Extra Ways to Make Money
Times are crazy, right? Inflation is out of control and has been beginning to get to the point of worry. I over many years have scoured the internet for ways to make extra money. Getting a second job at CVS is always a possibility, you know, but trying to work around commuting times and traffic and primary job hours and home life responsibilities, it’s very hard to fit another job into that. I’ve been there so I have looked for something that I can do casually while watching tv or lounging around the home to make a few extra bucks. Now, let be realistic here, I’m not talking about something that’s going to make you $50 an hour from your phone while your on the toilet for five minutes. Most of what I have found to be reliable is $1-$10.00 for about 30 minutes of activity but not full time potential income. This isn’t going to replace your full time job, this is just a few extra bucks that can add up over time, when you’re bored.
These are all things that I have personally tried, that I find easy and reliable and that I trust.
- Rakuten. You may have heard about this one before, previously called Ebates, now called Rakuten, this is a shopping rewards app/ website. I have been using this for years and years, I’ll admit, sometimes I forget to use it and kick myself, but it is very easy. You either go into the app or go to the website, type in where you’re shopping, and it will direct you to the website. Once you make a purchase, you will get whatever percentage cash back in your account in about 12-24 hours! The percentage changes often! If you have a big purchase, keep watch, and you could get a ton of money back. I made a purchase just last week at a store with 18% cash back for just 24 hours! It really adds up! I have a referral link for you as well that will start you out with a few free buck’s right up front! My referral link is Have you signed up with Rakuten yet? It’s the best site for earning Cash Back. Get a $30 bonus when you sign up with my invite link and spend $30. It’s free! https://www.rakuten.com/r/HALEYR891?eeid=44971
2. Fetch | ibotta | Receipt Hog. These are all essentially the same idea, the cool thing with these apps is that you can get cash back with the same receipt on all of these apps! Again, it’s not a ton of money, but it adds up, it’s easy, and it is money. Personally, I find Fetch to be the easiest and most money back for me. Sign up for Fetch using my code 62ARRA . Ibotta takes more planning and just doesn’t really work well for my lifestyle, but I do use it when I can. Sign up for ibotta using the code pxwrolv. And Reciept Hog is much less cash back but again, it’s simple. I am not sponsored in any way from these apps, but I do have referral codes for each that earn you money.
3. Intellizoom. This website has varying degrees on sucess from what I have seen. I have been using it as consistently as I can for about 3 months, and I make about $100-$150 a month. Intellizoom is a survey website that can be done on a computer or a smartphone depending on the surgery. Different people get different survey opportunities based on their background and it’s not super consistent. Meaning, you don’t get like a guaranteed ten surveys paying $8.00 an hour per day. Somedays I get 4 surveys, some days I get 0. Because of this, I forget to check regularly so I could probably make more money if I was more dedicated. Again, not sponsored.
4. Swagbucks. This seems to be a fan favorite and maybe I just don’t have the hang of it yet, but it’s not my favorite. It seems to be a combination of the above numbers 2 & 3. You can do surveys for points and redeem them, and you can upload receipts as well. My referral link is https://www.swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-register&rb=126183042&cmp=197&cxid=2001-app
