income</li><li>Profit Income</li><li>Interest Income</li><li>Dividend Income</li><li>Rental Income</li><li>Capital Gains</li><li>Royalty Income</li></ul><p>According to an article by the career site <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/7-income-streams-most-millionaires-manoj-arora/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>: </p><blockquote>"There's a lot of hype going around the get-rich-quick industry about how to become a millionaire overnight, but the truth is that most people don't have an overwhelming, all-consuming desire to earn a great deal more money than they need to live comfortably. I believe that what most people want isn't to make 20 million USD in a few years. What they really want is to stop trading their time for money – or at the very least, reduce the amount of time they spend making that money." </blockquote><p>Reducing the amount of time you spend making money is the ideal situation. There are 24 hours in a day, it is necessary to maximize that time to stream in income. Luckily, with smartphones literally at the tip of your fingers, you can turn your screen time on apps into an avenue that makes you money. It may not make you a <a data-linked-post="2640498988" href="https://www.xonecole.com/the-budgetnista/" target="_blank">millionaire</a> right away but it can bring in a few hundred to thousands of dollars a month. Check out these apps to stream more income into your bank account. </p>

<p>If you are like me, you have a never-ending bookshelf full of books. Some I have bought and sit in a "plan to read pile" for months on end and some that I have collected over time never to be read again. If this is sounding familiar, then <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bookscouter/id366508853" target="_blank">Bookscouter</a> is the app for you to get rid of those books that are taking up space in your home. Marie Kondo taught us to only keep things in our home that spark joy, and that includes books. This app allows you the opportunity to sell books online and to locate the highest bidder easily. You can choose to sell your old and used books by downloading the app, scanning the book barcodes, looking at the aggregation of buyback prices, and selling to the highest buyer. The shipping for this app is free.</p><div class="ad-tag">

Getaround
<img lazy-loadable="true" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDk3MTI5MS9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYxMzUzNDQxMX0.Y7Xp3p4d39H_wdlIsU2VNDqqgBUbBPuxUKctR70hfDs/img.jpg?width=980" id="2d8e2" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="b21437807279c58337143598f1080140" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" data-width="5147" data-height="2897" />Getaround
<p>This app is similar to Turo where it is based on the idea of people sharing their cars with strangers. According to a <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2015/06/15/getaround-how-works/71226748/" target="_blank"><em>USAToday</em></a> article:</p><blockquote>"Getaround enables members to rent out their vehicles to strangers. Those willing to share their vehicles pay $99 for Getaround to install a device that can unlock the vehicle through a smartphone app. There also is a pouch in which the owner places the key. In addition, owners pay a $20 monthly fee to be connected to the company's network." </blockquote><p>OK, so you can list your car starting a $5 an hour and higher based on Getaround's recommendations. If you get a client, <a href="https://www.getaround.com/" target="_blank">Getaround </a>does keep 40 percent. The app guarantees that you will make $1,000 in the first three months. However, your car can be no older than 10 years old and needs to have less than 125,000 miles. I personally have seen many people build businesses that are extremely successful and lucrative off these sorts of apps.</p><p>So, kickstart your 2021 with some of these apps and bring in that extra cash you need. There are many more out there but it is my suggestion to do your research and make sure you get cashback and not rewards. Also, apps sound like they put money in your pocket but you need to read the fine print. However, the apps I mentioned above should get you started in the right direction.</p><p><strong>Are you a member of our insiders squad?
