So everybody ain’t about that blogging life, however, there are still some perks to be had by hopping online, writing a few lines and getting paid for it. Yes YOU, from the comfort of your own home or office can earn free products and some extra moohlah by writing short reviews, filling out surveys, and providing brands with honest consumer feedback.
Sounds fabulous right? Why yes, yes it does. Well I’m going to keep it real with you… like anything, it takes a little time and dedication to build up your profiles and reputation, but it INDEED can be done! It can be done in a fraction of the time it takes to start and build a successful blog. Bonus points if you have a following on social media sites like Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
So if you are for serious and are about that survey life at least, you can help supplement your family’s income in these hard economic times or even treat them to small luxuries. How wonderful would that be?
Well, to help you on your money-making journey, I compiled a list of a few places to get started. Be prepared to reap the fruits of your hard work! I will add on to this list as I continue to research and sign up for different sites (Yes! I’m trying to make a few extra coins, too!).
