Yesterday my friend @hampshirefrost and I decided to take a walk up Griffith. The previous day brought rain which always makes for a great view. There aren't a lot of days in Los Angeles to see clouds, so when they appear I try my best to get beyond the pavement @getoutherebtp and watch the show of the white vaporous beauty. I think of the movie "The Aviator" where Howard Hughes is spending vast amounts of money merely searching for clouds to shoot his WWI aerial dogfight scene for "Hell's Angeles" .
While on this hike I also tested out an app called @sweatcoin that @mysocallife1402 suggested I should try. She tells me "you get paid for walking outside." Being a avid outside walker, I thought it would be in my best interest to invest some time finding out more about this app that pays you to walk outside. There has to be a catch, right?
Yes, here's the catch. You are paid in SWEATCOINS which is not a crypto currency, as of now. It's a electronic credit created exclusively for their own store. It takes a thousand steps to create one Sweatcoin. Folks can exchange their Sweatcoins for items or offers from their Sweatcoin store. But can you get paid?
Yes, you can technically. As of now they have an offer where you can exchange twenty thousand Sweatcoins for $1,000 in PayPal cash. Theoretically, you can transfer the PayPal Cash into your bank. But let's do the math real fast. 20,000 Seatcoins would take 20,000,000 steps. It takes about 2,000 steps to walk a mile. So you'll have to walk about 10,000 miles to earn that $1,000. Therefore you earn $1 for every ten miles you walk outside. One more catch, for you to be eligible to earn that amount of Sweatcoins, you'll have to bump up your subscription level which cost your Sweatcoins and lowers the value of your steps but increases the amount of steps that count. There are more obtainable offers and gifts available.
In all, I think it's a pretty good idea. If it gets one person out of their house and walking outside, it's done a good job in my mind. I have friends that run miles everyday and could totally rack up on free stuff. Is it for you? Find out with the link below.
