Gigwalk: Do Gigs for Cash

Do you have an iPhone in your possession? Great! You are now qualified to be a Gigwalker. Huh? Yeah, that's what I said.

Gigwalk is a site that allows you to earn money doing gigs while you are out and about with your iPhone in hand. The tasks can be anything from verifying a road sign to trying on a pair of jeans. As long as you can verify your findings with a picture and report you can earn anywhere from $1 to $50+! Just download the Gigwalk app and you are ready to roll.

I can't wait to upgrade my awful and useless Blackberry to an iPhone. Unfortunately, those contracts....but that's another post!

Survey Savvy: Make Money Taking Surveys

Nowadays, every extra dollar helps. I have scoured the internet and have success with several paid online survey sites. Survey Savvy provides incentives for your feedback if you qualify and complete the surveys that are e-mailed to you. Each survey can pay anywhere from $1 to $5 or more depending upon the complexity and length of the survey. Some surveys can take approximately 10 minutes to complete while lengthier surveys can take up to an hour or more.

When you have successfully completed the survey, your account will be accredited the dollar amount specified. You can request payment at any time with a minimum $1 payout. Processing of payment will take 4 to 6 weeks and a check will be mailed to you. Direct deposits are not available at this time.

You can also receive incentives for referrals. You will be provided with a unique referral link that you can use to recruit new members.

Keep in mind that a 1099 tax form will be issued to you only if you exceed $600 for the year. Your social security number is requested for this reason.

I am requested a check for the surveys I have completed. It does add up quickly. I have accrued $41 and hope to get a check in the mail soon! Sign up and start earning.

Fiverr: What Will You Do For $5?

Fiverr is a site that lets you purchase or offer a service or gig for a base price of $5. Once you successfully complete a gig, you will receive $4 while Fiverr receives $1.

As always, read the terms of service before you register with the site.

Inbox Dollars: Make Money Reading Emails

Inbox Dollars is a free online rewards site that pays you to participate in various activities. I have been a member for several years and have received almost $200 in cash.

Although reading emails is the primary way to earn rewards at $0.02 per email, Inbox Dollars also offers other money making incentives:

1. Sign Up. When you sign up with Inbox Dollars, you will immediately receive $5 in your account.
2. Download the Inbox Dollars Toolbar. You will receive $1 for downloading and installing the free Inbox Dollars Toolbar to track your earnings and stay informed of any new paid email and survey alerts.
3. Search the Internet. Using the Inbox Dollars Toolbar, you can search the Internet and earn money for your activity. You can earn $0.1 for every qualified search, but you are limited to a maximum of 5 searches per day or $0.05 a day.
4. Read Paid Emails. Again, reading paid emails is the easiest way to earn money on this site. You will receive emails that will require you to click on the link provided. Once you have viewed the advertisement or site, your Inbox Dollars account will be credited with $0.02.
5. Take Paid Surveys. Paid surveys are offered on a daily basis and you can earn $0.50 per survey when you log into your account (limit one survey per day, per category). You will also receive emails for paid surveys that offer incentives anywhere from $0.50 to $1.50 or more per survey. However, be aware that you do need to qualify to take these surveys which is frustrating at times. You can spend a minute or two on a survey to find that you do not qualify for payment.
6. Cash Offers. Receive cash for applying for offers listed. Many of these offers require that you click through a link and register for other products or programs. Make sure that they are free programs before applying.
7. Play Games. Although this sounds enticing, I do not recommend this program. Playing games online for money is a form of gambling and you will be required to pay any local, state and federal taxes on any earnings. You may also be required to pay for any fees associated with the site. Be sure to read the policies and terms of agreement before heading down this path.
8. Shop Online. If you frequently shop online, you can easily earn cash by clicking on popular store links on the Inbox Dollars site. Shop at stores such as Sears, Target, Barnes & Noble and iTunes to earn 0.75% to 20% cash back on your purchases.
9. Print and Redeem Grocery Coupons. Print grocery coupons from the Inbox Dollars website and earn $0.10 for each coupon redeemed.
10. Watch Short Video Clips. You can earn about $0.02 per short advertisement video clip you watch. First, take a quick survey and then watch the video clips. Yes, you must watch the videos! A series of two numbers will scroll across the screen so that you can enter these numbers at the end of the video in order to receive the cash. You will also be offered a discount at the end of the session.
11. Cash Tasks. Cash Tasks offers you the opportunity to earn money doing short tasks such as researching information on the Internet. Compensation will vary with the task.
12. Refer Your Friends and Family. Once you have an account established, you can earn 10% of the qualified earnings received by your referrals.

Just remember, this is not a get rich quick site. It does take time to accrue the minimum cashout value of $30, but again, it's free money! You may also want to set up an email for any paid survey and email sites as a precaution against receiving spam.

If this program is of interest to you, you may also want to sign up with Send Earnings which is close to being the same program as Inbox Dollars.
