These sites have been wonderful, and I honestly get so excited awhile doing them because I know that I'm making tons of extra money with my spare time. After I had a lot of people interested in how I do this, I decided to make this step by step guide that will include how much time it takes me to do each task, and how much money per month I earn from it (+ earnings I've seen from other people.) I also will include tips + tricks that will make it so much easier for you that I haven't seen anyone else mention before! Now into the good part.
Part One: The Side Hustles
Survey Sites
Survey Sites are websites that you can do Surveys on and earn rewards for completing those surveys. They are favorite through everyone I've seen because you can do Surveys over pretty much anything. I've had some over makeup products, movies, food, etc. It's something great if you want to put your opinion out there from who you are buying from.
*Surveys can range in times, do not accept a survey if it is long but not having a big pay out ( By big I mean around 80 cents to $2.00.) It will seriously be a waste of time. I like doing a bunch of smaller ones, and I've noticed that racks up my points faster!*
1. Survey Junkie (30 minutes - 1 hour $120 a month)
Survey Junkie is my favorite survey site I have ever tried, and I have tried A LOT. If I am really pushing at this site, and really paying attention I can earn a extra $10 per day off of this site. $10 a day may not seem like much but at the end of the month that can be $300. This site is perfect to sit on the couch and watch some Netflix & do surveys. Plus sometimes you get to see new products they are coming out with or movies that no one else knows about! Click here to sign up.2. Swagbucks (30 minutes - 1 hour $50 - $100 a month)
I feel as if Swagbucks is one of favorites from everyone, and I can see why. I have been using this site for years, and it has never let me down. Stephen & I use to barley have money to go on dates, so we would hop on Swagbucks and earn some money, then go on our date! The best way I have earned money from here is signing up for other sites through the discover tab. It's the fastest, and easiest way to earn the money. They will even pay you to clip coupons, like how cool is that?! This is another one that I recommend doing while watching TV, or a movie. Click here to sign up.
3. InstaGC (15 - 30 minutes per day $20 a month)
This one is personally new to me. The site has been around forever, but I just recently heard of it. When I tried it I was really confused on how to earn money from it, but a few Reddit posts later and I finally learned and I 100% recommend it! It's the one with the lowest payout, you can get a $1 gift card unlike other sites & it's instant! I have a feeling that I'll be earning so much more from this site, but since it is very new to me that's why I just said $20 a month. If you need a fast gift card for anything I recommend this site. Click here to sign up and get 10 free points.
4. InboxDollars (10 minutes per day $30 a month)
This was the first site like this I ever signed up for years ago. I just signed up again around 3 days ago and I already earned $30. I'm sure you can make more per month but I only want to say what I've earned. They also give you tickets to enter in Sweeps (chances to win money!) My favorite part of this whole site is the fact that they have their own little email box. Why is that awesome? Because every email that you open and click confirm this paid email, you get 1 cent for. You could easily earn $30 just by doing that each month. Plus you get $5 for free when you first sign up. Easy money, guys. Click here to sign up and get that $5.
5. Vindale Research (10 - 20 minutes $20 a month)
I haven't honestly used this site very much, I normally go on this one if I am not having anything new pop up on the other sites. But please don't take it as this site isn't good! This one for sure has the highest pay outs on surveys I've ever seen! It is worth it if you just want to do longer ones that has the higher payouts. I do believe they are picker though, because it takes a little to find one that you get accepted for but once you do, it's fantastic. Plus you get $2 free once you finish their tutorial. Free money is always great to me. Click here to get $2 for free!
Short Task Sites
Short task sites are the websites that are going to give you a chance to earn more money. You get to work at the pace you want, and do as many tasks as you would like each day. This is my favorite way to earn money because I am more in control. This is something you could also do while watching your favorite TV show or movie, or jam out while doing them. To explain the tasks a little bit, you are doing this for different companies. I have for sure seen people earn $2000+ a month doing these along with the surveys, so if you really want to put some hard time into it (or you are a stay at home mom) you can for sure earn a lot of money.
*There are tasks you are able to do from your phone also!*
1. ClickWorker (1 hour - 2 hours $100 a month)
I love this site so much. It is so much fun to me! They have a different platform through their site called UHRS, and that is where I earn a lot of my money from this site. After you sign up for ClickWorker they will have you do a simple test to see if you qualify to work on that platform. All they ask you is simple English questions, and things like that! Then the tasks are easy and simple, you earn so many cents per task and you do them in batches. They add up really fast, and if you really spend time on this you could earn way more then $200 a month. Sign up for ClickWorker!
2. Amazon Mturk (4+ hours $200-$400 a month)
Amazon Mturk is the most popular Short Task Site. Don't get scared by the 4+ hours, that's just how many hours I spend on there! I could also make way, wayyyyy more money but I get distracted by my cat super easy and other things. I have worked with Amazon, Pinterest, and other companies with this one! You can sign up for Amazon Pay and get it transferred to your bank account, or just get Amazon gift card balance like I do. Stephen and I treat ourselves to Amazon everyday now! Haha. I have seen people make $2000+ a month off this site alone.
3. Microworkers (15 minutes - 30 minutes per day $20+ per month)
I spend little amount of time each day on this site. I only check it to do simple tasks like retweeting something, liking a Facebook page, etc. I like it but I prefer spending a lot of my time on the other sites. It's something simple, so sign up!
Random
I have a few little more things that I do because I really love to do them. They earn me little money normally but it doesn't matter much, because it is something I can do while I'm in between working on the other sites, or while out and about.
1. ShopStyle Collective (5 minutes per day)
I spend most of my time on Pinterest, so when I found this site it made me so happy. You pin clothes from your favorite stores, and you earn money per click on that Pin. You have to have $100 in your account to cash out, but I'm not to worried about earning a ton of money from this because I enjoy doing it. Feel free to take it more seriously though, and earn a crap ton of money from just pinning! Sign up here.
2. Ebates
I only use Ebates when I'm shopping online. You earn cash back from all of your favorite sites, and it's great. When I am shopping online from the money I earn from other sites, I turn on Ebates and earn some of that right back! Sign up now.
Part two: Tips + Tricks
Sub Reddit's To Check Out
All of the Reddit forums I will be mentioning really helped me when I was starting out this journey. Without them I would of been really lost on how to make the most out of these sites. Some of them post monthly what they make from each site so you can see what you can make, and also find some new sites! Checking these daily is highly recommended because a lot of users will post when they find something high paying, or they are there to help you. Please take a minute to make an account, download the app, and subscribe to each of these.

Things to Remember
* You will not get rich from this, these are tools to help you save and earn more money.
* Don't take it too seriously! I think what makes them so great is the fact they are fun.
*Watch Netflix, listen to music, have a survey party with your friends, anything to help with the fact you are going to be staring at a computer.
*Important* I make a second email to sign up for all the sites. They will send you things through your email, and it can seem spamy at some points. Also, when signing up for other sites through like Swagbucks or InboxDollars, the second email comes in handy so you are not getting a crap ton of emails.
That is all I am going to mention in this post, so it doesn't get way to long! If you would like me to make another post on how you can earn money from your phone let me know! If you have any questions I am always happy to answer them. Happy money earning!
