My Incredible Online Earnings For 2017.

It's that time of year! I always get a bit anxious and worried I won't beat my LY numbers but yet again, I have done it! Here is my breakdown for 2017:

GRAND TOTAL: $19,667.94 (SO CLOSE TO $20K!)

THAT AVERAGES TO:

$1,639 A MONTH

$378 A WEEK

$54 A DAY

NO, IT DOESN'T STACK UP TO A REGULAR FULL-TIME JOB BUT FOR WORKING FROM HOME AND SETTING MY OWN HOURS AND CHOOSING EXACTLY WHAT PROJECTS I WANT TO DO---IT'S PRETTY SWELL AND IT REALLY, REALLY HELPS OUR HOUSEHOLD BUDGET!

2017 WAS A 13% INCREASE FOR ME OVER 2016.

my blog has definitely slowed down. the first few years i was so busy discovering new sites and money makers--now i feel i have discovered all the good ones unless they are new--so there's not too much to post now. i also saw many sites close or join forces with other research companies. nevertheless i tallied up my top 15 money makers for 2017. here you go!

streetbees is still looking for new members--especially ages 35+

use promo code 3143OJ when signing up!

my newest app discovery is streetbees--a global app that pays you paypal for completing easy tasks. so far i have only completed 2 but they each paid $1 paypal and only took a few minutes to complete. it seems they are mostly opinion based but the two i did also required a photo at the end (and they are clear they must be original pics!). approval does take a few days. available for both iPhone and android too.

https://www.streetbees.com

i am hoping they grow and will be able to offer even more tasks to participants. i do seem to get an email notification when a new paying task is available.

they are based out of the UK and have a US fb page here. when you download the app and register please use my promo code 3143OJ.  thank you!

here is an outline of my last study--super easy for anyone to do.

no paypal but lots of tango gift card options. 

also no referral program at this time.

this one is definitely a winner out of the gate. you can check out their fb page too.

A new cash back shopping app--Hopster is here!

there is a new shopping app everyone! this one is called Hopster and it pays directly to paypal with no minimum threshold. it really reminds me of Mobi, in its better days. i have only used the app once so far but have earned 50 cents--sent directly to my paypal account within 48 hrs.

i should mention that the ONLY way to currently sign up is through Facebook. they said they are working on other methods of registering but currently that is your only option.


                               



you can submit receipts from any store too. the cash back site is only available through the app, not your computer. they do actually have a site and a fb page---but the website is for a different part of Hopster, called 'print at home', involving coupons and earning points, which i don't plan on utilizing.

           

so hop onboard the hopster train and start earning cash back today!

1Q. Instant paypal for single question surveys!

1Q.com/Q

IQ is a nifty little research company that pays you instant paypal for single question surveys! it's as simple as that.
click this link and sign up today. all you need is a smartphone and a paypal account. survey incentives are typically .50 cents.

here is a snapshot of my recent payments from 1Q:

HINT!

under your profile i recommend you adjust your member payment down to .25 cents since you will get more survey questions than those that keep there payment minimum at .50 cents. also ensure you notifications are ON---the questions expire pretty quickly!

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

Vidlet: Paid Studies Through Video Answers.

https://vidlet.formstack.com/forms/panelform?

the vidlet app is a new way for businesses to hear your feedback. sign up for the panel, download the app and wait to be invited to a study.

i just downloaded the app last month and have already been accepted into a $75 study. a 3 day study, videos answers to their questions and i earn $75---you can't beat that!

you can't be shy with this type of platform. your videos need to be prepared, articulate and well-delivered. i usually do about 3-5 takes before i get mine right! 

https://vidlet.formstack.com/forms/panelform?

available for iPhone and android.

MileUp: The App That Pays You For Every Mile You Drive.

http://b.mileup.ai/

this new app is getting a lot of buzz and i clearly see why. download mileup and the points rack up every time you drive---it's that easy.

now i hardly drive outside my neighborhood, (seriously i drove a total of 3,500 miles last year!) so this won't be a huge money earner for me but for folks that drive often, this could really be a nice chunk of change. they have several different gcs to choose from: amazon, target, dominos, walmart are just a few. it seems 1,000 pts equals $5. i have had this app for not even a month, barely drive, and already have over 600 pts!

MobiSave--the grocery cash back app that everyone should be using.

yes-- there are a lot of players in the grocery app arena but mobisave is one of my favs for a few simple reasons:

--nearly instant paypal payments---like within the hour. for reals.

--no minimum and no need to request funds. if you claim 10 cents for buying apples--they automatically send a dime to your paypal account--easy peasy.

--any store in the US is eligible.

--many 'generic' broad category items that are easy to redeem.

it's just change but it adds up and it is so easy not to do! trust me--download the app and start getting cash back today. one tip---you must select the items you wish to redeem BEFORE uploading your receipt. many times i was rejected because i forgot to save items to my 'cart' before snapping a pic of my receipt. you will probably forget too the first few times but eventually you will remember, even if it's in the store, to quickly choose your items before checking out.

available for iPhone and android. i heard sometimes there is a waiting list. no worries. usually they accept you within a few months.

download today and start earning! good luck.

Gambeal: The newest restaurant cash back app.

i discovered a new app that is well worth the download. it is called Gambeal and it pays you back for snapping pics of your restaurant and fast food receipts and rating the experience. and we are talking about the places you actually go! arbys, dq, mcdonalds, even chick-fil-a!

                 

payment is through paypal once you hit $20. with this great assortment of restaurants i think that can be achieved quite quickly!

the sad news is it is only available on iPhone at the moment. but maybe folks can request it for android on their fb page.

i just snapped a pic of my mcdonalds receipt and it was approved within 30 minutes! gambeal definitely seems like it is going to be a profitable app for me!

happy earning!

A New Global App That Pays Paypal Instantly: CitizenMe

https://www.citizenme.com

i just learned of this one last week and thought i would give it a shot. citizenme is based out of london but is available globally. they ask questions to develop 'your profile' and say the more of these 'insight' questions you complete the more paying surveys you will receive. i only filled out 2 insight activities and already received my first paying question! took under a minute to complete and they paid me within minutes to my paypal. they actually pay in british pounds so the 10 cents actually converted to 12 cents US dollars-score! i actually allowed notifications so that i am alerted to any paying activities and therefore not wasting a bunch of time checking the app all the time.

you can check them out on fb page too. so far i am liking this app. i even went back and connected my twitter account and completed all my pending insights to see if i start getting even more paying surveys. they do not seem to have any referral program that i see. but even if it's a bit of change each month you can't beat instant deposit to your paypal account!

good luck with citizen me!
