As we all know, the prices of just about EVERYTHING are increasing. Here are a few ways you can make some quick money. NOW when I say quick, I don’t mean FAST. It will take a few moments of your time but it will be worth it! These are some good ideas for your children, yourself, and your friends and family. I have been testing these methods over time to avoid scams. They have been proven to be effective.

When I say spending money, of course, it won’t be thousands of dollars, but if you need lunch money or gas, this is the way to go. This list is not in order meaning that the top choice is my favorite (This is done intentionally), but I use them all at different times.

1. Inbox Dollars

A few years ago, I was a stay-at-home mom. I loved it but I needed something to do so I decided to start doing research on various topics. That’s how I stumbled across Inbox Dollars. You can earn money using this website in many ways some of these include:

• Downloading the app from the Play Store
• Completing offers
• Taking Surveys
• Watching videos
• Shopping
• Uploading receipts
• Playing games
• Searching the web
• Referring friends and more

Once you reach the $10.00 threshold you can request a PayPal deposit. You can also redeem your rewards for gift cards or request a check in the mail. Here is my actual account balance. I don’t use this site as often but I do try to visit every once in a while to earn a few cents just because.

2. Swagbucks:

Swagbucks is another site I use to earn a few bucks. I came across this site while doing my research, and I found out that it actually works and does pay out. You can earn money on this site by doing any of the following:

• Answering questions and taking polls
• Taking Surveys
• Completing offers
• Playing games
• Shopping
• Watching videos
• Referring to friends and more

You can redeem your rewards for gift cards and PayPal deposits if you have a PayPal account. If you don’t already have a PayPal account head on over and create one!

3. Current Streaming App:

Normally I listen to the Pandora streaming app for my music. I had tons of radios saved and subscribed to the premium services but I listened to them for so long that I needed a change. Then I came across Current Radio. Let’s be clear I wasn’t looking to be compensated for listening to the radio but I was like “Hey let’s do this!” It takes a while to accumulate points depending on the reward you want but you can earn points by one of these options:

• Listening to the radio
• Completing the featured offers
• Taking Surveys
• Playing games
• Location check-ins

You can redeem your reward points to get gift cards the featured items, or through PayPal direct deposits. Below are the actual rewards I received using this app.

4. Survey Junkie:

Survey Junkie is a website where you earn points for taking surveys. That’s it! Most of the surveys are not too long but I will say that it is hard to be accepted for surveys on the site. It tends to have some surveys fill up quickly so you have to stay on top of this account. I try to take a few every now and then when I have time but I have to do better! Here are the rewards that I earned using this site.

You can redeem your points With electronic gift cards, PayPal deposits, or electronic bank transfers.

5. Lucky Money:

Lucky Money is an app that I was skeptical about at first. It’s an app where you scratch tickets to earn coins or real money. NOW I will say that this app does pay but it has changed over the last few months. Initially, it stated that you can earn CASH, but it takes a while before you reach the $100.00 payout threshold for actual money. (I still need a nickel to get the $100.00) I’m currently still using this app just because it is a good way to pass the time and those dollars add up!

You earn money using this app by completing offers or scratching the tickets every day. Below are the rewards I earned using this app.

These are just a few companies that I myself have tested and actually received rewards for. I have a few others that I don’t necessarily use much to know if they are legit but plan on doing so and keeping you all posted so stay tuned. Feel free to browse the sites and start earning some coins! Take the money and run. Just kidding. You are very welcome.
