Quick Holiday Cash

here's a round up of some of the ways i'm padding my holiday shopping fund:

Microworkers: get paid for random tasks. Like a company on facebook, get $0.45, share on twitter, get $0.55. Amounts vary per task, but they add up quickly.

TapBooty: get paid to download and open apps on your smartphone or tablet. Keeping the apps after opening is not required. Download and open 10 apps could be $2.00, cash out via amazon or paypal within the same day.

Bestmark: Since you are going to be out shopping anyways, why not make some of the money back that you are spending. Have to travel for the holidays, get paid to get your car serviced before you go. This company pays within 2 weeks of shop completion, so you could, potentially, shop up until the 10th of December and get the money by Christmas. I did three cosmetic shops and a date night, all paid for by them.

PaidViewpoint:  Get paid for your opinions, nice way to make sure you have some money coming in January to pay the December credit card bills.

Opinion Outpost: Be careful with this one, evaluate if they are compensating you enough for your time. do not do 45 min surveys for 5 points.. Cash out via paypal!

Ebates: Get paid quarterly for any shopping you do online. check with ebates before you order and watch the cash back add up. I've earned $1,341.73 to date with them.
