Last week I talked to you more about how you can earn gift cards with MyPoints. This week I want to review with you an awesome company called InboxDollars! It is very similar to MyPoints in the fact that you get paid to read (or just glance at) emails. The big difference here is you can actually earn CASH from InboxDollars, whereas you earn giftcards from MyPoints.

Here’s a little more information about Inbox Dollars:

EARN POINTS

Once you sign up, you will receive several emails per day. I would suggest setting up a separate email address just for Inbox Dollars (and MyPoints).

Open the email, click on the link to their advertiser site (usually says: “view this paid email”) and you earn cash, usually a couple cents per email…but they add up quickly!

This is something I do mindlessly as I’m watching TV at night.

You earn more cash by taking surveys or playing games!

REWARDS

Once you get $30, you can request a check! How easy is that? Go here to get started!

Today is MEGA SWAGBUCKS FRIDAY, which means instead of earning the usual 10-20 Swagbucks on a search, you can earn between 40-1000, even 2000 swagbucks on a single search!! I seriously LOVE Swagbucks. I think it’s one of the easiest ways to make money. You’re already doing internet searches anyway, so why not use a search engine that pays you?

Here’s how it works.

Just sign up for Swagbucks. You get 30 Swagbucks just for signing up!

Make Swagbucks your home page so you always use it for your searches. Then, start searching! You usually earn 10 or 20 swagbucks every few searches. Redeem your swagbucks for gift cards or put the money in your paypal account! You only need 450 swagbucks (you can easily get that within the first 2 weeks) to earn a $5 Amazon card or 1300 swagbucks for a $5 Starbucks card…and they add up quickly! Seriously, if you’re not using Swagbucks, you’re missing out on FREE money! There’s no obligation and no strings attached. I even downloaded the toolbar and have not had ANY problems. It’s just too easy!

So get started and let me know if you’re a big winner!!

If you are already a Swaggernut, don’t forget to earn your bonus Swagbucks everyday!

There are many other ways to earn…read all about them in my Swagbucks for Dummies post.
