How To Make A Lot Of Money Online

Short answer: You can't. Sorry to burst your bubble, but you know it's true; after all, if you could earn $88/hour from the comfort of your home just by clicking things on teh intertoobz, then no one would actually work any real jobs.

You can, however, make a little money online.

How much? Well, less than minimum wage, to be honest. This isn't something to consider as a career. Think of it instead as something akin to coupon clipping; it saves a bit here and there, because why not?

For example, if you were to use Memolink to shop at Macy's, you would earn 32 points, or $0.02 per dollar you spent. Obviously, that's not going to earn you a living, but you're not shopping to make a living. You're shopping to buy something you were already planning to buy anyway. And so, you get 2% cash back for free. If you were already searching for coupon codes to try and save money, why not use this?

The videos available from sites like Swagbucks easily blend into the background; keep the volume low and you can easily let them drone in the background while you work. The maximum you can earn is $1.50 per day, but if it takes no effort on your part, that's $1.50 for free.

Bing isn't quite as good as Google, but it's probably functional for most searches; why not sign up for Bing Rewards and earn $5/month with absolutely no effort since you already needed to search anyway? And if you aren't comfortable letting Microsoft track your search history, there's always the Bing Bot to make searching easy. Microsoft doesn't mind!

And if you can't work but would like to supplement your social security cheque any way you can, why not earn the occasional amazon gift card for free ? InstaGC has low cashout thresholds; given their 10 point joining bonus, it's quite possible to earn enough to cash out a $1 Amazon gift card by completing only one offer!

I use coupon codes. I have a rewards credit card. I belong to every points-based loyalty program I've heard of. I'm sitting on foreign currency because I refuse to pay fees to exchange it. When I eat out, I always order to-go so I don't have to pay restaurant prices for drinks. I pinch so many pennies, it's only natural I'd take advantage of these sorts of things.

Advertising disclaimer: I was paid 25 Points (25¢) by InstaGC for this post.
