Katy’s Guest Post

There are lots of ways to make money online and today I am going to share with you some of my favourites. I have been a fan of making money online for a number of years and I left my job in 2013. Since then I have been self-employed full time and I do not plan on ever going back to work for anyone else!

In the early months I used to spend hours completing surveys for a very small amount of money. I do still complete online surveys, however I pick and choose the best companies now. When I started out I was very happy to earn £100 a week, now I make more than £100 a day across the month. I am going to share with you my best methods for making money online that ANYONE can take part in.

Using smartphone applications

Owning a smartphone is a sure fire way to make some extra money. There are lots of different apps out there that allow you to get paid for completing random tasks. These tasks can be as simple as photographing the food in your fridge or visiting a local supermarket and taking some photographs of stock. The tasks are varied and the fees typically range from a few pounds upwards. Most tasks take just a few minutes of time and some can be completed from the comfort of your own home. Field Agent is a fantastic application with tasks regularly available.

Completing paid Surveys

Surveys are one of the more well known ways to make money online. Companies are regularly looking for people to answer surveys and provide feedback on a number of topics. Surveys are worth various amounts of money and there are lots of companies out there. The best company, in my opinion, is Prolific Academic. By ensuring that surveys are paid at more than £5 per hour you can get a nice amount of money for your time. Many surveys are regularly worth more than this and I have earned more than £500 from surveys in less than a year just from this one company.

Matched betting

This is an absolutely fantastic way to make money online, especially if you are limited on time. The basics of matched betting are that you will open accounts with different bookies and bet exchanges. You will then combine offers, using video and text based guides, to ensure that you make a guaranteed profit on any bets that you place. Profit Accumulator have a free trial available that will allow you to earn around £45 completely free.

You will need around £60 to get started, or more if you want to maximise your returns. By using the guides that Profit Accumulator offer you will have your hand held through the process and in a matter of days you will have your free profit through. Myself, and many others online, are making more than £1000 per month.

Website testing

You can get paid £8 to test websites and mobile apps with WhatUsersDo. The only equipment that you require for these tests is a laptop and/or a smartphone.

These tests are super simple, mostly, and take around 10 minutes to complete. Tests are available throughout the month as a large variety of different brands require their websites and mobile applications to be tested. In addition to the paid mobile tests they frequently have other special projects available for up to £50.

Mystery Shopping

Have you ever wanted to be paid to consume a meal or make a purchase in a store? You can with MarketForce. They work with a large variety of different restaurants, shops and other businesses. They require regular testers to visit stores, make purchases and consume food. After doing so you will be required to report back on your findings.

Typical payment includes a 3 course lunch reimbursement and an additional fee for completing this job. There are 100s of jobs available each and every week across the United Kingdom.

These are just a selection of the ways that you can make yourself some extra money online. If you want to find out more, and find other ways to boost your bank balance, that you can visit my website.
