How to Make Easy Money Online Via Surveys, Shopping, Referrals
For SAHMs (Stay At Home Moms) or women who work from home, there are lots of opportunities to bring in extra cash online, from blogging to selling handmade items on Etsy. One easy way to boost your income is to use your social network to your advantage, referring friends to fill out surveys and shop as you do the same. If you refer enough people, you’ll find you pull in checks without having to do any of the actual work yourself!
CashCrate is my favorite way to make quick cash online, because how much you make is really up to you. It’s totally tedious, but making $20 or more a month is really easy. A little more invested time could easily double, triple, etc. that amount, and the more people you refer, the more you’ll rake in without even having to log into the site. The payout threshold is just $20, meaning that is all you have to make to request payment. The only downside to this site is that you will get swarmed with emails after signing up and filling out surveys, so I suggest setting up a free email account with Yahoo or Hotmail as your junk inbox.
When it comes to actually filling out surveys and such on CashCrate, use common sense – I have never had a problem with any security or privacy issues. You can ask to only be shown 100% Free offers, as there are tons of basic surveys you can get paid to fill out. You can also click Go Shopping to see which retailers will reward you for shopping – they might be places you are already spending money, so might as well get some of that cash back!
Inbox Dollars doesn’t spam you nearly as much as CashCrate, and you do have to click within emails to confirm receiving them, so it’s up to you whether you use a junk account or your primary email address. The payout threshold here is $30, and there is an automatic $5 credited to your account just for signing up. The friend who referred me just got a check for $200.
Ideeli isn’t set up to make money, but it does give you a kickback when your friends shop! The site offers designer clothes and accessories at discount prices in short online sales that last from a few hours to a few days each. I ordered some luxe lace-up Matisse Henna Gladiator Sandals
Similarly, Beyond the Rack will give you a $10 shopping credit for referrals. Their sales run a bit cheaper, so it pays off.
