Humble Bundle

WHAT IS HUMBLE BUNDLE?

Humble Bundle launched in 2010 sells games, ebooks, software, and other digital content. Our mission is to support charity while providing awesome content to customers at great prices. We launched in 2010 with a single two-week Humble Indie Bundle, but we have humbly grown into a store full of games and bundles, a gaming membership service, a game publisher, and more.

What is Humble Bundle and what does it offer?

Humble Bundle, in reality, is actually an online store that sells games, eBooks, software, and other digital content. But, it also offers ways for you to receive rewards once you become a member.

Option 1 – Deals

Deals aren't earning opportunities per se, but the deals they offer will allow you to save a significant amount of money.

And as the saying goes, “Money saved is money earned.” So, in essence, you are really earning money.

When you log in to their dashboard, you will be given access to special deals that offer up to 75% discount, which, in my opinion, is actually pretty high.

Most of the deals you can find are for video games.

So, if you want to try out a video game, Humble Bundle is actually a good place to do it because you can save a significant amount.

The good thing is, they have a pretty good number of games available.

Just don't expect to see the latest and most hyped games on their catalog because those games almost always never get discounted in the first place.

Option 2 – Humble Monthly

Humble Monthly is their monthly subscription offer. This offer doesn't really allow you to earn anything but it does have some interesting benefits.

When you subscribe to Humble Monthly, Humble Bundle will curate over 10 plus games every month that you can choose from.

You then get to keep 9 of them forever. In other words, if you subscribe to Humble Monthly, you get 9 free games every month.

Plus, 5% of your subscription cost will also be donated to a charity affiliated with Humble Bundle.

So, not only are you getting free video games, you are actually donating to charity (albeit it's a small amount only)

Option 3 – Missions

Missions are like small tasks you can do to earn rewards. Think of it as a sort of bonus for spending your money in their store.

Missions aren't always available and most missions will almost always ask you to purchase something from their shop in order to get rewards. For example, if you spend $50 on the Humble Store, you will receive a coupon worth $5.

You can then use the coupon for your next purchase. As mentioned, missions have a set duration. So, make sure to take advantage of the missions when they are available.

Option 4 – Referral Program

You will also be able to invite people to join the site and receive a reward in return. Their referral program is structured so that each referral you make will earn you rewards.

All you have to do is share your unique referral link with friends via e-mail, Twitter or Facebook.

You will then receive $8 worth of credit for every new subscriber you refer that will subscribe to Humble Monthly. You can use the credits for purchasing digital content in the store.

You can only have a maximum of 30 referrals, so make sure to choose which people to invite. Make sure you invite those who are really interested in subscribing to Humble Monthly.

How do you get paid?

Humble Bundle doesn't use a point system for their rewards.

Every reward you will receive will be in the form of a specific dollar amount. The amount you will receive will then be credited to your Humble Wallet.

You can then use the amount you've accumulated for purchases you make on their store.

It's actually a very uncomplicated way of providing rewards. You don't even have to reach a threshold in order to start spending credits from your Humble wallet.

Plus, as you can see in the photo above, you can also add funds to your wallet for purchases you want to make. You can add funds using your credit card, PayPal or through Amazon.

Even though its payment system is very simple, there is just one glaring drawback with how their system works.

That is, you won't be able to earn without spending your own money. Humble Bundle, in essence, is really just a cashback site.

How much money can you make?

Technically speaking, you won't be making money on this site. Instead, you will be saving money. But that is only if you purchase in their store.

So, the main factors to consider on how much money you will be able to save when you become a member of Humble Bundle will be the availability of deals and the discount percentage offered.

As mentioned previously, discounts can reach up to 75%. That's a very significant price drop.

The only problem is, games with this kind of price drop are pretty old. That's probably the reason why it has a very huge price drop, in my opinion.

So, if you really aren't interested in old games, this site won't really be very advantageous for you. Plus, if you were hoping to get a discounted price from new and hyped games, you won't get it from this site.

What I can say though is, they do have a decent number of games available. So, you might find something you like. Just don't expect a lot from it.

Can you use it on mobile?

Humble Bundle doesn't have a standalone mobile app you can install on your mobile device. However, you will be able to access their site using your mobile device.

And the good thing is, their site is mobile-friendly. So, you won't have a hard time navigating through the site.

The only benefit I can really see on accessing Humble Bundle on a mobile device though is, you can have access to new deals a lot faster.

That's because you won't have to sit in front of a computer to open their dashboard.

Simply grab your mobile device and log in. But if that doesn't bother you, then there is really no point in using a mobile device for Humble Bundle, in my opinion.

Who can join Humble Bundle?

The best quality that Humble Bundle has, in my opinion, is that it is available globally.

That means you will be able to register and become a member regardless of where you live. You just have to be at least 13 years of age in order to sign up.

To become a member, all you have to do is go through the registration process, which is pretty easy.

In fact, you can just sign up using your Facebook or Google account. You can also provide your own email address and password for the sign-up process.

Once you've finished the sign-up form, the next thing you have to do is verify your membership.

Just check your email and click the verification link and you are good to go. That's how easy it is to sign up.
