Then I went to just one job: Mother (and I love this one too!)
Once I took on one job, the job of being a mom, I found that I felt a
little on the useless side. Now, realistically, I knew I wasn't useless,
but I hated not helping financially. And even though The Hubs made
enough for us to live on, I didn't feel like I should be spending
anything on myself, or any extra treats. There was also no way for me to
surprise The Hubs with any gifts or treats. He knew exactly how much
was going into the bank account, since he was the one putting it there!
So, I started to do little things on the computer, to earn just a little
extra 'mad money'. I've actually been able to bank a decent amount of
cash in the short time I've been doing it. I also had a few total
misses. So, take my advice (if you'd like) and save yourself the trouble
of sorting the good from the annoying!
Treasure Troopers (for me) was a total bust. Way too many bells
and whistles to keep track of! I don't even remember my account
information for that one anymore!
Mypoints is working ok for me, but there is a pretty high cash
out volume, and you can only get gift cards. I prefer cash! If you'd
like an invite to Mypoints, please contact me!
Swagbucks
is where I've landed and it's really working well for me. I've found
several little tips and tricks to get the most bang for my (swag)buck!
~ Get the Swagbucks App for your phone. You can't do everything
from the app, but you can grab a few points a day while you're waiting
in line or stuck under a baby at naptime!
~ Get the Swagbucks TV App... this is a big swagbuck earner for me
for mobile! I turn it on and just let it play! You will earn 2 swagbucks
for every 5 videos that play on your phone. (secret tip: you don't have
to watch them, just let them keep playing!) I actually find some of the
videos really interesting! You can only earn swagbucks for a video once
a day, but there are a couple of hundred videos throughout several
different categories, so it's not hard to get the variety you need. You
can earn 70 Swagbucks a day, just by letting these play through on your
phone. You can click individual videos on your computer on the Swagbucks
site and earn even more! They don't count towards the same total!
~Shopping... yes, I know, this is the one that everyone hate to
hear... "I have to spend money to get money?"... I get it, trust me, I
do. I don't do a ton of online shopping (save for Etsy), but I've found a
way to increase my online shopping, without spending a penny more than I
normally would at the store! I buy my essentials from Walmart (have to
click from the Swagbucks link to get your points) online. Diapers,
Wipes, Toilet Paper, Napkins, Paper Plates, Food (dry goods or
non-perishable food is all you can get online), Dishwasher Soap, etc. If
you spend a certain dollar amount (right now it is $35, normally it is
$50), shipping is free! So, not only do you save yourself a trip to the
store and the gas to get there, but now you are also earning Swagbucks
for your shopping! 2,500 Swagbucks=$25 in Paypal cash! There are plenty
of gift cards available for smaller amounts of swagbucks, but the Paypal
cash is the one I always want! I can use it to shop online, or put it
into our bank account!
