I Want It!

Believe it or not, it is actually possible to make money online legitimately, and in this post, I want to share with you 13 ways to make money online…WITHOUT taking surveys.

There are many scammers and “gurus” out there that promise to help you make 6 figures in no times. But the truth is that is not the case.

Although it’s 100% possible to make money online, it requires you to be dedicated and to take your time to master the different money making methods.

 

1) Blogging

---

Blogging has recently become one of the most talked about ways to make money online, but it’s important to note that you won’t make money immediately with this method.

It requires time, dedication and hard work to start earning a profit.

 

[alert-announce] Do you want to make money online blogging but don’t know how to start?

Then check out my ultimate guide to starting a blog on a budget.

[/alert-announce]

 

There are a number of ways you can make money from a blog, such as:

• Affiliate Marketing

This is one of the most common ways to monetise your blog. Affiliate Marketing allows you to promote products on your blog and earn a commission when your readers make a purchase.

• Adsense/Advertising

You can ads place on your blog and you get to earn money when your readers click on the ads. The most common option to start advertising with is through Adsense. But there are some other options available such as Media.net

• Email Marketing

With email marketing, you need to provide value on your blog and encourage users to sign up to your email list. Then you can start sending emails to your subscribers and use this as a way to promote products/services. But you need to make sure your priority is to provide value, otherwise, your readers will unsubscribe from your list.

• Create an online course

Online courses can be created on sites such as Teachable. You can charge for the course and sell it on your blog.

• Advertise your skills/services

You can provide a page on your blog where you advertise your skills and charge for your services. For example, if you’re really good at Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), then you can advertise your skills and charge a rate for anyone who’s interested.

• Sponsored posts

This is another popular way to monetise your blog. You can reach out to brands within your niche and offer to create a blog post and get paid to publish. It’s also possible for brands to reach out to you for sponsored posts.

2) Affiliate Marketing

---

Affiliate Marketing is a great option for anyone looking to make a genuine income online.

It’s also a good entry point for beginners because it doesn’t require any inventory or high start-up costs. It’s even possible to get started with no money.

There are 4 key steps to Affiliate Marketing:

1) Choose an interest

With Affiliate Marketing you can create a business based on your passions. So have a think about what interests you. A hobby, or something that gets you excited and motivated when you think about it. There are so many different ideas that you could potentially tap into online.

When you choose a passion, success is much more likely to follow

2) Build a website

Nowadays it’s easier than ever to build a website. I personally recommend going self-hosted and owning your own blog. But if you’re completely new to online marketing, and no money, then you may want to get started with a free website.

A website is important because it’s going to be the foundation of your business.

3) Attract visitors

Your goal before you try to earn money with your new website is to focus on getting actual people to visit your website, because, without people, you have no business. Some ways you can attract visitors is through search engines and social media.

4) Earn revenue

Once you’ve got your audience, you can promote products and services through affiliate programs. Because of these programs, you can promote just about anything, and you can earn a commission when your visitor makes a purchase.

 

In my opinion, the best way to apply Affiliate Marketing is through a website/blog. However, you may not want to keep up with the needs of maintaining a website. If that’s the case, it’s still possible to make money with Affiliate Marketing, without a website.

 

[alert-announce]

If you’d like to earn with Affiliate Marketing then be sure to take a look at my #1 recommended training platform for beginners.

It’s 100% FREE to join, and you learn the basics of getting started with affiliate marketing. [/alert-announce]

 

3) eCommerce

---

eCommerce involves selling products online through an online store. These can be physical products or digital products.

There are a number of platforms available that allow you to sell products online.

 

eBay

This is a very popular way that people make money online selling products. It’s easy to get started with eBay, and you can join for free. It’s a great place to sell any used items you have around the house, and you can use this opportunity to learn how the website works. Then you can start to consider purchasing products to resell.

My first experience of eBay was back in 2014, where I sold an official Apple iPad cover. It sold within a few hours, and that was the first time I ever made money online. Soon after I started selling my used items online, then went on to resell products. So this is definitely an option worth considering if you’re looking for legit ways to make money online.

 

Amazon

A similar platform to eBay where you can sell new and used items. I personally think it’s better for selling new items. You can consider setting up a Fulfilled By Amazon (FBA) store.

This is becoming a well-known way to make money online with Amazon. Although I’ve sold on Amazon before I’m not too familiar with setting up an FBA store. If you’re looking for a good beginners guide then I recommend reading this complete guide

 

Etsy

With Etsy, you can earn money online selling handmade items. If you’re really creative and enjoy making arts & crafts, then this may be the perfect option for you. There are users selling anything from Jewellery, to handbags, to WordPress themes, to resume templates.

So it’s possible you’ll find a product you can sell for yourself. Take a look at the site and see what options might fit your expertise.

 

Shopify

The options listed above involve you selling on a third party platform, and paying fees to list your products. However, with Shopify, you get to build your own online store and keep more of the profits.

Shopify offers a 14-day FREE trial, which is a great way to see if your own online store is the best option for you. This platform can also be used to sell digital products.

 

4) Dropshipping

---

Dropshipping is very similar to building an eCommerce store, except the main difference is that you don’t keep any inventory.

The aim of dropshipping is to list your items on an eCommerce platform, then when you make a sale, you purchase the product from your supplier, then the supplier ships the item directly to your buyer. The image below should help make it easier to understand:

Source: www.orbelo.co.uk

Drop shipping can be done on sites such as eBay, Amazon and on your own Shopify store.

With Shopify, you can use a program called Orbelo, which is specifically designed for building a dropshipping business.

They also offer a lot of valuable information on their blog about starting a drop shipping business, finding the best suppliers and choosing what products to dropship. Take a look at some of their guides below:

• The Ultimate Guide to AliExpress Dropshipping
• How To Earn Money From Home: The Dropshipping Way
• Best Dropshipping Products to Sell in Fall 2017

I also recommend that you get access to the FREE online training to help you start a profitable drop shipping store. Additionally, there’s a super helpful course on Udemy, if you’d prefer to start dropshipping on eBay.

Note: There is currently a huge sale on Udemy, so the price you see on the site may be higher or lower at the time you visit.

 

5) Freelancing

---

Freelancing is a good way to make money online using the skills you have. You can pretty much turn any skill you have into a freelancing business. Some popular examples include:

• Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
• Social Media Marketing
• Transcription
• Web Design
• Web Development
• Graphic Design

There are different ways you can promote your freelancing services and earn an income online, such as:

Upwork

This site allows you to search for work in your expertise and reach out to the different clients in order to make a proposal on the job. You should initially work on building your Upwork profile and perfecting it so that it can be approved by the Upwork team. Include all the relevant skills you have, as well as a portfolio of your work to back it up.

Here’s a really good beginners guide which is worth checking out.

 

Fiverr

With this platform, you can list your services as gigs on the site, and buyers will purchase from you. This is an easier platform to get started with because you don’t need to have your account approved, and you can start uploading gigs right away.

When creating gigs, I recommend including as many photos as you can to showcase your skill, and to also include a relevant video to your gig. These things will boost your chance of people purchasing from you.

If you’re new to Fiverr and looking for an in-depth beginner guide, then be sure to take a look at this.

 Create a “Hire Me Page”

Additionally, you can also list on your services on your website by creating a “Hire Me Page”, and get clients to make a booking/get a quote via that page.

 

6) Teach & Sell An Online Course

---

Teaching an online course is another great way to make money using your skills. You can create a course related to your skills and sell them on online teaching platforms.

The sites listed below are great for getting your content seen by thousands of potential students.

Udemy

A very popular marketplace for buying and selling online courses. I’ve purchased a number of courses from this site and if your content is valuable enough, you can potentially make some really good money here.

If you’ve got the skills, then sharing those skill on Udemy is definitely worth considering.

(New customer offer: Get $10 (£10) on all courses for 24 hours when you sign up through this link)

 

Skillshare

As Skillshare is a subscription-based platform, their payment structure works slightly differently to Udemy. Instead of choosing your own prices for each course you upload, you earn royalties based on the number of minutes watched by premium Skillshare members.

You can also earn money by bringing in new premium members to Skillshare. One way to do this is by promoting your course, which will, in turn, promote the Skillshare platform. In order for users to access your course, they would need to sign up as a premium member. Paid memberships are $7/month, with 1 month FREE.

 

Teachable

This allows you to create a course which you can advertise on your blog. You can offer free courses and well as paid courses.

It’s FREE to get started, and there are paid options too if you need to upgrade your account.

When creating your courses you can set your own prices too, and there’s a range of valuable information available on the Teachable blog to help you boost your earning potential.

7) Test Websites/Mobile Apps

---

One of my favourite ways to make money online is by testing out websites and mobile apps. You can get paid $3-$15 to test on any of the websites listed below, and they’re all FREE to join. Most tests will last between 5-20 minutes.

 

Usertesting

This is my main go-to place for testing websites. Tests are quite regular and you can do tests on your desktop, laptop and/or mobile.

You can expect to earn $3-15 depending on the test.

Once you’ve completed a test, you can expect to be paid the following week via Paypal.

 

Whatusersdo

Another popular site for testing websites. You can expect to earn £5 per test and be paid via Paypal

 

Userbrain

I’ve done a few tests on this site and was able to cash out $15 within a few hours. They pay $3 per test, and you need to use your own video recorder to do the tests, as they don’t have their own screen recorder. Most computers/laptops will have a built-in recorder.

 

Ferpection

This site is quite different to other sites I used because you don’t need to record your screen to complete the tests. You just need to snap screenshots of the webpage you’re testing, then provide written feedback.

It’s a french based site, so you can change the text from English to French and vice versa.

You can expect to earn 5-10 euros per test, and once you’ve reached 20 euros you can request a payout. Payment is made via Paypal on the last Friday of each month.

 

Usertest.io

Similar to the site listed above, you can expect to earn £8 ($10) per review.

 

8) Mobile Apps

---

An easy way to earn some extra money online is to make use of mobile apps. I recommend finding a few you like to use the most and use them as often as you can to make the most money.

You’ll find that most of these apps are simple and easy to use, and they don’t require much effort to make money from.

Below is a list of some of the apps I use as well as other popular apps you can earn from (feel free to use my referral codes/links when signing up too, for extra bonuses)

Receipt Hog

This app allows you to earn coins for scanning your grocery receipts. Once you earn a certain number of coins you can convert them into cash, which you can redeem via Paypal.

Here’s my full review + payment proof

 

Perk

This is a popular app which allows you to make money watching videos, completing offers and playing games/quizzes. You can also earn by doing surveys, but since this post isn’t about surveys, then you can avoid this option on the site. You can complete the tasks on your phone through the app, and/or on your desktop.

You earn Perk points, and those points can be converted into cash and/or gift cards. Payments can be made via Paypal. I was able to earn $20 passively just by using the PerkTV part of the app. So if you incorporate all the earning options, you can make more.

Referral code: Enter a1d31fa1 or click this link

 

SlicethePie

This is a site/app that allows you to earn money for reviewing music, fashion and other products. It’s FREE to join and so easy to get started. When starting out don’t expect to earn much per review. I started off earning only $0.08 a review. But once you build your profile you can expect to earn $0.20-0.30 per review and more.

You can also complete reviews on the desktop version.

There are also times when they offer bonuses, which you’ll receive emails for. The review are quick, and don’t require too much effort.

Here’s my full review + payment proof. 

 

Voxpopme

With this app, you get to earn money by answering questions and provide a video response. You can get started right away, and with each response, you can earn from £0.25. Once you reach £10 you can cash out via Paypal.

Just be aware that your video response may be used internally for research and insight, and/or publicly on the web and social media So just make sure you’re happy with that before submitting any responses.

Click here to sign up. (Earn an extra £1 when you sign up through my link)

 

Swagbucks

If you’ve been looking for ways to make money online, you’ve most likely come across Swagbucks. You can earn via your desktop/laptop as well as through the mobile app. It’s similar to Perk because there are multiple ways to earn with this app.

You can complete offers, watch videos, make online purchases for cashback, search online, and play games.

Click here to sign up. (Earn a 500SB points bonus when you sign up through my link. 300SB when you earn your first 300SB, and 200SB when you spend £25 through shop & earn)

 

Google Opinion Rewards

This is another app I use often, and you get to earn Google Play store credits when you complete short surveys. It is only available for Android devices.

Although you don’t get to earn cash, you can earn a decent amount of credits which you can redeem for books, games, music etc, in the Google Play store.

Here’s my full review. 

 

9) Matched Betting

---

If you’re from the UK and over 18, then one of my most recommended legit ways to make money online is Matched Betting.

If you’re not familiar with Matched Betting, then it’s basically a method of betting where you place bets on all outcomes of a sporting event using free bet offers from bookmakers in order to make a profit.

Here’s my full beginners guide.

I’ve been Matched Betting for 1.5yrs and it’s been one of my main sources of online income.

The good news is you don’t have to know anything about sports to get involved.

Before I started Matched Betting I’d never placed a bet in my life and I never had any interest in sports.

Despite this, I was still able to earn £150 in my first 2 weeks. So this goes to show that complete beginners can earn with this method. 

  

You can get started right now with a FREE trial with my recommended program for Matched Betting beginners. With this trial, you can earn up to £45. (I was able to earn £11 in my first 24 hours, and £35 with the trial)

Update: Limited Time Only – Get 7 Days of FULL Access for only £1 

10) Online Shopping

---

This is an option you may not have considered before, but you can actually earn money when you shop online. When you make a purchase via one of the sites listed below, you get a percentage of that purchase as cashback. The more you shop online, the more you’ll earn, but I would recommend you stick to your usual spending habits.

Topcashback

This is my go-to cashback site and one I recommend the most. You can earn cashback on thousands of sites. Not only can you earn cash, but you can redeem your earnings for gift cards and travel rewards.

 

Quidco

It’s very similar to Topcashback, and another great cashback site to earn from. If I can’t find anything on TCB, then I’ll head over to Quidco.

 

Ebates

This one is just like the first two sites but is available to US citizens.

 

11) Social Media

---

Earning money with Social Media can be a great way to earn some extra income online. There are some people using it to earn a full-time income online.

The best way to earn with Social media is to become an Influencer. When you’re someone that people trust, then you’re likely to get users to follow your suggestions.

You should work on growing your social media following and providing value. You don’t need to have the biggest following to make money with social media, but you should have an engaged follower base.

The main social accounts to earn money online from are:

• Facebook
• Twitter
• Pinterest
• Instagram
• Tumblr

You can earn by using sites dedicated to helping you monetise your social media accounts, such as:

LinkiLike

With this site, you can share content on social media and earn money with each piece of content you share. Connect all your social media accounts, and you’ll get notified by email when there is new content to be shared. It’s a Dutch site, so the earnings are in euros. Once you reach 10 euros you can request a payout via Paypal.

 

SocialPubli

Here you earn money by sharing content on your social media. However, the cash out threshold is really high at $100. Payments can be made via bank transfer and cheque.

 

Adf.ly

This website is a site that converts your link into an adf.ly link. When a visitor clicks on the link they have to view an ad for at least 5 seconds before gaining access to the main content on the link you share.

If you have lots of engaged followers you can share your link, and the more engagement/clicks you get the more you can earn. I’ve seen a few social media accounts use this method, so it’s definitely worth considering if you have a lot of active followers. And the minimum payout is only $5.

 

Izea

You get access to different content which you can bid for in order to take part in that task. When you sign up, you should connect all your social media accounts. Based on your interests you’ll receive a list of campaigns.

You can then send a pitch for why you’ll be suitable for a particular campaign, and once you’re approved then you need to complete the task. It’s FREE to join, but there are also paid upgrades.

 

Boostinsider

Similar to Izea, you can pick campaigns that fit your social media following and share your link on your accounts. The more engagement you get, the more money you can earn. The cash out threshold is $10.

Unlike Izea, you don’t need to bid or send a proposal to promote the links. However, there aren’t always many campaigns available, so it can take a while to reach payout.

Here’s my full review + payment proof

 

Fiverr

If you have a large social following you can advertise promotion services on Fiverr. For example, you can offer to share a product or service to you 10,000 twitter followers for $5.

You can also add gig upgrades to earn more with your social account. Take a look at some of these Fiverr examples:

 

12) Making Online Searches

---

Qmee

With Qmee you can make money online just searching the web. It’s an extension which you add to your internet browser, and when you make a search on Google, Amazon on eBay, you can earn some extra cash online.

You can also earn with surveys, but as this post is focused on no surveys, then the search feature is still available. Payments are made via Paypal.

You can also download the mobile app to earn cash rewards, money-saving coupons and price comparison deals.

Here’s my review + payment proof. (Earn an extra 50p when you sign up through my link and make your first Paypal cashout).

Receipt Hog Review – Earn Easy Money Scanning Your Receipts!

What if I told you it’s possible to earn cash with your mobile phone, simply by scanning your receipts.

Well, it’s true and it’s totally possible!

I consider myself a bit of a receipt hoarder, and I’ve always had this habit of keeping receipts, even if I don’t need them…random, I know.

But now, thanks to the Receipt Hog app, I’ve found a genuine way to make use of them and earn easy cash.

How cool is that?!

I’ve personally tried and tested this app, and now I want to share with you my Receipt Hog Review, along with payment proof.

I’ll share with you how it works, how much you can make with this app, and the different ways you can cash out your earnings…plus a few tips to help boost your earnings.

So if you want to earn some easy cash using your smartphone, then keep on reading!

What is Receipt Hog?

Receipt Hog is a FREE smartphone app that allows you to earn money by scanning your grocery receipts. It is available to download on Android devices via the Google Play store, and Apple devices via the iTunes store.

Currently, Receipt Hog is only available to US and UK citizens.

The app uses your receipts for market research. They collect the data on things such as spending habits, items purchased and the stores frequently visited.

How Does It Work?

Once you’ve downloaded the app from the appropriate app store, and entered in the necessary details,  you can begin earning right away.

In order to earn cash with Receipt Hog, you need to take a photo of your receipts within the app.

Each receipt you snap will have various rewards ranging from coins, slot spins, and sweepstake tickets.

The aim is to build up the number of coins you have in order to reach a payout.

How Much Can You Earn?

With Receipt Hog, the number of coins you earn depends on the amount you spent on the receipt. However, not all receipts will be rewarded with coins. I’ve listed the receipts that qualify for coin rewards further below.

Here’s a breakdown of the coins you’ll earn per receipt, depending on spending:

• Under £10 = 5 coins
• £10 – 50 = 1o coins
• £50 – £100 = 15 coins
• Over £100 = 20 coins

Note: Once you reach 100 points within 1 week, each coin receipt you snap thereafter will only earn you 5 coins. So, once you reach 100 coins I recommend saving your bigger receipts for the following week.

I usually collect all my receipts together and snap them at the end of the week. Plus, if you upload receipts regularly every week then you get weekly bonus!

What Type of Receipts Earn Coins?

• Groceries/Supermarkets (e.g. Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda)
• Pharmacies (e.g Lloyds Pharmacy)
• Health and Beauty Stores (e.g. Boots, Superdrug)
• Bargain & Discount shops (e.g. Poundland, Home Bargains)
• Pet Shops (e.g. Pets a Home)
• Off Licence (e.g Spar)

Hog Slots

Each Hog Slot qualifying receipt earns you 1 spin on the slot.

On the Hog Slot you can win bonus coins and other prizes. So it’s a great way to possibly boost your earnings.

In addition, with each level you reach within the app, you get rewarded. So, for the first 11 levels you can currently expect to earn up to 88 free spins!

What Type of Receipts Earn Hog Slots?

• Clothing stores (e.g. Zara, H&M)
• Electronic stores (e.g. Currys)
• Book Shops (e.g. Waterstones)
• Sporting Goods (e.g. JD Sports)
• Home Improvement (e.g. Homebase, Ikea)

Sweepstake Entries

The sweepstake prize is a prize draw which gives you the opportunity to earn even more coins. The more sweepstake tickets you have, the more chance you have of winning.

You can earn tickets with each receipt you successfully upload. Therefore, the more receipts you snap, the more tickets you’ll accumulate.

I wouldn’t recommend spending more than you normally would just to get more receipts. But, it may be worth considering splitting your usual purchases into more than 1 transaction, in order to accumulate more receipts.

Which Receipts Earn Sweepstake Entries?

• Gas/Petrol stations
• Restaurants
• Bakery & Cafe shops

Pros

• FREE App  
• Can download on both Android and Apple devices 
• Simple To Use and Requires Little To No Effort – The app is so simple to use, and it takes little to no effort to upload your receipts.
• Receipt Upload Reminder – The app sends reminder notifications to prompt you to upload more receipts. (You can also change the setting if you don’t want this feature)
• Sweepstake Ticket With Every Receipt- You get to earn a sweepstake ticket for every receipt you snap that gets processed. So, the more receipts you upload the more you increase your chances of winning the sweepstake prizes.
• Pays via Paypal – If you’ve read some of my previous reviews you’ll know that I’m a big fan of apps/programs that pay via Paypal. I personally find it much easier to deal with compared to credit/debit cards etc. (Note: If you don’t have a Paypal account, it’s very easy to set one up, and this can even be done via the app when you’re ready to cash out.)

Cons

• Only Available to US and UK – Unfortunately you will not be able to use the app unless you are based in either of these countries.
• High Payment Threshold – The minimum cash amount is £5 which is equivalent to 1500. So although £5 sounds small, it can take a while to earn enough coins to make a cashout.
• Takes A Week For Payment To Reach You – It can take up to 1 week to receive payment. For some this may be long a wait, but it’s also not too long compared to some other programs I’ve used.
• No Referral Program – As they’ve reached maximum capacity they are currently no longer offering a referral program.
• Need To Remain Active On The App – It appears that you need to remain active on the app. So after 3 months of inactivity you’ll lose your account, and therefore your points.
• Collects Data Based On Your Receipt – This may not be a con for most people, however you may not like having your data collected. If that’s the case, then this app may not be suitable for you.

Ways to Earn Extra Coins

• Linking your Email = 100 coins
• Linking Amazon Account = 36 coins + 5 sweepstake entires
• Completing a Quick Questionnaire = 30 coins
• Connecting the App with Another Household User = 40 coins
• Sometimes you may win coins on Hog Slots, so that’s a nice opportunity to earn some extra coins
• You also have a chance to win coins with the sweepstake prizes. As you get rewarded a sweepstake ticket for every receipt, the more receipts you upload, the more chance you have of winning the sweepstake prizes.

How To Make Sure Your Receipts Are Accepted

In order to make sure your receipts are fully accepted you should follow these tips:

• Snap qualifying receipts
• Make sure the picture is clear, bright and the receipt is flat
• The receipt needs to show the store name, the items bought, the prices, the total and the date
• If the receipt is long you may need to take 2 or more photos to cover the whole receipt.

How Long Does It Take To Cash Out?

Once you’ve redeemed your cash it can take up to 1 week to receive payment.

How To Redeem + Payment Proof

It’s very simple to redeem your points for cash.

When you’ve reached the minimum coin threshold, or the amount you want to cash out, you can head over to the “Rewards” icon at the bottom right hand corner of the app, then click “Redeem Prizes”.

Once you’ve selected “Redeem Prizes”, you can select the payment method you’d prefer to use.

You can choose to redeem your coins via Paypal or Amazon. Paypal payments are in cash, and Amazon payments are in the form of a gift card.

I was able to redeem via Paypal. Below you can see the steps I did to redeem £5 cash.

Below is a screenshot of the payment proof from Paypal to show that Receipt Hog is legit, and really pays it users.

Final Thoughts

In this Receipt Hog review I’ve shown you how you can use this app to earn some extra money using your smartphone.

It’s a really simple and easy app to use that allows you to earn money with little to no effort involved.

However, I wouldn’t recommend spending too much time on this app as it certainly won’t make you rich. It’s just a way to supplement your income.

If you’re like me, and hoard your receipts, you might as well get paid for them…and even if you’re not a receipt hoarder, there’s nothing to lose by snapping the receipts before you throw them away.

So, would I recommend Receipt Hog? YES! Receipt Hog is a legitimate app that pays out it’s users, and is an easy way to earn some extra cash.

3 Genuine Ways To Make Money Online Searching The Web

Getting paid to search the web sounds too good to be true right? Well, here’s some good news for you. It is true! There are genuine websites that will actually pay you for searching the web.

This is an easy way to generate some additional money online, with little effort involved…doing what you already do on a regular basis.

Below is a list of 3 genuine ways to make money online searching the web.

1. Qmee

Sign Up To Qmee   

How does it work?

When you sign up to Qmee, you add an extension to your internet browser that allows Qmee to work while you search the internet. Qmee can work when you search on Google, Amazon and eBay.

As you make a search on any of these sites, Qmee will pop up in the left-hand corner offering cash rewards in exchange for clicks or discount codes for online stores. You can see how much you’ll earn as the amount will appear next to the link.

How much can you earn?

I’ll be honest, you won’t get rich while using Qmee to search the web. This site is a way to make some additional income, and as searching the web is probably what you do normally, why not get paid along the way.

Ultimately, there’s no limit to how much you can earn with Qmee. If you add the browser extension Qmee will detect when you’re searching online and provide you with cash rewards.

They also save you money by providing discount codes for shops similar to what you’re searching for.

Payment Proof

With Qmee I was able to cash out quite early via Paypal. There’s no payment threshold, and no PayPal fees to deal with. I also received my payment within minutes of requesting a payout. I definitely didn’t expect payment to be so instant so I was pleasantly surprised.

In order to see if Qmee really pays, I cashed out a portion of my earnings. See payment proof below.

Are there other ways to earn with Qmee?

Yes, with Qmee you can also earn by taking surveys. See examples or earning potential below. The surveys I’ve done so far have been quite short and didn’t take long to complete.

Pros

• Easy to use
• Can start earning money right away
• No minimum withdrawal
• Free to join
• Make some extra income for yourself or donate to charity
• Pays via Paypal (instant payments + no PayPal fees)

Cons

• Won’t make huge amounts of money
• Need to add extension to internet browser – It’s pretty to easy to do, but some users may not be comfortable with doing this
• Only operating in UK and USA

2. SwagBucks

Sign Up To Swagbucks   

What is SwagBucks?

If you’re familiar with looking for ways to make money online you’ve probably come across Swagbucks or heard about it at some point. If not, it’s basically a website that allows you to earn points for doing different tasks online, which you can redeem for cash and/or gift cards.

How does it work?

In order to make money online searching via SwagBucks, you’ll need to use their personal browser for your online searches.

How much can you earn?

You earn points when you search, and when you earn a certain number of points you can redeem them for cash or gift cards.

Just as before, searching the web via Swagbucks is only a way to supplement your income.

Maybe you could set a goal to get started in the new year, and any money you make throughout the year you can put towards a Christmas gift card or a new item for yourself/someone else.

It’s not a way to get rich, but it’s a nice way to put some money towards something without putting in a lot of time and effort.

How to earn more points when you use Swagbucks to search

You can earn more with Swagbucks by making it your default search browser. You’ll be able to find the instructions on how to do this on their website. It’s

It’s compatible with Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer browsers.

Swagbucks search is in partnership with Yahoo, therefore the results you get with Swagbucks search will be the same as what you get on Yahoo search engine.

Yes, you can earn by watching videos, taking surveys, completing offers…to name a few.

If you plan on using Swagbucks to search the web I recommend you consider combining it with the other ways to earn in order to maximise your earning potential.

Pros

• Free to join
• Easy to earn
• Multiple ways to make money alongside searching the web

Cons

• Low payment
• Only paid in points, which can be converted to gift cards

Known as Inbox Dollars for readers in the US.

Sign Up To InboxPounds  

What is Inbox Pounds?

Inbox Pounds is a Get Paid To (GPT) site which allows you to earn money in many different ways, from searching the web to reading emails.

How does it work?

Inbox Pounds has their own online browser which you can use to search the web. You get paid when you make a variety of searches.

How much can you earn?

Don’t expect to get rich searching the web via Inbox Pounds. Combined with Qmee and Swagbucks it could be a nice way to further supplement your income just searching the web like you would normally do.

I carried out 4 searches on the InboxPounds search feature, and I only made £0.01. So even though you can technically make money this way, it’s not very much. You can only earn up to £0.07 a day from searching.

The option is there if you choose to earn on the site this way, and you can use the other methods available (see below) to earn and make the most of the website.

My Final Thoughts

This list should give you some potential ideas of ways to earn some extra money online.

I personally prefer using Qmee because I can easily add it as an extension to my browser.  I can use my regular Google browser to search online and the links show up for me.

If you decide to use Inbox Pounds and Swagbucks then you may also want to consider trying out all the different ways of earning in order to maximise your potential.

Please note that the money you make from these sites is not necessarily going to be life changing, but it’ll definitely add up over time.

What do you think about being able to get paid to search the web? 

Will you be trying out any of these sites? 

Do you know of any other sites that pay you to search the web? 

I’d love to hear your comments. And if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them in the section below.

P.S. If you’re interested in working from home and earning enough to do so, then I’d personally recommend starting an online business. The earning potential is much greater and it could mean that you get to really earn a living from home. If you’re interested then please feel free to check out my #1 recommended online business training…the best part is you can try it out for FREE.

Prolific Academic Review – Get Paid To Take Surveys For Academic Research!

In my search to find genuine and legitimate ways to make money online I came across a site that has a unique way for allowing you to earn money through taking surveys. It definitely differs from other survey sites I’ve used in the past, and as you continue to read my Prolific Academic Review you’ll find out why.

What Is Prolific Academic?

Prolific Academic is a site that allows you to participate in surveys and studies for academic research and is supported by Oxford University. Genuine researchers upload their studies onto the site in order to get the right participants…you…to be involved in their study. As a participant, you are rewarded for taking part.

How To Get Started?

It’s quite easy to get started with Prolific Academic. Once you’ve opened the site via the link above you click on  “Sign up as a participant” to create your account. You can also choose to sign up via Facebook.

Sign Up As A Participant

When you’ve signed up, follow the instructions to set up your account. You’ll need to verify your account with your email address and phone number, and you can also verify using Facebook if you wish. (You get more information as you set things up).

In case you’re wondering, the phone number is only for verification purposes and since signing up I have not received any marketing texts from them at all. Furthermore, you’re asked to verify your account in order to build trust within their community.

Verify Your Account

Once you’ve verified your account you’ll be able to complete your profile by answering some short and simple pre-screening questions. By building your profile you’ll be given more eligible surveys. Furthermore, in order to receive payments, you’ll be able to add your Paypal email to your account.

What Makes Prolific Academic Different To Other Survey Sites?

Gives You Surveys You’re Actually Eligible For

Unfortunately, with most survey sites, you get started with the survey only to find out minutes later that you don’t actually qualify. Well, Prolific Academic will give you surveys that you are eligible for, and in my experience, I’ve never been stopped from completing a survey due to ineligibility.

They’re Involved In Scientific and Academic Research

With Prolific Academic, you get to be involved in scientific and academic research. As someone who studied a science-based course at University, I do find it quite exciting and inspiring to be a part of someone else’s research in this way, and then to get a rewarded for it. I’ve personally found the surveys to be more interesting than surveys you get from most other paid survey sites.

You Can Earn Money For Yourself and/or For Charity

This is definitely something that makes Prolific Academic unique in my opinion. You can choose to donate the money you earn to charities online. You could be doing good for your community as well as helping a fellow academic in their research.

You Won’t Get Away With Not Paying Attention

The surveys and studies here are by genuine university students and researchers, so you need to pay attention to your responses and make sure you’re giving as accurate information as you can in order to get rewarded for your time. Luckily the surveys are quite interesting and so it’s not too difficult to stay engaged in the study.

You Can Know Your Eligibility For A Survey Before Taking It

In the “Studies” section you’ll be able to see what surveys are available and what surveys you are eligible for. You get to see if you qualify for a survey even before you start it. This means you don’t waste time filling out long-winded pre-screening surveys that lock you out halfway through because you didn’t qualify.

You Get Additional Information About The Survey/Study

You get information about what you will earn for completing the survey, as well as what that is equal to at an hourly rate. You can further see how long the survey will take, and the timeframe the researcher is willing to give you to complete the study. (see screenshot below)

Get details about each study and find out if you’re eligible or not

Pros

The Studies Are Created By Researchers With A Student Email

This shows that the studies are created by real students who are looking for genuine participants for their research. This personally made me feel more comfortable getting involved with the site.

Studies Have An Estimated Time of Completion

One of the things I like about Prolific Academic is that they provide an estimated time of how long it’ll take to complete the survey. Many times you’ll be able to complete it sooner, but at least you can see how long it might take.

Low Payment Threshold

You only need to reach £5 before you can cash out which is quite low and you can make that quite quickly. One thing to note is that there is a payment fee taken when you cash out anything less than £20, so I’d personally recommend you wait until you’ve reached £20 to avoid any PayPal fees.

Pays via Paypal

I’m a big fan of any program that pays via PayPal, so it’s another reason why I like this site. (Update: Payments cashed out via Paypal include a 2.9% + 20p transaction fee. To avoid this fee you can now cash out using Circle)

Only Complete Surveys You’re Eligible For

As mentioned previously, Prolific Academic are very good are giving you surveys/studies that you always qualify for. I have never been locked out of a survey because I didn’t qualify, which is a common theme with most survey sites. So I’m glad that I’ve never had this problem, and it’s been like that for most (if not all) users of Prolific Academic.

You Can Earn Money For Charity

One of the things I like about Prolific Academic is that you can earn money for charity. So you can choose if you want to earn the money for yourself or if you want to donate it.

Earn money for yourself & charity by taking part in #ethical #online #academic #studies -@ProlificAc

Tweet This

Cons

Surveys Aren’t Always Regular

Most times you’ll receive email updates of new surveys, but sometimes there are studies that are filled before emails can be sent out, so you may not always have surveys available. One way around this is by visiting the site one or two times a day to see if there are any new studies available.

As they are looking for specific demographics you may not always be eligible for the current surveys, but it’s always good to check in every once in a while as there are new studies being posted daily.

How Much Can You Earn?

In regards to how much you’ll earn, you can generally expect to earn between £0.30 – £2 per survey, and I’ve personally seen some studies pay up to £4 each.

Payment Proof

I’ve included a screenshot of my payment proof to Paypal, just to show you that this site is legit and a genuine way to make some money online. I was able to cash out £20.41 and received payment within a few days.

UPDATE 2017: Prolific has now added Circle as a cashout method. Paypal payments require a 2.9% + 20p transaction fee. But with Circle, there is no fee involved once you reach £20. See below for payment proof using Circle.

My Final Thoughts

Overall I think Prolific Academic is a good legitimate site to use if you’re looking to make some additional money online. It differs from most survey sites in a positive way, which is why it’s one of my favourite sites to earn money from.

Do I Recommend Prolific Academic? YES! It’s really easy to get started and a nice way to supplement your income, while also helping academics with their research. I also like the idea of being able to donate your earnings for charity, and I think this is a really great touch. If you’re interested in another recommended survey site of mine, check out my Mintvine review.

Clixsense Review 2016 – Is It The Best Paid To Click Website?

UPDATE July 2017: Unfortunately, you can no longer earn via the Paid To Click (PTC) ads and Clixgrid methods.

What is Clixsense?

Clixsense is a Paid To Click (PTC) site that’s been running since 2007 and pays it’s users for completing different tasks online. Some tasks include viewing ads, surveys, playing games and completing offers. It’s very easy to get started with Clixsense as it’s free to join and simple to create an account. Once you’ve signed up you can begin earning right away.

Can You Really Make Money Online With Clixsense?

You’re probably wondering if you can really make money online with Clixsense, and the answer is Yes, you can…however, I wouldn’t want you to quit your day job as the the amount you earn isn’t going to make you rich in any way. For the most part you’ll be earning pennies to view website ads and complete tasks. Although it doesn’t have high payouts, it is a genuine way to make some money online, and I will discuss the multiple ways to earn below.

Are you interested in starting an online business? Take a look at my #1 recommended training program to help you get started!

Ways To Earn Money Online With Clixsense

1)  View Ads

The main way people earn from Clixsense is by viewing ads. It’s the fastest and simplest way to earn money on the site and ads usually last between 5-60 seconds.

The length of the ad will determine how much you will earn. Below is a breakdown of the earning potential

5 seconds – $0.001

15 seconds – $0.005

30 seconds $0.01

60 seconds – $0.02

2) Clixgrid

Clixgrid is a grid game whereby you click on random squares within the grid in hopes of winning up to $10. With each square you click you’ll have to view a 10 second ad. After viewing the ad you’ll find out if you’re a winner or not. If you’re not a winner then you won’t earn anything. So a bit of a gamble for your time if you don’t win anything.

Most of the recent winners only won about $0.10 or $0.25, which isn’t very much for the amount of time you spend on the grid. You get 30 chances a day to try and win. I’ve spent some time doing this and unfortunately I’ve never won anything from it so far.

Clixgrid Recent Winners

3) Surveys

Another way to earn money with Clixsense is by completing surveys. You’ll be prompted to complete a survey profile, which is just questions that you’ll need to answer about yourself. The aim of this is to provide you with surveys that fit your demographic and to fit you with surveys you’ll qualify for.

However, based on other users review, you’ll still be presented with many surveys that you won’t qualify for, despite filing out the survey profile. So it’s possible you’ll spend ages completing the qualification questions and then finding out that you don’t actually qualify for that survey…that’s a complete waste of your time and you don’t get reward at all for that time.

I personally haven’t tried using the surveys on Clixsense to make money. I tried many years ago, but remember not being very successful with it, so I decided not to even bother with surveys when trying the website out again this time around.

4) Microtasks with Crowdflower

You can also earn money by completing microtasks with Crowdflower. You’ll need to create a Crowdflower account, but you can sign up through Clixsense and it doesn’t take too long.

You’ll be presented with different tasks, but when you first get started the earning potential will be very low. My first task was only paying $0.02, and I was required to transcribe audio.

As you complete more and more tasks, you’ll move up the different levels. As you move up the levels you’ll have the chance to earn more from the tasks. So if you want to use this method for making money it’s encouraged that you stick to it as much as you can at the beginning, as you’ll start seeing better rewards as you move up the levels. I’ve seen some reviews of people making up to $40-50 from microtasks alone…once they’ve reached the higher levels.

Below is an image that shows some potential jobs that are available. As you can see, you have to be at a certain level to complete a few of these tasks.

I’ve only recently begun looking at the “Tasks” section of Clixsense, so I haven’t achieved the levels yet. If I have any new updates regarding microtasks I’ll add them here.

5) Complete Clixoffers

You can earn extra by completing offers which include signing up to websites, taking surveys, entering competitions etc.

6) Clixsense Bonus/Daily Checklist

Clixsense has a daily checklist to help you earn money on a daily basis. This is a good way to earn something everyday, and you can keep track of how much you need to do, and how much you’ve earned for that day. If you can keep up with this on a daily basis, then you could make a nice little bit of money.

Other Features:

Playing Clixsense Games

Clixsense has some games that can be played on the site, however you can not make money by playing these games, they’re just for you to enjoy. I think these can be entertaining to play every now and again.

ClixAddOn

This is a tool that sends notification of any new tasks or offers that you can complete. It can be downloaded for Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera browsers. With this tool it’s more likely that you’ll get more PTC ads and get earlier access to surveys and tasks, because you’ll be notified of them sooner than other members.

So, Is Clixsense a Scam?

Although the earning potential of Clixsense is quite low, it is definitely NOT a scam. Clixsense is a legitimate website, and a real way to make some money online.

Price

Free

Clixsense is completely free to join, and you can remain a free member as long as you want.

Premium ($17/year)

There’s an option to upgrade to premium if you feel you will benefit from being a premium member, which will cost you $17.

Benefits of being a premium member include:

1. Higher earning potential
2. Some premium users have mentioned having more earning opportunities (i.e. more ads to view), which looks about right based on the screenshot below.
3. Paid up to $2 for each referral
4. More chance to win Clixgrid. This is because you’re given 60 chances as a premium member vs 30 chances as a free member.

Below is a screenshot from Clixsense which gives you a better idea of what the benefits are if you decide to upgrade:

I’d recommend that you only upgrade if you believe/know you’ll be able to get many referrals, and stay up to date with the daily checklist. If you’re not likely to make more than $17 a year then it’s not going to be worth the membership fee.

Who is it for?

Anyone who may be looking to make some extra money online. But I would recommend that you don’t spend hours and hours on the site.

Who is it NOT for?

• Those not interested in PTC sites. – If you don’t like spending time clicking through ads…especially for pennies, then this website is not for you.
• Those who want to earn more than a few pennies online. If you’re someone who wants to have a bigger earning potential then Clixsense will not be for you. A good alternative would be to start your own online business.

Pros

Multiple Ways To Earn

Free to Join

No Experience Needed

Trustworthy website

Clixsense has been running since 2007 and has been successfully paying members since. They’re a good company, and would be my recommended PTC site for anyone thats interested in earning with this method.

Pays via Paypal

Clixsense pays its members via Paypal, which I’m glad about. You can also cash out with other payment platforms such as Payza and Neteller.

Clixsense Forum

You can interact with other Clixsense members within the forum, and take a look at different success stories and payment proofs.

Cons

A lot of time required to earn decent income

To earn any decent amount on Clixsense you have to spend a lot of time completing tasks.

Only one account per household

Rarely qualify for a survey

Most people will find that they don’t qualify for a survey, even though they’ve filled out all the profile questions. It seems that the chances of actually being able to qualify for a survey is very low. And in the end, you get no reward for time you spend completing the qualification questions. (Here’s a survey site that pays even if you don’t qualify)

High payout threshold

If you’re not completing surveys, then you might have trouble reaching the $8 threshold…unless you’re lucky enough to win $10 on Clixgrid. Considering you’re paid between $0.001-$0.01 for clicking ads it will probably take a long time to reach that threshold. The best way to earn more is to take part in all the different earning methods.

Tips To Earn More Money With Clixsense

If you’re interested in making money through Clixsense then I want to provide some tips that could help you increase your earning potential

1. Sign up to Premium

If you really want to boost your earnings, then you could consider signing up to premium. It’s $17 a year, but you’ll be able to earn more than a free user.

2. Earn more with Referrals

This is probably the best way to earn more with Clixsense, and it’s the method that most Clixsense members use to maximise their earnings. The referrals would have to be active in order for you to earn. So the more referrals you have, the more likely you are to earn more money.

3. Buxenger

If you haven’t heard of Buxenger before, it’s basically a very useful app that allows you to speed up your earnings from viewing ads. You can also use it to manage your Clixsense account and any other PTC accounts you have more effectively. It’s free to join, with the option to upgrade for only $2 a month. This app won’t necessarily make you earn more, but it’ll allow you to earn faster, therefore saving you time to do other things.

In order to understand it better feel free to watch the tutorial video below.

My Final Thoughts

Overall, Clixsense is a legit website that allows you to earn some money online…but don’t expect to get rich with it. As you can probably tell, I don’t think it’s something to spend a lot of time on. Maybe you can find ways to make use of the site to fit in with your day to day activities without wasting too much of your time. For example, you can view ads or use Clixgrid during TV ad breaks.

As you can see, it’s very low paying and not really worth a lot of effort. Instead, you could use your time to build an online business. That’s what I do, and I have a free online business training program that you can join to help you get started.

Is Clixsense the best PTC website? Personally, I think it is one of the best PTC sites to earn money from. Although you won’t earn a lot for viewing sites, you still have multiple other ways to earn from the site. Ultimately, if you work hard enough with Clixsense there’s still a good opportunity to earn some decent money from it. So if you feel you can make it work then I’d recommend you give it go.

Paid Surveys:

MintVine:

Mintvine is my personal favourite survey site online. They are a relatively new survey site, and I am still quite new to the site. I have already cashed out $10.21 and have over $8 so far. (See my review + payment proof here)

There are multiple ways to earn some points, and once you reach 1000 points you are able to cash out $10. You can also check out my video review on YouTube. You can even get points if you don’t qualify for a survey. It doesn’t happen all the time but I think it’s nice that you can get rewarded for that.

Price to Join: Free

Earning Potential:

• 1000 points = $10. Payment through PayPal, or can exchange into gift cards. (Paypal payout can take a little while, mine took over 1 week, but it does pay)

Prolific Academic:

Prolific Academic is a survey site that is based on academic research. Academics, with a valid university email address,  give you their research for users like you to participate in and get paid. It’s free to sign up, and it has a low payment threshold of £5, which doesn’t take too long to reach. You get emails sent to you when new tests become available. I haven’t been given a survey that I didn’t qualify for, which is a nice relief compared to other survey sites.

At the time of writing I have already earned £6.20, and if you wait until you reach £20, then you avoid any PayPal fees. (see my review + payment proof here)

Price to Join: Free

Earning Potential:

• So far I’ve seen survey payments range from £0.50 to £1.00 per survey (Update: You can now earn up to £4 per survey)

• Paid surveys
• Get paid to read emails

The emails get sent to your inbox, and when you click “Confirm the paid email”, you’ll get paid. I’ve noticed that the payment is £0.01 per email…but if you complete the offer advertised in the email you can also get paid for that. So far I’ve seen some offers up to £4. You can also get paid to search online using Inbox Pounds as your search engine. You need to have £20 in order to cash out, and you get paid via cheque.

Price to Join: Free

Earning Potential:

• Very low in my opinion, you make more if you spend time doing the surveys and offers, but I personally like to spend my time on other make money opportunities. However, it is nice to get paid to read emails and search online, and it requires very little work. So far I’ve seen up to 4 emails a day, sometimes it can be more. I have yet to cash out, so I’m not sure how long or how simple the process is, but once I do cash out I will do an update.

There is also a US version called InboxDollars which is the essentially the same thing, with a cash out threshold of $30

Selling Products Online

eBay:

I’ve been selling on eBay for over 1.5 years, and in that time I’ve made £6000+ in sales (this isn’t taking into account the cost of shipping and eBay’s fees), and within 1 year I earned Top Rated Seller status. At first, I was selling things on the side and then started turning it into a part-time income.

It’s pretty easy to get started, you don’t need any initial costs, and you can set up a free account here now. You can start by selling used or unwanted items around your house, and once you generate enough you can think about buying and reselling products. I use Aliexpress, DHgate, and Alibaba to purchase my stock to resell. Overall, I prefer Aliexpress, as they have a low minimum order quantity (MOQ), which means you can order in small amounts if you’re on a budget, and sometimes the prices of products you add to your basket or wishlist can be reduced, so you get them at a sale price. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re new to selling on eBay.

Earning Potential:

• There’s no limit to how much you earn
• When I started with eBay, I made money within the first few hours of listing my product. So if you’re lucky you could make money today from eBay. When putting the cost of your product think about eBay fees and postage costs.
• I recommended following  Andrew Minalto for very useful tips about selling on eBay.

Amazon:

This platform is better for selling new products, however, I have made money selling used items too. It’s free and easy to sign up. When pricing your items, Amazon shows you how much the seller fees will be, and how much you can expect to make, which is very handy, so you don’t have to do it all manually. As a new seller, you are restricted from selling some products, such as perfumes, but there are still other products you can sell, and once you become more established, you’ll be able to sell more items. One other advantage is that you don’t have to write descriptions for your item if it’s new, as it’s already available on Amazon. You can also source products to resell from Aliexpress, DHgate, and Alibaba.

Earning Potential:

• There’s no limit to how much you can earn
• You can make it a part-time or full-time income

Etsy:

I personally don’t have much experience selling on Etsy, but I know there are people who are making a lot of money with it. It’s great if you’re good at arts and crafts, and you can sell your creations on there. Things you can create to sell on Etsy include:

• Jewellery
• Cards
• Home decor
• …to name a few

Earning Potential:

• There’s no limit to how much you can earn
• Can make it a part-time or full-time income

Affiliate Marketing:

Affiliate Marketing is basically a method of promoting other people’s products and receiving a commission for a sale that is made.

Anyone can get started with affiliate marketing and it doesn’t require any start-up costs. In order to really do well with affiliate marketing you’ll need:

• A website
• Affiliate products
• Training

My recommended training for starting with affiliate marketing is Wealthy Affiliate (see review). They offer the training you need to get started, and it’s free to join. You can sign up as a free member here, and if you like what you see you can upgrade to premium membership. The great thing is that you can remain a free member as long as you like. But if you’re really serious about making money with affiliate marketing I would encourage you to upgrade. Either way, both options are available.

With a free account you get:

• 2 FREE websites
• Training
• and help from the Wealthy Affiliate online community

These are very helpful for when you’re just starting out.

Earning Potential:

• There’s no limit to how much you can earn

Earn Cashback Online

TopCashBack:

TopCashBack is my favourite cashback site. A site like this basically allows you to get earn some money back when you shop online. I use it for my online purchases. You can also even earn cashback on some free offers which is nice. If you download the TopCashBack notifier, you can get a pop-up notification whenever you visit a site that is offering cashback, therefore, you don’t need to manually remember to check your cashback account.

Price to Join: Free

Earning Potential: 

• Depends on how much online shopping you do.

Quidco:

Quidco is another popular cashback site in the UK. I usually look here if I can’t find someone on TopCashBack, but most of the time I can. I haven’t used this site much, but I know many people do, and earn a lot.

Price to Join: Free

Earning Potential:

• Depends on how much online shopping you do.

For Those in the US: You can check out Ebates, which is also a cashback site available to US citizens.

Matched Betting

Matched Betting is a technique that involves taking advantage of bookmaker offers in order to make a guaranteed profit. So in essence, you are betting on all outcomes of a sporting event, so that no matter what happens, you make a profit. It is a legitimate and genuine way to make money online, which has even been suggested by MSE and Save the Student (which is where I actually first found out about Matched Betting.)

With Matched Betting, I have been able to make £500+ in just over 2 months. There are people who are able to make £1000-£2000 a month with this. I currently do this on the side, and you can get started with as little as £50. The higher you start with the more money you’ll make, but if you’re a complete beginner, and still unsure I’d recommend starting with a minimum of £50-100.

Please feel free to check out My Matched Betting Experience blog for more information about Matched Betting, and be sure to check out the Profit Accumulator review, which is my recommended program for anyone who is a beginner and wants to have a step by step guide to follow, with video and written tutorials. With the Profit Accumulator free trial, you can earn up to £45.

I made £35 overall with my free trial, of which £11 was made in my first 24 hours. Also, the money you make with Matched Betting is tax-free!

Price to Join:

• Profit Accumulator has a free trial offer.
• But you need a minimum of £50 to get started with Matched Betting

Earning potential:

• £200-1000/month
• But some people are making up to £2000/month

Struggling To Make Money Online? Here Are 7 Reasons Why

Struggling to make money online?

I feel this is an important topic to delve into, because so many of us ask ourselves, “why am I not making money online?”. So I want to share 7 of the main reasons why you may be struggling to make money online. I haven’t written these to put you down, I have written them to make you aware of what you may be doing wrong, and what you need to improve about your mindset in order to really succeed in the online world.

Reason #1: You Assume That Making Money Online Is Easy

Although there are some sites that you can genuinely earn money from, that require little work, those sites will not earn you a liveable amount. They’re mostly side incomes, something you can do in your spare time to earn a little extra money, to cover a monthly subscription, such as a phone bill.

In order to really make money from an online business, you need to understand and realise that making money requires hard work. Yes, many people are making passive income, however, it took a lot of work and dedication to get there.

Reason #2: You Don’t Really Know How To Convert Traffic To Buyers

Now, I can totally identify with this one. When I first started my Make Money Online journey, I thought the most important thing I needed to do was get traffic to my site, and that my visitors will automatically become buyers. Needless to say, I got it wrong. I spent a lot of time and money on the wrong kind of traffic. I spent ages earning credits manually with traffic exchange sites, and spent hundreds on sites that promised “unlimited traffic”. Yes, I got the traffic, but unfortunately, this was not the traffic I needed if I was going to get people to buy my products.

Things began to change when I joined Wealthy Affiliate. It’s was at this point that I realised that I needed targeted traffic in order to improve my chance of sales, and they teach you how to work towards getting quality visitors who are more likely to buy your products.

Reason #3: You Don’t Realise How Much Time Is Required

Making money online can take some time

Now, if your goal is to earn passive income with your business, then you’ll need a lot of time to get there. Although I am able to make money online, I am still working towards my passive income goals. However, I am not letting the time I have pass me by. I use as much time as I can working on ways to improve my business, and how to improve my earnings. When I first started my Make Money Online journey, I didn’t realise the time and effort that would be involved. So I can totally understand if you also don’t know. However, this is why I want to help you know and understand the truths about making money online, and starting an online business.

Reason #4: You’re Jumping From One Opportunity To The Next

There’s a term used online for this behaviour, it’s called “Shiny Object Syndrome”. That was me at the beginning of my journey. I was jumping from one shiny opportunity to the next, hoping to find the next big thing that would earn me lots of money. In the end, I wasn’t getting anywhere. I wasn’t allowing myself to really progress with  an opportunity to see if I could get real results from it.

With Wealthy Affiliate, I have found the right program for me. They don’t make “shiny” promises, they deliver quality and give you the tools you need to work for yourself. Don’t rely on “get rich quick” schemes to make you money. The money you make depends on you.

I understand that sometimes you want to test the waters with a few programs to see how you get on, and that’s absolutely fine. Just try not to do too many at once. Stick to one, or a few programs and work hard at those first, in order to see what works for you. That’s one of the reasons I created this site. I want to be able to show you the best, and legitimate opportunities for making money online.

Reason #5: You Don’t Really Want To Spend Any Money

Now if you’re just looking for ways to make a little extra money, through surveys, paid to click (PTC), and get paid to sites (GPT) etc, then yes, you shouldn’t need to spend any money. The money you make isn’t going to be much, therefore, it isn’t worth any financial investment, in my opinion.

However, if you’re serious about building a business online, and making money through that, then yes, you will need to invest money. Now, if you’re familiar with my site you’ll see that I recommend Wealthy Affiliate as a way to get started online for $0, and it genuinely is free to join. But if you want to see your business grow and make the most of it,  you’ll need to make some financial investments. These investments include:

• Having a professional website
• Domain Name
• Web Hosting
• Advertising
• Tools and Resources
• …to name a few.

Luckily, Wealthy Affiliate is one of the few very affordable training programs online. For less than $50/month you can get training, tools, resources, high-quality web hosting, and an active community of fellow online business entrepreneurs.  You can check out my review below to see what Wealthy Affiliate has to offer, and you can sign up for a free membership, test it out for 7 days or so, just to see if it’s the right program for you.

Reason #6: You’re Not Fully Committed or Willing To Learn

Some people who join the Make Money Online world are just not committed. You need to realise that making money online can be a long process, especially in the beginning, therefore, you need to be willing to stay committed and work hard. If you can do that, then you’ll start seeing the fruits of your labour.

Furthermore, you need to be willing to learn. You need to learn how you’ll maximise your earning potential, and learn how to get better at your online business. If you try out Wealthy Affiliate’s free membership you’ll get to see all the learning materials they offer, and be able to try out some of the training for yourself. From here you’ll get an idea of whether or not you’re willing to learn and be committed towards your business.

Even making money online through surveys, GPT, PTC sites etc, requires commitment, if you only do it every now and again, you won’t see your money grow.

Reason #7: You Don’t Like To Work

If you’re constantly looking for the easy route, then you won’t be very successful online. Yes, there are ways to make money online with little work, as I mentioned before you can do so through survey sites etc. But to make consistent money online through an online business you need to be willing to work. If you truly want to make money online successfully, then you’ll need to start changing your mindset.

Final Words:

Hopefully this list has helped you point out areas you may need to change/improve in order to successfully make money online.

Ultimately, people who fail online do so because of their lack of commitment.

So, if you’re someone who has the idea to do something legit, gradually and long-term, then you have a higher chance of succeeding online.

How Will You Get Notified Of New Products To Test?

What Type Of Tests Can You Expect and How Much Will You Get Paid

The payment you receive depends on the type of test that you do. There are 5 types of tests available:

Personal Meetings ($ – You set the price):

Usually bigger brands and startups might use this method as a way to get user opinions and feedback in real-time. Because it involves taking your time to commute, the price is open for you to decide how much you’ll want to be paid.

Phone Calls ($35):

The good thing about phone calls is that you get to give live feedback, without having to commute. You’ll be asked to give your experience while using the product on the phone. They usually take around 30 minutes to complete, and shouldn’t take more than 50 minutes

Online Usability Tests ($25):

With this method you will be providing feedback on things such as product design. It will usually take around 10-20 minutes to complete, but some can be up to 30 minutes.

Surveys ($10)

If you choose this method you will be helping brands get data on specific questions, and will usually take 5-10 minutes to complete

Help To Choose ($5)

This is nice and easy because you get to pick your preference over features such as colour, logo, design, name etc.

Who Is It For?

ATryBox is good for anyone who is looking to make some extra money online. If you enjoy giving your opinions and feedback, you can get paid to do so.

What Can You Expect To Get When You Join?

Well, other than getting paid, there are also some other features you can expect to get:

Fixed Prices:

You get fixed prices on the tests that you do (except Personal Meetings)

Do What You Like:

You get to choose the methods of testing you want to do. So if you’re someone who hates phone calls, but loves surveys, then you can decline a specific test.

You Get To Work Where You Want:

If you’re at home or travelling, all the tests (expect Personal Meetings), can be done remotely.

Fast Payments:

You can expect to receive payments within 7 days of completing the test.

How Will You Get Paid?

Payment is made through Venmo. If you don’t have a Venmo account, then you can create one when you receive your first payment. Venmo is part of Paypal, and charges no commission, so you actually get what you earn.

What Do You Need To Get Started?

•  Be A U.S resident
