You don't like to think about it, but between the up-front cost and the monthly contract payments, yourphone costs you a fair bit of money. What you might not realize is that it can make you money, too.

You wont get rich, but you can pay for a few trips to Starbucks. Heres how to get started.

1. Sell your photos

I've talked in the past about making money with microstock photography, but it involves taking pictures, moving them to a computer, cleaning them up, finding a good site to upload them and then promoting them. It would be nice if you could trim down the process.

Foapis an app (Android, Apple; Free) that does just that. Simply take pictures with your smartphone's camera and your favorite photo app, and then add them to Foap.

Just about any kind of image can sell if a company thinks it will work for it. That means that cute pet picture, vacation photos, even photos of food if you have those.

There are no limits on how many photos you can upload, and for every sale you get $5.If you want to make more, Foap offers photo missions where big brands pay hundreds or thousands to get specific photos.

2. Do tiny tasks forbig payoffs

If you don't mind getting out and about, you can take small jobs around your city. These are things like verifying that a display stand has been put up in a store, or the arrangements of productson a shelf.If you don't like to travel, some tasks can even be done from your living room.
