Ways To Make Money Online - Legitimate Ways To Make Extra Money

Are you looking for some legitimate ways to make some extra cash online?

I have not found a way to make a ton of money or get rich quick or make enough to count as a part time job.  But $10-$50 every month on 4-8 different sites, not only adds up but every little bit helps if you ask me!  We save money by couponing, shopping sales and making our own stuff, then we add the extra bit of cash I make here and there...  For a few extra minutes of my time, it's been more than worth it for me.  I am always looking for more ways to make money online and I will update you as I find more!  I am only posting things that I actually do myself, so I can say that they are safe and legit.


Get Paid To View Ads, Emails and More

FusionCash - My FAVORITE site for earning money.  FusionCash has an A+ rating with BBB.  They start you out with a $5 bonus just for signing up.  Then you can earn money everyday for viewing emails, searching the web, watching videos, listening the internet radio, taking surveys, completing free, trial and paid offers, completing tasks and of course, shopping!  You can cash out at $25.

 Inbox Dollars - You also get a $5 bonus for signing up.  You can earn money for completing free, trial and paid offers, viewing emails, taking surveys, playing games, watching videos, searching the web, printing coupons and using coupons, completing tasks and yes, shopping!  You can cash out at $30.

MyPoints - My Points is similar to Swagbucks and is BBB accredited.  Get paid for shopping, searching the internet, completing offers and surveys.  It's another great way to earn some extra Amazon gift cards, or whatever kind of gift card you want.

Swagbucks - Swagbucks is probably the most well known site for these things and I have been using them for years.  I have received hundreds of dollars in Amazon Gifts cards from them.  The best part is you can cash out with as little as 450 Swagbucks (equal to $5 Amazon gift card).  You earn Swagbucks by searching the web, completing offers, taking surveys, watching videos, printing and using coupons and much more.

Get Money Back for Shopping, Online and In Store.

Ebates - Was started in 1998, BBB accredited and gives you cash back for your online shopping.  My favorite thing about Ebates is probably the extension you can add to your browser which will alert you when they have a cash back offer on whatever webpage you are on.  This is great for me because I tend to forget to visit the rebate site first!

Ibotta - Ibotta is a fantastic app.  It gives you cash back (to your PayPal account) for shopping.  Check out what offers they have, they update all the time.  Complete the offers, buy the product, scan the receipt and barcode in the app and send to Ibotta.  Once it's approved, you get money back!  Once you have $5 from Ibotta you can have them send it to your PayPal account.  I've received well over $200 back from them, just for buying things I already buy and use!

MrRebates - Has been around since 2002, BBB accredited and gives you cash back for your online shopping.  Mr Rebates has stores that Ebates does not and visa versa.  Between the two, my preference is Mr Rebates.

MyPoints - For online shopping rebates, My Points is my favorite.  I check My Points, Ebates and Mr Rebates and usually end up going with My Points.  BBB accredited.


Get Paid to Take Surveys
I have tried many survey sites and these are my favorites that I've had the most success with.

E-Poll - They don't send out a ton of survey invites, but so far I have been able to take and complete each one they send me!

iPoll - Survey site, also BBB accredited.

I-say by Ipsos - Survey site, not a lot of surveys but the ones they have are interesting and I rarely get kicked out of them.

MindField - Mindfield is another BBB accredited survey site.

Mint Vine - I haven't been using this one as long as the others, but so far so good.

MySurvey - Another fun BBB accredited survey site.

MyView - BBB Accredited, you can only sign up by referral.  This is probably my favorite survey site.

National Consumer Panel - This is a really fun way to earn points and get free stuff.  They send you a scanner and you scan all the purchases you make and transmit the data to them.  They also have surveys from time to time.

Opinion Outpost - I love this site because you can earn money and cash out quickly!  It's only $10 to cash out and most surveys are worth $1 - $3.50!  It only takes a few surveys to be able to cash out.

Springboard America - I received $2.50 for my first survey, great survey site so far.

Survey Savvy - BBB Accredited site.  You can also install software onto your computer to earn even more.

Toluna Surveys - This site is fun.  I actually got a survey that turned into a 28 day study.

Valued Opinions - Another great site I have been using for several years.

YouGov - This site is a lot of fun.  The surveys are unique and unlike other survey sites.
