Making Money Online

Making Money Online

So you want to get rich quick online...well I have bad news...it ain't gonna happen...unless you create the new amazon or twitter...getting rich online is difficult.  (Now if you do figure out a way to make a million quickly online, feel free to post it here, call, email me, send a telegram, morse code, telepathy, whatever) There is nothing quick about it.  However, if you want to make extra money online, it is definitely possible!

Since the birth of my child, my mobility is seriously limited...and yet I have a shopping addiction that just wont quit.  So to make some extra money. I started researching various ways to do it (*for free*).

My favorite way is sponsored tweets.  Yes you can get paid to tweet!

How it works is, depending on the amount of followers you have, you set your price per tweet (if you do not know what to charge Sponsored Tweets will make a suggestion for you), and advertisers will start offering you your price to tweet about a product, event, or promotion.  As soon as you tweet it, you will be paid!  It is really that simple. You can cash out as soon as your account reaches $25.

 So if you are a tweeter and have a decent following, sign up here!  (or paste http://spon.tw/r8wuE in your browser) It is totally free to sign up.  However, if you do "go pro" it is only $1.99/month and you get way more opportunities.  And you will be in good company; Khloe Kardashian, Marlon Wayans, Jennifer Williams, the Fat Boys and the pretty chick from Real Housewives from New Jersey are some of the many that are getting paid for tweets.  Happy tweeting!


 The next option, is paid surveys and market research panels.  Now just a rule of thumb, you may see survey sites that say $500 bucks if you answer the question, do you like Coke or Pepsi?  Usually these are bull@#%&!  What they want you to do is sign up for a whole bunch of spammy sites and buy a few products and even then you are not guaranteed this $500.  SO avoid these at all costs.

With that bit of advice, here are some of my favorite survey sites:

Inbox Dollars: Inbox Dollars isn't just a paid survey site.  You can actually earn cash for taking surveys, taking advantage of deals they have to offer, playing games, using their coupons, using their toolbar, checking email,  referring friends, and doing regular web searches.  It's really that easy.  The minimum cash out is $30 and they will send you a check (which is the only bummer), yet it is relatively easy to reach that $30 thresh hold.  If you sign up today, you get a $5 bonus!  Click here to sign up!


Send Earnings: Send Earnings is exactly like Inbox Dollars.  I mean, EXACTLY like it. You earn cash for taking surveys, taking advantage of deals they have to offer, playing games, using their coupons, checking email,  referring friends, and doing regular web searches.  It's really that easy.  The minimum cash out is $30 and they will send you a check (which is the only bummer), yet it is relatively easy to reach that $30 thresh hold.  Plus I have noticed if you download the Inbox Dollars toolbar and use it for searches, you earn cash on the Send Earnings site as well!  Sign up here!  And like Inbox Dollars, if you sign up today you get a $5 bonus!

SwagBucks: Swagbucks is similar to Inbox Dollars and Send Earnings because it's not just a survey site.  You earn Swagbucks (or points) for taking surveys, searching, watching videos, playing games and taking advantage of offers and deals. You can redeem the points you earn for gift cards in varying denominations, cash (via Paypal) apparel, games, foods, beverages and even travel and hotel vouchers.  To join Swagbucks and start earning points today, sign up here! )or paste swagbucks.com/refer/MochaMango in your browser!

Vindale Research: Vindale Research is basically just a survey site.  However, they do offer a lot of promotions you can get paid for, such as, applying for a credit card, buying a new product, etc.  You also get paid for referring friends.  The minimum cash payout is $50, which is paid via Paypal or check (your choice).  Vindale Research always has a ton promotions (which offer a higher dollar amount) and surveys; so if you're focused you could easily get to your $50 minimum.  Sign up here today and start earning cash!

iPoll:  iPoll is your standard survey site.  When you initially register you take a series of profile questions for minimal cash amounts from 10 to 25 cents.  I suggest you complete the profile questions so iPoll can filter out surveys especially for you.  If you decide not to do the profile surveys you may lose a lot of time (and money) trying to qualify for surveys that are not targeting your demographic!

Most of the surveys offered range between .50 cents to $10 and take between 5-30 minutes to complete.  I joined iPoll on May 24th; didn't do anything with it until June 28th and I am already at $50. (see below)

The minimum payout is $10, however, don't get excited -the $10 minimum gets you qualified for magazine subscriptions.  If you want cash you have to get to $50 before you can cash out via Paypal.  Or you can always donate your earnings to the various charities listed (including Susan G. Komen "Race for the Cure"
 and the American Heart Association. )  Some of the awards at different earning levels include; a subscription to Allure, Forbes, Shape, Mujer, or Elle.  They also offer gift cards to spas, Amazon.com, Nike.com and many more!

Pro's: Easy to use, low payout threshold, great rewards and charities.

Con's: Slow pending time depending on survey, no referral program, and you can't get cash until you earn $50.

Mommy Talk Surveys: Mommy Talk Surveys is very similar to iPoll, except these surveys are targeted to women with children.  They have the same payout levels and same rewards as iPoll, sometimes they even have the same surveys.  However, if you sign up today you get a $5 bonus.  Click here to claim your $5 reward!


Opinion Place: Opinion Place is your standard survey site.  You can earn anywhere from $1 to $20 which

you can redeem for Paypal credits, Amazon gift cards, AAdvantage® Miles, or their sweepstakes.  The cool thing about Opinion Place is, there is no minimum pay out level.  When you complete a survey it gets deposited a few weeks in you Paypal account (I haven't used the Amazon, or frequent flyer miles).  The only drawback is, they only allow you to take one survey a week!  My personal trick is to try to find Opinion Place surveys through iPoll or Mommy Talk Surveys, because you receive the credit through iPoll or Mommy Talk AND get the deposit from Opinion Place.  Talk about maximizing your time!  Sign up today (click here) for Opinion Place. 

Last but definitely not least is 20/20 Research Panel!  20/20 Research is by far my favorite.  Hands down.  Not only do you get paid for your opinion, but you usually get to try new (and free!) stuff.  If you are chosen to take part in a study you usually receive a prepaid Visa card in an amount ranging from $100 to $250.  Now they usually don't allow you to participate in multiple studies at once, however, it never hurts to try!  Sign up here to be a panelist!
