List of Sites That Pay You Fast

This is very highly rated survey panel. They didn’t pay that fast before, but they’ve made some changes and now if you request a Paypal payment from them, you’ll usually see it within a day or sooner. You have to have $10 to cash out to Paypal.

If you want to make some extra spending money via Amazon gift cards from your phone or tablet, this is a great app for it. Users are able to hit the cash out minimum of $10 quickly and once you have that amount, you can get your gift card code immediately upon request. Go here to download the app on your Android or iPhone and get started.

This is a simple browser addon that you install and it will present you with a side bar full of relevant products to click on when you perform a search for something. Clicking on the items will reward you with a few cents or as much as a dollar. They now offer surveys as a way to earn, too! You can install the Qmee addon in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer and Opera. The pay is basically instant and you only need a penny to cash out! It goes straight to Paypal within a few minutes, usually. Go here to register at Qmee.

This is a survey panel that pays $3 a survey. You can expect your money within a day if you choose Paypal or within a few days if you’re mailed a paper check.

They are not always open, but you can sign up now.

One of the best! This is basically the most popular reward site, and they’ve paid out over $40 million dollars to users since they got started. I’ve used this site and been paid many, many times. Amazon and Paypal are the two most popular options for redemption, although there are other things to choose from, too. You only need 500 SB in your account to get a cash out on Swagbucks, and it’s realistic to get a couple every week if you use this site consistently. Payouts are also fast. You can expect a payment sometimes within 48 hours, although it says in their terms to give them up to 10 days.

I’ve talked about this smartphone app quite a lot, and it is one of my favorites to use. How fast they pay is one good reason why I like them so much! You use it while you are out shopping. They have a lot of products listed on their offer wall, mostly grocery products, and if you buy those while you’re out, you can upload your receipt to Ibotta and they’ll pay you back some actual cash for proving you bought the item(s). You only need $20 to get paid to Paypal, and they send it almost instantly after you request it.

Another survey panel that pays fast, but you do have to have $15 in your account before you can cash out. This can take a while to reach if you don’t have a lot of referrals. They are owned by the same people that run Instant Cash Sweepstakes. Typically payment comes to Paypal the same day you request it, although it has taken up to three days before.

This is another GPT site like many others, but definitely worth signing up for if you like instant payments. Complete surveys, offers, play games and more to earn cash. Once you’ve earned $20, you can cash out immediately to your PayPal account. Also, if you’re looking for jobs for teens. you’ll be happy to know this site lets you sign up as a teen with parental consent.

Another fantastic survey panel that still pays users in cash, not redeemable points. In the past, this site only paid out via check, but they’ve recently added Paypal as an option. Also, Paypal payments here are much faster than if you request a check. If you cash out via Paypal, you’ll see your earnings sometimes within 5-10 business days.

Go here to become a member at Mindfield. This panel is not always open to new members.

So the sites above might be good to use if you need access to a few things where you don’t have to wait long redeem. Do you know of any others? Please share in the comments!

Pocket a little cash without getting scammed.

Avoid the get-rich-quick schemes by sticking to these sites. (iStockphoto)

It doesn’t take much time to run across someone pitching a “get-rich-quick” scheme online. We’ve all seen them – people who promise to show you how to make thousands at home in your spare time.

Guess what? Like any get-rich-quick scheme. it’s only going to make money for the person running the scheme.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t reputable ways to earn a little bit of money online during your spare time. There are many easy and legal ways to earn a few bucks on the Internet. Here are nine to try:

Mechanical Turk is a program run by Amazon where anyone can sign up and complete simple tasks – like choosing which of two pictures depicts a bridge – to earn a few cents per task. With some practice, you can earn a few dollars an hour while just sitting on your couch watching television. And with enough focus, you can earn an amount roughly equal to minimum wage.

YouTube allows anyone to post nonexplicit videos on pretty much any topic they desire. Recording a video can be as simple as turning on the camera on your computer and hitting the record button. If you enable advertisements on your videos, you can earn money at a rate of about $1 to $3 per 1,000 video views. The more videos the have, the more views you can accrue, so this option really pays off if you record a lot of videos and build a viewership.

eLance allows people in almost any profession to find freelance work at home in their spare time. While the projects on eLance aren’t going to earn you a ton of money, they do provide a great way to build an independent portfolio to show off your skills while also building a network of clients.

Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing allows anyone who has written a book on their own to upload it to Amazon to be sold on Amazon Kindle devices. Let’s say you write a novel and want to sell it. If you upload it here and then promote it online through social media or blogs, you can sell copies of your book and earn as much as a 70 percent return on each sale.

Fotolia allows you to sell photos you’ve taken for stock photography usage. For example, if a publisher is looking for a picture of a beach and you uploaded such a picture, the publisher can use Fotolia to purchase the rights to use that picture in its publication and you receive a cut of that money. For a photography hobbyist, this is a great way to earn a few dollars for some of your best photos.

Swagbucks is perhaps the most popular – and most legitimate – of the online survey sites. Swagbucks pays you a small amount for participating in a consumer survey, which companies then use to figure out what kinds of products to make and sell. You can participate in several surveys a day, and Swagbucks earnings can be redeemed for gift cards from Amazon, Target, iTunes and more.

Fiverr is a website where you can make $5 doing almost anything. On the site, people upload jobs that they’re willing to do for $5, like writing Facebook posts for companies. Many of the jobs require creative skills such as graphic design or audio editing, but tasks are things you can easily do on the couch in your spare time.

Skillshare is a website where you can teach an online class and get paid for it. You record series of videos on a topic that you know about – popular subjects include crafts, film, fashion and cooking – and then participate on the Skillshare forums related to your class. In exchange, you receive a cut of the money from the people who take your class. No teaching degree is necessary to get started, and the site says teachers can earn an average of $3,500 a year.
