How do you make money online?

The BIG question: "Can I make money online?"

Chances are you're already doing things online that you could be earning money for! 

What?! No way! Yes! Have you done any of these?

• Searched the internet
• Played games
• Shopped
• Clip Coupons
• See Ads
• Watch Videos
• Post Links
• Free Trials
• Downloads
• Clicking
• Chat on forums
• Post pictures
• Get insurance quotes (auto, home, life)
• Listen to music
• Review items
• Ask or answer questions

If yes, 

Then you should be earning money! Several sites will pay you to do these things.

Why?! Because they get money too. When you do sign ups, watch ads, search the internet and click through sponsored links, get insurance quotes, download games, play games and see an ad before they get paid! So, they then pass on the majority of that payment to you!

Why do they give me most of it? By giving you the majority of the pay out they bring in a larger crowd of members and make much more that way.

How do they pay me? It depends on the site. Some award you points that you redeem for gift cards or prizes. Others will pay you cash by Paypal, Alert Pay, or sending you a check in the mail.

You can always email me at Homemoneyguru@gmail.com if you have additional questions, or post and i'll answer as soon as I can!

Here are the sites in order of my favorite. This is just a general list, you can read more about them by clicking the link below them, or click the bold name to go to the site and sign up right away. The more sites your on, the faster you earn. 

Swagbucks.com

Payment Proof Video Here

Ah SwagBucks(SB) my favorite site. Easily earn $20-$30 a month just by searching the internet. That may not seem a lot, but you search online anyway, why not get paid to do it? Of course there are tons of other ways to earn from SB. Playing games, polls, offers, coupons, and more. The SB staff is very active and post games, trivia, sweepstakes, videos, and more often. They give out free SB to random people for good posts, or tweeting about them. Not only can you earn a significant amount by yourself, but you can invite your friends too. Whatever they earn while searching online, you earn too!

ExpoTV.com

Awesome site that you get prizes and gift cards for uploading a short video review of a household product. You can earn by recording yourself talking about items around your house, or by testing new items and uploading a review of those. Yes, i've finally found a site you can actually get free items to test and review! I received an item worth around $80-$100 to test and review(It hasn't been released yet so I cannot disclose information due to confidentiality). This site is in my top three earning sites. Especially if you count the free product then it's my 1st or 2nd top earner. $125 in Amazon gift cards to date.

SuperPoints.com

This site is fun as you can earn with the "SuperLucky Button". Just click it to see if you've won. As well as getting random points in your email you earn with minimal effort. You can do offers and surveys as well. This site has a 5 tier referral program. You get matching points that your referrals earn. If one of your five levels of your network does a survey you will get points. So recruiting is the magic way to earn on this site.

Adf.ly

Odd name. But a huge potential earner if you post links. This site is very similar to LinkBucks, but I like it better. The link is shortened so it's easier to fit, plus you get a higher payout. $4 per 1,000 views. If your a regular of forums posting links to other threads, pictures, movies, youtube, and any other link out there you could be earning from your link for as long as people are clicking on it! Plus if you refer people you get a bonus % of what they earn(no it's not stolen from them!)

LinkBucks.com

Input your link, post the new link and watch your money grow as people click on it! If you post links of any kind(pictures, sites, videos, forums, etc) you can be monetizing it! LinkBucks gives you several options in way of earning. You can have top or side banner ads, an intermission ad, locker ad, or just shorten your the URL. Different types of ads will pay more. The great thing is that they have a 3 level referral tier. 20% of your referrals, 10% of theirs, and 2% of theirs. That can really add up! Request your payment with PayPal or AlertPay when you reach the $5 cash out limit.

CashCrate.com

Earn cash for doing things online! You earn cash, paid by check via mail once per month. One of the best things about cashcrate is the referral program. You get 20% of what your referrals make and 10% of what their referrals make. So you can have a large network doing most of the work for you. You can complete surveys, offers, watch videos, or play games. They have tournaments and they pay the top 5 players of the day/week/month. It costs a few points to enter the game. Points can be earned much like the cash, doing offers under the earn prizes tab. With points you can enter into tournaments or cash out for prizes and gift cards.

ExpoTV.com

ExpoTV.com

Earn money and prizes by reviewing your household items!

Do you own a video camera, or recording device? Like to give your opinion? Own a household item? Then throw them all together to form your video review and earn cash and prizes!

Earning with ExpoTV is easy as lights, camera, action. You can review anything you own. The more reviews you upload the more chances you have to win.

Earning

You can upload any item for an entry into their monthly prize raffel, or you can review items from your invitations list from Expo. These items are products that are in demand and need videos uploaded. Typically you'll earn 300-500 for these. Sometimes you'll get 1000-2500 if it's a really hot item.

The other way to earn is the "Most Wanted Products" list. These items are the item to have! They will fetch you 500-10,000 points per review.

Points points points! What's a point worth?! 

I only cash out for Amazon gift cards, so for me 500 points equals just over $4. So that means for every invited item I review in a 1-3 minute video I get $4 or more! That means that 10,000 point items? Yep, you guessed it 80 smackers for a 2-3 minute video review of a product you already own!

Tryology

Get paid to test items!

Yes sir! The first site that i've actually found that really gives you a free item to test and review! I have actually tested a product worth about $80 that I received for free. (Due to confidentiality I cannot post the item until it is released on the market.)

They have tryology items all the time. They range anywhere from Shampoos and ointments to hair care and electronics. 

What?! No way!

Um chyeah! They give out vacuums, electric razors, HDTV's, and more. Yes, I just said HDTV. All you have to do is sign up via their screeners, if you're selected you'll be notified by email and the product shipped out to you to test, review and enjoy.

Feel free to check out the site here and look more into their tryology program. Remember though, tryology will want you to post video reviews, so make sure you review every item you can to show them you're a good uploader/reviewer!

Referrals

Referral program is different with Expo.  When you refer a friend and they successfully upload their first video you get entered into the monthly drawing. Each month Expo gives away four $25 Amazon gift cards to the winners of that drawing. So the more friends you refer the more chances you have to win. Now, it's not my favorite referral program, but if you invite all your friends you'll have a good chance!

Even without the referrals this site is hot! One of my favorites by far, and in my top three as far as earnings. (1st or 2nd if you count the tryology item I received)

So click here to sign up, or to find out more about how awesome this site is.

Adf.ly

Adf.ly

Link shortener that earns you cash!

Yes, it's totally true. This site is similar to linkbucks, but i've found that adf.ly pays higher than linkbucks.

How do you do it?

Post! Do you talk on forums? Do you ever post pictures? Chat in IRC? Send emails? Then you can be monetizing it! Simply input your link of a youtube video, picture upload, website, forum thread, any link link to another page. Post your link and you'll be earning when people click through.

There are ways that you can maximize your earnings such as having good quality posts. Don't just spam your links. Write a good item review, or a really interesting post on the forums and have an adf.ly link to a website, picture, video, etc. If it's a good thread/video/post then a lot of people could be clicking through your links. But don't stop with just one! Shorten all your links!

Do you own a website or blog? You can be earning when people view your site or blog. Simply copy and paste adf.ly's code into your site/blog and you'll earn regardless of whether or not they click on your links.

Payment

Adf.ly pays via PayPal and AlertPay. They have an easy cash out limit of $5. This is only about 1000 views. Pretty easy especially if you have a few good posts with your links in them. They pay on the first of the month your total balance if you meet the minimum $5. If not, it rolls over into the next month

Referrals

Think it can't get any better? Think again! You can refer others to this site as well! You earn 20% commission off of what they earn!

Think about how easy it is to post links. Think about all your friends that are posting links too! Your links plus your friends links can be earning you money! Grow your network, invite all your forum, IRC, blog, youtube, and website buddies to join you. Just tell them how easy it is to earn!

CashCrate.com

CashCrate.com (Many countries, mainly English speaking)

Earn cash for completing offers!

Yes, they give you straight cash instead of points. They pay via check, and I have received, and cashed my check from them.
CashCrate is open to many countries. English speaking countries will have the most offers though.

Rewards

Straight cash! Paid by check. No points or gift cards, just sweet lovely green paper.

You can earn this in a few ways.

• Offers
• Shopping(cashback)
• Videos
• Surveys
• Games
• Referrals

Offers

Same as usual. Do sign ups, downloads, etc etc to earn cash.

Shopping

Earn cash back on your purchases made through their links. There are lots of sites to earn from.

• Apple iTunes
• Walmart
• Office Depot
• FootLocker
• Microsoft
• Tiger Direct

All you do is click on the link to that site on the CashCrate shopping page and anything you purchase you will get cash back. The cash back amount differs from 1%-15% so it's really quite nice.

Videos

Just watch videos and earn 1-5 cents. There isn't always a very large selection of them.

Surveys

Just like all sites surveys aren't that easy to get into. If you try for a few and don't qualify I wouldn't waste your time. Sometimes I think surveys are scams. They make you answer all these questions to 'qualify' and your denied. I think those questions are a survey in and of themselves! I should be paid!

Games

You can win points to cash out for prizes like gift cards. It's a tournament, they have daily weekly and I think monthly. I only participated once, and I think it costs you points to enter them. I'm unsure I don't use this site for games I use another.

Referrals

You get 20% of what your referrals earn, and 10% of what their referrals earn. If you gain enough referrals you go up a rank and earn more.

They have a neat earning opportunity though. When your referrals get their first $10 you earn a $3 bonus. Or once you have referred X amount of people you can choose to get $1 per referral you get from then on. So if you're good at getting referrals, but they don't stay to earn that $10 you would want to opt in for the $1 per referral.

I've seen MANY people on their forums with 1-2k+ referrals in 1-2 years. That's not bad.. $2,000 just to refer people to a site?? Sweet!


So click here to sign up and start making money with me.

Superpoints.com

Superpoints  - (USA only)

Possibly the easiest site to earn on.

I'm at  $5 in a few weeks without ANY offers. NO referrals. Hardly any work at all.

Earnings

You're awarded "SuperPoints" for anything you do (or don't do! see below) on site. These are cashed out for gift cards at a ratio of 1:1 meaning they are worth a penny each. They also have other prizes, but as always I go for gift cards.

How to earn

You can earn on Superpoints with

• Super Lucky Button
• Offers
• Referrals
• Surveys
• Super Lucky Mail

First i'll tell you about Super Lucky Mail because it's my favorite part. It's easy. You just get random emails saying you've won "x" amount of points. You click the link and you're awarded them. I've gotten a lot of these, they take no time, and no effort. It's not a lot, but hey! No effort earning??

Super Lucky Button

Another thing I like. You just click the button and see if you've won! You get 30 clicks a day, you can get more after you've referred people. I actually think the button is fun. It's mindless, no effort clicking. Don't have to pay attention, you just WIN randomly.

They have updated the button so if you win 25 or more superpoints you're given a unique referral link. If your friend signs up with this link you BOTH get 200 points!!! That's $2 worth!!

Referrals

Like all sites you earn via referring friends. Unlike other sites when you refer someone you get 25 points(25 cents) OR if you invite them with the unique referral link from winning 25-200 super points with the lucky button you AND your friend will BOTH earn 200 points when they sign up! 

Not only this, but you earn from 5 levels of referrals. This means that the person you referreds referrals referrals referrals referrals(OMG my head is spinning!!!) will be making you points!

Ok so what that means without getting a headache is best explained with a picture. So as you can see, a lot of earning potential just form referrals.

The only time you earn from all your 2nd-5th level referrals is when one does a survey. Still, with all those people there is a very large chance some people will be doing them, especially if you refer a lot, and any one of them refers a lot. The picture above does not accurately portray how many referrals you could really have.

Even if you only refer one person. If that person only referred 2, and then those 2 referred 2, you're already at 7 referrals. If we continue with this pattern upto tier 4 you have 15 referrals. Now any one of those people could potentially be an expert referrer and refer hundreds. Now you have Hundreds of referrals.
Imagine your first level referral has 50 referrals. That makes your second level tier of 50 people, now if they only refer 2 ea... That's 100 in your third! As you can see the earning capabilities are endless.

As the site grows they will give better rewards from referrals, so get in now, and start referring to build up your network.

Surveys

You can do surveys, and when you're a gold member you get points when your referrals do surveys too!

Levels of membership

Basic, gold, and platinum. Each new tier is attained through completing your profile and/or inviting more friends. With their 5 level of referrals there is a lot of earning potential. 

And I think that button is fun :)

SwagBucks.com

Swag Bucks

Make Money Online Searching (USA UK CA only)

Is it possible??

Yes it is, and actually this is currently my Number 1 site.

My PAYMENT PROOF video is HERE!

With Swag Bucks you have a variety of ways to make money doing the things you already do online.

• Searches
• Games
• Polls
• Coupons
• SwagBucks TV

As well as:

• Surveys
• Trade Ins
• Special Offers
• Daily Deals
• And more..

Rewards

SwagBucks currency is called just that, "Swag Bucks" at the moment each swag buck is equivalent to $0.011 so just over a penny. You can cash out for gift cards to many many places including amazon, paypal, home depot, target, walmart, etc. Or you can shop for tons of different prizes. 

If you don't do the offers a lot, and don't recruit don't worry about this complicated stuff, just focus on the $5 cards, or any other rewards.

I do the gift cards. I buy five $5 gift cards(limit is 5 of an item per month) then I save the rest till next month, and save them up for the $500 card. I do this because the $5 card is an exchange rate of .011 the next card up is a rate of .007 and about that all the way until $500 which is a rate of .009 so almost a penny.

I will go a little more in depth into each of these areas now.

Searches

Easiest way to earn SB! Make sure to add them as your default search engine to maximize your profits!

This is a swagbucks bill

You earn these by simply searching like always. Once you've signed up just click here to learn how to set them as your default search engine. Simply scroll down to the Chrome/Firefox/Safari plugins part and click on the + it'll take less than a minute to set them as default.

The toolbar is your second option, but I don't use it as I find it makes me lag just a tiny bit, and if you use a lot of tabs, that can add up a lot!

Why use them as your default? With SB search engine I earn at least $10, and upto $50 a month just by searching!

Also, fridays are Mega Swag Bucks Day(MSBD) in which you have a higher chance of getting swag bills over 10. Many winners of 20+ and there are a few lucky winners of 1,000 and 10,000 swagbucks on MSBD.

Why aren't you earning yet? Sign up here! Or scroll on to read about getting paid to play games!

Games

They have a multitude of flash games. You earn 2 SB every two games you play. It's only equivalent to 2 cents, but do you get paid for gaming normally?? There are some fun games, some are pretty quick and some are long, so you could rack up a bunch of points with the short games.

Coupons

You get points if you print out a coupon and use it. Saving money... and getting some back! Why not?

SwagBucks TV

Basically it's YouTube videos from different groups. They have celebrity news, movie previews, tech episodes, animal planet type thing, DIY projects, tons of them. After you watch 45 seconds of video your swag bucks meter goes up 10% when it's full you earn 3 swag bucks. This isn't a lot unless you think, heyy I can multitask! Clean up my room click every 45 seconds, surf the net, click every 45 seconds... It takes a second to click to the next video. You can get the 3 swag bucks 25 times a day for a total of 75. A $5 amazon gift card is 450 points, so 6 days of clicking for a second each and you got $5!! Plus a lot of the videos are actually interesting.

Special Offers/Surveys 

Same as other sites. Though imo i've seen a lot of offers on this site that pay more than other sites. There are TONS of free special offers, and lots of videos you can watch for easy bucks. I haven't tried the surveys except for like twice, if you don't qualify you still get 1-2 swagbucks for trying, so its still nice.

Referrals

This is a unique referral site. They don't give you a percentage of what your friends win, they match it. That is, the points they win while searching. But I mean you ALREADY search online, just use them as your default search and do it like normally. It's possible to get .50-$1 a day just searching. So if you invite all your friends... Help them setup SB as their default search provider... Cha ching?

Haha, so click here and sign up. Ask away if you need help!
