Here are our favorites:

1. Get up to $50,000 From This Company

Need a little extra cash to pay off credit card debt, remodel your house or to buy a big purchase?

We found a company willing to help.

Here’s how it works: If your credit score is at least 620, AmOne can help you borrow up to $50,000 (no collateral needed) with fixed rates starting at 5.99% and terms from 6 to 144 months.

Totally worth it.

2. Get Paid $225/Month While Watching Movie Previews

We’ve all been there. You sit down at the end of the day to unwind on your phone, and suddenly it’s two hours later and you’re in the weird part of YouTube again. How did I even get here?

But you don’t need to feel guilty about it anymore. Research companies will actually pay you to go down these video rabbit holes.

You could add up to $225 a month to your pocket by signing up for a free account with InboxDollars. They’ll present you with short video clips to choose from every day, then ask you a few questions about them.

You just have to answer honestly, and InboxDollars will continue to pay you every month. This might sound too good to be true, but it’s already paid its users more than $60 million.

It takes about one minute to sign up and start getting paid for your nightly zone-out.

3. Add $100 to Your Wallet for Trying Out Apps

Our smartphones are the world’s greatest time-killers. You can browse Facebook; watch a video; download a new app.

You’re doing all this anyway — why not get paid for it? With a website called KashKick, you could get paid for things like answering survey questions or downloading an app — up to $100 per app.

You can also earn money by playing games, watching videos and reading emails, but surveys are the main way to make money.

Once you earn $10 in your account, you can immediately get paid via Paypal. This is an easy way to make a little extra money while you’re killing time on your couch. All you need is your phone or computer.

4. Slash your homeowners or renters insurance by 20%

Did you know that a monitored home security system is your golden ticket to massive savings?

Brace yourself for the thrill of discounts, with some insurance companies offering a jaw-dropping 20% off your premium when a top-notch security system guards your fortress.

Insurance companies know that homes without security systems are three times more likely to be burglarized—an event that carries an average price tag of $2,600 before you consider any property damage. They don't want to deal with that extra expense, and neither do you.

Plus, because home or renters insurance is usually rolled into other things (like your mortgage), most people don't even know how much they're actually spending. Don't let homeowner's insurance sneakily eat your budget. Check your mortgage bill today to see what you're really paying. And then get set up with Simplisafe home security to protect your home and wallet.

5. Get Paid to Play Bingo

We all have our go-to time-killers on our phone. But this one actually gives you the chance to win up to $83 every time you play.

6. Get Paid Up to $140/Month Just for Sharing Your Honest Opinion

7. Should You Cancel Your Homeowners Insurance?

If you’re a homeowner, you probably have home insurance that you hardly ever think about — which is great because that means you haven’t needed to use it.

But if you’re not regularly reviewing your coverage and shopping around for competitive rates, you’re likely overpaying.

It’s super easy to find out, though. Provide Homeowners Savings will show you quotes and compare pre-qualified rates to make sure you’re getting the best price for your coverage.

Homeowners can save hundreds of dollars when they cancel their current homeowners insurance and switch this way. It takes just two minutes to get quotes from multiple insurers, so you can see all your options side-by-side. Get started here to see how much you could save.
