The POWER Hour: How to earn cash or gift cards in just an hour a day!

January 1, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Now that the holidays are over, we could all use some extra cash!  I often have people ask me about legitimate ways to earn money from home.  In just one hour each day, you can earn gift cards and money for your family each month!  We all can find an hour somewhere in our day, right?
Here are your “Power Hour” earning tips:1.  If you haven’t already, sign up for Swagbucks. You’ll earn Swagbucks for searching online, watching videos, and completing surveys, offers, and polls.  You can exchange your Swagbucksfor Paypal cash or for gift cards to Amazon, Chili’s, Home Depot, Old Navy, Papa John’s and MORE!  It’s easy!Click here to register if you haven’t already–>Swagbucks registration

Complete these tasks daily:  15 minutes

  • Click on the toolbar – 1 point
  • Daily Poll – 1 point
  • NOSO (you don’t have to complete any offers to earn Swagbucks!) – varies, but 2-5 points on average for me
  • Search online – I typically earn 5-9 points per search (I have the best luck early in the morning or late at night)
  • Complete other tasks if you have time:  watch Swagbucks TV, complete “tasks” and complete surveys

*Just by doing these tasks each day, you should be able to earn at least one $5 Amazon gift card in a month’s time.  If you spend more time on it, you’ll earn more gift cards!

2.  Click on the “Super Lucky” button on Superpoints – 10 minutes

If you haven’t signed up for Superpoints yet, it’s invite only, but you can send me an e-mail (melissasbargains@gmail.com) and I’ll send you one!

Like Swagbucks, I tend to have more “luck” when I click early in the morning or late at night.  Make sure you join me on Facebook for “Superpoints Sundays” and “Wild Wednesdays” where you’ll have a chance to share your invite link and earn even more Superpoints!

*Just by clicking on the Super Lucky button and clicking through your “Super Lucky e-mails” you can easily earn enough for a $5 Amazon gift card in a month’s time!  If you watch the videos, you can earn even MORE points!

3.  Sign up for MyPoints and read through their daily e-mail offers – 5 minutes

Click here to register for MyPoints if you aren’t registered already–>MyPoints.com registration

You do not need to COMPLETE the offers unless you want to, but you usually earn anywhere from 5 to 25 points just for clicking “get points” in the e-mails!  I usually earn enough for a $10 gift card every 2-3 months just by doing this.  It won’t make you rich, but it’s nice to have those extra gift cards for eating out or a trip to Walmart or Target!

4.  Sign up for reputable survey sites and complete the surveys you receive in your e-mail – 30 minutes (this will vary from day to day based on the survey offers you have received)

If you’re looking for reputable survey sites, here are a few that I LOVE:  click on the links to find out more about them!  These are all sites that I have personally worked with and had great experiences with!  I typically earn a minimum of $50 per month completing surveys.  This will vary for everyone based on the time you have to commit to completing surveys, how quickly you can complete the screeners so you will qualify, and whether or not you are a part of the demographic they are looking for.

I can’t wait to hear about your results!!!  PLEASE NOTE:  The dollar amounts listed here are minimums that you should be able to easily earn each month.  If you are committed, you can easily earn a lot more!  The point is that you can earn extra cash each month for a very small amount of time and once you start doing this consistently and get the hang of it, you will be able to do it all much faster!

30 Ways to Save for a Cash Christmas: Toluna Surveys

September 5, 2011 by

Almost three years ago, my husband and I took Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University class and began using a “cash only” system.  The last two years, we have used cash and gift cards that we’ve earned throughout the year to pay for our Christmas.  I can’t tell you what a relief it was to not be bombarded by credit card bills in January right when our property taxes and Homeowner’s association fees are due!

If you’d like to save for a “cash Christmas” this year, it’s not too late!  There are still plenty of ways that to earn some extra cash and gift cards for the holidays if you start now! For the next 30 days, I’ll be highlighting ways that you can stash away some extra cash!  Check out previous posts from the 30 Ways to Save for a Cash Christmas series here.

Surveys are a great way to make some extra money to pay for holiday expenses! I save the money and gift cards I earn from completing surveys all year to pay for gifts!  Typically, I can earn enough by doing “extra” things that we don’t have to take any money from our monthly checks to put in our Christmas fund.  Toluna is one of many survey companies I work with.

Here’s some information about Toluna:

  • Earn points worth $1 to $5 each time you qualify for and complete a survey! You’ll also earn for the polls and opinion topics you create! Each time you participate in or complete a survey you’ll be entered into our monthly $4500 prize draw!
  • Create your own polls and opinion topics to host on Toluna, or export them to your own blog or website!
  • Voice your opinion by participating in other community members’ polls and opinion topics! There’s no catch! Your membership is free, and all information you provide is strictly confidential and will never be used to advertise or to sell you anything.

As soon as you register, you’ll be entered into a monthly cash drawing of prizes totaling $4,500!  Click here to join!

PLEASE NOTE: You are probably not going to get “rich” completing surveys, but it is a nice way to bring in a little bit of extra money few minutes of your time.  Survey companies often target certain demographics so what works well for one person may not work well for another.  This is why it’s good to sign up with several different survey companies.  You figure out pretty quickly which ones work for you and which ones do not.  I try to set aside a little bit of time each day to go through and complete the surveys for the different survey sites I belong to and can usually make at least $50 per month just by doing this!
