• Passive Earning From Online Reward Programs

    Shopping has become more of online in the world today. When a person chooses to shop online, they switch between websites to check which one gives them the best offer. This is nothing out of the ordinary. However what seems to be a challenge is to see how to generate some kind of a passive income from these online shopping. The underlying aspect here is that what comes back to your credit alone should not be treated as income. Any discount that arises out of online purchases in the form of a reward should be considered as passive income. The following are some of the ways one can earn using online rewards.

    Coupons

    Some websites provide coupon codes when you register with them, which can be used to avail a discount or cash back. These coupons can be used during checkout in order to avail the benefits.

    Referrals

    There are some websites which give you benefits when you send referrals. For each person who clicks on the website that has been sent to them, the rewards increase. There was one a flat 50% off on bills if you purchased a Pizza and this was solely based on an online referral target. For each click from the referrals, your count increases and when it reaches the given target, you get a flat 50% off.

    Gateways

    At the time of checkout when an online purchase is done, one gets to use either their credit/debit cards or there is another option to pay through gateways. The recently famous one is the PayUmoney. Using these gateways one can earn reward points much the same way as done using credit cards. In addition to the reward points earned gateways also provide additional benefits such as additional discounts and cash back for specific bank’s credit cards and so on.

    Games

    Some websites have games such as a wheel of fortune which when rotated points to various benefits that can be used at the time of billing.

    Poll

    Some websites have a quick poll that has to be answered. This may lead to receipt of more gift coupons that can be used at one or more sites at the time of billing.

    Surveys

    Some surveys need time and not many give it away freely. Due to the timelines and importance of these surveys, some companies post them on websites and provide cash or reward points and discounts based on the successful completion of the surveys.

    The above mentioned are some of the ways to earn from online reward programs. If you are internet savvy and know where to look for such promising websites, then this is your gateway to earn passive income. A word of caution, some advertisements that flash across your screen mentioning ‘click me and earn $100’ could also be a gateway to virus. It is imperative to google and find out the effects if you are doubtful of the credibility of some advertisements.

  • 10 Second Job Ideas

    There are a ton of random things you can do on the weekends to supplement your present income if you don’t have the time to (and don’t really want to) get a regular, more conventional second job. Whether you are trying to save up a huge sum for other purposes, a second job can help you improve your cash flow. Here are 10 second job ideas:
    Bartender
    Many bartender jobs are flexible, allowing you to work evenings and weekends. You can keep your day job and earn money in the evenings.
    Rent Out Your Driveway
    You can still make money from it by renting out your driveway. There are now a number of agencies, including letmepark.com and other websites that match motorists looking for regular parking slots with homeowners with spare drive space. Rates may vary depending on location and the demand for parking in the area.
    Do Data Entry
    There are job opportunities that allow you to do data entry or transcription work from home in your spare time. Just make sure the company you sign up with is legit. Check with the Better Business Bureau first or look for company complaints online that warn of scams.
    Teach a Class
    If you have a skill, talent, or education in an area, you can host a class at the local community center. Charge a few dollars for admission and teach crafts, knitting, scrapbooking, yoga, computer skills, or a foreign language.
    Overnight Day Care
    There are some parents that need to work overnight shifts, or that have other reasons to have their children watched at odd hours. You can provide overnight day care services, filling a need. Of course, if the kids are up, you won’t get much sleep. But, once many kids get used to the routine, they’ll sleep through the night.
    Freelancer
    You can do freelance work on the side to earn extra money. Writing, graphic design, web design, and software development are some of the jobs that you can do on a freelance basis. As long as you have the requisite skills, it’s possible for you to do this work — and do it when it’s convenient for you.
    Be a Photographer
    If you have a way with the camera, offer to take family pictures for friends and family. Word can spread until you get some regular weekend work. Charge a little less than the competition.
    Ask for Overtime
    Taking inventory, cleaning the office, or catching up on work tasks may be legitimate reasons for you to earn extra cash on your days off.
    Become a Craft Vendor
    If you have a talent for making creative things, sell your wares at festivals, fairs, farmer’s markets.
    Bus Driver
    Many cities hire bus drivers for certain routes and times. These state affairs might also be true of train operators and others working with public transportation. After going through the training process, you will be assigned your route, and you can start earning extra money on the weekend or during the evening.
    Virtual Assistant
    Many business people make use of virtual assistants. You perform administrative tasks like reading emails, arranging travel, making appointments, creating memos, and doing other tasks. In many cases, it’s possible to work in early mornings and evenings, as well as on the weekend, arranging your workload around your “regular” job.
