1. Take Online Surveys
One of the most popular side hustles is to take paid online survey. There are a number of websites and apps that offer surveys and getting started is easy.
The flexibility is definitely one of the major perks of taking surveys for money. You have complete freedom with your schedule, and you can even take an online survey when you have just a short amount of time to spare (most take only a few minutes). Some people even take surveys while they’re watching TV.
Aside from the flexibility, another perk is that anyone can do it. You don’t need any specific skills or experience.
Some survey websites also offer several other ways to make money, like watching videos playing games, installing apps.
If you want to maximize your income from surveys, the best approach is to join a few different sites. Each site offers a limited number of surveys, so using a few different sites will increase the number of surveys you’re able to take.
Some of our favorite survey websites and apps are:
- swagbucks ($5 signup bonus)
- mypoints ($10 signup bonus)
- survey junkie
- branded survey
- inbox dollar ($5 signup bonus)
How to Get Started with Online Surveys:
Getting started is easy. You can sign up and start earning money on the same day.- Create a new email address with Gmail (or some other free service) to use for the survey sites.
- Signup at each survey site listed above.
- Complete the initial profile or intro survey so they have some basic information about you (to find the surveys that you are eligible for).
- Start taking surveys. Each one will list the amount that you can earn and the time needed for the survey, so start with the ones that offer the best rate per hour.
2. Passive Income Apps
There are several apps that provide passive income streams. None of these apps will pay you a huge amount of money individually, but if you use a few of the apps together, you can make a nice chunk of change for doing next to nothing (free money). Here are a few of the best apps that you might want to consider:
MobileXpression
MobileXpression is a research company that will pay you to get access to your mobile browsing activity. All you need to do is sign up and install the app on your phone, and then every now and then you can open the app to claim points and redeem them for prizes. You’ll be able to earn gift cards for Amazon or many other stores/websites/restaurants of your choice. You can earn about $50 in rewards per year simply by having the app installed and active. And thanks to a signup bonus, you can earn a $5 gift card your first week of using the app.

Nielsen Computer and Mobile Panel
Another option that’s similar to MobileXpression is Nielsen Computer and Mobile Panel. Install it on your computers and devices and you’ll earn up to $50 per year in gift cards or PayPal cash. It’s an easy way to make money online without paying.
UpVoice
UpVoice is also completely passive. Just install it and you’ll earn rewards for visiting many of your favorite websites like YouTube, Twitter, Amazon, and LinkedIn. You can earn up to $75 per year just for visiting websites that you probably already visit on a daily basis.

Honeygain
Honeygain is another interesting app that’s completely passive. All you need to do is install the app on your device (Android, macOS, Windows) and it will work in the background. Honeygain will share your unused net traffic with data scientists who use the Honeygain network, and they’ll compensate you for it. The amount you can earn will depend on a lot of factors like your internet connection and how many GB you share with the Honeygain network. For example, if you share 10 GB per day you can earn up to $30 per month.

3. Microtasks
There are several different microtasking website that allow you to earn money by completing small tasks. This can include things like moderating content, basic research, categorizing data, and more. The tasks are simple and quick. You’ll get paid a small amount for each task and you’ll be able to complete a large volume of tasks.
Just like online surveys, microtasks are not the highest-paying side hustle, but the work is extremely flexible. You can sign up for a few different tasking websites and work as much or as little as you want. You can work a few hours in chunks, or just a few minutes whenever you have some spare time.
Some of the leading websites for microtasks are:
- Amazon’s Mechanical Turk
- Clickworker
- Microworkers
- swagbucks ($5 signup bonus)
- InboxDollars ($5 signup bonus)
If you decide to use microtasks as a way to make money, be sure to track the amount you’re earning per hour. Some of the tasks won’t be worth your time, so try to take the best tasks and leave the ones that don’t pay enough to justify your time.

How to Get Started with Microtasks:
- Create an account at the websites listed above.
- Check the available tasks to see how much they pay and how long they will take.
- Perform the tasks that seem to be worth your time, and track your hourly wage.
4. Test Websites
Another flexible side hustle is to get paid to test websites and apps. Of course, companies need to get user feedback related to their designs and the functionality of their sites and apps, and some are willing to pay people to provide that feedback.
There are several different websites where you can sign up to be a tester. Some of the best ones include:
- Userfeel
- user testing
- userlytics
The amount of money that you make will depend on several factors, but in general, you’ll earn between $10 – $60 per test. The tests will often involve recording audio or video while you’re using the site or app.
The only downside to this side hustle is that the opportunities are somewhat limited. It’s become a popular way to make money online, so there are more testers than opportunities at times. If you sign up with several different websites, you can get notifications when new tests are available, but it’s not something you can do on a large scale.
How to Get Started as a Website Tester:
- Signup as a tester at the websites listed above.
- Make sure that you have the needed equipment. Typically, you’ll need a computer with an internet connection, a webcam, and a mic. Most laptops will be sufficient.
- Take the initial test to qualify and be eligible for paid gigs.
- Check the testing opportunities that are available and follow the directions.
5. Research
Another highly flexible side hustle that just about anyone can do is to conduct research. The research opportunities that are available vary from simple tasks like finding and verifying addresses to much more detailed and thorough professional research.
Because the opportunities vary, the pay and other details surrounding the work will also vary. But in general, it’s very flexible work that can be done from home (or anywhere with an internet connection).
Some sites that offer work for researchers include:
- wonder
- rws
- clickworker
6. Play Games
Like all the other options listed in this section, playing games is a very flexible way to make some extra income. As you might expect, most people that do this will make small amounts of money, but it can be done in your spare time and you’ll actually enjoy it. When was the last time you got paid to play a game?
There are a few different ways to make money by playing games, the only game I recommend is Womplay.
On September, 1st, Wombat released Womplay — a rewards platform designed for passionate players that gets them crypto and NFTs from playing games. The best part is — many your favorite titles from Forge of Empires to Raid Shadow Legends will be integrated with it!
Want to learn more about Womplay and how you can start getting rewards already? Then this post is just for you!
How does Womplay work?
Womplay will feature several types of Challenges with different payout schemes. In total, players can jump in on:
- Quick Play. A selected tier of browser games will be available to bring more variety on Womplay and provide you with easy earning options. However, the Quick Play selection can only award you with 300 Wombucks per day collectively.
- Quests. In the upper right corner, you can see a quest scroll with daily tasks for you. In exchange, you will get Wombucks.
- NFT Rewards. Completing special kind of quests, you can get game-themed NFTs of five different rarities!
- Missions. Use your NFTs in a story-driven adventure and win both crypto and Wombucks!
- the slot machine. Feeling like your NFTs don’t have enough juice? Run the Slot Machine to change their attributes!
- Loot boxes. Premium loot boxes grant you Wombucks, NFT or crypto every day. Opening those costs 50000 Wombucks. Normal lootboxes contain Wombucks rewards and are completely free of charge. Nothing you need to do, just bust that chest open!
- Performance-based Challenges. You might find these familiar if you have ever taken part in a Wombattle: to win more, you will have to best your competitors. It could be reaching a milestone faster than the others or playing the game for the longest time and so on. These Challenges will always be limited in terms of duration and the number of winners. All Womplay users who opted in for such a Challenge will be able to track their progress on a leaderboard. Generally, these Challenges last several days with the payouts done directly in EOS.
- Routine In-Game Actions. Performing certain in-game actions, such as reaching milestones, using items or making purchases, will also earn you some Wombucks. These Wombucks will serve you well later, which brings us to…
- Cash-out Events. Opting in for these timed events will allow you to get a share of a fixed prize pool in pBTC or EOS. These events last a week and typically end on Fridays, at 13:00 CET.
How do I start on Womplay?
To use Womplay, you will need to have an EOS account created with, or imported to wombat. Other wallets will not be compatible.
Womplay will create an EOS account for you when you sign up. However, if you’re already registered on Wombat, please, choose the exact same signup method that you used on Wombat. Same works the other way around — to store or transfer your Womplay earnings, please log into Wombat with the exact same signup method that you used on Womplay.
Don’t panic if you only have a Telos account though — you can still create an EOS one in advance. Here’s how you can do it.
Through the Wallet. On Wombat, go to your Wallet screen and tap on EOS. Tap or click on any of the actions with the asset (Send, Receive, Trade). Alternatively, go to Settings, proceed to Keys & Accounts and tap on EOS. This will take you to the account creation flow.
Through the cash-out event. Once you join the cash-out event, you will be prompted to create an EOS account on Womplay.
Follow the instructions in the account creation screen and you will be done in no time! If you already have an EOS account, you can import it as well.
How can I earn on Womplay?
To convert your Wombucks to EOS or pBTC, you will need to join the special cash-out event — you will see a purple button under the prize pool. All the Wombucks in your active balance above will count towards your reward. These events typically last for a week and end on Fridays, at 13:00 CET.
Your earnings depend on two things: the total amount of Wombucks submitted for the event and your share of those. For instance, if all the challengers contribute 100,000 Wombucks with you putting in 16,000 Wombucks, you will get 16% of the prize pool. Note that this share might change as more Womplayers join the event and contribute moreWombucks.
Am I limited in my earnings?
Our Quick Play games have a daily cap of 300 Wombucks.
There isn’t a daily or weekly maximum amount, so there is nothing stopping you from going on a play-to-earn craze!
