Penny for your thoughts? How about a couple bucks here and there? Sounds too good to be true, but companies like Ipsos Panel and Springboard America

are legit when it comes to paying people for their opinions on things you've been thinking about all this time for free; clothing, electronics, food, and all that other stuff

you tweet about all day anyway. 

Look around you. You're sitting on riches. Those jeans you haven't bothered to wear in three years, those CDs you loved in high school that are now collecting dust, that

old night stand housing trash and old moisturizer. It's like they say, one man's crap is another woman's new crap. So start cleaning out those closets and selling things you definitely

don't need, use or wear anymore. You can list them on Craigslist or eBay, take them to stores like Buffalo Exchange, or have a

good old fashioned yard sale. Whatever way is easiest and gives you some extra cash - go for it.

If you're the type of person who always likes to be on the go, but doesn't necessarily want to go to work full time - hello! Become an

target="_blank">Uber or a Lyft driver. All you need is three years experience behind the wheel, car insurance, have a four-door car, pass a criminal background check, be at

least 21-years-old and of course have a license and you're all set! Plus, did you know our boy Jack Falahee from How To Get Away With Murder was

driving for one of these before he landed in Shondaland?

Not only tweeting, but posting, Snapping and any other social media. That's of course if you have a strong enough following to be considered an influencer. If that's the case,

take full advantage by referring friends, family and followers to sites like Swagbucks, Ebates, Groupon and Zulily. When you do, you can earn

cash or store credit. 

Before you think we're trippin' and trying to get you in a 9-5, hold up. A lot of companies are switching it up nowadays and hiring remote reps instead of

wasting money on a call center. You know what that means? Yup, getting paid to sit at home and take calls. No commute, no getting dressed and no unnerving conversations around

the water cooler about your worst calls of the day.

Freelancing, for those who are new to the term, is sort of like running your own little business utilizing a skill or skills you have. Are you great at putting

words together? Try and find sites that pay writers. Did you go to art school but haven't found a company that fits you? There are plenty of places looking to

hire a graphic designer who'd crank out projects from their home. Those are just two examples because when it comes to freelancing, the possibilities are endless. You can be a

social media adviser, coach, photographer, and so forth and so on. Just remember if you got a skill, don't take it for granted - use it!

There are a lot of people who enjoy working the salary life, and because you're not really about that life you can be there for those people and their furry

loved ones by sitting and caring for them (the furry ones). Hell yeah, get paid to take a cute ass dog for a walk while their owner is at work,

or even better - get paid to watch said dog while their owner is out of town on business? YASSSS! Dreams. They can come true.

Excuse us? If someone would've told my chunky butt in college this was a thing, I'd be living large with my #bodygoals right now. The health app Achievemint

allows you to earn extra cash for simply completing healthy activities. In the end you have the option of taking either $10 at a time or an Amazon gift card

after scoring 10,000 points. Plus, there isn't a limit on how much you can get either!

Hold up, Achievemint isn't the only one out there like this. You can also

sign up for HealthyWage, set a weight goal, bet on yourself making it and come the end of it all you have the chance to win up to

$10,000. Damn, why ain't Weight Watchers and all them like this?

Blogging isn't just something we do because we need to voice our opinion and make listicles, it's about making that money honey. So a way you can definitely do that

is  building your blog first and then seeking advertisers who relate to your brand. They pay for ad space and then you pay some bills.

Swagbucks will give you $5 just for signing up and after that you can earn even more by watching something you do on YouTube all the time anyways.

Many pop stars would be nothing without the men and women who pen their hits. Can you imagine writing the next song of the summer? Okay, so that's a big

goal but you have to start somewhere so look into what it takes with companies like ASCAP, BMI and SESAC.

When you shop using sites like Ebates you're earning cash-back rewards you can then turn around and redeem for gift cards to places like Target, Walmart, Macy's and

more. Now everyone can stop judging you when you get a mountain of packages delivered. Just be like, "It's my job to shop boo boo."
