My Absolute Favorite Online Money Makers!
While you may not become a millionaire or be able to quit your day job tomorrow, these online sites and apps will help you earn a little extra cash for gifts for the holiday season or even yourself! I have tried all of these options below and have heard some people are able to turn them into full time cash. Check them out below:
With ibotta, receipts are like money, where you can earn anywhere from 25 cents to 5 dollars for just 1 item. So far I have earned $45 that I have been able to transfer directly through my Paypal account, just by scanning my receipts after shopping like I normally do! You have to earn $25 to get a payout, but it is super easy and I had my first payout within 9 days! The best way to use ibotta, is through the app on your phone.
I have used both Shutterstock and Pond5 for years, making probably the most money out of all of the sites mentioned, because of the royalty rates. I can earn $25 per sale of my stock video graphics, images and more. This above photo is a screenshot and link to my Pond5 gallery if you want to check it out. Whether you are into photography, video graphics or graphic design, these sites can help you make a little extra cash every month and signing up to sell is free!
I just recently signed up with Zazzle, and while I don't see myself quitting my day job, I do see potential to earn a little extra cash every year. What I have learned from other sellers, is that you would have to have over 1,000 items in your stores to really stand out. Though, with new items added every month, such as cards, bathroom decor ect, it is pretty easy to build a nice, well stocked store. I had designs that were not being utilized on my computer and figured, might as well put them to use so they can make money! This is a good way for graphic designer, photographers and even if you know a little typography, to potentially earn extra cash.
Etsy is a good way to earn money and can definitely become a business for you. I have my Etsy shop set up and selling Popsockets and custom vinyl decals. You can even sell digital products such as printables, illustrations, and fonts if you make them, and never have to set foot in a post office!
Inboxdollars makes it easy to complete surveys, open emails, or shop and earn a little cash back. While it's not much, you can build up cash soon enough. Personally, I use Inboxdollars when I am bored, rummaging through my emails. Might as well earn some money! You earn your first $5 just by signing up. I use a secondary email for my sign up with sites like this to keep it organized.
