ways to pull in some extra cash!!!
If you are like me and looking for a few ways to earn some extra cash in your down time… you can sign up for the following programs.
Hits4pay offers a way to get paid for reading ads and when you sign up they give you a $10 bonus. They pay you an average of .02 cents per ad. The process is as follows:
Get an alert in your e-mail that you have new ads waiting.
Click on the follow through link to be taken to the Hits4pay site.
On the main page after logging in you will see a big ad.
Follow the link to the advertiser’s landing page.
Hits4pay then counts down [usually a minute]. During this time you cannot browse away from the advertiser’s site.
at the end of the time you will be alerted that you can now browse away from the site and your account has been credited.
The next site is Amazon’s Mechanical Turk.
From Wikipedia’s description: The name Mechanical Turk comes from “The Turk“, a chess-playing automaton of the 18th century, which was made by Wolfgang von Kempelen. It toured Europe beating the likes of Napoleon Bonaparte and Benjamin Franklin. It was later revealed that this ‘machine’ was not an automaton at all but was in fact a chess master hidden in a special compartment controlling its operations. Likewise, the Mechanical Turk web service allows humans to help the machines of today to perform tasks they aren’t yet suited for.
The way you make money is by enrolling in the program. Then search for “Hits” Human Intelligence Tasks to complete. Some hits will pay you .01 and some will pay you $7. It depends on the difficulty and duration.
I’ve seen some requests to submit screenshots [EASY!] to transcribing a 30 minute podcast[EASY but time consuming]. You can also get paid for blog articles and performing research.
Again, this is not a get rich quick scheme and it is legitimate. You probably won’t be able to buy a dream car with your paycheck… But you could put a gallon of gas or two in your current vehicle.
Let me know if you strike it rich or have your own ways to bring in some extra cash on the web!
