Record your voice and earn cash!



here is an interesting way to earn a few bucks that i discovered through members of coolworkideas.com. with lionbridge you simply record yourself saying back the phrases listed on the screen. i just did this a few days ago and it was an easy $15 paypal.

here's some info:
--my particular assignment was to record 530 different phrases. at first i was thinking, OMG, that is a ton of work, but i was able to do it in about 40 minutes.
--it is a pain to continually hit 'record' and 'stop' and then 'record', then 'stop', over and over and over. you just need to get into a rhythm and take a break if you need to every 100 phrases or so.
--i did mess up and mispronounce a few words (it gets monotonous!). i also noticed a few phrases failed to upload correctly. even so, i was notified within 48 hrs. that my assignment was accepted and marked as complete. so don't panic if you flub a few times!
--phrases are things typical things you may ask a digital assistant---like 'where is the springfield post office?' or 'Elena, what does dubious mean?' most seem normal yet some will make you do a double take!

from my invitation email: 

The task can be done at home or other quiet place using Android devices (phone/tablet) or any computer with Chrome browser and a microphone.  Android devices are strongly preferred.

What you need before you start:
  • An Android device (phone/laptop) with the latest Chrome browser  OR  A computer with the latest Chrome browser and a microphone/headset.  iPhones/iPads will not work for this task
  • An internet connection (wi-fi is recommended if you use a mobile device), always active while you do the task
  • About 1 hour of available time.  You can split the task into smaller sessions




    i even think it is worldwide! sign up here: https://fs30.formsite.com/LB2014/form92/ and then just wait to be approved and receive your first assignment---good luck!

Donate your DNA and earn $$$.



a friend of mine shared this site in a group i belong to and the site is really pretty cool. register to be in the DNAsimple database and if a researcher requests your DNA you get $50! your DNA will always be anonymous and you can say you helped science! even if you don't have any conditions/illnesses and are in perfect health researchers still need control groups for each study. as they put it, DNA donations equal faster cures. help speed up science and get compensated along the way! if a researcher is interested in your DNA they will mail you a saliva kit and pay you $50--it is completely free to donors.

registering takes only a few minutes and is currently available to residents of canada and the united states. DNA simple is based out of philadelphia, PA and you can check out their fb page.

REGISTER HERE.

from their site:

What exactly is DNAsimple?
DNAsimple is the match-maker of the genetic research world. If there is a study out there that needs participants like you, we'll tell you about it and let you decide if you want to participate or not. If you decide to participate, we'll pay you for doing so! Even better, our match-making platform is 100% anonymous, so no one can see your identity. 
For donors, the basic steps are:
     1. Sign up for a free account at DNAsimple
     2. Provide basic demographic information, such as age and height
     3. Fill out a brief medical history
     4. Wait a few seconds while we check for studies you can donate to
     5. If you don't qualify now, we'll automatically notify you when you do
     6. Review any study you match and decide if you want to participate
     7. If you participate, complete a saliva kit at home and be compensated!

so there it is. it's free, it's private and if chosen you get $50--plus the added bonus of knowing you are helping science!

A fun and fresh new GLOBAL survey site---PointClub Surveys

sign up here ➡️  https://www.pointclub.com/register

just discovered this site and so far i am really digging it. the layout and language are fun and cheery and the payouts are more than typical survey sites. if you want to add another site to your roster definitely add pointclub surveys! and they are available in many countries--not just north america!

there are always lots of available surveys and i love that you can look at all of them and clearly see the time and incentives for each. they also reward you 12 dnq pts. for up to 5 surveys per day--that's 6 cents for not completing a single survey--not much but it's something.

the people behind pointclub are a research company called innovate market research. this is their own survey site so the surveys are fresh and different from the millions of samplicious and isay surveys we are used to.




they also have a bonus streaks where you actually earn more per survey when you visit the site consecutive days so the decent paying surveys are worth even more! and they do bonus sweeps codes that you can find on their fb page.



they also have cash outs beginning at $25 and have about every gift card under the sun available--including paypal! currently there is no referral system in place--but everyone that does sign up starts with $5 instantly.


i just joined so i don't have much more to say but so far i love this site and plan on visiting it daily to get my 5 dnq's if nothing else. i hope you enjoy pointclub as well! i am over halfway to cashing out and have only visited the site 4 times!




good luck everyone!

Earn Extra Cash with EarnHoney.



i said before 2017 was going to be my year to really hit the GPT app/trailer sites with a goal to make $2k from passive videos. i have been using inbox dollars, instagc, and this one, earnhoney to make that happen. in fact, earnhoney is probably my biggest passive earner right now, averaging $1.20 a day. that may not sound like much but truly all i am doing is going to the site and pressing play and letting their videos run ALL DAY LONG until i go to bed at night--and you could run them all night as well if you wanted. that is going to add up to over $400 in one year! now to be honest, this will be hard to achieve if you only have one computer and you are using it most of the time. these passive earners work best on a spare computer--where they can just run all day smoothly with the window open.

so if you have a spare computer or one you may not use all day read my step by step guide so you can start earning too!

-first register with earnhoney!

-go to this section---buzz tv offers. i click on the highest paying one--which may change. here it is the 'interesting medical' videos.


-after clicking your category click this box---'GO THERE NOW!'
-next it may go to their fb page or a google results page. click 'watch videos' on the fb page or the first result of the google page.

-now you are on the page. go to the top right and click 'videos'.

-choose which video block you want to watch.



-that's it! now they will start playing on their own. you do want to check for their 'viewability' indicator--if you see one to three green light indicators then it is crediting you for watching the ad. the green lights only appear during ads, not videos. if the lights are red then you are not getting credit--usually that is because you are using your computer in a different tab or window--which is why a spare computer works best.

                                                    


i have only started this about 3 months ago and already have cashed out for $50 PAYPAL! i actually joined in 2015 but forgot about them until recently.


                                        




of course there are a zillion other ways to earn on the site--i just am focused on the passive earners right now. so check it out--especially if you have a computer that can just run this all day for you.
sign up link is: www.earnhoney.com/home/?

and good luck earning your honey!

My newest shopping app is a good one! Fetch Rewards.

well i was just informed that fetch rewards is now on a waiting list :(. 
i still recommend you join now and wait until they open more spots--it is worth it!
download the app and sign up today!



.

if you enter this code you automatically start out with 1,500 pts! FF2KR
download the app from either google or apple.


fetch rewards is my newest app and i am really liking it. you simply take a pic of your grocery receipts and it does the work for you--matching your purchases to their list of brands that offer rewards. i have only submitted 6 receipts so far and already have enough for a $5 amazon gc!



also if you enter the code i have you already bump up to 1,500 pts. a $5 amazon gc is only 5,000 pts.
the code is FF2KR.



they have gift cards to just about anywhere too---itunes, cvs, dominos, target and walmart to name just a few. they also have virtual visa rewards but the exchange rate is not as good as the gcs.

don't confuse fetch rewards with 'shop fetch'. they are the same company but very different apps. some peeps love shop fetch as well but it involves scanning all your items as you shop and that commitment does not appeal to me!



if you use ibotta, checkout 51 and the plethora of other shopping apps you will definitely want to add this one to your roster. remember to use my code to get your bonus sign up points! FF2KR

My Easy FusionCash Strategy.


link to join: http://fca.sh and get $5 to start!

early this year i decided i would really hit all the GPT sites to add additional income in 2017. now i already spend a lot of time on swagbucks so i didn't want to be spending a bunch of time on these new sites---i just wanted to quickly learn ways to add a bit of income each day.

fusioncash is now part of my everyday morning ritual. i make 22-25 cents every morning with minimal effort. now i realize this is a laughable amount but it adds up to over $80 a year and it takes a few clicks. when you have a lot of little money makers it adds up to thousands a year! believe me there is tons more to be earned--i just don't choose to spend anymore time on the site. here is how i quickly make my almost quarter and move on with my day.

here are my current earnings! (i am darby626)

QualNow: The Newest Video Survey Site.



qualnow is here! this newest member of the video survey segment is already getting 2 thumbs up from me! i just completed my first survey and it was approved within minutes. 6 questions = $3.

here are the highlights of qualnow:

-give your video response from your smartphone, laptop, computer or tablet--the choice is yours!

-super easy incentive program--every video answer earns you 50 cents. keep in mind they currently only pay in amazon. i received my first study--it had a qualifying question and then offered $3 amazon for 6 video answers. you must answer all questions in the study and all answers must be a minimum of 30 seconds.

-no cashing out required! qualnow auto pays you when you hit $10. payments are sent every monday.

-you must complete a short video screener as part of your application. once approved you just need to wait for survey invites.


here is more info on reddit if you are interested. https://www.reddit.com/r/beermoney/bd3938b8
