Passively Earning during Covid

What a year...huh? Or was it two?

It's been the year to remember or maybe we choose t0 try not to.

Perhaps you're like me and you've seen nothing but "Smart Wallet" or "Nerd Wallet" links on your social media to "make money."Or perhaps you're following Dave Ramsey and getting ideas from him. I can say I have ALL of these and have taken some key ideas from them all...and guess what? I have earned some moo-la ;)

Here's some of my favorite apps! Click on the links to join :)

For Fitness Friends

Dick’s Sporting Goods MOVE-

Earn $10 for every 300 points. Earn 3 points for 3 miles (a day). Or 3 points for 30 minutes of activity, etc. It takes time but hey…$10!

Achievement

Earn points for connecting to your Twitter, Fitbit, Apple Watch, etc. Earn points for inviting people, logging sleep, food, steps, heart rate, you name it! 10,000 equals $10! I’ve earned $10 multiple times!

For the shoppers (like me) 🥰

ibotta- how could you not love it? Earn for just joining and then attach “coupons” for the stores you will shop at and what you will buy! Once you have $20 you can cash out! Oh and they reward you for getting your friends and family hooked on the app!

Rakuten- obviously if you love shopping this is for you! Earn % back on what you buy and get a big fat check with all your earnings! Think- “I’m being rewarded for Christmas shopping!” Invite all your friends too! More friends hooked on, more money!

Fetch Rewards- Scan a receipt and earn points then turn those points into gift cards, gifts, etc. Again, invite friends, get more points, earn more rewards! Use this even at restaurants! I earn a few points for each stop I make for an iced coffee :)

GetUpside- Money back at the gas pump? How can you say no?!? Just claim the reward in the app, pump, scan your receipt and wait for the money to pile up! Once you’ve piled up some cash you can cash out and either have the money directly deposited to your bank account, to your Paypal, or you can choose one of their gift cards to add the money too. Invite your friends and earn even more!

My personal favorite? Be Marie Kondo and clean out your closet! The “clean out” bags from ThredUP are free and you get paid for what people pay for your clothing! Warning- it does take time (thanks Covid) but it’s worth it and if they don’t use the clothes for sale they can take care of them for you. Also, if you don’t want the money…you can donate it! The bonus here is you can also set the pricing of your clothing. Oh and before I forget- you don’t have to pay to ship your clothing to them either! They also take purses, shoes, and baby clothes 12 months and older! Check their website for more details!

If you’re a mom check out, Pampers Club! Everytime you buy Pampers wipes or diapers you have a code on the product. You scan that code and now earn “Pampers Cash” which allows you to use it for other rewards within the app. The rewards include gift cards, coupons, and you can even donate your “cash.”

I’ve used my extra cash to buy household items, fill my gas tank, and most recently it’s all been headed towards student debt and vet bills. Every little bit counts. So why not try it? Click on each of the links to get started and you too can earn money for doing the simplest little tasks!
