Looking for easy and quick ways to make money that actually work?
We've got you covered!
I have compiled a list of money making ideas that you can use to earn an extra $10, $20, $50, or even $100 fast.
Wouldn't it be nice to get paid for doing things you already do online?
Swagbucks pays you for doing what you already do online watching videos, shopping, playing games, signing up for websites, etc.
Earn Free Cash
Try Swagbucks, the famous rewards program that pays you for watching videos, taking surveys, shopping and more.
It is a great way to earn a good amount of income on the side in your free time. You can easily earn an extra $50 a month or so (although there are some people who manage to make way more than $50 a month.)
To increase your earnings, refer your friends and family. You get paid for every person you refer to the site.
By the way, visitors of MoneyPantry get a $5 sign up bonus now.
If you ever asked yourself how to make 50 dollars in an hour , this is how.
This is probably the easiest way for anyone to make quick cash. It is so easy that even a 13-year-old kid can do.
How many old and unused books you have sitting in your basement or bookshelves getting dusty?
Plug them into BookScouter and instantly see who, out of 40 or so book buy back sites, will pay you the most for each one. All it takes is entering your book's ISBN and hitting enter. Click on the highest paying offer, visit the site and request a free prepaid shipping envelope to send your books in. In a few days, you will receive your money.
You can take this one step further and make it a nice side business that earns you extra cash month after month. I wrote a detailed guide on how to buy and sell used books here.
3. Claim your (lost) money
This is probably one of the easiest ways to get some quick cash that actually belongs to you that you may not even know it.
Simply visit Unclaimed. org to check if the state where you have resided holds money that you failed to claim think old paychecks, rebates, refunds, etc.
Five or $5 at least for each task. Tasks like writing a love letter for someone special or for attempting to consume one tablespoon of nutmeg while being filmed.
Advertise and sell your services for $5 or more.
Amazon’s Mechanical Turk is the place where you can earn cash by doing various gigs.
Need Extra Cash for Free?
If you like getting paid for surveys, and are going to join only one site, I would recommend you choose Ipsos-iSay. Ipsos is the most fun and well-paying panel. Give it a try to see how you like it. It is free anyway!
Look and search through somebody else’s website and earn some cash.
You’ll need to determine what part or aspect of the website can be difficult or confusing for the normal user of the website.
Companies like Concepts Consumer Research pay $20 to $1000 for performing product evaluations.
9. Become a Secret shopper
Getting paid for shopping may sound like a scam (and there are mystery shopping scams out there), but it is a legitimate and real industry.
To avoid scams and find legit mystery shopping companies check out North America's Mystery Shopping Providers Association
10. Babysit
Hey, this job isn’t limited to teenagers only. Browse through sites like Sittercity and Care. com to land your baby-sitting job.
11. Petsit
Imagine playing with a puppy or a cat and getting paid for it. Ask within your circles such as your friends and family members to take care of their pets for a fee.
TaskRabbit is the site which hooks you up with those that will shell out money for different chores within your locality.
