7 Ways to Make a Little Money from Your Living Room Couch!

If you're a SAHM like me, you might be looking to make a little extra cash especially this time of year when we're all trying to pay for the holidays!  Many of the "work from home" sites promise the moon but few deliver.  And though there are telecommuting opportunities out there, if you don't have a dedicated home office and a babysitter, it's really hard to make a living that way.

But if you have a computer and internet access and maybe an hour to kill every day, you can make a little extra money without doing too much.  Here are some of my favorite sites that you can use to make money for your family:

1.  Swagbucks- Get Swagbucks which you can then redeem for prizes or gift cards for doing things like searching the internet, shopping online, taking surveys, watching short videos and completing offers online.  Many of the offers are free, don't require you to download anything to your PC and take less than 5 minutes to complete. You can also earn money by referring new members!

2.  MySurvey.com - Mysurvey is a free site that allows you to earn points for taking fun surveys and completing product trials.  They also have a great monthly giveaway every month!  You can redeem your points for paypal, payment by check, gift cards or prizes.  This is one of my favorite sites because I can get cash!!!!!

3.  Examiner.com - Love to write?  Become an Examiner for your city and write about things you are interested in.  You get paid for writing local content and having page views.  You can also earn money for referring new Examiners!

4.  Textbroker.com - Whether you are a professional writer or just love to write, use those skills to make a little extra cash.  On Textbroker, you submit articles based on orders listed by clients.  You may be writing about a current event or a product, you pick!  Very easy if you love to write.

5.  Pinecone Research - A invite only site that allows you to make money by filling out surveys and testing products at home.  Check back on my blog for when they are accepting new members!

6.  Mturk- Complete HITs (Human Intelligence Tasks) that can be anything from surveys to quick reviews and earn money.  You will be paid through Amazon Payments (think paypal).

7.  E-rewards -A suvey site that allows you to turn in the dollars you earn for gift certificates and products.  I use mine to buy magazines, get free game rentals for my son, and for Borders Bucks!!!!
