Welcome to my new blog! We are going to kick off this adventure with some fun finance tips on which online platforms offer the best returns for your time (I know it’s very random). I plan on writing more personalized posts on this blog in the future, but for now, let’s just test the waters. Plus, with the pandemic going on and millions of people out of jobs, I thought it could be useful to introduce some ways to earn some beer money. This post is not sponsored.

Branded Surveys

Branded Surveys (or gobranded.com) is a well-known survey taking site that used to be called Mintvine. I have great reviews for this platform because they are one of the highest paying programs out there. They have also recently improved their payout system so that it is so much faster now to approve and redeem your points for gift cards (Walmart, Target, Staples, etc) or cash via Paypal. It’s super user-friendly and their customer service is always responsive and helpful. The dashboard doesn’t show me exactly how much I have made during my whole time on the platform, but I would estimate that it is well over $1,000 over the course of a few years using the service off-and-on.

Swagbucks

Swagbucks is a free online rewards membership program that I love taking surveys on. This platform has been the OG for the past few years — ever since I started high school basically. You can choose from a plethora of activities to earn SB (the currency that Swagbucks uses) like take high-paying surveys, scan receipts, try products, watch videos, shop online, and play games. Personally, I think taking surveys is the best option because it has the highest ROI. The points you earn can be used to redeem gift cards (Amazon, Walmart, etc) or Paypal payments. I’ve made more than $2,000 total so far, more than half of which came from survey rewards.

InstaGC

InstaGC is a website where you can earn gift cards and cash (much like the others) for shopping, watching videos, testing apps, and completing surveys. The difference with this platform is that you can also redeem your points for Bitcoin! So if you’re into cryptocurrency, I would definitely try this out. Again, the website does not let me see how much I have made from the service during the lifetime of my account, but my estimate is about the same as the one from Branded Surveys.
