We continue to talk about ways to make extra money from the authors of the financial blog. The Penny Hoarder. The first part of the material can be read here.

26. Get $ 3 per month talking about your purchases at Amazon

If you often buy products on Amazon, you can get paid monthly for this. Your purchase data will help you research online consumer behavior. Companies use this information to improve online shopping.

To get the first gift card:

1. Sign up and download ShopTracker application to your Windows computer and an Apple or Android phone. It takes about 2 minutes. You will need to answer a couple of questions regarding using Amazon to see if you are eligible for the survey.
2. Open the app and log in to your Amazon account to automatically download your purchase history.
3. You will receive a Visa electronic gift voucher for $ 3 by email within 48 hours.
4. Spending a few minutes to download your purchase history, you will receive $ 3 monthly.

Information collected by The Harris Poll, a reliable company that has been conducting market research for over 20 years. ShopTracker removes the name, shipping address and bank card details before transferring purchase information.

27. Sell ​​photos from your smartphone

If you have a smartphone and a talent for making beautiful photos, this opens up even more opportunities for additional income. But you also need to have the scenery and setting suitable for photography.

New application Foap allows you to make money on photos for your smartphone. To do this, you need to install it for free and upload your high-quality photos there. If someone buys a license for your photo for $ 10, you will earn $ 5.

By selling a 20 photo, you can earn $ 100 effortlessly. Not bad, right?

28. Get a free $ 10 gift card from Ebates

You can not believe it, but there are websites that distribute free gift certificates just for registration. One of them - Ebates, a site that returns money for purchases. By registering a new account you get your first cash back. You can choose from Target, Walmart, Macy's or Kohl's gift cards for $ 10. The map will have to wait 30 days, but it's free, so what's the difference?

29. Earn up to $ 30 per day by visiting premieres

One of the authors of this material was paid $ 30 for attending the premiere of one of the Harry Potter films (this was her fifth paid premiere). Cinemas and film studios want to see data about the audience that attends the premieres of their films: how many people buy tickets on the day of the premiere, what time is the most popular and what trailers are on the screen. They collect this data through a contracting company.

To get to this "study", you need to submit an application to one of the largest companies for secret shopping - Certified Field Associates. There are only a few questions in the application. Almost all residents of the United States and Canada can participate.

(By the way, the real company for secret shopping differs from the fake one in that they never ask for registration money in the present. Pay attention to this!).

Once you have been approved as a certified Field Associates auditor, start monitoring their task list. New tasks fall as they appear. If you see a movie you want to go to, you can take on this task. Earnings are small - about $ 10-20 per hour.

30. Look for weird dollars in your wallet.

Or rather banknotes with strange or rare serial numbers. Collectors from CoolSerialNumbers.com created most wanted list serial numbers - you may be lucky enough to find one of them in your wallet. It turns out that old coins are not the only valuable money in terms of collecting!

Especially pay attention to such rare serial numbers of banknotes:

• Seven identical numbers in a row on a dollar bill (for example, 77777776)
• Seven identical numbers on a dollar bill (for example, 00010000)
• Original replays on a dollar bill (for example, 67676767)
• Two groups of identical numbers on a dollar bill (for example, 00009999).

32. Work as a pseudo juror

Then the work of pseudo-jurors online will suit you - to help lawyers prepare for real hearings. In an hour, you can earn from $ 10 to $ 60. Instead of listening to the arguments of the parties to the case, you will consider the evidence - documents, video and photos - on your computer.

33. Test websites

By helping companies research how consumers use their sites, you can earn approximately $10 for 20 minutes of evaluating a site or application (for example, through a service called UserTesting).

34. Join the class action

If you use a product that is currently involved in a class action lawsuit against it, a little effort - and you can get a cash reward. The rules for each individual hearing may be different, but in most cases you will need to provide proof of purchase or use of the product — for example, a serial number or check. Fill out the form on your claim, wait a few weeks or months to get paid.
