While you won’t get rich doing this, to me it seems like a great way
for internet-lovers to make some money. Find out more in our Swagbucks review or get started here.
It is a great user experience and really just a nice site.
In order to try them out you need to sign up here first and then they will send you a link for the app.
And here are a few other options if you’re wanting to do some surveys:
Well, they pay you to scan your grocery purchases with their Smartphone App.
Basically, as a member of NCP you help manufacturers and retailers make decisions on what products to develop or improve.
InboxDollars (for U.S. only) allows you to earn money for watching videos from their website.
You can sign up for FREE (and get your $5 bonus) here.
Ok here is a simple business idea for you.
Start by downloading the BookScouter app on your phone or going to BookScouter.com.
Go visit garage sales or thrift shops and scan the used book sections to find books that you can sell for higher prices.
Many thrift stores sell all their books for 50 cents or less and some of those books are worth a whole lot more.
As you can see in the image to the right, you just scan the barcode with your phone (or enter the ISBN #) and then the app provides the prices that a bunch of book buyback sites are willing to pay for that particular book.
In this case, we can make $3.60 selling this Dave Ramsey book. If I can buy it for 50 cents, then that sounds like a nice profit.
Most of the sites offer free shipping as well, so you don’t even have to pay shipping.
I tried my hand at it using Project Payday and their training materials to see that it was legit.
Basically companies are willing to pay you to do trial offers for their products. They know that many people who do the trial offer will like their product and continue to be customers, so they are willing to pay people to sign up for trial offers.
So one of the main ways of making money freebie trading is signing up for offers like a Free Netflix trial, emusic.com, applying for a Discover Card, etc. The key to success seems to be having a calendar where you can keep track of when the trial periods end and make sure to cancel before they end.
If you are interested in learning more I definitely recommend Project Payday as they have a ton of training guides (free if you complete a couple offers) that will greatly simplify the process. But be warned that in order to succeed with this you have to be VERY detail oriented and organized, if you aren’t I wouldn’t try it.
This is where Usertesting.com comes in. You sign up for free and then answer questions about a particular website, explaining what is good or bad, confusing or clear, etc. and then you get paid.
You have to be accepted into the program and must be 18+, but the payouts are pretty good! Their current payouts are $10-$15 per test and the tests normally take about 20 minutes.
I found the video below from a tester explaining how it works.
I have been using them for many years for all of my online purchases.
Basically it works like this…
You visit Ebates.com, then click a link to your favorite online store (they have over 1200 stores like Target, Kohls, Walmart, etc) and make your purchase like normal.
They will then will be paid a referral fee by that retailer and will share the earnings with you. They pay you a percentage (1%-25%) of the purchase price back.
It is completely free to and they even give you a free $5 gift card for signing up. For more info read my review (what is Ebates?)

And here are a few other options if you’re wanting to do some surveys:
3Start making money scanning your groceries

For more info, you can check out their website or sign up here.
4Get paid to watch videos?
How many online videos do you watch each day? What if you were getting paid for watching them?
InboxDollars (for U.S. only) allows you to earn money for watching videos from their website.
So, what’s the catch?
Each video has ads. So in exchange for watching the ads, they can afford to pay us for it.
I tried it out and it definitely isn’t something that will
replace your day-job, but if you love watching videos why not get paid
something for it!
And right now you can instantly get a $5 bonus just for confirming your email address after signing up.
After signing up, just click “More” in the navigation bar, and then click “Radio” like in the image above.You can sign up for FREE (and get your $5 bonus) here.

6Freebie Trading
A couple years ago I did an interview with a guy who made $28,000 in one year doing this part time. It is work and requires organization skills to do it well, but it is legit.I tried my hand at it using Project Payday and their training materials to see that it was legit.
Basically companies are willing to pay you to do trial offers for their products. They know that many people who do the trial offer will like their product and continue to be customers, so they are willing to pay people to sign up for trial offers.
