It struck me one day, why hasn’t anyone done a big compilation of all the legit sites that can actually pays you to make money online before yet? I frequently read the beermoney subreddit (Shoutout to the Beermoney community!), and see the same questions getting asked over and over again.

And so with that, I decided to compile ALL the popular programs, including some not so popular ones that are definitely legit and paying at the point of writing this guide. These could range from mobile apps to websites, to freelancing websites and more.

If I have done a personal review of a program, I will link it back to my original article. If not, there would be some comments on certain programs too to describe what is it about, or the incentives of the program/website. All programs will indicate if they are for international use (If not, I will list the countries that can use them), which platform they support (Desktop/Mobile), and whether they pay through Paypal or not.

All programs are FREE TO SIGNUP. If anything else, I will indicate them in the comments section too.

If you have not made money online before, I can guarantee you that at least one of the program listed below can help you make your first dollar online.

DISCLAIMER: There are some referral links in some of the posts, which would give me points or a small commission when you sign up my link. If you love this article, feel free to say thanks by using my referral! I would definitely appreciate it 🙂

Core Things You Need!

1. PayPal

In order to really start earning money online, you would definitely need a Paypal account and get it verified. If you need instructions on how to do so, click the link above to check out how you can do so. Most businesses usually pay through PayPal, so you would definitely want to have an account for most cases to receive payments easily.

2. A Smartphone

Some of these programs require you to have a smartphone as some programs only operates on an app. If you do not have one, you may want to source for a cheap phone such as the Kyocera Hydro. Alternatively, you can use an iPod touch or iPad for iOS applications if you do not own an iPhone. Getting a iPhone 3GS/4/4S should be relatively cheaper now as well.

3. A Computer/Laptop

Some sites are meant to do on a computer or a laptop, as these sites may not support mobile phone yet. Also great to have a computer on hand as some of the sites are really mobile unresponsive even though you can access it on one.

Downloading Apps

The programs under this category are usually done on a smartphone. The basic procedure to earn money is usually done by downloading apps in the program, and using the programs for about 30 seconds to a minute before you are credited points. These points can then be changed to Paypal money, gift cards or other reward.

There are a lot of survey sites out there on the internet. I have actually posted quite a few right here but I will be adding a few more popular options to this list as well. To earn from survey sites, it is recommended you sign up multiple survey sites and register your information.

Once you set up your account, most survey sites send surveys straight to your E-mail which makes it convenient for you.
