0 What Can I Do to Make Money On the Side That’s Not a Business?

Having trouble paying some of your bills? Need some spending cash for your family every month? Then you’ll want to stop what you’re doing and read this..

With a computer and the Internet, the world’s your oyster!

I understand how it must feel to not have enough money to pay all your bills at the end of the month or to not be able to treat your family to a nice dinner at your favorite restaurant.

More than ever I get contacted by people who just want to make a little extra money on the side without the commitment of doing a business.

I totally get that.

Yes, you can absolutely make money on the side doing various things – from filling out surveys to clicking links in emails…and everything else in between.

If you dream of having a little spending cash every month, then you’ll want to carefully look at the section below…

What Can I Do to Make Money On the Side? How About Surveys and Pay to Click Sites…

These lists will be short, sweet and to the point.

You see, people tend to not make choices when faced with too many choices. My hope for you is to get out of “analysis paralysis” mode so that you can be on your way to making some cool moolah.

With that said, here is the question I see all the time…

Do Surveys Really Work?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

However…

I’ve probably said it a thousand times on this site, but here’s my disclaimer…you’re not gonna buy a Maserati clicking links and taking surveys. There I said it.

I have to admit that sometimes I actually enjoy being the bearer of bad news because then it sets you FREE to set realistic expectations that you can actually achieve 🙂

Here’s the reality – on average what you can earn is enough money for a bill or two every month. Some guy actually posted that he’s making $1k – $1600/month just filling out surveys! More on that later…

Consistency is your best friend. Pick an amount of time that you know that you can commit to daily. At minimum 30 minutes a day. 

Here are the TOP 3 Survey Variety Sites

These sites have many ways you can earn from taking surveys, to getting paid to watch videos to getting paid to do tasks.

1. FusionCash
2. Cash Crate
3. Clixsense

Think About Mystery Shopping as a Way to Make Money on the Side

I was a BIG time mystery shopper back in the day when I unexpectedly got laid off from my job. Mystery shopping can create a nice side income in addition there are times you get small items for free, free meals, free hotel stays etc…  

There are hundreds if not thousands of companies across the United States, Canada and Australia. I’m not sure about any other countries.

Remember, you NEVER ever pay to become a mystery shopper.

Here Are Some Top Picks:

A Closer Look – They’ve been in business over 20 years! They service includes restaurants, hotels, and retail establishments.

Amusement Advantage – This company services amusement parks, bowling centers, museums, etc… This company has also been in business over 20 years. This is a great opportunity if you have children or grandchildren (or if you can borrow a niece or nephew :-).

Bestmark – A leader in this industry – has been around over 30 years! They have a wide variety of shops in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada. I worked for this company way back when.

Cirrus Marketing – Another company I used to work for. They’ve been around for ages and have a wide variety of shops including theme parks and audit shops.

Micro-Tasks, Errands…

You can get paid a few cents for doing small tasks online or you can gt paid some serious money by doing errands for others.

Micro-Tasks 

Some of those Survey sites I listed earlier have micro-tasks you can complete and earn a few cents for. In addition you have sites like:

M-Turk – This is a company that is a part of Amazon.
ClickWorker – Read this Clickworker review I did a couple of years ago.

Run Errands

Task Rabbit

Be a Driver

Uber
Lyft

Home Jobs

With these jobs you’re either employed by a company or you’re an independent contractor. Some home jobs have very strict requirements and some only hire in certain states. Make sure you read each job’s FAQ/Requirements,/Description etc before you apply.

Customer Service Agent

• Alorica
• Arise
• Live Ops
• Working Solutions

Internet Based Jobs

Lionbridge (very strict criteria – make sure you read carefully)

LeapForce – Do search engine related tasks

Zero Chaos – Rating ads online. There’s not a lot of English speaking jobs, but a ton of jobs in other languages such as Vietnamese, Russian, etc… If you speak a language fluently other than English then your odds of getting in improve greatly.

Miscellaneous

Get Paid For Writing

Constant Content
Content Gather

Become a Mail Decoy

US Monitor – Long time company that’s legit. You’ll only get a few bucks per month

I Have a Health/Physical/Mental Issues – What Can I Do to Make Money On the Side?

If you’re dealing with some sort of issue that prevents you from having to work with people, and/or if you have some sort of limited ability, know there are ways that you can still make money online…

Mystery Shopping – You can just do shops that are a lot simpler and easier to do (i.e. gasoline, drug store shops (Wal-Greens etc), apartment shops. Better yet, just do shops that only require phone call audits (no physical store visits).

Home Jobs – If you’re not into dealing people even on the phone, consider doing data entry, You can check with local businesses in your area to see if they need someone to do data entry for them. Also consider internet search type jobs like Leapforce, Lionbridge.

Online surveys can work well – if you spend several hours a day doing them like this guy. He says he makes about $250-$400 per week. The alternative to making that kind of money without filling out the surveys yourself is to get referrals – IMHO that is the better way.

Where to Start?

Clearly you don’t want join every single thing on here. The best approach is to find the one or two things that appeal to you and do those. My hope for you is that you don’t leave this site without putting together an action plan of how you intend to make money.

So, what can I do to make money on the side that’s not a business? Well, you got your answers…

Now go make some money!

0 Paid to Click: Can You Really Make a Lot of Money Doing Paid to Click (PTC)?

Discover the inside “scoop” on this phenomena called paid to click or sometimes referred to as paid to read.

It’s really quite astounding. You see an advertisement online saying you can make lots of money just by clicking a few emails everyday. You think to yourself, “This is it…I’m gonna be rich!”

After joining up you realize that you’re only getting pennies for each link you click. Pennies! This is a harsh reality that turns your happy grin upside down. Welcome to the world of paid to click.

Now if you’re new to all of this and are unfamiliar with paid to read or paid to click then you’re probably wondering what this is really all about! You may be even feeling a little out of the loop like a fish out of water.

Listen closely…. This article will explain pay to click in the most easiest and simplest way. Finally you’ll begin to get a more closer explanation as to what this is and isn’t…and how much money you can realistically make. Read on…

How Paid to Click Works

Advertisers buy views to their websites from lets just call them ad companies for simplicity’s sake. These ad companies then charge the advertisers money for getting people like you to view the advertiser’s ads. Of course the advertisers want people to buy their products.

As an user who wants to make some “cash” by viewing websites (i.e. paid to click), you sign up to these paid to click ad companies.

It sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? In reality most people go into ptc with both eyes wide shut and then wonder why they don’t make any money or get rich. What you read below will tell you the best way to make money with paid to click…and how much money you can realistically expect to make with it…

Paid to Click: How to Really Make Money With It

Any good paid to click site will not charge you money just for joining. However, if you want to max out your earning doing this kind at home money program, you’ll want to take the upgraded membership that nearly most of the paid to click sites offer.

Here’s the worst thing you can do….

Join a bunch of paid to click sites and upgrade in all of them at the same time.

Bad, bad, bad!!

As you may very well know, there are a whole bunch of scammy paid to click sites all over the Internet. In fact, there are new paid to click sites being created every single week. Why? Because a lot of these ptc owners know that:

• Paid to Click is a hot right now
• A lot of people are desperate to make money from home

Paid to click sites cannot exist without advertisers. Without people willing to advertise on these sites, there’s no way these ad companies can pay you for clicking on ads. And a lot of these ad companies couldn’t get advertisers to advertise on their site even if their lives depended upon it. And thus the scams are born.

Be Smart…This is the Better Way to Paid to Click

There are a couple of reputable paid to click sites on the Internet. This site here and this one here. All other paid to click sites you come across should be carefully looked over before joining and definitely before upgrading to a paid membership.

If you’re serious about making money with paid to click this is what you need to do in order to get the maximum earnings…

1.    Upgrade to the paid membership (usually a small monthly fee)

2.    Get referrals (once you sign up for a paid to click site, they will give you an affiliate link that leads to the paid to click site…but it’s assigned to you. So when people sign up via your affiliate link you get the credit and in turn you get paid more when click for ads.

Get consistent with your clicking of ads…i.e. do it everyday. Notice how many ads you’re given per day and if you’re being credited correctly. After a couple of weeks to a month, notice your results. And here is the big question you need to ask yourself:

Did I earn enough money that was worth my time clicking on those ads?

The Paid to Click Money…

This isn’t going to shock you too much, but you’re going to get paid pennies for all the clicking you do. Of course over time pennies do add up; but it will never ad up to you becoming rich enough to fire your boss or buy that new car you so desperately need.

However, you can make enough money to pay a utility bill or two every month…and that’s about it. For some people that may be all they need; for other people, making small bill money isn’t going to be enough especially if you’ve got big mortgage to pay or rent that’s over due.

Let’s be realistic. I’m sure you’re not learning something new that you didn’t know already. You’ve probably been hoping someone tell you the truth so you can finally stop wasting your time doing things that won’t give you results…the results that you’re looking for.

Just to Re-cap About Paid to Click

Paid to click can make you enough money to pay off small bills every month, but it won’t make you rich. The way to get the most out of paid to click sites is to upgrade your membership to a paid one and get your own referrals.

The best strategy is to start with a couple of paid to click sites like Clixsense and Neobux. 

Gradually sign up to more ptc sites (those two sites may be all that you need) after you’ve done your careful research first.

Remember if a ptc site is making wild claims of big riches overnight, odds are it’s a scam. Advertisers advertising on paid to click sites make it work. If no one is advertising (you can tell if you’re not getting sent a lot of ads to click on), then there’s no real money being made.

And if a ptc site is not making money from advertisers, then they’re making it off of people like you upgrading their memberships. Which is a very fine line to a ptc scheme that you may not want to be a part of.

The last thing you need is to have your picture plastered all over your town’s newspaper as someone being part of money scheme. Yes, that’s an extreme example but why risk your reputation and that of your family when you don’t have to?

If clicking on ads all day long is not making you enough money, you’ll want to step into the next tier of making money online…and that’s a true internet business.
