5. Not sure what you need? Look at the list we put together for you here :)
Speaker 1:
It feels like. Is she really going to talk about apps? The answer is yes. This is going to be quick and dirty, because I'm going to tell you three or four different apps that you should have right now downloaded to your phone. You should just go do it. There is making money, which we're covering in this money series, but there is also quick action things that I want you to just go ahead and consider, and I'm not going to spend $200 telling you why and how. There are no brainers, and I'm going to show you so one of the first. Stay with me, because in the description, if you head back to description, each and every one of these are some form of an affiliate link.
Speaker 1:
All I did was copy them from my phone and copy and paste exactly what the app gave me, so I didn't edit any of the text. However, they either give you $5, they give you access to a thing. It's the what's behind it. Now, I wish I could take credit for this, but this is this first app that I'm going to show you. I actually cannot take credit for it, but what I want to show you, or what I want to say, is that this app is called Upside, so I want to see. Hopefully, I don't know if I can show it, but you can see this. Maybe, yes, possibly no. Ok, so here I'm going to put a screenshot. I'll go back to this message and I'll put a screenshot on it. What it shows you is that I have $132. That's sitting here.
Speaker 1:
Now, what's wild about this is that Upside is how we pay for all of our gas. Now. We spend about $10,000 a year on gas. This is a simple, simple hack. We're spending about $10,000 on gas and, yes, we could go pay with our credit card and get 2% cashback, which is great. Check, awesome. But this app Upside is so cool because we click it and it tells us all of the places that will give us cashback on gas. We don't have to do anything exciting, we just go up. I don't even know how it does it, but when I pull up to the tank, it's going to know that we're at a specific tank and I simply click a button and it automatically says great, this gas station has $0.30 off per gallon of what you're about to use. Now. The other ways that you could use it is on restaurants like this, like Bowl of Greens is in here for 6% In that wild. Yeah, bowl of Greens Valley Coffee this is in our neighborhood 10% off gas.
Speaker 1:
The Freak Brothers Ooh, I need to go see the Freak Brothers Pizza. You know the Freak Brothers all the way ready, so I stopped there. I was like the Freak Brothers period. It's clearly says the Freak Brothers Pizza and I was focused. Now you know who I am. I am who. I am Willie's Tacos, which is down the street 18% cashback. You don't even have to do anything. All you have to do is pay for the item. So I link my cards inside of the app, I put it inside and often the way I go, we use this across the country. You can save on gas, restaurants, groceries, convenience store. There's a Spanish grocery store. I forget what it's called, but it's here. It's not a super, it's another one and we buy fruits and vegetables from there sometimes and we get like 25% cashback. So my reason and logic around showing you this is simply about being spartar with money.
Speaker 1:
The second app that I'm going to show you and I can't share my screen, but it's called. There is a link here. It's called fetch. Now, fetch is a really simple account. Again, another something that we simply link our cards to it.
Speaker 1:
And what I love most is not only because I link my cards, but any and every receipt that I do for the company, any and every receipt that I take for myself personally. It doesn't matter what it is it could be on nails, it could be on Groceries, it could be on food out. I simply take a picture of the receipt and I automatically get points and in these points I accumulate them and I trade them out for gift cards, I trade them out for Food, I can buy things on Amazon and it is clean and it's black and white. Now I have 1800 points and right now I don't know how much that equates to. But here's my last and not least. So you just take, you take, you take Pictures of everything, and everybody should go and download, fetch. These are all free, it's literally free dollars.
Speaker 1:
So on Saturday morning, while I'm sipping coffee or tea, I put the receipts on the counter and I simply take a picture of all of them. When I'm done, I don't, I don't type in anything, I don't call anybody, I don't have to fill out a report, nothing. I literally take the pictures, press, submit and that I'm done and I have tons of points. And it says great, tiffany. You have 25,000 coins or points that you can use. Do you want to go shopping? Do you want to buy groceries? Do you want to go to Amazon? Do you want to go pay for, I think, their shoes and they're like? There's an endless amount of things that I can use it for.
Speaker 1:
Now, inside of DTDT you, I have a list of all of the cash back Type things that we have. We probably have maybe about seven or eight apps that we use on a regular basis. We only started doing this in the last two years. Forever I've been doing cash back things but the internet and apps and Apple. I don't know about androids, but Apple has made it so easy for me to rip and run the reason why these companies do it. They're not taking your information and selling it. If you read the T's and C's which I have, doesn't very peculiar about that stuff. They are actually taking the data, going back to the manufacturers and bargaining with the manufacturers to prove that they are Responsible for more purchases being made and therefore the company pays these companies to stay alive. All right.
Speaker 1:
Last but not least, I have let's see this says last cashback. So sixteen hundred, sixteen hundred and ninety one dollars is what's in here. Okay, and I'll send a screenshot of this too this is my Rakutan, which used to be called Ebates. It sounds stupid, but I'm gonna tell you whether it's on. Look at this. Nike, dell, samsung, adidas, Expedia, lenova, hsn, hm belt, american Eagle, disney, shutterfly, marriott's here, michael horse is here, ebay is here, qvc is here, towel Bucks is here, gamestop Like the amount of things Walmart may see that I can get cash back on is absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1:
The importance for me is that this app is actually the first step of me booking hotels. It's the first step of me booking flights. It's the first step of me booking cars. Why is this important? Because we're talking about like you're not talking about like $20, getting $20 in your bank account. If you're running any form of dollars and you can, in addition to whatever you're getting on your credit card, in addition to these other things, you can take this money and go in either reinvestment.
Speaker 1:
If you're the person who's like Tiffany, right now I don't have money to invest, I don't have money to save, I don't have money to put away Let this be your savings account. Let this be the place that you put money away. Let this be the place that you pull money from to go and invest. If you're like I wanna buy a house, I wanna get into the stock market, like I don't know what it is for you, but I'm gonna tell you right now, for the person who's been making excuses about why they can't get their money together, and you already are spending money Every month. We all spend money to exist, live and, for me, to run a company. So why not get cash back and do and or be smarter with every dollar so that it comes back to you Again?
Speaker 1:
I told you when I started this journey, in addition to selling the high ticket, I wanted to be transparent and say I'm definitely looking for at least 5% to 10% of every dollar that I spend to come back in some way so I can do, I can work less, I can do less, I can move less, and or I can enrich the people around me, and in the smallest ways. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but let's say you were able to get an extra gift card and give it to somebody. Let's say you were able to pay for an experience you weren't able to pay for, or you were able to put $500 away every year or every quarter and at the end of the year you have $2,000 saved. And right now you're at zero, like I don't know what it is for you and I don't care how big your game is. I don't care how big your game is. These are simple things that you can implement right now, and you can start by downloading the app. The link is somewhere here. Bye.
