Amazon / Education / MAKE MONEY : PASSIVE INCOME IDEAS & WORK AT HOME
REVIEW
A 2017 listicle wearing an app costume.
Sweezy's Make Money is the kind of Amazon Appstore filler that gets uploaded once and never touched again — a wrapper around generic side-hustle blog text, with a 2.4 rating that flatters it.

The Amazon Appstore is full of these. Type any popular self-help keyword — “passive income,” “keto,” “manifestation,” “stock trading” — into the storefront search and the first page of results is dominated by free apps from publishers you have never heard of, with placeholder package names, stock-photo icons, and content that reads like it was generated by a 2017 SEO mill on its lunch break.
Sweezy’s Make Money is one of these apps. It is not a tool. It is not a course. It is not a community. It is a few thousand words of recycled side-hustle-blog text wrapped in the cheapest possible Android container, uploaded once, and left to collect whatever ad impressions Amazon’s algorithm happens to send its way.
The 2.4-star rating is the kindest thing about this review. The honest version is that this app exists to occupy a search-result slot, not to help anyone make money.
There is no app here. There is a scrolling text file with chapter headings someone copied off a 2017 affiliate-marketing blog.
FEATURES
Make Money is a static text reader. Tap a topic — Fiverr microjobs, blogging, dropshipping, affiliate marketing, "investing in mobile apps" — and you get a few screens of generic prose explaining what each thing is, in the voice of an SEO content mill circa 2017. There are no links to the actual platforms it describes, no calculators, no calendar, no checklist, no income tracker, no community, no progress state. You can scroll. You can tap back. That is the entire surface area.
The app's package identifier — com.example.makemoney.passiveincomeideas — is the giveaway. com.example is the placeholder namespace from Android's official tutorial templates. Shipping a real product under that prefix is the mobile-development equivalent of publishing a website at "yourdomain.com." It tells you everything about how much care the developer put into the launch.
The developer credit is "sweezy," a publisher with dozens of near-identical title-and-icon-swapped apps on the Amazon Appstore covering keto recipes, manifestation tips, and various other topics that perform well in keyword search. The "Education" category placement is generous.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
It opens. It does not crash. The text is in English. For a free app whose entire job is to display static prose, the absence of failure is the only thing to commend.
If a reader has never encountered the words "affiliate marketing" before and somehow has access to an Amazon Fire device but not a web browser, this app technically delivers a definition.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
Everything. The content is generic, undated, and trivially Google-able — every topic covered here is the first hit on any side-hustle blog, written better, updated more recently, and with actual links to the services discussed. There is no original reporting, no current pricing, no platform-specific tactics, no warnings about scams, no acknowledgment that the gig economy looks materially different in 2026 than it did in 2017.
The 2.4-star user rating is the honest signal. Even on the Amazon Appstore — where the rating ceiling on free utility apps is famously generous — actual users have left this below the line where most stores stop surfacing apps in search.
CONCLUSION
Make Money is a placeholder app that someone shipped to test whether keyword-stuffed titles in the Amazon Appstore would generate organic installs. They do, and that is why the app still exists. There is nothing here a five-minute Google search wouldn't deliver more usefully. Skip it and read a real publication — Side Hustle Nation, NerdWallet, or any 2026 personal-finance newsletter — instead.
