Hello!

Has anyone found a way to make extra money online be it product testing and writing reviews, or online surveys. Not looking for a big money making scheme just something to slowly build up some sort of cash flow while being a stay at home mother ???? Thanks so much!

You'll need to check this email to complete your signup.
  • There are so many survey sites now that it’s hard to keep up with them all! I’ve been involved with quite a few of them for many years, but it is so slow to build up points and/or money that it really isn’t worth the time and effort that you need to put in. It can be quite fun though so, if you do have a fair bit of time on your hands, it’s a good way to keep occupied, especially if you are not after quick or large financial gains! Good luck!


  • Try Swagbucks! They pay with PayPal. I don’t use it that much, but still I’ve already claimed 50 dollars this year.


  • For samples, sign up to Blackbox, Social Soup, Contagious, Pinch Me.
    Field agent is a pretty good app. Pays to Paypal account with no minimum required. The nine msn one has changed its name to Purkle.
    It really is only pocket money, but better than nothing.


  • I sell unused items on my local Buy Sell Swap facebook page. It’s better than ebay because you don’t have to ship the goods. I have only had one person change their mind at the last minute but had a 2nd person rush in and purchased the item.
    It is amazing what sells. It’s true about the saying “one person’s trash is another person’s treasure”.


  • Toluna is a good one, I can get either rewarded with paypal, toys or vouchers..
    MySurvey takes a while but in the end free money is free money as log as u have the time.
    Livetribe is a bit longer than the other two to gain points.
    Social Soup is a good one for produect reviews, but its difficult to fit their criteria.
    There are a few more but I Cant seem to think of them at the moment.


  • Ninemsn have a survey site. Easy to use and you get emails when surveys are ready for you. That’s about all I know


  • There isn’t many options that pay enough to make the effort worth it.


  • Im currently a mystery shopper for gapbuster its not much but you can make from 12-50 on an average job and sometimes there is some for up to around $150


  • I had a crack ages ago but it didn’t seem to pay enough for my time so l ditched the survey’s! Good luck though!


  • I’m a mystery shopper while it doesn’t pay heaps its flexible and you just do the ones your interested in


  • i have tried numerous sites and its just not worth the time …could take a month to earn as little as $5


  • I gather from previous questions and answers on surveys that the rewards are given as vouchers or gift cards? They may come with an expiry date?


  • Some survey sites will pay but it takes a while to build up a balance worth withdrawing.


  • Don’t think there is anything especially quick and easy… although have wondered about YouTube channel (with advertizing), if you can find some entertaining clips that people want to watch, or make a good series on something you know about, or have something else to say. I also think you have to link your channel/clip to GoogleAdSense (or something similar to track visits) and make sure that you get lots of views. Good luck with whatever you find!.


  • What a brilliant idea. I never thought of it, didn’t have much internet access when my kids were babies. Good luck ????
