If you're looking for extra ways to make money from the comfort of your home for FREE with little to no effort then you have come to the right place!

Since signing up for these apps in December 2021, I have already earned over $400 across them just in my spare time! No scams, catches, or gimmicks. I'll be saving my personal favorite and best for last, so make sure to read all the way through!

1. Swagbucks

Swagbucks is available on your computer and as an app for your mobile phone. It is one of the most popular survey-taking platforms out there. On Swagbucks, you can earn points called Swagbucks to exchange for gift cards or direct credit to your PayPal account. They have a very wide variety of gift cards and often offer sales for some products as shown in the above image. 100 Swagbucks are equivalent to $1. Most rewards start cashing out at just $1, but there are some with higher minimums. One of the reasons that Swagbucks is so popular is that it offers various other ways to earn such as; watching videos, reading articles, participating in polls, uploading receipts, playing games, and cash back at certain stores and restaurants. Right now they are offering a $10 bonus for signing up and earning 300 Swagbucks within your first 30 days. You can sign up here: https://www.swagbucks.com/profile/r_115366765

2. InboxDollars

InboxDollars is another very popular survey site with both online and mobile app availability. InboxDollars does not use a point system so your earnings are easy to understand. Like Swagbucks you can cash out your earnings via PayPal or gift cards, however, the minimum is higher for InboxDollars. Most rewards have a minimum of $15, but some have much higher limits as shown in the image above. InboxDollars offers all the same earning opportunities as Swagbucks and some new ones, such as; earning money by redeeming coupons, paid searches, paid emails, and scratch & win cards offered after completing a certain number of tasks. When you sign up with InboxDollars you earn a $5 reward just to get you started! Use this link to sign up and start earning now: https://www.inboxdollars.com?rb=117823808&ref_src=link

3. GoBranded Surveys

GoBranded Surveys is an online-only website where you can take surveys and complete daily polls to earn points. Each point is equivalent to 1 cent. Once you accumulate 500 points you can cash in your points for credit to PayPal, a bank transfer, or various gift cards. A cool feature of this website is that it offers rankings based on the number of surveys you complete. With each ranking, you unlock higher-paying survey opportunities and faster cash-out times. You can also get a bonus for reaching a Silver ranking within a certain time frame from signing up. Try Gobranded surveys here: https://surveys.gobranded.com/users/register/c873ff22cf93fc9a1dc273023

4. Bulbshare

Bulbshare is one of the most unique survey apps in my personal opinion. Bulbshare is labeled as an "opinion community". You answer surveys that they call "briefs" and the rewards are directly sent to your PayPal account. Most rewards are anywhere from 50 cents to $1. It is important to note that rewards are sent in Great British Pounds or GBP, but they can easily be converted on PayPal's website. The best thing about Bulbshare is that the briefs are much different from typical surveys. They are more fun to participate in and often they are simply asking for you to take a picture or video of something relating to their topic. Bulbshare offers a variety of "channels" to join, each one offering its niche of what you'll be taking surveys on. Sign up here to start taking surveys the fun way: https://bulbshare.com

5. Pinecone Research

Pinecone Research is another online-only website where you can take surveys and test products to earn points. Pinecone Research is unique in a couple of ways. For starters, they don't only offer bank transfers, PayPal, and gift cards. Most rewards begin at a minimum of 100 points. Pinecone has a wide variety of different items you can have shipped to you in exchange for your points as shown in the above image. Pinecone Research is also unique because you are sent invites for surveys that directly fit your profile, so you have a much lower chance of the survey being declined partially through. Almost every survey I have done through Pinecone research has resulted in me doing product testing, then a follow-up survey, and finally an additional reward for sending the product back in. That's FOUR rewards from one survey, each step giving you 300-500 points equal to $3-$5. The only downside to Pinecone Research is that they have limited spots, so they're not always accepting new panelists. See if you can get in on the fun here: https://join.pineconeresearch.com

6. Survey Junkie

Survey Junkie runs a close second for my favorite platforms. It is available as an online website and a mobile app, however, it is important to note that few surveys are only available on the website version. Survey Junkie offers surveys earning only with a cash-out minimum of 500 points. A big upside to this platform is that they even give you points when you are declined from a survey. They also offer an extension called Survey Junkie Pulse, which runs in your background to offer you more tailored surveys, you are awarded each month for having the extension. Survey Junkie runs bonuses often for completing three surveys a day for a certain amount of days, usually 5 or 7, that land you a quick and easy 500 points. You can cash out your orders via PayPal, bank transfer, or gift cards. Points are equal to 1 cent. So yes, you are reading that right, I made $253.24 on this one platform in just 7 months as shown above. Sign up here: https://www.surveyjunkie.com

7. Qmee

Out of all the survey platforms we have discussed Qmee is by far my favorite one! This platform is available online and as a mobile app, like Survey Junkie, some of their surveys are only optimized for a web browser. Qmee offers a wide range of surveys which usually pay close to $1 a survey if not more and usually take no more than 10-15 minutes to complete. They also have rewards for the following: daily pop quizzes, daily polls, cash back at a variety of retailers and for some in-app purchases, and playing games for money. Qmee lists your earnings in a dollar format, so they're easy to understand. You can cash out via PayPal, gift cards, or donate some of your earnings to a charity. The best thing about Qmee for me is that there is no cash-out minimum! With many easy high-paying surveys, you can easily rack up $234.53 like I did as shown in the above picture, or even more! Sign up and cash out with no minimum here: https://qm.ee/5EB0F541

Conclusion

Whether you are a stay-at-home mom looking to contribute some money to the bills like me, or you just need some extra money for gas or groceries this week! These platforms are guaranteed to help you earn money fast and free!
