For about a year and a half now, I have been doing a few side hustles to get extra money each month. Some of these take a few hours a week and some only take a few minutes. But in total, I made $80 last month and am on par to make $300 this month! Crazy! For the next few weeks, I’m going to tell you some of the things I do as part of my side hustle.

We’ll start off this series with the side hustle I started with and have been doing the longest. InboxDollars.

InboxDollars lets you earn money based on reading emails, taking surveys, trying products, signing up for emails, etc.

When I first started using InboxDollars, I was trying to take every survey possible but really their surveys are long and the payments are not worth the time. However, they pay a lot for trials and signing up for products. Once you hit $30, you can request a check and join their Gold Club. The Gold Club entitles you to Referral Rewards for people who sign up for InboxDollars with out a referrer. After that, you can withdrawn your cash every time you hit $30.

I have been slowly doing less and less stuff on InboxDollars, but still consider it a great place to get a few extra bucks each month. Last month I earned $7.50 through them. The way to get big bucks is to check out their 100% Free Offers section and their Easy Cash section. Also check the emails they send because you can find good deals on them. Recently I did a GameFly 1 month trail that cost me $8.99 but I got $10 from InboxDollars for doing it!

I highly recommend InboxDollars as a way to get some passive cash for little effort.
