How We Earned an Extra $998.39 in the last 6 Weeks

How We Earned An Extra $998.39 in the last 6 Weeks

I must say I am blessed with a wonderful spouse who works full time to support our family and does a great job, but with our medical bills and medical conditions I am always looking for ways we can save or earn a little more despite our physical challenges.

Since my daughter and I are unable to work outside the home we have researched ways we could earn a little at home while in our pj’s, watching TV or listening to our favorite audio book. Once we found companies we liked we decided to share them with others.

Some companies do offer bonus referrals, and we share those links as well as ones that don’t. While we appreciate the opportunity to earn a little more from sharing with you, we aren’t going to withhold sites or programs that don’t offer bonuses. We share them all if we have found them to be beneficial.

We have included the company, links and amount earned with each. Disclosure: Some of the links below may earn us bonus points or credits. Using our link will often benefit you as well. For our full disclosure policy click here.

Please keep in mind these are the points we have earned during THIS 6 weeks only, not running totals. We want to paint a clear picture of what is possible. Also, keep in mind we do not spend more than 30 minutes to an hour a day working on these.

Target Gift Cards: $25.00

(To be honest, this is just money back on groceries and supplies we would have purchased originally. I save these cards for “extras,” or when I am really penny pinching. Many bloggers include these gift cards as money saved on the original shopping trip, but to me it isn’t money saved because you spent that cash out of pocket and the gift cards can only be used for a later purchase.)

For only a few hours of work online, dropping off clothes/books, setting up a garage sale or on my Kindle Fire I would say we made some fairly good money.

Who couldn’t use an extra $100+ a month?
