How to make money online
Cashback.co.uk
If you follow me on social media, you will know Cashback.co.uk is one of my all time favourite ways of making money online. It takes a little longer than other sites, however the payout if much greater - I made £63.50 which was a nice little Xmas bonus. Sign up here! You also get £10 just for signing up via my link!
Cashback.co.uk is basically just a form of affiliate marketing where you complete 15 tasks for money. For full transparency, some of the tasks on offer require you to spend money. HOWEVER, it is also possible to complete each level without spending a penny. Lots of the tasks are things like free trials and app sign ups - just remember to cancel these!! I set a reminder on my phone.
User Interviews
The pay out on user interviews is amazing! I am a bit of introvert, so the idea of doing zoom meetings isn't of me. However, if you don't mind chatting for around an hour and giving your honest feedback, you can make hundreds / thousands in a short period. Click here to sign up!
Attapoll
Online surveys can be a bit temperamental sometimes.... but Attapoll is one of my favourites. To start with, you will receive some lower paid surveys and might get disqualified but don't panic. The more surveys you do, the more higher paid ones you are given. I now get several £2,50 surveys a day, I typically do 2 per day and make £5 per day. It may not sound much but that is an extra £35 a week and £150 a month! That extra per month can easily pay off a few of my bills. Sign up here!
Eureka
Another survey app I love is Eureka. One thing I love about Eureka is if you cash out every time you reach £4, you get a feedback survey worth £1.20. The payout is great too as there are lots of over £1 surveys. Eureka even pay if you get disqualified mid survey, you get the percentage of the survey you completed. Sign up here!
Swagbucks
Swagbucks is another app where you can earn money online. There are various tasks from surveys to scanning receipts. You collect 'sb' points which can be traded in as money or gift vouchers. Sign up here!
Can you really make good money online?
Yes! I am actually a freelancer as a profession. Meaning I make money by doing various freelance things each month, including all of the above mentioned. When we hit financial crisis a few years ago, I started doing these things for survival. Now two years later, I am able to earn a full-time salary without having to go to work under an employer! It also means I get to stay at home with my son (and puppy). Make sure to stick around to learn more ways to save and make money.
