Hey guys,
I thought I would share with you some of my favorite ways to bring in a little extra cash with little to no extra effort. Most of these only require time to be downloaded/ set-up.
Media Insiders Panel- $20/ month
This one is one of my favorites!
Media Insiders Panel is an ongoing research initiative that basically evaluates how people use technology. It gives you $1.25/ week per device (up to 3+ computer) that you can redeem for numerous rewards, especially gift cards (I usually do Amazon.) I have this on my phone, computer, and roomie's tablet. (shhh- don't tell!)
I know I said it's 1.25/ week per device, but I somehow end up with $5/ week, so however that math works! Plus, you also get loyalty bonuses- I just got $5 for having it installed for 12 weeks.
In case it sounds too good to be true- this is my screenshot of my points (100=$1.) You can cash out rewards at $5 (which is basically weekly.)
Screenwise Trends (Chrome Required)- $5/ month
This is a similar app to Media Insiders Panel, it's used to study web and mobile usage. You have to put it on your computer, and then can also add mobile and tablet apps to earn more. You get a bonus for signing up, based on how many apps you're running. Here's the chart of how much you make initially, plus weekly.

The one downside of this one is you can't cash out until you have $25, but that's not too big of a deal as mostly you're getting paid just for it being installed. Below is my summary of earnings. You can cash out for several different gift cards with this one as well, I've cashed out once so far, and that was for Amazon.
SmartApp- $5/ month plus $10 Signup Bonus
This is a new app I've just started using. It's another research app. This one pays $5/ month but you instantly get $5 for signing up and another $5 for installing the app. You can redeem this right away for an amazon gift card or as cash via Paypal. I actually got $15 for signing up and installing the app last week, but the website now says $5 for signup, $5 for app download so they must have changed it.
Screenpay/ Slidejoy- $8/ month (Android Only)
These are apps I started using a week or so ago. Basically they pay you to put ads on your lock screen on your phone. These ads don't bother me one bit as the only time I see them is when I unlock my phone. One app pays minimum $3/ month, the other $5/ month. You can't cash out until you have $7 on Screenpay, I'm not sure what the threshold is on Slidejoy, but I believe it's monthly.
As I have just downloaded this, I can speak for cashing out yet, I will update in a months time or so how that has worked out for me. Here's a screenshot of my earnings thus far on those apps.
You can use my links (I get a bonus for people signing up, plus you get a $1 bonus on Screenpay), or just find them on the app store.
The small amounts a month might not seem like much. but after the monthly earnings plus the bonuses for loyalty and signup, you'll have made almost $500 in a years time!
Let me know if you have any great apps for making money!
