10 Easy Ways to Make Money Online
Whether you’re a millennial struggling to make rent, a stay at home mom with unexpected expenses, or a college student looking for some extra cash, there are lots of ways you can make money from home. And many of them are easy! So if you’re ready to make some money easily online, check out this list to get started.
1 Take online surveys
This is one of the most popular ways of making money online–and because it’s simple and can get you up to $250 a month, it’s easy to see why. Check out SurveysSay.com’s list of the top 24 legit paid survey websites, with reviews and info about pay. Focus groups and product testing, more specialized versions of online surveys, are even more lucrative. So find what’s right for you and start making some money!
2 Review websites
With so many websites out there (like this one!), search engines like Google are always searching for people who can rank and review them. Leap Force is a great way to make money, with pay at $11 an hour and a flexible schedule, too. For additional options, check out this list from theworkathomewoman.com.
3 Try out trial offers
This is one of those easy ways to make money that works if you know how the system works. Basically, sites like Project Payday will pay you to download a free trial of a product–and make their money if you forget about your download and end up having to pay after the free trial is over. However, if you’re good at keeping track of things, or make a calendar of when these products expire, then you can always cancel the trial before you get charged. It’s an easy way to make cash that takes barely any work at all!
4 Watch videos online
From getting paid to watch Youtube videos, movie trailers and commercials, and even Netflix (a way for Netflix to ensure their content is categorized properly), there are lots of ways to make money by watching videos online.

5 Transcribe
If you’re good at listening and you’re a fast typist, then becoming a transcriptionist is another stress-free way to make money online. SpeakWrite pays up to $15/hour–so if you think you’re up for the task, type away! Other companies can be found here.
