Ways to: Earn Extra Money From Home $$$

Today;
I am going to share my two favorite ways to earn some extra money from home.


First is OpinionOutpost
This is a site that pays people to take surveys, basically you get paid for your opinions. 
There are all kinds of surveys, from beauty products to food to political opinions. Most of the surveys pay out from about .50 cents to $1.50. I have gotten a few $5 surveys and I even received a $10.
The down part is most of the surveys that they send you you probably will not qualify for, you do get 1 prize drawing just for trying and you get entered into a quarterly $10,000 giveaway. I have yet to win that but I honestly doubt I will ever win. (I can dream though)
The best part is that once you get 100 points, which is the equivalent of $10 you can redeem that into your pay pal account. They also have amazon gift cards where you only need to earn $5 to redeem it. Then they send you an email with a code to redeem your money.

It is fairly easy to earn money through this, it just takes some time. When I first joined I made money pretty fast and earned about $60 the first month. However I wasn't working or going to school at that time so I had a lot of free time. Some of these surveys can be very very time consuming with a low pay out rate. But some of them are the opposite so it really really just depends. I joined in January of 2013 and to date I have made about $700 in gift cards and redeeming to my pay pal account. So you really can earn some good money with this site. If you have some time and want to earn some extra money relatively fast then this site is definitely for you. 


Second is Swagbucks
This is a site that pays people to take surveys, watch videos, search the internet, and so much more. I have found that this site takes a very long time to earn money, however I do find it relatively easy to earn points on it. My favorite way to earn points is to watch videos, I watch the animal videos since they are the shortest. When you watch 10 videos you receive 3 swagbucks. I will just open it up and then go to a new tab and browse the internet and click back on it once in a while to see if the video has stopped and click on the next one.
Another way that I earn swagbucks is I do the discover break, sometimes its quick and easy and I can just watch a video or explore a few websites and in 30 seconds to 1 minute I have earned 2 swagbucks. 
100 swagbucks= 1 dollar. Like opinion outpost they pay off to pay pal also, however you have to have at least 2,500 swagbucks which is $25 to pay off. Also something I don't like is it takes about 10 days for the money to appear in your account. Definitely a major downside. 
But with this site you can earn 50-100 swagbucks for taking one survey if you qualify and right there you already have $1.00....it can be a very slow process but if you work hard and have the time you can a good amount of money at the end of it. What I like is that for one amazon $5 gift card you only need 450 points versus for most gift cards you need 500 points.
Another positive to swagbucks is that they offer more than just amazon gift cards you can get, target, starbucks, sephora, a visa rewards card. They honestly have everything. All of the cards are given via a promo code that is sent to your email.
So if you have the time and the patients, you can earn 100 swagbucks a day and in 5 days you could have a starbucks gift cards, or $5 for something you want off amazon.
Or if you save them like I do you can save up for something you really really want.
I have been using swagbucks since about July and have made $100.
