Get Paid for Answers with Google Opinions and Other Surveys

Recently, Google released a new app to the Play Store called Google Opinion Rewards. The concept is simple: answer a few questions every once in a while and get some free credit for the Play Store. It won't be much, but the app will send you a notification when you can fill out a new survey and they're typically only a few questions long. Within thirty seconds or so, you could get an extra dollar. That's a return on your time investment roughly equal to making $120 per hour.

Of course, if you don't have Android or simply prefer real money to Google Play credit, there are plenty of other services you can try. CashCrate is another site that pays money in exchange for filling out surveys that can be done within a matter of minutes. As with Google's version, there's a limit to how much you can make with surveys alone (and there are other, more burdensome options like completing offers that will attempt to suck you in further), but filling out one minute surveys once a day or when they pop up can still accumulate actual money if you're diligent.

If you're looking for sites that you can perform quick tasks to earn a bit of money, here are a few of the legit ones. While individual tasks can be quick, it's also up to you to not let it take up your time if you want to keep to the minimal effort goal:

Make Money While You're Out with Apps Like Ibotta and Gigwalk

Couponing is a lot like most hobbies. If you really want to get enthusiastic about it, there's almost no limit to how deep the rabbit hole goes. However, you don't have to go all out and turn couponing into a full-time job if you don't want to. Apps like previously-featured Ibotta allow you to pick up a few cents here and there during your regular, everyday shopping. Ibotta will show you a selection of items that have deals available for them. Some of the deals require you to complete a quick survey or even "learn a fact" which is, essentially, just tapping "Okay" once. After that, you just have to scan a picture of your receipt to claim your reward.

Gigwalk can be used on a similar principle, checking for nearby "gigs" that you can complete for cash. Retailers sign up and enter tasks like auditing a display or checking to make sure things are in order. You can think of it like bite-sizedsecret shopping. The great thing is that many gigs are available at large retailers like Walmart, so if there's one available at the store you're already going to, you can make an extra few bucks just by stopping by the electronics department.

Get an Amazon Affiliate Buddy

We've talked before about how you can save some money with an Amazon Affiliate buddy. The basic idea is that you and a friend each sign up for theAmazon Associates program and give each other your referral codes. Every time you buy something from Amazon, add your buddy's code. Every time one of you buys something, you get money for the other person. While your ability to make money for yourself is dependent on their shopping habits, it requires virtually no input on your part. And chances are, you have at least one friend that shops on Amazon as much as you do, so snatch them up before someone else tries to claim them as their affilitate buddy.
