Believe it or not, it is actually possible to make money online legitimately, and in this post, I want to share with you 13 ways to make money online…WITHOUT taking surveys.

There are many scammers and “gurus” out there that promise to help you make 6 figures in no times. But the truth is that is not the case.

Although it’s 100% possible to make money online, it requires you to be dedicated and to take your time to master the different money making methods.

 

1) Blogging


Blogging has recently become one of the most talked about ways to make money online, but it’s important to note that you won’t make money immediately with this method.

It requires time, dedication and hard work to start earning a profit.

 

[alert-announce] Do you want to make money online blogging but don’t know how to start?

Then check out my ultimate guide to starting a blog on a budget.

[/alert-announce]

 

There are a number of ways you can make money from a blog, such as:

  • Affiliate Marketing

This is one of the most common ways to monetise your blog. Affiliate Marketing allows you to promote products on your blog and earn a commission when your readers make a purchase.

  • Adsense/Advertising

You can ads place on your blog and you get to earn money when your readers click on the ads. The most common option to start advertising with is through Adsense. But there are some other options available such as Media.net

  • Email Marketing

With email marketing, you need to provide value on your blog and encourage users to sign up to your email list. Then you can start sending emails to your subscribers and use this as a way to promote products/services. But you need to make sure your priority is to provide value, otherwise, your readers will unsubscribe from your list.

  • Create an online course

Online courses can be created on sites such as Teachable. You can charge for the course and sell it on your blog.

  • Advertise your skills/services

You can provide a page on your blog where you advertise your skills and charge for your services. For example, if you’re really good at Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), then you can advertise your skills and charge a rate for anyone who’s interested.

  • Sponsored posts

This is another popular way to monetise your blog. You can reach out to brands within your niche and offer to create a blog post and get paid to publish. It’s also possible for brands to reach out to you for sponsored posts.

2) Affiliate Marketing


Affiliate Marketing is a great option for anyone looking to make a genuine income online.

It’s also a good entry point for beginners because it doesn’t require any inventory or high start-up costs. It’s even possible to get started with no money.

There are 4 key steps to Affiliate Marketing:

1) Choose an interest

With Affiliate Marketing you can create a business based on your passions. So have a think about what interests you. A hobby, or something that gets you excited and motivated when you think about it. There are so many different ideas that you could potentially tap into online.

When you choose a passion, success is much more likely to follow

2) Build a website

Nowadays it’s easier than ever to build a website. I personally recommend going self-hosted and owning your own blog. But if you’re completely new to online marketing, and no money, then you may want to get started with a free website.

A website is important because it’s going to be the foundation of your business.

3) Attract visitors

Your goal before you try to earn money with your new website is to focus on getting actual people to visit your website, because, without people, you have no business. Some ways you can attract visitors is through search engines and social media.

4) Earn revenue

Once you’ve got your audience, you can promote products and services through affiliate programs. Because of these programs, you can promote just about anything, and you can earn a commission when your visitor makes a purchase.

 

In my opinion, the best way to apply Affiliate Marketing is through a website/blog. However, you may not want to keep up with the needs of maintaining a website. If that’s the case, it’s still possible to make money with Affiliate Marketing, without a website.

 

[alert-announce]

If you’d like to earn with Affiliate Marketing then be sure to take a look at my #1 recommended training platform for beginners.

It’s 100% FREE to join, and you learn the basics of getting started with affiliate marketing. [/alert-announce]

 

3) eCommerce


make money online ecommerceeCommerce involves selling products online through an online store. These can be physical products or digital products.

There are a number of platforms available that allow you to sell products online.

 

eBay

This is a very popular way that people make money online selling products. It’s easy to get started with eBay, and you can join for free. It’s a great place to sell any used items you have around the house, and you can use this opportunity to learn how the website works. Then you can start to consider purchasing products to resell.

My first experience of eBay was back in 2014, where I sold an official Apple iPad cover. It sold within a few hours, and that was the first time I ever made money online. Soon after I started selling my used items online, then went on to resell products. So this is definitely an option worth considering if you’re looking for legit ways to make money online.

 

Amazon

A similar platform to eBay where you can sell new and used items. I personally think it’s better for selling new items. You can consider setting up a Fulfilled By Amazon (FBA) store.

This is becoming a well-known way to make money online with Amazon. Although I’ve sold on Amazon before I’m not too familiar with setting up an FBA store. If you’re looking for a good beginners guide then I recommend reading this complete guide

 

Etsy

With Etsy, you can earn money online selling handmade items. If you’re really creative and enjoy making arts & crafts, then this may be the perfect option for you. There are users selling anything from Jewellery, to handbags, to WordPress themes, to resume templates.

So it’s possible you’ll find a product you can sell for yourself. Take a look at the site and see what options might fit your expertise.

 

Shopify

The options listed above involve you selling on a third party platform, and paying fees to list your products. However, with Shopify, you get to build your own online store and keep more of the profits.

Shopify offers a 14-day FREE trial, which is a great way to see if your own online store is the best option for you. This platform can also be used to sell digital products.

 

4) Dropshipping


Dropshipping is very similar to building an eCommerce store, except the main difference is that you don’t keep any inventory.

The aim of dropshipping is to list your items on an eCommerce platform, then when you make a sale, you purchase the product from your supplier, then the supplier ships the item directly to your buyer. The image below should help make it easier to understand:

Drop shipping can be done on sites such as eBay, Amazon and on your own Shopify store.

With Shopify, you can use a program called Orbelo, which is specifically designed for building a dropshipping business.

They also offer a lot of valuable information on their blog about starting a drop shipping business, finding the best suppliers and choosing what products to dropship. Take a look at some of their guides below:

I also recommend that you get access to the FREE online training to help you start a profitable drop shipping store. Additionally, there’s a super helpful course on Udemy, if you’d prefer to start dropshipping on eBay.

Note: There is currently a huge sale on Udemy, so the price you see on the site may be higher or lower at the time you visit.

 

5) Freelancing


make money online freelancingFreelancing is a good way to make money online using the skills you have. You can pretty much turn any skill you have into a freelancing business. Some popular examples include:

  • Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
  • Social Media Marketing
  • Transcription
  • Web Design
  • Web Development
  • Graphic Design

There are different ways you can promote your freelancing services and earn an income online, such as:

Upwork

This site allows you to search for work in your expertise and reach out to the different clients in order to make a proposal on the job. You should initially work on building your Upwork profile and perfecting it so that it can be approved by the Upwork team. Include all the relevant skills you have, as well as a portfolio of your work to back it up.

Here’s a really good beginners guide which is worth checking out.

 

Fiverr

With this platform, you can list your services as gigs on the site, and buyers will purchase from you. This is an easier platform to get started with because you don’t need to have your account approved, and you can start uploading gigs right away.

When creating gigs, I recommend including as many photos as you can to showcase your skill, and to also include a relevant video to your gig. These things will boost your chance of people purchasing from you.

If you’re new to Fiverr and looking for an in-depth beginner guide, then be sure to take a look at this.

 Create a “Hire Me Page”

Additionally, you can also list on your services on your website by creating a “Hire Me Page”, and get clients to make a booking/get a quote via that page.

 

6) Teach & Sell An Online Course


Teaching an online course is another great way to make money using your skills. You can create a course related to your skills and sell them on online teaching platforms.

The sites listed below are great for getting your content seen by thousands of potential students.

Udemy

A very popular marketplace for buying and selling online courses. I’ve purchased a number of courses from this site and if your content is valuable enough, you can potentially make some really good money here.

If you’ve got the skills, then sharing those skill on Udemy is definitely worth considering.

(New customer offer: Get $10 (£10) on all courses for 24 hours when you sign up through this link)

 

Skillshare

As Skillshare is a subscription-based platform, their payment structure works slightly differently to Udemy. Instead of choosing your own prices for each course you upload, you earn royalties based on the number of minutes watched by premium Skillshare members.

You can also earn money by bringing in new premium members to Skillshare. One way to do this is by promoting your course, which will, in turn, promote the Skillshare platform. In order for users to access your course, they would need to sign up as a premium member. Paid memberships are $7/month, with 1 month FREE.

 

Teachable

This allows you to create a course which you can advertise on your blog. You can offer free courses and well as paid courses.

It’s FREE to get started, and there are paid options too if you need to upgrade your account.

When creating your courses you can set your own prices too, and there’s a range of valuable information available on the Teachable blog to help you boost your earning potential.

7) Test Websites/Mobile Apps


One of my favourite ways to make money online is by testing out websites and mobile apps. You can get paid $3-$15 to test on any of the websites listed below, and they’re all FREE to join. Most tests will last between 5-20 minutes.

 

Usertesting

This is my main go-to place for testing websites. Tests are quite regular and you can do tests on your desktop, laptop and/or mobile.

You can expect to earn $3-15 depending on the test.

Once you’ve completed a test, you can expect to be paid the following week via Paypal.

 

Whatusersdo

Another popular site for testing websites. You can expect to earn £5 per test and be paid via Paypal

 

Userbrain

I’ve done a few tests on this site and was able to cash out $15 within a few hours. They pay $3 per test, and you need to use your own video recorder to do the tests, as they don’t have their own screen recorder. Most computers/laptops will have a built-in recorder.

 

Ferpection

This site is quite different to other sites I used because you don’t need to record your screen to complete the tests. You just need to snap screenshots of the webpage you’re testing, then provide written feedback.

It’s a french based site, so you can change the text from English to French and vice versa.

You can expect to earn 5-10 euros per test, and once you’ve reached 20 euros you can request a payout. Payment is made via Paypal on the last Friday of each month.

 

Usertest.io

Similar to the site listed above, you can expect to earn £8 ($10) per review.

 

8) Mobile Apps


make money online with mobile appsAn easy way to earn some extra money online is to make use of mobile apps. I recommend finding a few you like to use the most and use them as often as you can to make the most money.

You’ll find that most of these apps are simple and easy to use, and they don’t require much effort to make money from.

Below is a list of some of the apps I use as well as other popular apps you can earn from (feel free to use my referral codes/links when signing up too, for extra bonuses)

Receipt Hog

This app allows you to earn coins for scanning your grocery receipts. Once you earn a certain number of coins you can convert them into cash, which you can redeem via Paypal.

Here’s my full review + payment proof

 

Perk

This is a popular app which allows you to make money watching videos, completing offers and playing games/quizzes. You can also earn by doing surveys, but since this post isn’t about surveys, then you can avoid this option on the site. You can complete the tasks on your phone through the app, and/or on your desktop.

You earn Perk points, and those points can be converted into cash and/or gift cards. Payments can be made via Paypal. I was able to earn $20 passively just by using the PerkTV part of the app. So if you incorporate all the earning options, you can make more.

Referral code: Enter a1d31fa1 or click this link

 

SlicethePie

This is a site/app that allows you to earn money for reviewing music, fashion and other products. It’s FREE to join and so easy to get started. When starting out don’t expect to earn much per review. I started off earning only $0.08 a review. But once you build your profile you can expect to earn $0.20-0.30 per review and more.

You can also complete reviews on the desktop version.

There are also times when they offer bonuses, which you’ll receive emails for. The review are quick, and don’t require too much effort.

Here’s my full review + payment proof. 

 

Voxpopme

With this app, you get to earn money by answering questions and provide a video response. You can get started right away, and with each response, you can earn from £0.25. Once you reach £10 you can cash out via Paypal.

Just be aware that your video response may be used internally for research and insight, and/or publicly on the web and social media So just make sure you’re happy with that before submitting any responses.

Click here to sign up. (Earn an extra £1 when you sign up through my link)

 

Swagbucks

If you’ve been looking for ways to make money online, you’ve most likely come across Swagbucks. You can earn via your desktop/laptop as well as through the mobile app. It’s similar to Perk because there are multiple ways to earn with this app.

You can complete offers, watch videos, make online purchases for cashback, search online, and play games.

Click here to sign up. (Earn a 500SB points bonus when you sign up through my link. 300SB when you earn your first 300SB, and 200SB when you spend £25 through shop & earn)

 

Google Opinion Rewards

This is another app I use often, and you get to earn Google Play store credits when you complete short surveys. It is only available for Android devices.

Although you don’t get to earn cash, you can earn a decent amount of credits which you can redeem for books, games, music etc, in the Google Play store.

Here’s my full review. 

 

9) Matched Betting


If you’re from the UK and over 18, then one of my most recommended legit ways to make money online is Matched Betting.

If you’re not familiar with Matched Betting, then it’s basically a method of betting where you place bets on all outcomes of a sporting event using free bet offers from bookmakers in order to make a profit.

Here’s my full beginners guide.

I’ve been Matched Betting for 1.5yrs and it’s been one of my main sources of online income.

The good news is you don’t have to know anything about sports to get involved.

Before I started Matched Betting I’d never placed a bet in my life and I never had any interest in sports.

Despite this, I was still able to earn £150 in my first 2 weeks. So this goes to show that complete beginners can earn with this method. 

  

You can get started right now with a FREE trial with my recommended program for Matched Betting beginners. With this trial, you can earn up to £45. (I was able to earn £11 in my first 24 hours, and £35 with the trial)

Update: Limited Time Only – Get 7 Days of FULL Access for only £1 

10) Online Shopping


This is an option you may not have considered before, but you can actually earn money when you shop online. When you make a purchase via one of the sites listed below, you get a percentage of that purchase as cashback. The more you shop online, the more you’ll earn, but I would recommend you stick to your usual spending habits.

Topcashback

This is my go-to cashback site and one I recommend the most. You can earn cashback on thousands of sites. Not only can you earn cash, but you can redeem your earnings for gift cards and travel rewards.

 

Quidco

It’s very similar to Topcashback, and another great cashback site to earn from. If I can’t find anything on TCB, then I’ll head over to Quidco.

 

Ebates

This one is just like the first two sites but is available to US citizens.

 

11) Social Media


Earning money with Social Media can be a great way to earn some extra income online. There are some people using it to earn a full-time income online.

The best way to earn with Social media is to become an Influencer. When you’re someone that people trust, then you’re likely to get users to follow your suggestions.

You should work on growing your social media following and providing value. You don’t need to have the biggest following to make money with social media, but you should have an engaged follower base.

The main social accounts to earn money online from are:

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Pinterest
  • Instagram
  • Tumblr

You can earn by using sites dedicated to helping you monetise your social media accounts, such as:

LinkiLike

With this site, you can share content on social media and earn money with each piece of content you share. Connect all your social media accounts, and you’ll get notified by email when there is new content to be shared. It’s a Dutch site, so the earnings are in euros. Once you reach 10 euros you can request a payout via Paypal.

 

SocialPubli

Here you earn money by sharing content on your social media. However, the cash out threshold is really high at $100. Payments can be made via bank transfer and cheque.

 

Adf.ly

This website is a site that converts your link into an adf.ly link. When a visitor clicks on the link they have to view an ad for at least 5 seconds before gaining access to the main content on the link you share.

If you have lots of engaged followers you can share your link, and the more engagement/clicks you get the more you can earn. I’ve seen a few social media accounts use this method, so it’s definitely worth considering if you have a lot of active followers. And the minimum payout is only $5.

 

Izea

You get access to different content which you can bid for in order to take part in that task. When you sign up, you should connect all your social media accounts. Based on your interests you’ll receive a list of campaigns.

You can then send a pitch for why you’ll be suitable for a particular campaign, and once you’re approved then you need to complete the task. It’s FREE to join, but there are also paid upgrades.

 

Boostinsider

Similar to Izea, you can pick campaigns that fit your social media following and share your link on your accounts. The more engagement you get, the more money you can earn. The cash out threshold is $10.

Unlike Izea, you don’t need to bid or send a proposal to promote the links. However, there aren’t always many campaigns available, so it can take a while to reach payout.

Here’s my full review + payment proof

 

Fiverr

If you have a large social following you can advertise promotion services on Fiverr. For example, you can offer to share a product or service to you 10,000 twitter followers for $5.

You can also add gig upgrades to earn more with your social account. Take a look at some of these Fiverr examples:

 

12) Making Online Searches


Qmee

With Qmee you can make money online just searching the web. It’s an extension which you add to your internet browser, and when you make a search on Google, Amazon on eBay, you can earn some extra cash online.

You can also earn with surveys, but as this post is focused on no surveys, then the search feature is still available. Payments are made via Paypal.

You can also download the mobile app to earn cash rewards, money-saving coupons and price comparison deals.

Here’s my review + payment proof. (Earn an extra 50p when you sign up through my link and make your first Paypal cashout).

Who is it for?


IM Newbie is for those of you who:

  • Have some experience with Internet Marketing, but are still quite new (I wouldn’t encourage complete beginners because some of the training isn’t the most newbie friendly in my opinion)
  • Are ready to take action and invest your time into this program

 

Who is it NOT For?


  • Anyone looking for a “get rich quick” scheme, as this is not that type of program
  • Those looking for real beginner training. This is a good and in-depth program, but I don’t think it covers enough of the basics to call it a truly beginner program.

 

[alert-announce]Take a look at my #1 recommended course for total beginners. It’s FREE to join![/alert-announce]

 

Pros


  • Affordable – The main course is only $9.95, which I feel is very affordable for the amount of value you’re getting
  • You don’t need to promote the product in order to earn money – This program is geared towards you promoting different affiliate offers and growing your email list. So you don’t need to resell this program to earn an income
  • Can contact the owner – You can get in contact with the owner either via the support desk or through Facebook.
  • Access to Facebook Group – You get instant access to the Facebook group where you can interact with other users of the IM Newbie program, and get further support and guidance.

 

Cons


  • No Free Trial
  • Need to purchase the upsell products to really learn how to earn a sustainable income with this method – You can earn money with this method if you follow the steps and take action, but I don’t feel the main product is enough to help you sustain an income and scale your business. You would need to purchase the upsells to gain access to that.
  • Too many upsells – I understand that programs like this will have upsells, but I feel there are too many. I think the whole program would have been better if it included some of the upsells and they were sold as a full product, with a monthly fee or a higher one-time price. It would make things a lot easier for beginners if everything is all in one place and easier to navigate.

 

IM Newbie vs My #1 Recommendation


I am currently an active member of Wealthy Affiliate and I personally like to recommend this program because it provides you with the real basics when it comes to affiliate marketing. As a beginner, you get access to the right tools and training to really help you get started.

Although I think IM Newbie is a valuable program, there is definitely room for improvement. It needs to be a lot more basic to really help beginner marketers as I feel that some of the modules covered, such as PHP admin, FTP, split testing, will be confusing to someone who is a complete newbie.

With Wealthy Affiliate, you get to start with the very basics, and each training module has actionable steps to help you keep track of your progress. Furthermore, pretty much all the tools you need are included in the platform, such as Keyword tool, web hosting, domain registration, training, support, etc.

Take a look at my quick comparison table below:

 

SPECIAL WEALTHY AFFILIATE BONUS

If you join me at Wealthy Affiliate, as a special bonus you’ll get your first premium month for only $19. That’s over 63% discount. It’s a great way to really test out the premium membership and see if Wealthy Affiliate is for you.

However, you can always get started with the FREE membership first.

 

Final Thoughts


If you’re a beginner looking for a program to help you earn an income online then IM Newbie offers a lot of value and actionable training to help those of you with some experience of Affiliate Marketing, especially for the price.

But there’s a lot of advanced aspects that may be daunting for a beginner who’s never done any marketing online before.

So, if you’re a complete beginner, then I personally recommend checking out Wealthy Affiliate. This is the program I used when I first started out, which takes you through the very basics and includes many of the tools you’ll need all in one place.

Overall, I hope I’ve provided enough information in this IM Newbie review to help you make an informed decision before joining.

Receipt Hog is a FREE smartphone app that allows you to earn money by scanning your grocery receipts. It is available to download on Android devices via the Google Play store, and Apple devices via the iTunes store.

Currently, Receipt Hog is only available to US and UK citizens.

The app uses your receipts for market research. They collect the data on things such as spending habits, items purchased and the stores frequently visited.

How Does It Work?


Once you’ve downloaded the app from the appropriate app store, and entered in the necessary details,  you can begin earning right away.

In order to earn cash with Receipt Hog, you need to take a photo of your receipts within the app.

Each receipt you snap will have various rewards ranging from coins, slot spins, and sweepstake tickets.

The aim is to build up the number of coins you have in order to reach a payout.

 

How Much Can You Earn?


With Receipt Hog, the number of coins you earn depends on the amount you spent on the receipt. However, not all receipts will be rewarded with coins. I’ve listed the receipts that qualify for coin rewards further below.

Here’s a breakdown of the coins you’ll earn per receipt, depending on spending:

  • Under £10 = 5 coins
  • £10 – 50 = 1o coins
  • £50 – £100 = 15 coins
  • Over £100 = 20 coins

Note: Once you reach 100 points within 1 week, each coin receipt you snap thereafter will only earn you 5 coins. So, once you reach 100 coins I recommend saving your bigger receipts for the following week.

I usually collect all my receipts together and snap them at the end of the week. Plus, if you upload receipts regularly every week then you get weekly bonus!

 

What Type of Receipts Earn Coins?


  • Groceries/Supermarkets (e.g. Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda)
  • Pharmacies (e.g Lloyds Pharmacy)
  • Health and Beauty Stores (e.g. Boots, Superdrug)
  • Bargain & Discount shops (e.g. Poundland, Home Bargains)
  • Pet Shops (e.g. Pets a Home)
  • Off Licence (e.g Spar)

 

Hog Slots


 

 

Each Hog Slot qualifying receipt earns you 1 spin on the slot.

On the Hog Slot you can win bonus coins and other prizes. So it’s a great way to possibly boost your earnings.

In addition, with each level you reach within the app, you get rewarded. So, for the first 11 levels you can currently expect to earn up to 88 free spins!

 

What Type of Receipts Earn Hog Slots?


  • Clothing stores (e.g. Zara, H&M)
  • Electronic stores (e.g. Currys)
  • Book Shops (e.g. Waterstones)
  • Sporting Goods (e.g. JD Sports)
  • Home Improvement (e.g. Homebase, Ikea)

 

Sweepstake Entries


 

The sweepstake prize is a prize draw which gives you the opportunity to earn even more coins. The more sweepstake tickets you have, the more chance you have of winning.

You can earn tickets with each receipt you successfully upload. Therefore, the more receipts you snap, the more tickets you’ll accumulate.

I wouldn’t recommend spending more than you normally would just to get more receipts. But, it may be worth considering splitting your usual purchases into more than 1 transaction, in order to accumulate more receipts.

 

Which Receipts Earn Sweepstake Entries?


  • Gas/Petrol stations
  • Restaurants
  • Bakery & Cafe shops

Pros


  • FREE App  
  • Can download on both Android and Apple devices 
  • Simple To Use and Requires Little To No Effort – The app is so simple to use, and it takes little to no effort to upload your receipts.
  • Receipt Upload Reminder – The app sends reminder notifications to prompt you to upload more receipts. (You can also change the setting if you don’t want this feature)
  • Sweepstake Ticket With Every Receipt- You get to earn a sweepstake ticket for every receipt you snap that gets processed. So, the more receipts you upload the more you increase your chances of winning the sweepstake prizes.
  • Pays via Paypal – If you’ve read some of my previous reviews you’ll know that I’m a big fan of apps/programs that pay via Paypal. I personally find it much easier to deal with compared to credit/debit cards etc. (Note: If you don’t have a Paypal account, it’s very easy to set one up, and this can even be done via the app when you’re ready to cash out.)

 

Cons


  • Only Available to US and UK – Unfortunately you will not be able to use the app unless you are based in either of these countries.
  • High Payment Threshold – The minimum cash amount is £5 which is equivalent to 1500. So although £5 sounds small, it can take a while to earn enough coins to make a cashout.
  • Takes A Week For Payment To Reach You – It can take up to 1 week to receive payment. For some this may be long a wait, but it’s also not too long compared to some other programs I’ve used.
  • No Referral Program – As they’ve reached maximum capacity they are currently no longer offering a referral program.
  • Need To Remain Active On The App – It appears that you need to remain active on the app. So after 3 months of inactivity you’ll lose your account, and therefore your points.
  • Collects Data Based On Your Receipt – This may not be a con for most people, however you may not like having your data collected. If that’s the case, then this app may not be suitable for you.

 

Ways to Earn Extra Coins


  • Linking your Email = 100 coins
  • Linking Amazon Account = 36 coins + 5 sweepstake entires
  • Completing a Quick Questionnaire = 30 coins
  • Connecting the App with Another Household User = 40 coins
  • Sometimes you may win coins on Hog Slots, so that’s a nice opportunity to earn some extra coins
  • You also have a chance to win coins with the sweepstake prizes. As you get rewarded a sweepstake ticket for every receipt, the more receipts you upload, the more chance you have of winning the sweepstake prizes.

 

How To Make Sure Your Receipts Are Accepted


In order to make sure your receipts are fully accepted you should follow these tips:

  • Snap qualifying receipts
  • Make sure the picture is clear, bright and the receipt is flat
  • The receipt needs to show the store name, the items bought, the prices, the total and the date
  • If the receipt is long you may need to take 2 or more photos to cover the whole receipt.

 

How Long Does It Take To Cash Out?


Once you’ve redeemed your cash it can take up to 1 week to receive payment.

How To Redeem + Payment Proof


It’s very simple to redeem your points for cash.

When you’ve reached the minimum coin threshold, or the amount you want to cash out, you can head over to the “Rewards” icon at the bottom right hand corner of the app, then click “Redeem Prizes”.

Once you’ve selected “Redeem Prizes”, you can select the payment method you’d prefer to use.

You can choose to redeem your coins via Paypal or Amazon. Paypal payments are in cash, and Amazon payments are in the form of a gift card.

I was able to redeem via Paypal. Below you can see the steps I did to redeem £5 cash.

 

Below is a screenshot of the payment proof from Paypal to show that Receipt Hog is legit, and really pays it users.

 

Final Thoughts


In this Receipt Hog review I’ve shown you how you can use this app to earn some extra money using your smartphone.

It’s a really simple and easy app to use that allows you to earn money with little to no effort involved.

However, I wouldn’t recommend spending too much time on this app as it certainly won’t make you rich. It’s just a way to supplement your income.

If you’re like me, and hoard your receipts, you might as well get paid for them…and even if you’re not a receipt hoarder, there’s nothing to lose by snapping the receipts before you throw them away.

So, would I recommend Receipt Hog? YES! Receipt Hog is a legitimate app that pays out it’s users, and is an easy way to earn some extra cash.

So, all the steps I share in this post will be the same steps and tools I personally used to start the new blog.

How To Add Multiple Links On Instagram Using LinkTree

 

Have you ever wanted to add more than one link on Instagram, but never thought is was possible?

Whether you’re a blogger, online business owner, musician, or someone who wants to be able to share multiple content on Instagram, there’s a FREE online tool that lets you add multiple links on Instagram.

The tool I’m referring to is LinkTree.

 

What Is LinkTree?


LinkTree is a FREE online tool to help you optimise your Instagram traffic. Anyone can use this tool and it’s super easy to get set up.

You’re given one unique link to place within your Instagram bio, but you can add multiple link destinations to share with your followers.

Intrigued? Take a look at this quick step by step tutorial to show you how it works.

 

Step 1: Sign Up To LinkTree and Connect To Instagram


The first thing you need to do is head over to Linktr.ee and sign up using your Instagram account. If you’re not already signed into Instagram you’ll be prompted to do so with LinkTree.

 

Step 2: Add Buttons/Links of the Websites You Want To Share


After signing in, you simply add the links you want to share on Instagram.

 

Once you’ve clicked “Add New Button/Link”, then you just add your link, and the title of the page.

 

Step 3: Change Theme/Colour Scheme (Optional)


You now have the option to change the theme/colour scheme. There are a few designs to choose from. If you’d like more customisation you would need to purchase the Pro plan.

 

Step 4: Copy and Paste LinkTree Link Onto Instagram Bio


Now that you’ve added your links and customised the theme, you will be given your unique LinkTree link which you will need to copy and paste over to your Instagram bio.

Copy LinkTree Link

 

Head over to your Instagram profile and “Edit Profile”

 

Paste the unique link in the “Website” section and save.

 

Step 5: Test All Your Links To Make Sure They Work Correctly


Once you’ve added your link and saved your profile, you’ll find it  in your Instagram profile. This is the link your followers will see when they visit your profile. Then finally, test all the links to make sure they’re working correctly.

 

It’s as simple as that!

 

Pricing


FREE to join and use.

Pro – $6/month (includes more features)

 

Pros


  • FREE to join: LinkTree is free to join, and you can stay on the free plan as long as you like
  • Easy To Set-Up and Add Links: It’s super easy to set up your account and the links you want to share. Took me about 10 minutes to complete everything.
  • Multiple Theme Options
  • Integrates smoothly with Instagram

 

Cons


  •  Can’t add links to individual post: This probably isn’t much of a con because I don’t think there’s any tool out there which can do this, as Instagram doesn’t allow external links on posts. But for now you’re still able to add multiple links via your bio, which is the next best thing in my opinion.

 

Final Thoughts


So there you have it…how to add multiple links on Instagram using LinkTree. It’s the perfect tool for any blogger or online business owner(s) wanting to improve their Instagram traffic and marketing. I hope you’ve found this tutorial useful. If so, please comment and share with others.

JVZoo Academy Review + Insider Look Into The First Product Ever Endorsed By JVZoo

If you’re looking for an honest JVZoo Academy review then this is the place for you. Not only that, I was also able to test out the program, so in this review I get to share with you an insiders look (with screenshots) into what you can expect if you decide to purchase this program.


Name: JVZoo Academy

Website: JVZoo-Academy.com

Owner: Sam Bakker

Rating: 6/10

Launch Date: 9th May 2017

Promo period: 9th May 2017 to 15th May 2017 (Early Bird Discounts)

What Is JVZoo Academy?


JVZoo Academy is the one of the latest “hot” new product launches to hit the internet marketing space. But what’s all the hype about? Well, JVZoo Academy is the first ever product to be fully endorsed by JVZoo.

 

 

JVZoo Academy addresses their top 3 reasons that hold people back from succeeding online.

  1. Lack of Results
  2. A lack of Focus
  3. And a lack of a Proven System

Their goal is to address these issues within their program through their training system.

JVZoo Academy is definitely NOT a “get rich quick” scheme. It’s a program that will require hard work and your focus to get the work done in order to see results. This is a method that Sam claims he’s used himself over and over again, so it’s definitely a repeatable model that you can use to earn online.

Within the product you’ll also gain access to video and written guides, along with downloadable pdf guides/cheat sheets you can read on the go.

 

Owner of JVZoo Academy


The owner of JVZoo Academy is Sam Bakker. He is an internet marketing coach and trainer and has been very successful within the online business space. He has created products and launched them on JVZoo, and he has earned as an affiliate marketer through JVZoo.

He has definitely gained a lot of creditability in his time, and therefore I think he is someone worth learning from if you’re interested in product launches and affiliate marketing.
Just Google him and you’ll easily find information about him and his products through his website, and his JVZoo seller page. You can also reach out to him via Facebook.

Sam doesn’t hide from his products, he’s at the forefront, which is encouraging to see and I feel that he will aim to work towards providing value in whatever he creates.

 

 

 

What Training Is Included?


 

Getting Started Area (Front End Product $19.95)

Once you’ve purchased the main product you’ll have access the area where you learn about JVZoo Academy and how to use it, as well as some “kickstarter” guides to help you get started. This area covers the process of how to launch your product from start to finish, and how to succeed as an affiliate. The “Kickstarter” guides are available as downloadable PDFs which you can access at any time.

What’s Included in the Front End Product?

  • 18 Lessons
  • PDF files for helping create products, people looking to launch their products and affiliate marketers
  • Quick videos for each lesson

At first glance it appears there is more focus on creating products and launching them, with only a few lessons on the affiliate marketing side of things.

Within the Affiliate Marketing Kickstarter guide there’s a lot of focus on Email Marketing. And if you’re a beginner Affiliate Marketer then you might struggle to get started just on that information alone. There’s no proper beginner training in my opinion, and not enough focus on other types of traffic methods such as social media and blog sites.  But if you have some experience with Affiliate Marketing and you want to tackle Email Marketing, then you’ll get a list of useful tools and resources to help you be successful with it.

If you’re interested in launching a product, then you’ll get a lot of information to help you choose a product to create and launch it on JVZoo. You’ll get access to his recommended tools and resources to take your launch to the next level. Overall, you’re offered a very informative guide that should help you successfully launch on JVZoo.

 

JVZoo Academy Mastery  ($37/month or $197 One Time Offer)

This program includes 4 core modules to help you set up your business, create and launch your product and find “winning” affiliate products to promote and earn from.

 

Core Module 1: Fundamentals

The aim of the Fundamentals module is to learn what’s available to you as a new online marketer.

It works towards showing you how to use the JVZoo system to your advantage.

The screenshot on the left shows a preview of the some of the different lessons within this module.

In this module you’ll get 10 lessons which focus on getting started with JVZoo. The main training videos are very short and there are no downloadable PDFs. But you’ll find additional videos within some of the lessons.

If you’re a complete beginner then this module will give you a good overview of JVZoo and how it works. But if you’re already very familiar with JVZoo, then this module may be worth skipping.

 

 

Core Module 2: Business Foundations


In this module you’ll learn about what you need to get a fast start with JVZoo. It’s a good starting point for new members.

The module is geared towards making sure you treat this new venture as a real business.

You get tips on how to create a business name as well as the legal setups involved.

There are 44 lessons in this section that cater to the legal aspects of having a business, how to provide support within your new business, and how to actually create/set up your business.

I like that they also provide tips on choosing a social media name and finding and buying a domain for your business.

Most of these guides are presented in video trainings, as well as PDF files for you to download.

On the left you can see a quick overview of some of the lessons you can expect.

Core Module 3: Launch Formula


The Launch Formula module aims to show you how to successfully launch your first product on JVZoo, with step by step guides.

If you’re interested in launching your own product then this module is just for you.

Overall there are 25 lessons and you’ll get access to video and written guides, as well as the recommended tools and resources you need to create your launch.

These tools will help you with creating video, creating your sales/landing pages, choosing an autoresponder and webinar integration etc.

The screenshot on the left will give you a quick preview of what you can expect from this module.

 

 

Core Module 4: Affiliate Masterclass


The Affiliate Masterclass module focuses on teaching you everything you need to know to sell over JVZoo as an affiliate.

There are only 8 lessons in this module, and the training here seems to jump right into Email Marketing.

I felt there wasn’t much beginner Affiliate Marketer training, so if you’re totally new then it may be difficult to follow.

I feel this module is better suited to people who have some experience with Affiliate Marketing, and also have a list that they can promote too.

It just seems as though the training assumes you already have some kind of traffic source, whether it’s Email Marketing, social media (e.g. Facebook), or a blog site.

However, most beginners will not have a solid source of traffic, and may not fully benefit form the training in the module.

In regards to the actual training in this module, you do get tips on how gain subscribers, but they mostly recommend creating a product first and building your list that way (so the 3 core modules beforehand will be very useful if you decide to go through this route). You also get tips on promoting your emails (how many times a day, what time of the day etc), how to write your emails and how to find winning promotions on JVZoo to share with your list.

 

JVZoo Academy Mastery course is $37 monthly fee, or your can get the full package for $197 as a one time fee.

 

[alert-success]If you’re interested, you can purchase the full package here[/alert-success]

 

Interviews from top JVZoo earners

As well as the 4 core modules you also get access to:

  • iGloo app (Page builder and membership creation system)
  • Interviews from top JVZoo earners
  • Monthly Q & A Webinars
  • Forum Access
  • Smart Progress Tracking Software – With this you can track your progress through the course
  • Product Spotlight Access

  • This is a 60 day action plan that is aimed to make you stay more focus and achieve your goals.
  • You can dedicate just 1 hour a day and follow the custom action plan.
  • Each day you’ll receive 1 video and a simple guide to follow for that day.
  • This offer also comes with a 60 day money back guarantee.

  • One time fee of $97.
  • It’s a tool that helps you create membership sites and build complete funnels for your product.

JVZoo Academy (Front End)$19.95

JVZoo Academy Mastery (Upsell)$37/month or $197 One Time Offer (OTO)

60 Day Masterclass (Upsell) – $97 OTO

Who Is It For?


JVZoo Academy is for those of you who:

  • Are ready to earn an income in your own online business.
  • Want to be your own boss.
  • Want to be able to create, launch and sell your own products.
  • Aiming to be a better JVZoo affiliate.
  • Are ready to take action and invest your time into this program.

 

Who Is It NOT For?


  • Anyone looking for a “get rich quick” scheme, this is not that type of program.
  • If you’re not willing to take action, focus and put the effort in.
  • Those looking for in-depth Affiliate Marketing training. Although you get some training on this area, there’s a lot more focus on creating and launching a product via JVZoo.

 

Pros


  • 3 Easy to Follow Guides – Aimed at helping you kickstart your Product Creation, Product Launch and Affiliate Marketing success.
  • You Don’t Need To Promote The Product In Order To Earn Money – This program is geared towards you creating your own products to sell, or finding the best products to promote for your business.
  • Created by a Top Seller on JVZoo – Sam Bakker is definitely qualified to take teach others how to create products and launch them on JVZoo because he’s done it himself and is making a full time income with it.
  • Product Is Fully Endorsed By JVZoo – The entire product has been fully backed by JVZoo, which makes it even more credible. JVZoo have a very good reputation, and I can’t imagine they would jeopardise that if they felt this product didn’t offer a lot of value.

 

Cons


  • No Free Trial Available – There’s no free trial available for the product and I usually prefer products that allow you to try before you buy.
  • Not Enough Focus on Affiliate Marketing – I feel that the program is more geared toward creating and launching a product on JVZoo. So if you’re looking for in-depth training on Affiliate Marketing, I don’t think this program would suit you.
  • Need To Purchase Upsell Products To Get Full Benefits of The Program – In the front end product you get 3 easy to follow guides. But in order to access the 4 core in-depth modules you would need to purchase the JVZoo Academy Mastery program which is $37/month or $197 OTO. So that’s just something to bare in mind. If you really want to get full use of the program you would need to consider purchasing the upsells.

 

My # 1 Recommendation for Affiliate Marketing Training


I’m an active member of Wealthy Affiliate and I personally like to recommend this program because it provides you with a training platform that allows you to learn how to earn an income online through Affiliate Marketing. It gives you access to the right tools and training to help you get started.

What Make Wealthy Affiliate Different To JVZoo Academy?

Wealthy Affiliate is focused on Affiliate Marketing and offer very in-depth training for beginners who want to start an Affiliate Marketing Business. You don’t need to have any experience in order to make use of all the training available. You can create a FREE starter membership to get an inside look at the program. If you choose to upgrade your account you get your first month $19, and then $49/month or $359/year. Furthermore, you get access to a huge community of like minded individuals for you to interact with and learn from…plus much more.

JVZoo Academy front end product is $19.95, and the upsell package is $37/month or $197 one time. You can get training on Affiliate Marketing, but the main focus is on Product Creation and Launch.

Take a look at my quick comparison table below:

 

Overall, both products offer reliable and repeatable methods. Your choice will depend on what you’re more interested in…Affiliate Marketing or Product Creation and Launch.

 

SPECIAL WEALTHY AFFILIATE BONUS

If you join me at Wealthy Affiliate, as a special bonus you’ll get your first premium month for only $19. That’s over 59% discount. It’s a great way to really test out the premium membership and see if Wealthy Affiliate is for you.

However, you can always get started with the FREE membership first.

 

Final Thoughts


Hopefully this JVZoo Academy review has been informative. Overall, I feel this program is more suited to those of you who are interested in creating your own product and wanting to successfully launch it on the JVZoo platform. You get access to the tools and resources you need, from a fellow Internet Marketer who is experienced in this field.

However, I feel the Affiliate Marketing training available within the program is not very detailed and I believe it’s better suited to those of you who are familiar with Affiliate Marketing, and are looking to boost your earning potential through Email Marketing. But I don’t think that the Affiliate training alone is worth up to $197. You’d have to want to also create your own products and launch them for it to be worth that much in my opinion.

In regards to beginner training, I don’t think this program offers the best training for complete beginners interested in Affiliate Marketing.

So, if you’re someone that’s looking for in-depth beginner Affiliate Marketing training, I would personally recommend Wealthy Affiliate instead (see review here).

With this tool the next step will be to search for buyer keywords within your niche, and get hold of low competition keywords.

Step 3: Rank Youtube Videos

For this you’ll be using the Website2Image and Image2Video tools.

  • Website2Image – This tool allows you to search affiliate products and screenshot images from the sales page to put into your videos
  • Image2Video – Once you’ve captured your images, you head over to this tool and import the files to render the video. Then you upload onto youtube.

Then you’ll be taught how to add keywords to your videos to get them to rank high on Youtube. The aim is to create short videos fast and promote your affiliate link for immediate commissions. But I’m not sure how successful these videos will be. Most people these days want videos with value.

 

Step 4: Get Free Google Traffic

To get this you’ll be using the DomainAveli and Titan WP theme tools to create a website that you can monetise and rank on Google. However, I’m not sure if you get training on how to create quality content and how to do effective SEO to rank on Google.

Furthermore it appears you will need to purchase a domain name and hosting for your site, which isn’t mention within the sales page. So just be aware that there will be an additional costs in order to rank on Google with a website.

 

Pricing


Early Bird Price$7 One Time Fee (this is for a limited time only)

After the limited period the price is expected to increase to $147/month.

So if you’re truly interested in this program I’d highly recommend you get it as soon as possible before the price increases.

 

Who Is It For?


  • Anyone interested in generating free traffic for their youtube videos and websites.
  • Those wanting to work hard, and not expecting a “get rich quick” scheme. Despite the claims, you do need to work hard in order to make anywhere near the amounts of money they claim.

 

Who Is It NOT For?


  • Anyone looking for a long term sustainable home business

I think there are some benefits to the program and I believe that peeople who work hard can earn money with this method, however I don’t feel you’ll be working towards a sustainable long term home business. So if that’s something you’re looking for then this program may not be for you.

Pros


  • Cheap – Only $7. Considering you get access to 6 software tools, I think the price is very reasonable. However, this is a limited offer.
  • Has 6 Software Tools
  • Software Mac/PC Compatible
  • Can pay using Paypal – You can pay using Paypal as well as credit card, and you don’t have to worry about being billed monthly
  • One Time Fee – The program costs $7 as a one time offer
  • 30 Day Money Back Guarantee

 

Cons


  • No FREE trial – I’m a fan of programs that offer a free trial, but unfortuntely this program doesn’t offer that. However, they still offer a very affordable price of only $7, so it’s still a good deal in my opinion.
  • Video creator tools not the best for creating quality Youtube videos – Both the Website2Image tool and Image2Video tools are used to help you create Youtube videos very fast. However, I personally don’t feel this program will help you create quality videos. You’ll very likely get free traffic with these videos, your video will very well rank on youtube, and you’ll be able to create videos quite fast. But it’s very unlikely that you’ll get real conversions and sales. Ultimately that’s the focus behind creating these videos. But people are looking for value and quality, so if you’re not provding that then you won’t have many successful conversions
  • Needs a computer download – Although the software is Mac and PC compatible, it means that a computer download is required.
  • Dramatic Price increase – I was very surprised to see that after the limited time offer the price will be increased to $147/month. I can’t really understand why they’ve chosen to do that. It’s not just $147 one time…it’ll be a monthly fee! It’s such a big jump and it does make me feel a little skeptical, and I’m not sure that this program will be worth that monthly fee.
  • No mention of potential Domain and Hosting costs – The program talks about finding profitable domain names in order to create a website, but there’s no mention of the cost of this domain name. You’ll essentually be paying for domain and hosting, and it appears to be via Hostgator. This will cost you about $3.95-$4.95/month

Traffic Titan vs My #1 Recommendation


I’m an active member of Wealthy Affiliate and I personally like to recommend this program because it privdes an in-depth training platform to learn how to earn an income online through Affiliate Marketing.

Although the main focus of Traffic Titan is about generating free traffic, it aims to help you generate traffic to affiliate offers, so it’s dessigned to work aside affiliate marketing.

The main difference for me is that I feel Wealthy Affiliate training works towards building a sustainable long-term business online, where you can becaome an authority in your niche. Whereas Traffic Titan offers training that will help you earn an income, but the results are more likely more short term.

Overall, I can’t imagine that Traffic Titan will last 11 years the same way Wealthy Affiliate has been strong for last 11 years. This is just my personal opinion.

I’ve also included a comparison table below:

 

SPECIAL WEALTHY AFFILIATE BONUS

If you join me at Wealthy Affiliate, as a special bonus you’ll get your first premium month for only $19. That’s over 59% discount. It’s a great way to really test out the premium membership and see if Wealthy Affiliate is for you.

However, you can always get started with the FREE membership first.

 

My Final Thoughts


If you’re looking for an affordable program to help you learn about generating free traffic, then I feel Traffic Titan offers some useful tips and guides. If you’re able to apply the tools and training then I believe you can generate an affiliate income with this program, however, as mentioned before, I don’t think it is a sustainable option for starting an online business.

My aim with reviews like this is to help you find the best online business programs, and unfortuntely I don’t think Traffic Titan is the best option for that. I feel Wealthy Affiliate is the more appropriate option for starting an affiliate marketing business.

Overall, I hope I’ve provided enough information to give you the opportunity to make an informed decision about Traffic Titan.
