Making Easy Money - Fast, Free, and Automated Online!

Alright, here I will share some information that I've learned recently on how to make an income online, for free, with little effort. 

I was recently laid off and like most people once you hit a situation like this or even if you just want to supplement your existing income - This is a damn good way to do it!

I made $86 this week in my free time doing basically nothing. It's surprisingly easy to make a little extra spending cash through Vindale Research (short online surveys) and Amazon mech Turk. Through Vindale you also get bonuses for referring people (so of course I will list my link here as every bit counts) also using this link gets you a starter bonus ($5 Free credited to your account) too after you complete your first survey (once it's finalized, takes a day or so)

Since I got laid off from work I've started doing online survey stuff through here and Amazon's new program mechanical turk (more on that later) and it's helped out. It's nice to get some extra money at home for basically nothing. 

By the way, I signed up on there over a month ago and a friend reminded me -- at the beginning of signing up with Vindale they ask a bunch of "yes or no" questions to see if you want to sign up for other services. To each their own but I would say just hit no on all of them to get to the actual paid surveys. Once you get past the BS once you never have to see it again and after logging in it takes you right to the "studies" page which has your paid surveys. Just figured I would let everyone know!

And believe me, I had my doubts when I started on there because of all the "sign up for all this crap" when you sign up I had questioned if they would actually pay out so I waited until I got to the first pay time and stopped use and waited to see if I would really receive a check and to my somewhat surprise they sent me a check for $50! Ever since then I kept going and they really do pay out every time you make it to a pay period (twice a month checks are cut, they offer Paypal deposits too but I didn't want to go that route to start with).

$20 Free per person guaranteed, No effort!!

Also I had everyone in my family sign up for Netspend prepaid cards recently. 
https://www.netspend.com
They have a promotion when you sign up for a new card you can enter a referral code - 3345628561 And they credit your account $20 after you "fund it" $40. I just had everyone sign up, put in $40 then withdrew the $60 and called it a day!! Using that I may a cool $100 and the only price I paid for it was a $2 withdraw fee that netspend charges to take out the cash. To minimize their fees once an account got the $20 bonus I transferred all the funds to one netspend card so I could withdraw all of the funds and only pay one withdrawal fee!

Another bonus deal a lot of you have probably heard of but I'll throw it out anyway, Swagbucks!

I just let their promotional videos play on my phone through their SBTV app whenever I am charging my phone since I'm not using it anyway and let it rack up a bunch of points. By using this referral link - 

www.swagbucks.com/refer/ixxodic 

you get a 250 point bonus after you start using it and make a few points to ensure the account is active.

Shopkick App for iPhone -- Free gift cards!

The Shopkick app you get points just for walking into a store and then even more if you take the time to scan a few things while there. Use this link for a startup bonus redeemable for a $5 gift card -

I've gotten $15 in Starbucks gift cards this month and have spent maybe a total of 15 minutes using the actual app!

Get rewards on virtually every purchase you make with Receipt Hog  -

With the Receipt Hog app for iPhone you just take a picture of virtually any receipts you get and earn points for gift cards. Use code -

And get 10 bonus "spins" on their bonus coins slot machine to get extra points towards rewards.

Every time you scan any receipt, from any store, for any amount you will get "coins" or slot machine "spins" to win extra coins and you can cash all these in for free gift card codes.

Amazon's Mechanical Turk Program

With this program through Amazon (which I'm sure all of you know and use already for shopping) you can do tasks called "Hits" to earn money. The rates paid and tasks to be completed vary wildly so it's not worth me explaining all of it here. Suffice to say there is something for everyone and if you are willing to put in the extra time to do the longer more time consuming hits (like transcription for instance) the payout will be much much higher. However just doing the smaller .75 cent, $1, $2 Hits I have already cashed out $97 for one month of minimal effort tasks.

I don't know about you but $97 for doing small tasks naked on the couch watching TV isn't a bad deal if you ask me!!

I will add more to this as I come across it but if you are just starting out on the internet money and gift card world these places are more than enough to start with. And once you get going on them you can tell all your friends and gain bonuses for referring them. Depending on how much you have done on the site some places will offer more of a bonus to your referrals than they do to people just starting out. I would imagine because of people that join and never do anything and just seek to gain referral points and nothing else.

But until next time, good luck with your money making plans!!
