We’ve all been there. You’d like to go to the bar with your friends tonight, but you won’t have any more money until payday. You have already searched through the couch cushions and under the seats in your car. You’ve got….$1.72. That’s not going to work, is it?
What if I told you that there are ways you can make extra money easy and fast, without having to borrow money from your mom again?
Here are some easy ways that you can pick up a little extra cash:
Playing Video Games – No seriously. You can make money doing what you are probably already doing. There are several apps available for both iOS and Android that will pay you to play games. Some of them are game testing apps that pay you to try out new games, and others are casino type games of chance. Check out Mistplay, Lucky Miner, or Lucktastic to start. There are many others you could check out everyday.
Rewards range from movie theatre, retail store, restaurant or gas station gift cards, to cash or VISA gift cards.
Completing Surveys – Survey Junkie will pay you to answer questions. Why? Because businesses have a lot of questions that they want to ask potential customers. They pay companies like Survey Junkie to ask those questions, and you get paid to answer them.
What kind of questions? All kinds of questions. Questions on every topic. You may answer questions about:
- Yourself
- Your favorite music
- What kind of car you drive
- Your education level
- Your medical history
- Foods you eat
- Consumer products you have in your home
And much more. You can choose the surveys you want to complete. The rewards are generally similar to those you would receive from playing video games, such as gift cards.
Rent out your home with Airbnb, HomeAway, etc.
Have travel plans? Why not rent out your home or apartment while you are away? Airbnb and HomeAway offer homeowners the opportunity to rent out their place for as many nights as you want.
You don’t even need travel plans. If you can find a couch to crash on for a few nights, you can make a few bucks letting somebody stay in your home.
Note: Make sure you are allowed to rent your home out. If you are a renter, for example, you can’t do this without speaking to your landlord or property manager. Some cities and towns have restrictions as well.
With these easy steps, you can set yourself up for free meals, entertainment or even cash. You know that girl you like? Use your rewards to take her out for a movie, or to a nice restaurant. Take your mother out for Mother’s Day so you can finally be her favorite son. Or just order a pizza to eat while you play even more video games for even more rewards.
See what I mean? You are about to get very popular.
