50 Ways To Make Extra Money For The Holidays!

Survey Sites
One of the most popular ways to make money online is surveys. Let me be clear up front; surveys won’t make you rich. You can expect a small extra income from these. You also have to qualify for surveys, which can be a very frustrating process. If you are eligible for surveys, you can make a decent little extra income. Here’s a list of survey sites that are legitimate.
- PaidViewpoint (Favorite)
- Opinion Outpost
- SpringBoard America
- Global Test Market
- Harris Poll
- Vindale Research
Reward Sites
Reward sites are probably my favorite way to make extra money online because they offer a wide variety of ways to earn. Reward sites pay you to take surveys, watch videos, visit websites, play games, and much more. You usually earn points which you can exchange for gift cards or cash payments. Here’s a list of awesome reward sites that can make you extra cash this holiday season.
- Swagbucks (Favorite)
- Fusion Cash (Favorite)
- Earnably
- InstaGC
- PrizeRebel
Usability Testing
Website and App owners are looking for feedback from normal people. That makes usability testing an easy way to make some extra income. While recording your screen and voice, visit a website and give feedback. Most sites pay $10-$12 per 20-minute test!
English Second Language Tutoring Apps
Are you fluent in English? You can get paid to talk to English Second Language students directly through an app on your phone! Most of these sites pay $10-$12 an hour!
- PalFish App (Favorite)
- NiceTalk App
- Native Talk App
Browser Extensions
Browser Extensions are an easy way to make extra money. These take a few minutes to set up; after you can earn money forever. Some of these browser extensions do track how long you stay on websites, so if you’re uncomfortable, I suggest skipping these opportunities.
- Qmee (Favorite)
- Savvy Connect
- Cross Media Panel
Mystery Shopping Apps
With the apps listed below, you can get paid to visit local stores and give feedback. These are location based if you live in a big city more opportunities will be available. Most “mystery shops” take less than 20 minutes to complete and pay $1-$10.
Run Errands/Delivery Apps
Another way to earn extra money is by making deliveries in your local area. Again these are location-based apps; some are only available in select cities. Most drivers say that make $10-$15 an hour.
- Task Rabbit
- DoorDash
- We Go Look
- Postmates

I love to make extra money, and now it’s even easier on your smartphone. You can get paid to do almost anything on your phone, here’re a few apps I use all the time!
