In this promotional YouTube monologue, Dan Novaes explains Mode Mobile’s “Earn Phone,” a smartphone that generates income for users through an ad‑supported operating system called MoShare. The phone rewards everyday actions—listening to music, playing games, browsing, reading news, even charging the device—with points that convert into real dollars, allowing users to earn thousands annually. Novaes highlights the business model: brands pay to reach users, and the revenue is shared back to the device owner, positioning the user as a partner rather than a customer. He cites scale metrics—over 50 million sign‑ups, more than $1 billion in user earnings and savings, 2 million five‑star reviews, and $70 million in venture funding—to argue that Mode Mobile has created a new “earn phone” category where the device is an income stream instead of a cost.

This company figured out how to make your phone pay you. Over 50 million people have signed up. Phone companies cost you money. You buy it and you pay the bill. You scroll. That's it. And Mode Mobile fit the entire model. They built a phone specifically called an Earn Phone, an operating system that pays you for the things you already do. Listen to music, play games, charge your phone, browse the web, read the news. Every action earns you points. Those points turn into real dollars and people can earn thousands of dollars a year. And here's what makes it smart. They're not losing money paying you. They built an ad-supported ecosystem where brands pay to reach you and MoShare shares that revenue back to the user. You are not the customer and you are the partner. Over $1 billion in earnings and savings by users so far, over 2 million 5-star reviews, and they've raised over $70 million from investors. They didn't just build a phone, they built a new category— the earn phone, where the device isn't a cost, it's an income stream. Your phone is already the most used object in your life. Mo just made it more valuable.
