Swagbucks

In my opinion, this is probably the easiest way to earn an Amazon gift card, but also the most time-consuming.

You need to earn 700 Swagbucks (at time of writing) to get a £5 gift card. Other gift cards are available but the amazon one offers the best deal at this time.

Some of the many ways to earn Swagbucks are:-

  • Take surveys
  • Watch videos
  • Play games
  • Install and play/use phone apps (ios and android)
  • Complete polls
  • Refer friends
  • Sign up for free trials/subscriptions
  • Use the cashback feature when shopping at many online retailers

I like it because it is so varied. There is also a browser extension you can install to earn more Swagbucks if you use their search engine. Also, it notifies you if cashback is available on any page you visit. This is worth having as you get a pop-up reminder.

If you decide to join then please use my referral link as then we both get 300 bonus Swagbucks if you earn 300 within your first 30 days.

Gener8

The idea behind this is that instead of seeing normal adverts while you surf they are replaced by Gener8’s adverts and they will pay you to see them. This is done via a browser extension which can currently be added to Chrome or Firefox. I’m using it on Chrome and it doesn’t seem to harm performance.

You collect tokens while you browse and once you have referred a couple of friends you have access to the marketplace where you can exchange the tokens for goods and gift cards. In four weeks of normal internet browsing, I have accumulated £40 worth of tokens.

Currently, the marketplace is limited but now they have been going a while this should soon change.

If you use my referral link to sign up we both get 10 tokens which is equivalent to £1.

A couple of hurdles to be warned about though.

  • Firstly, to access the marketplace you must refer 2 friends and they must each earn 1 token.
  • Secondly, the marketplace is only open to the UK to start with. You can sign up and earn tokens in other countries but are unable to exchange them at the moment.

If you do decide to join up then my referral code above gives us each 10 tokens.

Clickworker, love it or loathe it?

Posted on by HopSkipJump

Clickworker is a site i’ve been trying out for a couple of weeks now and i still can’t decide if i like it or not!

What is it?

Clickworker is a site that offers a variety of small jobs that need completing on a first come, first served basis. The pay isn’t a huge amount but it can add up if the jobs are there. The main issue is that the good jobs can be sporadic and often when they are there everyone is trying to access them and the website can be buggy and slow. On the plus side there are often some very easy jobs that you can dip in and out of, i recently made about £60 doing simple tasks for a well known, image based company.

How do i sign up?

If you want to give it a try then please sign up with this link, i get a bonus.

When do i get paid?

Clickworker say they pay weekly but i have had issues with this. Firstly, i had to verify my Paypal account which i didn’t realise so i missed the first payment date, doh! Secondly i was due a payment this week but have had an email to say that due to ‘technical difficulties’ they won’t be able to pay us until next week <sigh>. I do know other people that have worked for them a lot longer than me though and apparently they are normally reliable payers. So i shall give them the benefit of the doubt this time and keep waiting.

Want to earn $10 working for around 20 minutes from your home?

Available to UK residents as well as US, you will be paid via paypal where you convert to £’s on cashing out.

It sounds a bit too good to be true doesn’t it? That’s what i thought at first!

However, i have been working for a company called UserTesting for more than a year now and it’s one of my favourite ways of making money.

What is it?

The work is testing a website or mobile app to see how user friendly it is. It basically involves following a link to a live website or a prototype. You will then be given tasks to complete on the website. Whilst you are doing them you must ‘think out loud’, giving your opinion of the website and how easy the tasks are to complete. Your screen and voice will be recorded whilst doing this, but no images of you or a webcam is needed.

You will need to install UserTesting software onto your computer to complete the tests. If you want to take part in mobile testing as well then you also need to install their phone app.

You can also take part in live conversations which pay better at $60 but that’s not my thing (social anxiety!) so i have never tried it.

So how do i sign up?

Visit this link https://www.usertesting.com/be-a-user-tester and enter your email address. You will have to complete a test which will be reviewed and then hopefully you’re in. No interviews needed though so it’s pretty easy to get started. Sadly there is no referral program or i would be rich by now telling everyone how awesome it is!

When do i get paid?

UserTesting pay 7 days to the minute after you have completed the test. I have never had a problem with payments, they are excellent and very prompt. Sometimes the companies rate your test too but that is rare at the moment.

Swagbucks has been around a long time in internet terms so it must be doing something right. It also has a great deal of positive reviews.

So, what is Swagbucks? Well, to me, it seems to be a million ways to make extra cash all in one place. You earn Swagbucks which can be redeemed for a variety of gift cards including Paypal and Amazon.

Some of the many ways to earn swagbucks are:-

  • Take surveys
  • Watch videos
  • Play games
  • Install and play/use phone apps (ios and android)
  • Complete polls
  • Refer friends
  • Sign up for free trials/subscriptions
  • Use the cashback feature when shopping at many online retailers

I like it because it is so varied. There is also a browser extension you can install to earn more Swagbucks if you use their search engine. Also, it notifies you if cashback is available on any page you visit. This is really worth having as you get a pop up reminder.

Sweatcoins

https://sweatco.in/i/jen946321

I’ve just joined Sweatcoins. Basically it counts all the steps you do outside (using steps and gps) and converts them to Sweatcoins. These coins can then be converted for gifts such as Amazon credits, products etc, although these change often. I thought it would be worth a try as I walk often with my dog and go running.

It looks like it might take a while to earn much but it runs in the background and doesn’t seem to drain my battery. So it seemed worth a try. I’ll come back with an update when i’ve been using it for a little while.

It might even make me fitter!

If you want to try please use my referral link.

Earn Amazon/Itunes gift cards for browsing the Internet

Posted on by HopSkipJump

https://refer.gener8ads.com/r/JFQKos

I am loving Gener8 right now. In four weeks of normal internet browsing i have accumulated £40 worth of tokens.

Annoyingly for the time being you can only claim a gift once a week, the most popular being Amazon (£5) and ITunes (£10) giftcards. This should change in the future once the user base increases and they sell the advertising space. Currently it is all funded by Gener8 themselves in order to grow. Hopefully then you will be able to exchange tokens for cash.

As well as the giftcards there are also bigger ticket items such as Kindles and Firesticks. You can also donate to selected charities.

A couple of hurdles to be warned about though.

  • Firstly, in order to access the marketplace you must refer 2 friends and they must each earn 1 token.
  • Secondly the marketplace is only open to the UK to start with. You can sign up and earn tokens in other countries but are unable to exchange them at the moment.

If you do decide to join up then my referral code above gives us each 10 tokens.

Mining cryptocurrency

Posted on by HopSkipJump

When you think of mining cryptocurrency you probably immediately think of Bitcoin. The trouble with Bitcoin is that mining for it now requires huge amounts of computer power and it is out of reach of most people. Not to mention the mammoth electricity bill. If only you’d got in early when it was pretty much unheard of and much easier to mine.

The good news is there’s a new kid on the block. Pi. The idea behind Pi is that it will be secured and operated by everyday people. The good news is that it’s in the early stages so if you get in now and it becomes big like Bitcoin then you will be rich!

All you have to do is download the app on your phone (IOS or Android) and click into it once a day to prove you are a real person rather than a bot. It then runs in the background. It does not drain your battery or have any other adverse effects. You will need an invitation code but you can use mine (mining4pi).

https://minepi.com/mining4pi

For more information you can read the white paper available on the app which is totally free.

“Pi is a new digital currency being developed by a group of Stanford PhDs. For a limited time, you can join the beta to earn Pi and help grow the network. To join Pi, follow this link https://minepi.com/mining4pi and use my username (mining4pi) as your invitation code.”
