Simple ways to earn more!

I use all of these programs to earn a little extra throughout the year. All of them are easy to follow programs that really pay!


MyPoints - This site allows you to earn points by reading emails, participating in offers & filling out surveys. I do not participate in any of the offers, so I earn all my points by reading emails and sometimes filling out surveys. They do send several emails a day but that gives you an opportunity to earn points quickly.

I just cashed in all my points for a $10 gift card to CVS (that pays for my tax!) and already I'm back to 250 points. If you are interested in joining send me an email and I will send you an invite!



Swagbucks - Basically Swagbucks is a search engine that randomly rewards you with points just for doing searches online. I earn 3-5 points a day just by searching for sites that I go to anyway like weusecoupons.com or facebook. I would recommend downloading their toolbar to make it easier to earn bucks.
There are dozens of prizes to choose from including a $5 Amazon gift card for only 45 Swagbucks! I used a few gift cards to buy Christmas gifts this year and hope to be able to do that again.




Ebates - If you ever purchase anything online, you need to sign up for Ebates. After you register at Ebates, go to their site whenever you are ready to make an online purchase and search for the website where you will be ordering. Be sure to click through the link to make your purchase and a percentage will be added into your Ebates account.
The nice thing about Ebates is that you can choose to receive a "big fat check" or they will deposit your earnings into your paypal account. They do require you to have $5.01 in your account before they will send payment, but any amount less than that will carry over to the next payout.

I received a payment of $10.68 from the Christmas shopping I did online this year. Not too shabby since I bought gifts I planned on buying anyway.

I must be out of the loop. I haven't heard of any of these! I'd be nervous that it was a scam...
