Well, from now on, every money will be Makin’ Money Monday, where I’ll share new tips on how to earn some extra cash from home!! Rockin’ right?
We’re all looking for Big Money No Whammies, right?? {Please don’t tell me that I’m the only one who remembers that show?} Anyway, there are a TON of scams when you start searching online for “Make Money From Home”, or “Make Money Online”.
But there are plenty of legit ways to earn some extra cash. Today I’ll share some tips on survey companies, since that is the first way that most people start earning a bit of money.
I’ve used a ton of these for years now, and get some pretty awesome rewards. I save most of the FREE gift cards I earn until the holidays, which helps a TON. The checks I earn really do add up. And the FREE products I get to test are awesome, and help with my budget, since they’re one more thing I don’t have to buy!
Inbox Dollars- You get $5 FREE just for setting up your account, and there are a TON of ways to earn. You get rewards in cash, sent as checks, you can cash out at $30.
MyPoints rewards you with FREE gift cards, and they have hundreds to choose from, in amounts ranging from $10-$100. I almost always get $50 cards, they’re a pretty good value.
Toluna is another great one that rewards you with cash! You can request a check every time you reach $20.
Survey Spot is a fun one… They do a lot of giveaways on top of the rewards. PLUS, I just got a product test from them, it’s on the way, to try out a whole package of FREE diapers from Huggies!! Love it.
DollarSurveys – Take free surveys and earn a dollar for each survey you complete! Visit everyday for more surveys Click Here to check it out. This is cool because they pay you ONCE A WEEK with PayPal!
MySurvey – Take Surveys, Earn Rewards, It’s Easy & Free! Click Here. One of my NEW favorites!! They’ve started doing a TON of product tests lately. That means you get a FREE product {I’ve had salad dressing and Cover Girl full size mascara lately} to test, then get rewards for giving your opinion!
There ya go girls and guys! Get signed up for a couple, or all of them, and start earning some extra cash and other free goodies! Any questions about how this stuff works, leave me a comment and I’ll answer them for you :)

What I love about Lot18:

This is super easy to set up. Just do the quick sign up, with email and info, then get started swapping! Once you set up your FREE account, you can browse the boxes available to swap.
That means that there are a LOT of goodies out there for you to check out. So many kids clothes get such a small amount of wear, and we all end up with TONS of stuff still in really good condition. This is a fantastic way to get new stuff for your own kiddo’s really cheap, and an easy way to get rid of the gently worn items your kids have outgrown!
Your first box of kids clothes is FREE! Then you pay only $5 bucks + shipping for a box of new-to-you kids stuff! You can search by size, gender, and season to find a box that’s just right for you.
When you list a box of your own, when someone buys it, THEY pay the shipping. You just print off a pre-paid shipping label, and schedule a free pick-up!
When you add a box of books to swap, you get a FREE $5 credit in your account.
As a fun bonus, sometimes they list a Golden Thred’s box, which is a box filled with BRAND NEW kids stuff from one of their partner companies. These are first come, first served, but are still just $5 + shipping!! Awesome.
You can invite people you know, like friends and family, and swap boxes with them too!
I’ve used ThredUp for over a year, and have NEVER had a bad experience with them.
{And if you are unhappy with a box, like if someone sends bad items, you have a way to fix it. Read their tips!} My little girl is almost a year, and we’ve ended up with lots of stuff that she outgrew so quick that it still looks brand new. So the people getting my boxes of stuff are getting great stuff!
I also listed a box of used books, since baby gets tired of the same ol’ books. I plan on getting a new box as soon as the book swap goes live tomorrow.
So, sign up for a FREE account at ThredUp today!
