Hi {{first name | friend}},

Think about how much time you spend on your phone today.

Maybe you woke up and checked it before your feet hit the floor. You scrolled while your coffee brewed. You listened to music on your commute.

Perhaps you played a game while you waited for your appointment to start. You read the news at lunch. You charged it on your desk while you worked, and then picked it up twelve more times for no reason you could explain afterward.

Now add that up over a week. A month. A year.

The average person spends somewhere between four and seven hours on their phone every single day. If you are a creator/business owner, I’d double that estimate.

That is more time than most people spend exercising, cooking, reading, or doing anything else they'd describe as intentional.

It is an enormous amount of human attention, flowing freely and continuously into apps and platforms that are monetizing every second of it.

Did you know that Spotify is making money while you listen? Or that the game app has ads running while you play? The news platform is selling your attention to advertisers while you scroll. Your phone manufacturer built a device that keeps you engaged because engagement is the product.

Every stream, every tap, every minute of screen time is data that gets packaged and sold. The platforms get the revenue. The advertisers get the reach.

Everyone in that ecosystem is getting paid.

Everyone except you. Until now.

WHAT IF YOUR PHONE PAID YOU BACK

This is the idea behind today’s featured tool, and once you hear it, you'll wonder why it took this long for someone to build it.

The concept is straightforward: you keep doing exactly what you already do on your phone every day, and you earn points for it. Listen to music, earn points. Play a game, earn points. Charge your device, earn points. Read the news, earn points.

The activities you were doing for free, on a platform that was profiting from your attention, now generate something that comes back to you.

Those points convert to real money, deposited into your account, for behavior you were already doing.

There is no complicated new habit to build. No survey to fill out for twelve minutes in exchange for forty cents. No referral ladder you have to climb. You use your phone already. Your phone pays you.

You are going to use your phone today regardless. You are going to listen to something, play something, read something, charge it at least once. Mode Mobile is the first platform that actually gives some of that value back to you instead of keeping it all for itself.
