Get Cash from Class Action Lawsuits
You can get free money from
the hundreds and thousands of class action lawsuits that are brought on
companies every year.
But how do you find these
lawsuits, and what if you don’t even have a proof that you have used the said
company’s product or service which qualifies you for the settlement?
Good news is that there are
sites out there dedicated to listing all the class action lawsuits that are
still open.
Sites to Use:
Participate in Mock Trials
There are websites that
conduct mock trials on behalf of their clients, which are mostly lawyers. These
lawyers want to know how their case is going to go in the real trial. So, to
get a sense for it, and adjust their strategy accordingly, they use mock
trial sites to present their case
in front of an online jury. You can get paid to become a jury in such trials.

Work as a Virtual Assistant

Telecommute
Despite the fancy name,
telecommuting is as simple as it comes. A telecommuter is simply someone who
does what would be done in a normal office job, but they do it from home.
It can be in a variety of
industries, advertising or administration or anything else.
What jobs can be done via
telecommuting are more about what companies are offering telecommuting jobs
than about what can be done at a distance.

Get Paid for Expert Advice
Are you someone with a high
level of knowledge about a certain topic?
There are a variety of
websites that are willing to pay you for your expertise.
The general format is that a
question will be posed to an expert, and you’ll provide your answer. If the asker
approves your answer, they’ll pay out, and the site will give you your cut
after intermediary fees.
You could be looking at
making $10-$20 per accepted answer, so the money can definitely add up.
Write an e-Book
Lots of people have begun
putting out e-books for supplemental income (or in cases of great success,

Get Into Micro Freelancing
Although micro freelancing is
a form of freelancing, I wanted to give it its own section since it has been

that tasks are normally very small and easy to complete. Accordingly, the pay
of course is lower as well.

Review/Beta Test Software
There are websites that are
looking for people to give feedback on products, usually before they are
finalized. A site like SoftwareJudge
will pay you to test software and then respond with a survey or written
feedback about what you experienced.
If you’re looking for
something more in the way of Beta Testing, you can check out Erli Bird, a website that asks you to record
your session with software and then submit a written request. Sometimes you
will be invited to betas for things like MMOs
(online video games,) and they will ask you to provide feedback.
These things will usually
offer something like $10 per opportunity, which isn’t bad considering it’s only
30 minutes or an hour of work.

one you’re most likely to find opportunities for is a form of affiliate

get paid per person who installs it. That’s option one. Option two is helping
people who don’t understand computers very well to install software.

Some more possible way to make money
online
Swagbucks - From watching videos to taking online surveys to playing games, Swagbucks offers
many different ways to have fun and put cash in your pocket at the same time.
Overall, you can regularly earn $25-$100 per month on Swagbucks just for doing the things you
are already doing online. Swagbucks
comes first on this list. They also
offer cashback shopping in the form of SB points that you can redeem for Free gift cards to places like Amazon,
Walmart, and Paypal.
BestMark - BestMark is a
mystery shopping job. You’ll get paid to shop at different places and review
the experience. A lot of it will be things like general car maintenance that
you’ll already be doing. Not only will they pay you to do it, they will
reimburse the cost of the service.
UserTesting- This website is a lot of fun. After you sign up and complete the
test video, you will start to receive email notifications when new website
tests are available. They will give you a few tasks to accomplish on a website,
while you record your screen and voice the whole time. You get paid for each
website you evaluate. It usually takes about 15-20 minutes, and the pay is
generally $10-$15 per website.
Perk - Perk is
growing rapidly and constantly adding new ways to make money. You can download
one of their many apps, including their popular Perk TV.
Now they even have an app that actually pays you to watch TV in your home.
TopCashBack - This
website is unique in that it gives you 100% commission when you shop
through them. They don’t take a cut. They’re able to do this by allowing
businesses to be featured on their homepage. In other words, they are paid by
the advertisers, which works out in your favor.
Zoombucks - Another website that pays you to watch videos, but they also pay for
contests, completing offers, playing games, and much more. Zoombucks will keep you busy earning
money.
FushionCash - FushionCash pays you to
watch videos, among other things. They’ll even pay you to listen to the radio
through a third-party service calledRadioLoyalty.
CashCrate - Watching
videos, shopping, playing games, winning contests, trying products these are
just some of the ways CashCrate
pays. That would explain why they are so popular.
Chapter 10
Money
offering sites for various activities
InboxDollars - Get paid
to watch videos, play games, and shop, among other things. I’ve used InboxDollars for
a few years now, and while it won’t make you rich, it will provide you with
some extra cash.
MyGiftCardsPlus - This
website offers competitive cashback rates for gift cards to different
stores, and they are powered by Swagbucks, which means they are another way to earn SB
points while getting cashback.
SendEarnings - SendEarnings will pay you to watch videos,
play games and even shop at different stores to buy the things you’re already
buying. That’s just the beginning when it comes to what they will pay you for.
Fat
Wallet - Another great cashback website to
use for comparison when shopping. Browse around to see who offers the most
cashback for what you’re buying and earn that money.
MyPoints - MyPoints will
pay you for watching videos and playing games, like many of the other websites
here, but their main thing is cashback on popular websites like Amazon and
Groupon.
MemoLink - MemoLink also pays
for various things, but first and foremost, they are a cashback website. You
can shop at all kinds of online retailers though them.
Extrabux - Up to 30% cashback
at over 2,000 different stores! You will definitely be able to find a retailer
to shop with and get cashback through Extrabux.
ShopAtHome - This is a
cashback website that seems to focus on popular brick and mortar stores like
Walmart, Target, Sears, and Macy’s. However, they do offer cashback at
more stores and websites, so they’re good for comparing with other
websites.
MainStreetSHARES - Formerly BigCrumbs, MainStreetSHARES is cashback
shopping with an investing twist. You receive cashback by shopping at online
stores, but you also have the ability to earn virtual shares (similar to stock
shares) as part of their profit sharing program. This is truly unique.
Mr.Rebates - This is another great cashback website with most of the major
stores to choose from. They offer up to 30% cashback on a few stores, but
5% is standard to see for many of the retailer websites they offer.
SecondToNone - This is
another mystery shopper website like BestMark,
but the shops are different. BestMark seems to focus more on auto-related purchases,
while Second to None focuses more on smaller shops. One of their
biggest assignments right now involves compliance on alcohol and tobacco
products at select stores. Occasionally, there could be an important
assignment (depending on your location) that could pay close to $100 for a
few minutes of work.
BeFrugal - Most of
the cashback websites offer a $3 or $5 bonus for signing up BeFrugal offers
a $10 signup bonus. They offer up to 30% cashback on select stores, and up to
10% cashback on Amazon.
Ibotta - Cashback at all of the major departments stores, electronics
stores, and even movie theatres. The app makes it easy to use right on
your phone.
CouponCactus - Yet
another great cashback website that makes it really simple for you to find
your cashback coupon and go shopping. Coupon
Cactus is also great for
saving money in other ways. Browse around their website to figure out all of
the ways you can earn and save.
IntelliShop - IntelliShop is a great
mystery shopper website, and it’s easy to sign up and get started. They offer
many different types of mystery shopping opportunities from all kinds of
different businesses.
SinclairCustomerMetrics - This is another great mystery shopping website. They offer fun ways
to shop, evaluate companies, and earn money while doing it.
Market
Force - Market
Force is a great mystery shopping company. I like that they not only
have plenty of stores to mystery shop at, but you’ll also get paid to eat!
Market Force seems to have more restaurants to shop at than the other mystery
shopping companies.
InstaGC - You’ll get paid to watch videos, listen to music, shop, and do
several other things. They also have very low minimum cash out—you can get paid
after earning a single dollar.
Analysia - This is
same concept as User Testing. Each test takes about 10-15 minutes and pays $10.
Analysia works the same way as
User Testing—they will email you when a test becomes available.
StartUpLift - Just like the two websites above, StartUpLift pays you to answer questions about different
websites. The questions vary depending on what the specific client wants, but
each one pays a flat $5.
TryMyUI - This
website pays $10 for 15-20 minutes of website evaluation. You’ll visit the
website, and then provide feedback on different aspects that the client is
looking for.
Enroll - These
tests fluctuate a little more than the other websites, as far as tasks to
complete and pay-per-test, but Enroll is another great option to sign up for and await
emails telling you when tests are available.

Baby sit
https://www.care.com/ - is one of the top sites to consider putting a profile. From
once-in-a-while opportunities to full-time au pairs and nanny positions Care.com is where
many people look for trustworthy sitters. We used Care.com to find a nanny for
when our twins were born and to find many babysitters over the years.

needs a sitter in a hurry SeekingSitters will start calling
their pool of applicants to find someone that’s available. We’ve used SeekingSitters many times
and have always been pleased with the quality of the workers.
Night nanny
Many people have not even
heard of the night nanny. They are angels
from heaven who provide parents of newborns a good night’s sleep. Night nannies
are basically night time babysitters that show up late at night and watch your
kids until the morning.

Deliver food
https://www.doordash.com/dasher/signup/ - DoorDash is the Uber of
food. You sign up to become a Dasher, and instead of driving people around you
pick up to-go orders at restaurants and deliver food.
DoorDash is currently in
big cities only but if you need a flexible schedule and quick cash this week,
delivering food is pretty easy.
You may have heard you can earn an extra $1,000 a
month delivering pizza. The reality is with tips you can average about $10 an
hour. So you would have to work 25 hours a week to make $1,000, and that’s
before taxes. Still, it’s an easy job to find.
Substitute teach
Depending on the
location substitute teaching can earn you $100 a day depending on the position, and if
you’re a professional teacher or a classroom assistant.

will be required.

out your place. Sometimes you might get $30/night for your couch

Rent your sports equipment
https://www.spinlister.com/ -
With Spinlister you make money by renting
out your bike, surfboard, or snowboard. I was quite surprised when I pulled
up Spinlister to see dozens of
bikes for rent in our area. If you’re visiting a city and want to rent a bike
or snow gear for the day, it’s the perfect option.
Baby gear
If you’ve ever traveled with kids, you know packing
takes an extra ½ day. And the amount of baby gear you
have to haul to the airport can make it seem like you need a second vehicle
just for luggage.
Now you can use the goBaby app to hook you up with parents at your destination who will be glad to
rent you just what you need.
Sell breast milk
http://www.onlythebreast.com/ - Some new moms can’t
produce enough (or any) breast milk for their newborns. Instead of buying
formula they prefer to purchase breast milk from other new mom’s. Many doctors recommend breastfeeding as
the preferred way to give nutrients to a baby over formula. It’s natural,
easier to digest, and unprocessed.
Breastmilk can be bought and
sold online through OnlyTheBreast. It’s referred to as liquid gold and can fetch anywhere from $1.00
to $2.50 an ounce. If a baby consumes 20 ounces of breast milk a day for six
months, you can make a lot of money. 20 ounces X $2.00/ounce X 180 days = $7,200.
http://www.mothersmilk.coop/become_a_donor - Pays you
$1 / ounce to be a milk dono

EyeEm: if Instagram and Alamy
had a love child, this is what it would look like. EyeEm is a photo
sharing site but, if you want to earn more than ‘likes’, you can
also pimp your images through the marketplace. EyeEm split
every sale with you 50/50, with photos selling from $20-$250.
Dreamstime offer up to 60% for
exclusives. How much your photo sells for also goes up the more it’s
downloaded: newbie images start at between $0.34 and $2.38 (USD). If you’re
shooting on a phone, start with the free Dreamstime app (Android, iPhone).
iStock hands over 15% of an

(USD) per sale on the most common subscription plans, but say you’ll get a
bigger cut as your lifetime earnings pass various levels. To put that into
context, once you’ve earned $10,000, you’ll be bumped up to the
