Doing odd jobs has really helped pay my bills, pay for my children's school activities, and most importantly, pay for Christmas gifts. Plus getting free stuff is always great!
Below are some companies that offers ways to earn extra money, get freebies, or both.
Pinecone Research
It's easy and fun to see and evaluate new product ideas in the comfort of your own home by using Pinecone Research. You will earn points for each completed product survey, which can be exchanged for cash and other rewards.
PLUS you will be automatically entered into a bi-weekly Sweepstakes to win additional cash prizes for your time. Each interview usually takes 15-20 minutes of your time. Plus, you are free to leave the panel at any time should you choose to do so.
Ebates
Think of Ebates as a local mall with over 1,200 different stores but with one huge difference. Online stores pay Ebates a commission (think of it as a finders' fee) on every sale and they split this amount with the consumer. Each store pays a different commission so users will save different amounts at different stores; users just have to look at the percentage next to the store name to see how much they will save.
Inbox Dollars
Inbox Dollars pays members to read emails, take surveys online, play games, and go shopping! New enrollees also receive $5 just for joining so this offer will convert extremely well to a broad based demographic, especially users interested in freebies, surveys, sweepstakes, discounts, or coupons online money making opportunities.

OMG, Louida! You are like an endless well of monetary information. I am so bookmarking this post. I'm particularly interested in the surveys. Note to self: Must look into that.
ReplyDeleteThank you for an excellent post!
You're so welcome Courtney! Paid surveys has been my go-to place to make extra money from home. Best part is that it's always free!
DeleteI am a huge fan of Swagbucks...it's how I got my Wii...and then my XBox 360 Kinect...and will play a role in getting a Kindle Fire HDX. I LOVE them.
ReplyDeleteI will have to check out eBates more...I've seen it mentioned here and there (and even joined), but haven't really gotten into it to see all that it can do for me.
Here and there, I've made a few bucks from eSearch.com taking surveys, but lately, they've been mostly asking questions for people who are decision makers in a business.
Wow you got a Wii and a Xbox 360 from using Swagbucks! Congrats to you! I need to start using them more often.
DeleteI never heard of eSearch.com, I'll need to check them out.
My favorite is My Survey. I have cashed out with them numerous times. I will have to check out the others on your list. Thanks for linking up at #ThrowbackThursdayLP
ReplyDeleteThey are my favorite too Victoria! I have also received a lot of products to test with them.
DeleteI love Ebates. It's such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI keep hearing good things about Ebates.
