How to make money online: Seven easy ways to earn cash quickly

WITH increasingly busy lives and the cost of living rising, money woes can be a nightmare. Here are seven simple ways to earn some extra cash.

One of the many joys of the internet is that it allows anyone with a connection to earn money.

With smartphones, tablets and laptops you can do this from anywhere in the world at any time.

And you can get paid for doing things you would be doing in your spare time anyway.

Whether you want more money for travel, eating out or treating the kids.

1. Get paid to watch videos and play games

There are various sites that will pay you in virtual cash to complete easy online tasks.

The PayPal credits or gift cards can then be converted for real money.

One such site is Swagbucks – which will have you filling in polls, watching videos and other tasks. Others include Maximiles, Gift Hunter Club and GiftHulk.

The more dedicated you are the more money you can potentially earn.

2. Fill in online surveys

You can earn up to £800 just for giving you opinion – it’s that easy.

The good thing about this is that you don’t need a particular skill – your opinion is enough.

There are many sites to choose from including i-Say, GlobalTestMarkt, PopulusLive and Google Opinion Rewards.

3. Get free cashback

By using cashback sites you will be earning a cut of the cash the site earns for channeling web traffic.

For example, Topcashback pays £2 for a Gocompare home insurance quote.

Another site, Boom25 is refunding every 25th customer the full amount of their online shopping purchase.

4. Sell your photos to magazines and newspapers

If you are a keen photographer, or have an ever-increasing amount of photos of scenery or inanimate objects, you could be earning money.

You could put your photos up for sale on “stock photography” websites. Newspapers, magazines and publishers can then buy them from the websites.

Almy will offer 50% of the sales price, Adobe Stock will give you 33% and Shutterstock will start you off at 18p per photo.

5. Get paid to test companies’ websites

People who can test the websites of companies are valuable to businesses.

If you sign up to the website What Users Do you can earn £5 for a 15-minute test.

You will need a computer with a microphone so you can feed back throughout the test.

One forum user said: “It’s a great website! I’be earned about £500 with them since starting 10 months ago.”

6. Earn money from internet search

You can get paid for answering peoples’ burning questions.

A customer will send a text to a researcher – you – and you reply with an answer/

You can generally choose which questions you want to answer, and the hours you work.

Companies such as AQA (Any Question Answered) will pay roughly 25p per question.

7. Sell your unwanted items

If you have some unwanted items lying around that may benefit someone else you could sell it online.

You can sell your stuff for free on Facebook. Other commerce giants such as Amazon, eBay and Etsy also allow you to flog your stuff.
