Welcome in! My names not Brad, nor am I really that big brained. I just thought this would be a catchy name for a website.
Anyways, here is a list of websites I utilize to make a little money here and there in my spare time.
Nothing game changing, nothing get rich quick. Just a steady stream of a few hundred every month.
Here are my top recommendations for earning daily cash and gift cards.
Best bang for your buck. Lots of tasks, videos, trivia, sign-up bonuses, and games. Payouts start at $3 for Amazon GCs or $25 for PayPal.
Sign up for SwagbucksGreat alternative with similar games as Swagbucks. Features a daily streak for logging in and daily lottery games for big payouts.
Earn a $10 CreditScan receipts and get points. Smaller payouts for games, but watch for double point weekends and other bonus offers.
Use code: HVWKNQ for 2,000 points!
Join FetchCash back on groceries, gas, and restaurant deals. Very lucrative for the first month! I average $0.15/gal cashback for gas then usually 2% cashback on groceries.
Get UpsideAnother cash back website with a solid sign up bonus. If your shopping for big ticket items this will earn you around 5% cash back (Give or take).
Join RaktuenPuts your spare internet bandwidth to use. Average earnings are ~$20-$25 every 3 months passively.
Start Earning PassivelyAnother gaming platform featureing PlayTime rewards among other patforms, but with low payout thresholds starting at $1.
Join MoneyTune$0.05 daily just for checking in. They offer surveys as well as Playtime Rewards games. Low payout threshhold at $3.
Join BrandBeeGet paid to take pictures of businesses or food businesses serve up. This is new to me as of March '25. I took a quickie picture of a coffee drive through nearby and a few days later I have $2 in my pocket. Others have reported cash back for pictures of their Taco Bell order, so could be paried well with the Upside app.
Join FotoPay$0.20 - $0.30 rewards to confirm you visted a specific store and report how you paid. This does not pay out in cash but Google Play credits. These can be used to purchase a movie or in my case in-game purchases to further a goal.
Join Google OpinoinsThis app will monitor your driving activity and reward you for being easy on the brakes, not being distracted, and not speeding. 200 Points earns you a $2 gift card.
This app pays you to watch TV. Strap a sensor to your hand, then provide feedback good or bad on the show you're watching. Payments are generally in the $5 per half hour range which means you could get paid $20 to watch a football game.
Another offer to get paid to watch TV. This one sends you a webcam that watches your TV monitoring habits watching your reaction to pivotal cliffhanger moments or more importantly, what commercials are grabbing your attention.
Yes it may be a little creepy having a webcam watching you in the privacy of your own living room but as an out of shape 40 something year old guy no one is enjoying watching me. And for $15 a month, it's more than I could earn from OnlyFans.
Join TVisionThis is a Mystery Shop app. I got paid $15 + the cost of my sandwich to review a Firehouse Sub.
You can also take pictures of and audit product displays in the aisles of your local grocery store, pharamcy, Target or Wal-Mart.
If you have a small business or live in a high foot traffic area, purchase and install a Helium Mobile Hotspot. You'll be providing public wifi and earning money for offloading data from cell towers.
