You may not be interested in investing 40 hours a week into getting rich online, but you can still
make money online in
this digital age. You don’t have to work a full-time job online to
benefit from all of the possible income sources out there. In fact, this
is a list of websites that will actually pay you to do things you’re
already doing, like shopping and surfing the web. If you’re already
doing it, why not get paid for it?
From
watching videos to taking online surveys to playing games, Swagbucks
offers many different ways to have fun and put cash in your pocket at
the same time. Overall, you can regularly earn $25-$100 per month on
Swagbucks just for doing the things you are already doing online.
Swagbucks comes first on this list because I have personally made more
money with them than the rest, and they seem to have the most options.
They also offer cashback shopping in the form of
SB points that you can redeem for Free gift cards to places like Amazon, Walmart, and Paypal.
BestMark
is a mystery shopping job. I’ve had much success with them, and they
pay quite a bit, depending on your location. You’ll get paid to shop at
different places and review the experience. A lot of it will be things
like general car maintenance that you’ll already be doing. Not only will
they pay you to do it, they will reimburse the cost of the service!
This
website is a lot of fun. After you sign up and complete the test video,
you will start to receive email notifications when new website tests
are available. They will give you a few tasks to accomplish on a
website, while you record your screen and voice the whole time. You get
paid for each website you evaluate. It usually takes about 15-20
minutes, and the pay is generally $10-$15 per website.
Perk
is growing rapidly and constantly adding new ways to make money. You
can download one of their many apps, including their popular
Perk TV. Now they even have an app that actually pays you to watch TV in your home.
This
website is unique in that it gives you 100% commission when you shop
through them. They don’t take a cut. They’re able to do this by allowing
businesses to be featured on their homepage. In other words, they are
paid by the advertisers, which works out in your favor!
Another
website that pays you to watch videos, but they also pay for contests,
completing offers, playing games, and much more. Zoombucks will keep you
busy earning money.
FushionCash
pays you to watch videos, among other things. They’ll even pay you to
listen to the radio through a third-party service called
RadioLoyalty.
Watching
videos, shopping, playing games, winning contests, trying
products—these are just some of the ways CashCrate pays. That would
explain why they are so popular.
Get
paid to watch videos, play games, and shop, among other things. I’ve
used InboxDollars for a few years now, and while it won’t make you rich,
it will provide you with some extra cash.
This
website offers competitive cashback rates for gift cards to different
stores, and they are powered by Swagbucks, which means they are another
way to earn SB points while getting cashback.
SendEarnings
will pay you to watch videos, play games and even shop at different
stores to buy the things you’re already buying. That’s just the
beginning when it comes to what they will pay you for.
Yet
another great cashback website to use for comparison when shopping.
Browse around to see who offers the most cashback for what you’re buying
and earn that money.
MyPoints
will pay you for watching videos and playing games, like many of the
other websites here, but their main thing is cashback on popular
websites like Amazon and Groupon.
Memo
Link also pays for various things, but first and foremost, they are a
cashback website. You can shop at all kinds of online retailers though
them.
Up
to 30% cashback at over 2,000 different stores! You will definitely be
able to find a retailer to shop with and get cashback through Extrabux.
This
is a cashback website that seems to focus on popular brick and mortar
stores like Walmart, Target, Sears, and Macy’s. However, they do offer
cashback at more stores and websites, so they’re good for comparing
with other websites.
Formerly
BigCrumbs, MainStreetSHARES is cashback shopping with an investing
twist. You receive cashback by shopping at online stores, but you also
have the ability to earn virtual shares (similar to stock shares) as
part of their profit sharing program. This is truly unique.
This
is another great cashback website with most of the major stores to
choose from. They offer up to 30% cashback on a few stores, but 5% is
standard to see for many of the retailer websites they offer.
This
is another mystery shopper website like BestMark, but the shops are
different. BestMark seems to focus more on auto-related purchases, while
Second to None focuses more on smaller shops. One of their biggest
assignments right now involves compliance on alcohol and tobacco
products at select stores. Occasionally, there could be an important
assignment (depending on your location) that could pay close to $100 for
a few minutes of work.
Most
of the cashback websites offer a $3 or $5 bonus for signing up—BeFrugal
offers a $10 signup bonus. They offer up to 30% cashback on select
stores, and up to 10% cashback on Amazon.
Cashback
at all of the major departments stores, electronics stores, and even
movie theatres. The app makes it easy to use right on your phone.
Yet
another great cashback website that makes it really simple for you to
find your cashback coupon and go shopping. Coupon Cactus is also great
for saving money in other ways. Browse around their website to figure
out all of the ways you can earn and save.
IntelliShop
is a great mystery shopper website, and it’s easy to sign up and get
started. They offer many different types of mystery shopping
opportunities from all kinds of different businesses.
This is another great mystery shopping website. They offer fun ways to shop, evaluate companies, and earn money while doing it.
Market
Force is a great mystery shopping company. I like that they not only
have plenty of stores to mystery shop at, but you’ll also get paid to
eat! Market Force seems to have more restaurants to shop at than the
other mystery shopping companies.
You’ll
get paid to watch videos, listen to music, shop, and do several other
things. They also have a very low minimum cash out—you can get paid
after earning a single dollar.
This
is same concept as User Testing. Each test takes about 10-15 minutes
and pays $10. Analysia works the same way as User Testing—they will
email you when a test becomes available.
Just
like the two websites above, StartUpLift pays you to answer questions
about different websites. The questions vary depending on what the
specific client wants, but each one pays a flat $5.
This
website pays $10 for 15-20 minutes of website evaluation. You’ll visit
the website, and then provide feedback on different aspects that the
client is looking for.
These
tests fluctuate a little more than the other websites, as far as tasks
to complete and pay-per-test, but Enroll is another great option to sign
up for and await emails telling you when tests are available.
Additional Tips
- Make a separate email account. You
can use your personal email if you want, but it’s best to set up a new
email account that is specifically dedicated to making money online.
This will keep your personal inbox clear and it will make it easier to
organize emails from these specific websites.
- Don’t use these websites as a bank. As
soon as you reach the minimum for withdrawal, take your money. You
never know if and when the website could unexpectedly close. This way,
you also won’t have to worry about any errors with funds that you store
at the website.
- Don’t forget to pay your taxes. You
may be surprised to find that you can easily earn a few thousand
dollars over the course of a year. The government will be interested in
this new endeavor as well. Make sure to claim the money as income and
report it properly on your taxes at the end of the year.

This
list is a goldmine for you to take advantage of. I’ve used websites
like these to make extra cash for years—I’ve even got a free laptop from
these types of websites—so they are worth your time. Stay organized,
keep track of your earnings, and you’ll be surprised at how much money
you can make by doing the things you already do.
