✔ LOVE TAKING SURVEYS? JOIN PAID VIEW POINT!

Plus, the surveys are short, about three minutes each. Sign up at Paidviewpoint.com to receive alerts when a survey becomes available. You can cash out once you reach $15— it’ll be in your Paypal account within 72 hours. Bonus: You’ll get a bonus just for signing up. Refer friends, and you’ll make 20% of what they earn, too!

✔ SHOP ONLINE? CHECK OUT SWAGBUCKS!

Swagbucks lets you earn points for every dollar you spend at more than 1,500 online stores, including Amazon, Walmart and Target. Sign up at Swagbucks. com, then follow the easy instructions to install the Swagbucks browser extension and use it when shopping. You’ll earn about $1 for every 100 points you accumulate and can cash out when you earn 500 points. You can be paid via Paypal, often within 48 hours. Bonus: Make more money on Swagbucks by answering surveys, using its browser, playing games and watching videos. Tip: Keep videos on in the background while you’re doing other stuff to rack up points effortlessly!

✔ SPEND TIME SURFING THE NET? INSTALL QMEE!

Qmee is a browser extension you can install on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer and so on. Then when you do ordinary searches on Google, Amazon, ebay, Yahoo or Bing, you’ll see a Qmee sidebar pop up with sponsored ads relevant to your search. Just click the ad, and a few cents instantly gets deposited into your Qmee piggy bank.
