OG ticktock: Make Money Fast And Easy

Making money takes work, but work is too hard.

Luckily, there are some ways to make money with little to no effort. Thanks to apps, basic investment tools, and savvy shopping strategies, you can make get extra cash without doing much.

Though some of these methods do take some work up front, they can set you up to earn passive income for the long term.

Here are 29 ways to make money with minimum effort.

29. House-sit for someone else.

If you can find the right opportunity, house sitting is easy money. You literally just sit in someone's house and do what you'd normally do, except you get more money for it.

28. Get paid for improving products.

dScout is kind of like a more advanced version of Inboxdollars and Swagbucks. Instead of earning money in a relatively passive way, dScout is an app where you can sign up for "missions."

Companies that want to get consumer research will offer elaborate "missions" that you can sign up for on the app. They might involve going to a supermarket and checking the availability of granola bars, or testing out a device.

While completing the mission, you need to answer survey questions, and they'll pay you for it. It's not always easy to get accepted to a mission, but if you do, you can stand to make much more money than with Inboxdollars or Swagbucks. It's not uncommon to see missions that pay out around $50.

27. Get money back when the price drops on your purchases.

If the price dropped on something you recently bought, you can use Earny to get the difference back. The bot scans your inbox and takes advantage of price protection policies you may not even know about. Just note that it takes 25% of the difference it makes back for you. And many credit card also offer similar price protection features

26. Be a guinea pig for cosmetics companies.

Beauty brands go through a battery of tests before they get to market, so that each product can moisturize as well as possible, get to the right consistency, and achieve whatever other quality is necessary. The L'Oreal consumer testing program, for example, will send you stuff to try on — and then pay you for it.

25. Get paid for browsing the web.

Similarly, Swagbucks will pay you for installing an add-on that tracks your searches. Like Inboxdollars, they're a middleman for research firms that want to understand how people use the web.

You earn points for doing everyday things, and can redeem them for gift cards at stores you'd probably shop at anyway, like Amazon and Walmart.

24. Make money by taking surveys.

Taking mindless surveys is a time-honored way of making money from the web. InstaGC, Earnhoney, and Prizehoney are all reputable sites to do it. You should note, though, that they all have some minimum amount of money you need to get before you can cash out.

23. Get paid for watching TV and playing video games.

It's the dream, isn't it?

Sites like Inboxdollars and Cashcrate will pay you money to keep track of the television you watch, the video games you play, and other habits you might have already. All you have to do is take surveys to give your feedback, and they'll pay you.

The money comes from research firms that want to understand consumer habits

22. Build an app.

If there's a function you want on your smartphone, try making an app for it. With sites like Code Academy, learning to code is easier than ever.

If your app is good and people like it, you can easily make money in two ways. One way is to charge for it in Apple's App Store or Android's Google Play Store. Or you can sell ads on it, as you would on a website.
