11 Ways To Make Money From Home

Affiliate links included. Full disclosure here.

1. Shop with Ebates.

I absolutely love Ebates! Ebates is a wonderful little site that offers you cash back on purchases from stores that you usually shop at every single day. Since signing up with them about 5 months ago, I have earned close to $50 bucks a month without any hard work, sweat or tears. So yeah, below is my screenshot from my personal account and what I’ve earned so far.

(My current balance from my Ebates account!)

This is how I earn easy money with Ebates: Before I buy anything and I mean anything I immediately search Ebates to see if the store I plan to purchase from has any cash back deals. If so, I shop. (That’s a no brainer!)

Next, I make a quick facebook post to my friends such as, “Just sharing my coupon’s link with anyone who’s interested in 20% off at Nike. Free to sign up and we both earn $5!“.

And guess what? Because your friends and family trust you and would also like a great deal, they will sign up and you both just earned a quick $5. BAM! It’s really that simple.

2. Take surveys on Swagbucks.

Another website that I love to make money from is Swagbucks. They have so many different ways that you can earn quick cash, but my favorite way is through their short and easy surveys.

The surveys take anywhere between 5-20 minutes to complete and you’ll earn points that you can later redeem for cash, gift cards and other incentives. So far I have earned over 2,000 Swagbucks which I can redeem for a $20 gift card to the store of my choice or deposit into my bank account via Paypal.

Similar to my Ebates strategy, after completing a survey or other task, I make a quick post to Facebook,”Just earned a $5 gift card from taking a quick survey. You can get one too by signing up for free with my link and we both earn $3!
