9-Online-Micro-jobs - The Moonlighter`s Guide

9 Online Micro-jobs Anyone Can Do To
Earn Immediate Income
I wrote this booklet for those of you who have never
made any money online. I wanted you to experience what it
is like to have your first online payday quickly. I chose these
nine companies because I know they are reputable and pay
their users on time. I’ve used many of them myself and
while the pay is small, so is the task. None of these
companies will pay your home mortgage but they’ll fill your
gas tank, buy you dinner and support your Starbucks habit.
Most importantly, they will help those of you new to
online work realize if you can make $5 online, you can
make $500, if you can make $500 you can make $5,000. It
really does work that way! As your online money-making
experience grows, so does your online income.
Most of the companies listed below use PayPal.com for
payment, so sign up for a free account with them if you
don’t already have one.
Thanks for reading and letting me help you on your quest
to make online income! Let me know when you’ve made
you’re first online dollar. I want to hear about it!
The Moonlighter’s Guide
Let’s get to it, shall we?
1. Earn money back purchasing the things
you already buy.
Ibotta
http://ibotta.com
You need a smartphone/tablet for this one (Android,
Android tablet, iPad, iPhone). Earn cash back paid to you
through PayPal for stores you already visit like 7-11, Meijer,
Kroger, Target, Safeway, Wal-Mart, Walgreens and CVS
Pharmacy. There are many more stores that will pay you to
shop. Check the Ibotta site for the updated list. It’s a nobrainer when you think about how many times you visit
these stores for the basic things you need each month. You
select the items in their offers that you already buy or new
ones you wish to try and buy them. Scan your receipt and
get some of that money back. They usually have a $5 sign-
up bonus to get you started and they will pay you $1 for
each friend that signs up through your account link.
2. Comment on websites and forums.
Postloop
http://www.postloop.com
You probably do this for free now, don’t you? Why not get
paid for it? You earn points for each comment you make on
forums and blogs. In most cases, you’ll need to set up an
account at the forum or blog but once that’s done you can
easily return to make more comments and earn more points
without the hassle. The more posts you make, the more you
earn.
Each company you comment for has their own set of
instructions for posting. The quality (content and grammar)
of your posts are rated by the website owners. The higher
your rating, the more access you will have to websites that
offer more points per post. There is no limit to how many
points you can earn but you must have a certain amount of
points to cash out and transfer into your PayPal account. 100
points = $5.
3. Watch ads, shop and give feedback.
Jingit
http://www.jingit.com/home
You can do a variety of things to earn money on Jingit,
like watch ads and take surveys. Download the Jingit app on
your phone, check-in at a retail outlet, give some feedback
and earn cash.
Jingit pays by debit card. They send you the card by mail
for a small fee ($3) and then deposit your earnings on the
card for your use at the gas pump, store or any place that
takes Visa debit cards.
4. Give your consumer opinion.
20/20 Panel
http://www.2020panel.com
20/20 Panel participants can be paid in prepaid Visa
cards, Amazon credit, coupons and a variety of other ways
depending on the panel. Some panels are in-person but
most are online. Most participants receive 7-10
opportunities per month but once offered the participant
must qualify for the panel to continue.
5. Review legal cases from a juror’s
viewpoint.
EJury
http://www.ejury.com/jurors_signup.html
Working for eJury is similar to jury duty except you don’t
report to a court house. Attorneys use eJury to post cases for
review and they receive feedback from mock jurors. The
work itself takes about 30 minutes and you are paid $5-$10
by PayPal. The attorneys use this feedback before they go to
trial or use it as leverage to settle a case. Ejurors are usually
in the same geographical area as the case, so if you live in a
rural area your opportunities will be fewer. You cannot be
associated with the legal profession in any way, nor can you
be a convicted felon. You are required to swear an oath
when you sign up as an ejuror.
6. Get paid to do small tasks.
Mturk
http://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome
Once you get past the acronyms like MTurk and HITs, the
service is easy to use. MTurk stands for Mechanical Turk and
HITs are Human Intelligence Tasks. You get paid a small
amount of money to do small, easy tasks. The work is varied
and the companies asking you to do the work may have
requirements before you qualify to do the task. There is a
HIT limit in the beginning and some of the companies
require you to have a certain HIT rating before you can
work for them.
You are not actually working for Amazon but you receive
payments through the Amazon Payments system. Your
payments can be in the form of an Amazon gift card or you
may have the money transferred into your bank account.
*Note: Amazon does not police the companies that post
tasks, so it is possible to sign up for a task and be scammed.
Be wary if the pay sounds too high for the short task. Anna T.
at Real Ways To Earn Money Online has a post that she
updates with reputable companies on MTurk. Check it out:

7. Website Testing
Userlytics
http://www.userlytics.com/tester-signup
Get paid $10 (or more) to test the usability of a website.
The webcam on your computer records you voicing your
thoughts about a site as you navigate it to the client’s
specifications. You may be asked to register at a site, give
your reaction to advertisements or compare one website to
another. The companies you’ll test for range from start-ups
to well-known brands you’ll likely recognize. Tests take
anywhere between 10-20 minutes. Testing can be done on a
Windows or Mac based computer as long as you have a
webcam. The client needs to approve your test, which can
take up to 24 hours. You are are paid twice per month by
PayPal.
8. Rate new music
Slice The Pie
http://www.slicethepie.com
Be a music scout! Get paid to listen to and review new
music. Slice The Pie has you listen to a new song and then
write a short review. The better your reviews, the more you
get paid. You can also earn a percentage of a friends
earnings if they sign up on Slice The Pie through your
referral link. If you listen to music while online, this is a
great way to make a few dollars. Slice The Pie pays by
PayPal.
9. Read email, sign up for offers and get
paid.
Fusion Cash
http://www.fusioncash.net
Fusion Cash often has a $5 bonus just for signing up. They
have a $25 dollar minimum payout and pay by Paypal,
direct deposit or check. Some of the higher-paid offers
involve signing up for a free trial offer for a service or
product. You may have to cancel these offers so you are not
charged when the trial period is up. If you note the
expiration of the offer on a calendar, it should be easy to
track and cancel. Fusion cash states that $15 of your payout
must be from these free trial offers.
