Simple Ways to Earn Cash Online

Its the end of the year once again which means it's holiday time, money is tight, and we're penny pinching between gifts and bills. You add Covid-19, job loss, and quarantines to the picture and I think its safe to say that its been more than a little rough.

We've all been there scrounging the web looking for the best way to make some quick cash, legally. Some panning out to a few dollars and some have actually led you to the awaited jackpot. I had to go through a few failed attempts myself to find the true gems and, wooh, am I glad I did!

These are sites that I am using currently and who have pretty good payouts. There are some that you can do during your free time and some will take up a couple hours of your day but the pay out is beyond worth it! so without further ado lets get started!

1.) Inbox Dollars

This one was one of the last ones I signed up for and I’m a tad bit upset it took me so long to find it.

InboxDollars offers a variety of ways to earn money with surveys, games, web searches, scratch off tickets, and paid advertisements. You can earn up to 20$ a day and you get a 5$ sign up bonus to get you started. Their surveys range from $0.50 to $5.00 and can vary between 3-25 minutes.

Even if you’d rather pass on the surveys there’s still plenty more ways to earn money. Watching advertisements and movie trailers, playing games, and purchasing subscriptions that you were probably already thinking of buying are major ways to receive cash back.

The more active you are on the site the more progress you earn towards receiving a free scratch off ticket. You can win anywhere from $0.05 to $100. The more you do the more scratch off's you can earn.

2.) User Interviews

User interviews has been my most successful avenue of extra income. Instead of filling out surveys for dollars at a time you have the potential to make up to 700$ for an hour of your time.

In the last 30 days I’ve made 350$ on two separate occasions that in all only took 45 minutes of my time. There’s a pre-screen process that you have to go through to make sure you’re a good fit so it may be 4-5 tries before you’re selected but they are short and take less than 5 minutes of your time to fill out.

The first one that I did was watching 3 short 2-minute ads and recording my response to each. It took 10 minutes of my time and they paid me 60$ via PayPal less than 4 hours later.

The second was a focus group via webcam on my laptop; There was a moderator and 3 others on the conference, and we discussed parenting for 30 minutes. That paid 290$ and was also sent via PayPal less than 4 hours later. I had to log in 5 minutes prior for a tech check to make sure video and audio were fine but in all it was less than an hour of my time and I got to discuss something that I talk to my friends about everyday only this time I was paid to do it.

The start-up is quick and easy. You fill out your profile, find a discussion that interests you, complete the pre-screen survey to see if you’re a good fit and wait for the acceptance email with further information.

What I like most is that a lot of these are unmoderated meaning you can complete them on your own time, at your own pace, as long as its done by the due date.

3.) Survey Junkie

Survey Junkie is exactly what its name implies. They offer a multitude of survey's to take with earnings as small as $0.25 and as large as 5$. They do work through a point system so for every 1 point you earn its equivalent to $0.01.

As with any other survey sites you do have to pre-screen the surveys with a few questions to make sure you’re a good fit, but this site is convenient, easy, and worthwhile.

The surveys are clear from the beginning stating how much the survey is worth and how long it will take to complete. I’ve found that the quick 5-minute surveys for 30 points (equivalent to .30 cent) is the best route instead of the 30+ minutes earning only a dollar.

I know some of you are like you’re basically getting paid 2 or 3 dollars an hour but if you allow those points to rack up you could get a couple hundred dollars by the end of the month. I usually do this when I’m waiting in line at the bank, watching TV, or just in free time. You have the ability to make up to $20 a day and the cash out minimum is 500 points ($5).

4.) Vocal.Media

Vocal Media is probably one of the best sites to earn some extra income on if you’re looking for some extra cash and you enjoy writing. Unlike a regular blog where you’re boxed into entertaining the same audience based on your focal points; Vocal Media gives you the advantage to talk about a multitude of topics with a constant audience.

This site has two options to choose from to earn income. You have the option to write on the site for free or you can subscribe to Vocal Plus. If you choose to write on the site for free you will make $3.80 per 1,000 views and you can cash out at $35.

Vocal+ is a subscription set at $9.99 a month and it allows you to make $6.00 per 1,000 views with a $20 cash out minimum. Both options offer Vocal Challenges which offers prizes and sometimes a few thousand dollars for first place winners.

It’s a platform that offers you a way to make passive income doing something that you already love. Like any blog/article type of platform you’re not going to make money immediately and you must build your content up (in other words write as much as possible) in order to earn more reads. The best thing about Vocal is that they do not own any of your content they only have a limited license which means your content is still, well, yours!

Compared to the others this one may take longer to get an income stream, but it has potential to make you more than just a few extra bucks a month. So, if you’re on the fence give it a shot and if you’re already giving it a try, hang in there. It’ll all be worth it in the end.

We all need an extra boost this year so i hope these sites work out for you as much as they've worked out for me, We're all in this together. We beat year 2020 it will not beat us!
