Get paid to walk!?

(Updated 2/15/20 These sites are for U.S. citizens, but your area may have options like them)

I started my journey into passive income so that I could afford to be outdoors more, whether it's buying the gear I need or just so that I can work less and have more time for hobbies I enjoy. Our health is important, so If you go on daily walks or are interested in getting out and putting some miles on those shoes these sites will pay you to get up and be active.

Achievement pays you up to 80 points per day for logging your exercise and pays out $10 for every 10,000 points.

Walgreens Balance Rewards is great for people who already shop at Walgreens. At 20 points per mile, you can max out at 1000 points per month.

StepBet lets you gamble real money on whether or not you will meet certain fitness goals. You can lose money with this one, but you can also gain money for being active.

Rover pays you to walk a dog. Combine the up-to-$20 / walk you can earn walking a dog with some of the above sites to maximize your income.

Sweatcoin uses their own cryptocurrency, 5 sweatcoins for 5000 steps wit the free membership and up to 10 sweatcoins ofr 10,000 steps in the paid membership. At 20,000 sweatcoins you get a $1000 PayPal payout - but this can only be done once. Still, $1000 is a strong motivator to get out and start walking.

There has never been a better time to get out and be active. Besides the money you can earn through these sites, you are investing in your health. No one ever talks about the money you could save on healthcare costs by being physically active on non-traditional income sites, but it really can be worth thousands of dollars in unnecessary doctors visits to just get up and get moving.
