Legitimate Way to Earn Money Online?

You hear of those super-duper offers to earn money online all the time. It's actually really easy to find websites that offer that kind of thing but every time I research it further it turns out that it's a scam or at least may be a scam.

So here's the question: is there an actual, honest way to earn money online by doing something simple like completing surveys, testing stuff etc, or is it all just snake oil?

I don't mean big bucks. I mean something that would just allow me to earn beer money by utilizing the time I normally waste procrastinating.

One example would be the google surveys app. Every time you answer a few questions, you get money for the google play store.

There used to be an app a while back where you could watch 30 second ads and do other stuff like that to earn points, which could later be redeemed for small scale ($5) gift cards to different stuff. You can also simply use bing and collect bing Rewards for simply searching. Again, small scale gift cards for the most part but it's essentially free money.

The aforementioned are for US residents (bing, most survey sites, mturk). You can freelance your skills or try some labor like Humanatic. Microtask seems to be an mturk alternative but YMMV since I never heard of it before today. :P

I'm glad you asked. I'm a Nigerian prince in need of funds. You were recommended to me as trustworthy by someone very high up. If you forward me only 3000 dollars US to help me obtain my inheritance, I will repay you several times over. Please contact me immediately via private message immediately.

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!

you can do Points2shop. It's a real thing that people do and tons of photo evidence to prove it. however be aware that it will take awhile.

That Humanatic thing sounds tempting. Have you been using it? How much can you realistically get there per month?


As for the Google Survey and Bing things, I wasn't even aware of those. Probably exactly because they aren't available for Poland (as per freakin' usual. Looking at you, Youtube Red), but there are ways around it if I use a proxy. Insert Linus praising TunnelBear here xD

Huh... it's actually occurred to me now that I could make CSGO skins. Probably not super good ones but I probably have enough Gimp skills in me to make some cheap ones. Gonna look into that, I think...

Hahah, yes, I'm a guy but let's just say that I very much doubt that anyone would be willing to pay to see me naked. I might have more success if I just walk around naked and have people pay me to put my clothes back on xD

If you do the job right and get past the beginning stages, probably $100-$500 a month. I haven't tried it myself but I know someone who has and makes a living off of it, so it's possible depending on your overhead and skills. :)

Look into the screenwisepanel. It's a Google advertisement program were they send you a free router, then have you install an app on your devices to monitor your data usage. They pay you around 45$ a month and give you a 100$ incentive to setup your router. From what I know you can only be invited but I know people who just bugged them by emailing then and got invited.

earn.gg let's you watch videos with ads for bitcoins and do surveys. I've got about £10 worth of bitcoins from doing not a lot. It's not enough to earn a living off.
