#3 Fiverr – Fiverr is a site where you can offer almost any service you can think of starting at $5. No matter what your skillset there’s a chance someone on Fiverr will want what you offer. After you land a few clients and receive high ratings you can then start increasing the price of your service.

# 6 – Become a Website Tester – Did you know that companies will pay you to test their website for usability? You can sign up with a place like UserTesting. com and earn up to $10 for each website you test. Most tests take less than a half an hour to do.
# 7 – Participate in Medical Studies – You can contact the psychology department of your school to see if there are any medical studies you can participate in. This could earn you anywhere from hundreds to thousands.
# 8 – Become a Brand Ambassador – As a brand ambassador you can earn $15-$20 per hour by attending events on behalf of a company and passing out free items from the company. Melanie suggests to start your search by looking up “Brand Ambassadors (In Your City)” on Facebook.
# 9 – Fill Out Online Surveys – Online surveys aren’t going to make you oodles of money. But if you’re looking for something that is really easy, flexible, and won’t eat up much of your time, you may be able to earn a little pocket cash before Christmas rolls around.
Here are some survey sites to check out:
- Survey Junkie One of the best online survey sites that pays for filling out surveys. Harris Poll – This company is run by Neilson, and gives great rewards for filling out surveys. Opinion Outpost – Earn cash for filling out surveys. Survey Spot – Earn cash and rewards for filling out surveys and sharing your opinion. Pinecone – You can earn $3 per survey you complete.
# 10 Search the Web/Read Emails – Two sites that I’ve uses for years to earn extra cash for Christmas are Swagbucks and Inbox Dollars.
Both of these sites will award you points for searching the internet, filling out surveys, playing games and more. Inbox Dollars also has a feature where you can “read” emails for money.
While neither of these sites will make you rich I easily earn a couple hundred from each throughout the year with very minimal effort.
You can sign up for Swagbucks here. And you can get $5 from Inbox Dollars by going through THIS link. (Do note that you need to earn a minimum of $30 with Inbox Dollars to request payment.)
