5 Best Ways to Make Quick and Easy Money Online

Need a little extra cash? Or just a few gifts or treats for yourself or others? Or maybe you already have a source of income but you want to supplement it? Below are my suggestions for the 5 best ways to make quick and easy money online. None of the websites require any technical knowledge and all them you can start earning money online within hours and days, rather than weeks and months. All these online earning methods are completely legit, by the way. They are free to join too, so you might as well give them a try. I certainly did. They won’t make you into a millionaire, but they can potentially earn you hundreds of dollars over a period of time and it is quick and easy money. All you need is a computer and internet access and some time set aside to earn.

Amazon Mechanical Turk, or MTurk, as it is also known, is an online marketplace for work and there are thousands of jobs on there, usually quick tasks which pay small amounts of money, but they build up. You can sign up to the their website and begin online earning straight away. Your online earnings are paid to you within hours or days and collect in your Amazon account. You then either transfer the money to your bank account or convert it to Amazon gift cards and spend it on the Amazon website. It is one of the best ways to make quick and easy money online.  Read some of my MTurk tips for more details.

Microworkers is a rival of MTurk and operates in a generally similar way. It is smaller however which means that although there are less jobs, it’s easier to navigate and find the jobs you want in some ways. Another difference is that you get your online earnings paid into a PayPal account with Microworkers. You can read my tips for using Microworkers here.

MyLot is a social networking site in the same vein as Facebook or MySpace, but where you get paid to post things such as photographs, discussion articles, comments etc. The payments aren’t big at first, but they quickly increase. It’s a very straightforward way to make easy money online if you enjoy social networking. Read my full review of MyLot.

Inbox Dollars in a website-based rewards club where you earn money for completing surveys, watching videos, reading emails, shopping online etc. They give you $5 as a sign up bonus, which is nice. Plus you get another dollar just for downloading their their toolbar. Read my full review of Inbox Dollars and start to make some easy money online.

Swagbucks has some major similarities with Inbox Dollars. However, instead of being paid in dollars, you are paid in swagbucks, which is a virtual currency. You can then exchange your swagbucks for gifts in their online store, or do what I do and swap your swagbucks for Amazon gift cards or PayPal money. You can read my full review of Swagbucks and how to use it to make money here.

There are many sites that I’ve not included in this list. For instance, I’ve not included HubPages, despite the fact that you can potentially earn far more with HubPages than you can with some of the sites listed. HubPages is not included because firstly, it takes a basic amount of writing skill and internet knowledge to make money with it, and secondly, because any profits you make with it, however big they may be, will take weeks and months to materialize, rather than hours and days. If you want to read my review of Hubpages, however, it is here.
