Eaaaaasy Money!

Earning Money Online
Swagbucks
You may or may not have heard of Swagbucks, but it is quickly gaining popularity.  Through the website or apps you can earn swagbucks (SB).  1 SB = $.01, so 100 SB is $1.00.  Some of the easiest ways to earn are:

-Surveys
The surveys vary in payout of SB but are one of the best ways to help you meet your Daily Goal (you receive bonus SB if you meet the Daily Goal, especially if you do so several days in a row).  However, it is easy to get disqualified from them since some surveys are looking for very specific audiences.  Don't get too discouraged if none seem to be working out.  Just check back a little later and try again!  If you are out of Gold Surveys, just look on the left and click on "Peanut Labs Surverys" to try for a few more.

-Swag Codes
On your homepage, you will see this:
If you have the Swagbucks app or the Swagbutton installed in your browser, you will be notified every time there is a new Swag Code.  All you have to do is find it and enter it in to get easy SB.

-Videos
You can watch playlists of videos to earn SB.  Many people like to turn them on when they aren't currently using their computer, or they mute it and have the videos going in another browser tab while they work on other things.  The payout isn't large, but you don't have to really do anything!  Just periodically check the tab to see if you need to start a new playlist.

-Searches
Like with Bing Rewards, you can get paid for doing your normal daily searches.  You can make Swagbucks your default search engine and it will randomly reward you SB during a search.

Earning Station
This site is my favorite way to earn currently (October 2018), since Swagbucks has become more of a grind. If you earn $.25 each day, which is super easy, then you can keep up an earning streak, which gives a bonus every 10 days. The survey payout is decent, especially if you check out the Daily Surveys page.
Since surveys aren't always guaranteed, though, I print coupons to make sure I can make the daily goal. From the home page, I hover over "OFFERS" on the top left, and then click on OfferToro.

There are two links here to print coupons from, each worth $0.20 (it says you have to print 25, but I just have always printed 1 or 2 from each link).


With the printing step, you don't have to actually print. You can either save to PDF or to your Google Drive, and it will still credit you after a few minutes.


1Q
This app just sends you really brief surveys (1 or 2 questions usually) and will immediately pay you $.25 or $.50.

Hatch
There are some decent-paying surveys and studies that you can participate in on here. I think it's only on the Google Play store, but hopefully it becomes cross-platform soon!

Other Survey Sites
Pinecone Research, Harris Poll, One Opinion, Product Report Card, Opinion Outpost, and Inbox Dollars are all other good potential earning options! Pinecone Research has been my favorite, purely for the fact that it pays $3 per survey $!$!$!$!
-The first four have given me opportunities to test products and get paid for it!-


In-Store Savings
Rebates
Ibotta, Checkout51, Fetch Rewards (use referral code N6KVH for extra points), and SavingStar are all cash-back rebate apps.  Before your shopping trip, take a look at the app and see what products offer cash back.  Select the ones you plan on purchasing and mosey on over to the store!  When you get home you scan your receipt with your phone, selecting the products you purchased.  Once your purchases are confirmed you get credited with your cash back!  When you reach a certain amount (each app has a certain minimum) you can cash out. Cha-ching!
*Ibotta also offers bonus cash for completing special tasks!

Coupons.com
I don't have any newspaper subscriptions, but that doesn't stop me from getting coupons!  There is a wide variety of current coupons on coupons.com that you can just print off.  I personally find it easier to print from within the coupons.com app instead of the computer since you don't have to install the Coupon Printer.
If you do print from the computer though, why not earn Swagbucks while you are doing it?  You can access the coupons at http://www.swagbucks.com/shop/allcoupons/grocery/.  You can earn 10 SB per coupon used!  (Keep in mind that you might not get credited immediately)
*Coupons.com now also has an app where you can scan your receipts and it will send your rebate amount directly to PayPal!

Shopkick
If your Bluetooth is on and the Shopkick app is open, you can earn for just walking into stores. You can get more points for scanning certain items, and even more for buying those items and scanning the receipts.


Receipt Scans
Gas!
If you scan your gas receipts with the app Trunow, you can get cash back!


Other Receipt Apps
CoinOut is still fairly new, but you get money for each receipt you scan. You can even forward your email receipts to them and those will also get cash back!

Receipt Hog also allows you to scan any receipt for rewards!



I'm not an extreme couponer at all, but I do like saving money and getting cash-back!  I hope these tips can help you to do the same!
-These are some of the things that have personally worked for me-
