Hey,
I hope you had a nice holiday! I spent time with my family and we enjoyed ourselves, ate good food, played games and watched movies. It was a total vibe. I love the holidays and I feel so blessed.
Ok, here is a quick win for you.
But, let me be transparent…
This is incredibly easy, you need requirements to do this
It’s free
It’s super boring
You can do it 24/7, as much or as little as you want
Its pays via Paypal, Venmo, and gift cards
I’ve been doing this off and on for years and I did it most recently last week and made about $70 from it, in less than 30 minutes.
So, $140/hour worthy, absolutely!
What is this quick win money maker?
Paid online surveys.
Some people cringe at these. I used to but, there’s a smart way to do it and it can make you up to $720/mo or more, with a strategy.
My blog post talks about my $500/mo strategy.
This is not a business. I wouldn’t call it a side hustle either. Just a way to make a little extra cash.
You get paid to share your personal opinion taking paid online surveys.
These are conducted by market research companies. They are super easy and because of that, they pay low, like $5/survey but, there are some that go up to $10 to $15 per survey, upwards of $500/survey.
The $5/strategy
These lower paying ones are usually fast to complete.
Complete 4-5 an hour ($25/hr) and do this 3 hours a day
3 hours/day for 5 days/week = $375/week
You’ll do $1,500/mo
The Higher Paying Ones
Mix in some $10 to $15 ones and you can make $30 to $50 an hour or more.
The ones I took for $70 in pay in under a half hour was by G2.
They do software reviews. Signup, then do some reviews and they pay $10 to $15 each.
After the first $10-$15 one, they’ll offer you some additional, usually capped at 4 and you can do all those.
The Highest Paying Ones - up to $500
These are focus groups and online panels. They are a longer, more intensive survey. You are asked questions, it can be done 100% virtually but, sometimes, it may require a phone interview or virtual meeting or virtual group meeting.
You have to fit the criteria, they aren’t all gonna fit.
Here’s what I mean…
This one is for twins and siblings of twins in NYC so, it’s not gonna work for everyone.
Some are more general….
Here’s how you start…
First, I would sign up to 2-4 of these companies. I’d set up a separate folder in your email inbox or a new email so you can organize this a bit (optional).
Then, start doing surveys.
Some give you a bonus when you sign up. They are all FREE to join.
Nielsen Mobile Panel (BONUS) - this is an app you put on your phone that studies your data. You earn passive income from it every month. Not paid surveys but, a free income passive income earner.
Each company is different. Some pay in rewards or points that you redeem for Paypal cash, Venmo or gift cards. Some go straight to gift cards (no rewards or points).
There you go!
Again, not a business or side hustle, just an extra income earner. A quick win!
Best,
Jenn
