Along with saving money, I always keep my eye out for ways that I can earn a little extra money also. Over the next couple of weeks, I plan on introducing you to some of my favorite methods.
InboxDollars
There are several companies that will pay you to read your e-mails. Last week, I let you know about MyPoints, and now we're going to talk about InboxDollars.
What is InboxDollars?
Basically, they are a site that allows you to earn extra cash for various activities (see below). You get a $5 bonus when you sign up, and you will need to reach a $30 balance to cash out.
How Do You Earn Money with InboxDollars?
- Read e-mails – you earn several cents per e-mail just for clicking on the periodic e-mails that InboxDollars sends
- Surveys – $0.50 for every completed survey - I find that many of the other survey sites pay more
- Offers – some of the e-mails include offers…like sign up for such and such and earn x dollars – depending on what it is, I don’t usually sign up
- Games – you can earn points when you play their games – I’ve never done this
- Shopping – you can earn points when you shop through the InboxDollars site – I’ve never done this, because using the cash-back sites seems a better deal.
How Do You Join?
- Visit InboxDollarsto register. You will get a $5 bonus in your account for registering.
- You will receive an e-mail from InboxDollars. Click to validate your e-mail address and you're ready to go.
Please Note:
If you want to avoid extra e-mail in your personal account, just create a new e-mail address just for offers like this (or create a filter in Outlook or Gmail so the e-mails go to their own folder). I usually get a couple of e-mails per day.
Also, if you were formerly a member of SendEarnings, they are closing the SendEarnings site to focus on their sister site, InboxDollars. You have until 6/23/20 to transfer any existing earnings to InboxDollars, and the SendEarnings site will close permanently on 7/2/20.

Additional "Cents"able Earnings Methods:

Although it does take a while I finally got my first payout for Inbox dollars and a like it a lot. It is quick and simple and I take their surveys occassionally. I've done just one offer and a few shopping things. Also a lot of the survey sites I signed up for they had offers for! So I'd say this is one of the first ones to sign up for because it does take a while to accumulate and because it can introduce you to more survey sites.

I am a member of Inbox Dollar and so far I have read 976 in almost a year and haven't reach the $30 yet. I think is not worth it. I may continue to reach the minimun, cash it out and close it.

I've begun to kind of geek out on my small earnings with inboxdollars (I do send earnings too, but it looks like it will take too long to reach the threshhold). I will add: inboxdollars just launched "videos." Great way to spend a small amount of time to pick up a little extra from them (you basically watch commercials to receive a few cents). I basically do e-mails and the videos every day, and nothing else. I'm pretty strict on how much time I'm willing to sink into them — surveys are too long for the money. Never done games. Never done the buying. NEVER added a toolbar.

I used to be a member of Inbox Dollars - it took me nearly 2 years to accumulate enough to cash out. I was diligent about clicking through the emails everyday. Once I got close to the $30, I really paid close attention to the points and I noticed I was not receiving credit for all of the activities that I participated in. I contacted them and after a small song and dance, I was able to collect the points that had not been credited. Needless to say, as soon as I was able to cash in, I did, and I unsubscribed as soon as I received my check. I like My Points WAY better - seems like the points there accumulate much faster and are worth more.

I have been a member for year, but was not consist in reading email, etc. I did start being more consist and it I have cashed out twice this year and am on my way to the third time; need about six more dollars.

I have been a member for both of these sites for quite some time, but love them both! Super EASY! Yes, it takes a while to accumulate enough $ to cash out, but its FREE money! In the past year Iv'e made a little over a hundred dollars and have more to cash out soon! Another of my new favorites is Swagbucks! It is amazing and you make $ much faster! I've already made $50 in less than two months!

I use swagbucks, inboxdollars, and sendearnings. Cashed out a few times this year from swagbucks with PayPal $25 gift card option. Inboxdollars just received a check payment! And more racking up fast! I click my emails and just do the surveys while lounging watching TV. Sendearnings is racking up quickly from the same. I qualify for more surveys than I think. I flip back and forth and do surveys. Also make sure to do your daily searches!
