Post Beermoney?
Not entirely sure if this is a topic that is allowed on here (if it isn't, please let me know and I'll gladly delete this post.)
But anyway.

BEERMONEY. (Or maybe we should call it TOYMONEY here?)
Basically money you can make in your spare time by doing stupid things like surveys and scanning barcodes at stores, offering online tutoring through websites, stuff like that.
Anyone here involved in any of that and want to share their best money-making sites/apps?

I currently have a whole arsenal of apps on my phone for stuff like this, but the best one I've found so far is an app called QuickThoughts where you do a quick survey for a buck. I've made $7.70 so far for surveys I can complete sitting on the toilet and am almost at the $10 payout threshold.

I also played around with microworkers.com a bit, but when I did the math I was making $3 an hour and that's just a waste of my time.

Was the 70 cents a shorter pee than anticipated or did you drop your phone down the crapper midway?

Enquiring minds need to know! :D

Poop phone. Or it could've been the eleventh .70c payout.

Anyway on-topic I've never had enough commitment to stick with any of these kind of things. I used to use PrizeRebel a lot and earned tons of points there but that's as far as I've gone.

Hahaha, the 70 cents are just me being rejected from 7 surveys over time. But hey, $0.10 for being disqualified after answering what magazines I don't read (which is all of them) and how old I am? Hell yeah, I'll take a dime for that!

And yeah, commitment is rough with these kinds of things. Someone told me to try InboxDollars and it's literally like having an abusive relationship. You do all these surveys and you THINK you reached the end when suddenly DISQUALIFIED! But hey, don't worry, you get to SPIN THE PRIZE WHEEL! Oh, you won a sweepstakes entry, enter the sweepstakes! Oh you didn't win this time. Or probably ever. But keep doing our surveys, mmkay?
..ha...HA....HAHAHAHAHAA NO FUCK YOU INBOXDOLLARS

Someone else told me to try Amazon's Mechanical Turk program, but I'm kind of too lazy to try anything that involves a computer right now. Just phone stuff... for doctor waiting rooms, waiting for class to start, waiting for the strange woman in the next stall singing to herself to leave so I can poop in solitude... that sort of thing.

Sounds a lot like my experience with Microworkers.com ....but with more interesting tasks. Maybe I'll try it out after I'm done writing my own little article on Microworkers, which I'm still waiting on payments for before I can write out my final conclusion.

HINT: It's not very good. :lol:
