Why the creator ditched Perk TV
Perk TV cut how much it paid users and a disastrous update 'butchered' the app. A blog post about the update sealed the decision to switch.

CheckPoints — the rival rewards app
CheckPoints auto-plays videos, does not freeze, and pays better. You earn points that convert to dollars and can also scan items at stores.

Device test results
Tested on iPhone 5, 5S, 4S, 4 and two Moto Gs. Points per 8-hour night: 54, 40, 50, 18, 64. Total ~280 points per phone for 8 hours.

Converting points to dollars
A dollar is roughly 335 points, so ~280 points is about 80 cents. Running videos twice daily earns ~$1.60 a day, about $45–$50 a month converted.

[00:02] make money with your smartphone so in today's episode I'm going to be talking about what I've been using in place of perk TV yes I finally decided to ditch perk I don't use them anymore to make automatic money with my
[00:17] smartphones because they have been cutting back on how much they've been paying their users uh the app doesn't work as well they released an update about a month ago that kind of butchered it in many ways
[00:29] uh I'll leave a link to one of my blog posts uh about perk TV and their new update I just wrote it last week that's when I decided to can it and moved to something else well what did I move to I moved to a service called checkpoints
[00:43] video and checkpoints video is just like perk TV in many ways uh number one it plays automatically and number two you can make money with it that's basically it the way it's different from Park TV is it does not freeze it runs flawlessly
[00:58] on most devices I'll get into that later and um the the earning the amount better okay it's it's it's a more lucrative service at this point than
[01:10] lucrative service at this point than perk TV is because of their cutbacks now some of you may recognize the name checkpoints oh what is that checkpoints is a great rewards app they um you can go to the store and scan items on the
[01:22] Shelf to make money with checkpoints you can um check into local businesses to daily routine video I already use checkpoints for those things but now I'm going to be adding Auto videos because their Auto video service is absolutely
[01:36] amazing if you go to the app by the way my link to sign up is below there'll be a tab that says watch videos you go there and there's a button that just says play all and the videos will play automatically and you make a point for a
[01:48] video so I did test this on a couple different devices of mine I tested it on different devices of mine I tested it on an iPhone 4 4s 5 5s and two Moto G's here are my results so with the iPhone 5 my main phone ran it at night and um
[02:03] my main phone ran it at night and um about 8 Hour session okay I made 54 points with that and then I ran it on iPhone 4S um that made about 40 points you know slower processor and the two Moto G's both made each uh 50 points on
[02:18] they're the same phone run on the same internet um different times of course both make 50 points um then with an iPhone 4 this is
[02:31] kind of old it only got 18 points with checkpoints video for an 8 Hour session checkpoints video for an 8 Hour session and the big Boomer the iPhone 5S made uh 64 points so you total all of that okay I ran that's six phones I tested it on
[02:45] if you would total all of that that would be 280 points about rounding for would be 280 points about rounding for running it on an 8 Hour session okay and divide that by 335 because that's what a dollar is on checkpoints
[03:00] dollar is on checkpoints and you have about 80 cents okay round give or take couple cents then the thing is I ran perk TV twice a day in a 24-hour period that is ran it in bed ran it while I was at school or away doing
[03:14] other things during the day well there we go multiply that by two that's $160 for day doing nothing great isn't it Auto videos another great Auto video app from checkpoints I really commend them on um making such a flawless service to
[03:30] run automatic videos to make money with and um uh a $160 converts to our monthly spectrum of about a little bit over $45
[03:42] which is much better than what perk TV has to offer lately with their new cutbacks so that is my decision guys I decided to switch from perk TV I feel like I'm finished with them and I'm
[03:54] moving to checkpoints video um of course I'm not going to bash per TV that there cutting back on the amount of money they're making but there are better offers out there and I'm going to them check points video you are great sign up
[04:08] with checkpoints in the link below check out my website check out the Twitter and Facebook and um yeah I will see you in the next money-making video have a great the next money-making video have a great time guys see you
