Everybody knows it — Coronavirus (or shorter COVID-19) quarantine will have and already had a huge impact on everyday people’s lives. Vacation sounds nice, but not for those people who work in retail or in other physical jobs. Majority of those people lost their jobs or were forced to take unpaid leave for an indefinite period, which means they won’t be able to pay their bills on time unless they have some kind of side hustle or part time remote jobs.
While all the world stops and stays in their homes you should still try to make money to provide yourself essential items. In this article I would love to share 3 easy ways to make money online that I personally use while on the Coronavirus quarantine.
What is it?
According to Honeygain website it is an app that provides proxy services to third parties like data scientists, Fortune 500s, and other businesses and to do so they need your unused internet traffic for which they will pay you some sweet money.
How does it work?
Basically, when you’re using your internet on a daily basis you’re not using its full potential. So after you download it you just leave it running on your device background and the app “rent’s” your unused internet traffic. For example, you can go to your local Starbuck or so, log in to their wifi and start Honeygain app. By doing so you won’t even be using your own data. Free easy money!
How does payment work?
You get 1 credit for every 10MB of data you share and each credit is worth $0.0001, so if you share 20GB, then you would get $2 in credits. Basically, if you have fast internet and you leave Honeygain running on your background for 24/7 you are able to gain about $35 — $50 per month by doing literally nothing. Gained credits can be transferred to your PayPal account.
Where can I get it?
Honeygain can be used on both computers and phones. The app works on Windows, macOS and Android devices.
You can now use a coupon for extra 5$ to your Honeygain account — 5DOLLARS! Happy surfing!
What is it?
Swagbucks.com is the rewards program that gives you free gift cards and cash for the everyday things you already do online.
How does it work?
So you earn points when you shop at your favorite retailers, watch videos, search the web, answer surveys etc. Then you can redeem points for gift cards (like Amazon or Walmart) or get cash back to your Paypal. According to Swagbucks, you could theoretically earn up to $5 a day. More realistically, though, users can make about $90 a month.
Where can I get it?
They don’t have an app. Just log in to Swagbucks website.
What is it?
Survey Junkie on their web says that they are an online community with over 10 million members dedicated to making your voice heard and that they open the window of communication between you and the brands you love.
How does it work?
So first you have to create a profile, which will only take a couple of minutes, and then answer some questions about yourself and your household (it will make surveys more suitable for you). After you’ve created your profile, Survey Junkie will start sending you surveys to take. When you finish a survey, you’re going to earn points.
How does payment work?
The payout for each survey is different but the longer the survey is, the more money you will gain. The average survey is going to pay around $1 to $3. More than likely, you’ll get one survey a week. If that survey pays $3, and you get one a week, you can gain $12 per month. The gained money can be transferred using your PayPal account or you can redeem it for gift coupons.
Where can I get it?
They don’t have an app but you can log in to their website and start gaining money.
Whatever you would choose to make money — spend your free time on surveys, rent your unused internet traffic — I really hope my suggestion will help you to make some money while you are on the Coronavirus lockdown. Stay home and stay safe!
