Was at work tonight, saw the "survey ready" icon (got into doing them back when i still needed to sell my blood plasma to live, before I stopped being able to because cancer), then something glorious popped up

      won't be much money, in my experience there's a fine balance between reward and time invested that you have to feel out.

      the methods that stuck with me over the years were

      a crap extra phone with nielsen mobile (super spyware-y, hence the burner)

      slidejoy and another lockscreen ad app on same burner

      sometimes receiptpal is good if you purchase things in person a lot and get paper receipts

      prolific.ac surveys and studies (those pay well enough for survey work and are legitimate)

      google opinion rewards for free play credit (good for in app buys, paid apps you can't find a pirated apk for)

      heard various things about places like fiverr and mturk, tl;dr your mileage may vary with those but some folks swear by them

      Reddit's /r/beermoney turned me onto most of these, it goes to shit every few months though and quick/reliable/legitimate is often a "pick two" situation

      best of luck, sorry for typos and/or formatting as am on mlbile atm

        to add to this, the only ones i go out of my way to do are the google surveys and the odd prolific study lately. you end up investing a lot of time into these kinds of things the more you branch out, and it's some draining stuff to sit through hours of surveys

        that said, the odd paypal cashout has definitely helped me in some tough spots
