Want a pretty easy way to earn a little extra money on the side? Sign up for Inbox Dollars and/or Send Earnings, and you’ll get paid just for reading e-mails. You’ll get a $5.00 signup bonus for both of them, and you get about $0.02 per e-mail read. It will add up over time, and you need $30 to cash out.
I’ve been a member of both for about a year now, and I’m close to the $30 cash out for both of them. I usually only click through on the e-mails rather than do the surveys or do any of the offers (I don’t feel like they’re worth it).
If you want to avoid extra e-mail in your personal account, just create a new e-mail address just for offers like this. I usually get a couple of e-mails per day from each company.
Like I said, it’s not a get rich quick scheme, but every little bit counts, right?
Also, don’t forget about MyPoints. You can also earn points from clicking through on e-mails, and then you can redeem your points for gifts cards. My favorites are $10 Panera Bread gift cards and $10 gas cards. Click here for more information about MyPoints.
