Mintvine is a wonderful survey website, that you will love. This site pays you to participate in surveys for companies and the points are really not that hard to stack up.



HOW YOU EARN

You can earn points that you can retrieve for cash by not just completing surveys, but also by participating in their daily question, one really simple question is asked each day like which movie is your favorite and you are given a list to choose one answer and just like that you earn 5 points each day. You may also earn by visiting their offers tab and also by referring others.



Payment

As mentioned before you earn points on Mintvine a 1000 points equal $10 and this is the minimum you are allowed to cash out. It's really not hard to get to the minimum cash out you are offered 300 points from signing through someone's invitation plus you get a few points for completing your profile which allows them to get to know you and which surveys will suit you. The surveys themselves do give really good points, which is why this is my dad's favorite site to do surveys, he as cashed out a few times himself, he usually lets his points accumulate and cashes out larger amount than myself. I received my payment within a week of putting in my request to be paid via PayPal

Con

My only con is that it does take a while for your points to move from pending state to approved, this can take weeks, but my advice would be just to do as many surveys behind each other so they can be approved at the same time so you will be able to cash out faster.

CONCLUSION

If you are into taking surveys this is the website for you, payment is efficient and there are a lot of surveys to be done, so can earn some nice extra cash. Click here to sign up

If you're looking for another way to make some extra cash Usability hub is just the perfect place to do so. I came across this site via a YouTube post by workers on board, and I decided to give it a try. Earning cash on this website is quite simple, there is nothing that's time-consuming or confusing to do on here.

What is Usability hub?
This is a website where website builders go to get a second opinion on a website or logo they are building or to find out how user-friendly the site they are creating is. To get this done is where we come in, we get paid to give our option test out a part of there website. Usability as five different types of tests that they ask you to participate in to earn, these are five seconds test, click test, preference test, question test & navigation test.

Five Seconds Test

With this test a website or a logo will appear on your screen for five seconds, then when this screen is gone a few questions will come up real simple questions asking you about what you just saw, a question such as what do you think this website offers etc. and your answers are limited to a few  characters so no epistle questions can be between 1 - 3.

Click Test

With this test, a website will come up on your screen when you accept the test before this pops up you will be given instructions as to what they expect you to do, you then click accept and carry out the what the instructions ask of you. An example of a click test would be

Preference Test

With this test you are given options of a logo or website etc to choose which one you like more, you will be given instructions as to what they want you to look at specifically whether it's the color, the design, the layout or whatever. You choose the one you prefer to submit and you are done just that simple.



Question Test

This one is somewhat similar to the five-second test, but the website or logo isn't taken off the screen within five seconds. Instructions are given if you choose to accept this test then you are shown the image and you are asked 1-5 questions about the image shown, very simple questions which require very short and simple answers like I said before writing characters are limited sometimes I even run out of characters and have to shorten my answers. When you are done you click submit you get rewarded and you are done.

Earnings

You are rewarded 10 cents for each answer you submit, which is pretty OK seeing that each test takes less than a minute, 2 minutes the most if what you want to say doesn't come to you right a way and you need some more time to think it through, some times if I have to think through too much either I'm not understanding what's being asked of me I will skip the test and move on, and there are times if you take too long to carry out the instructions given the page will refresh itself.



Payouts

The minimum payout is $20 so you do need to reach this amount before you can put in a request. When you put in a request all your answers all 200 of them which brought you to $20 are subjected for review, so each answer is reviewed for standard/quality before payments are made(I really didn't have a problem as I did get all my money) you can read what they are looking to see for all responses submitted on their website and they are really not looking for anything that's hard to follow. Once a review is done payouts are made to your PayPal account. It did take me a while to get paid as on their website it said that payouts would be made within 7 days, but mine took about 2 weeks, when I contacted them to find out what was going on the response was timely and I was told they were a bit backlogged but I would get paid, which I did get paid.

Cons
My only two cons with this site is that:

1. I wish that they had more tests to do, tests are kinda few and far between but I think over time it will grow.

2. Sometimes I need a little more time to think up what to write, but like I said before if you take too long the website refreshes itself.

Conclusion

This is a really great site to earn from, it's simple and doesn't take much time out of your day. They are legit, you don't pay to sign up, payment may take some time but you will get paid which is absolutely great in my book. So I do think you should give it a try and it's fun to see these websites and logos before they are launched. Click here to join

I was searching for an app that I could earn some extra cash from for a while, which got me downloading app after app that made claims that I could earn, but none worked for me, that was until I found app karma.. This app allows you to earn cash or gift cards by doing simple tasks such as downloading other apps. This app turned out to be so much fun, more fun than other pay to download app that I have tried.

How to earn

You earn by downloading apps that are listed in the offers tab section. App karma works on a points basis, each app offer gives you a certain amount of points to download said app, which is credited to your account upon completion of downloading and playing with the app for a few minutes. Along with those points you can also earn karma points, which is shown beside the game control icon of each app that offers this extra earning points. Karma play points are additional points given if you keep the game on your device for a given period. So let's say I downloaded SuperLocker- charge faster, I would receive 11 points just to download the app, but I would earn an extra 50 points if I keep the app for 2 more days. To get this extra points the karma play section as a countdown timer from the time you download the game to 24 hrs later when you would need to play the game again to earn the karma points for that day, this goes on until the karma play runs out, then you can either choose to keep the app or delete it. You also get 2x karma points when you play with the app the very next day after you download it

You can also earn by answering quizzes. some apps as a quiz Icon next to it, which means when you download the app you can earn points by answering a few really simple about them that you downloaded.

Another way to earn is by watching videos, each video you watch gives you 1 point. these are really short 30 seconds or less app trailers. You are allowed a maximum of 15 videos every 24hr.

You also get badges for certain achievements which gives you points that go to your overall earnings, which the picture above shows

You are given 5 points every 24 hrs you check into app karma which is great.

You may also earn by referring your friends and family to app karma

So as you can see there are a lot of ways in which to earn.

Redeeming Your Points

To redeem your points I quite easy, and it was faster than I expected to. I cashed out in the morning and by that night I got received a message via PayPal that I had received cash from app karma. They state that payment takes up to 72 hours.



There are different ways to redeem you can do so via PayPal, Amazon gift card, iTunes, Google play, Starbucks, Xbox, PlayStation store or Steam.

The least amount you can withdraw at one time is $3 and that's via Paypal. Above is a picture of how many points are needed to withdraw from each outlet. Each time you withdraw they also give you back a few points to get you back on track.

Conclusion

This is a really fun way to earn some extra cash, whether you are a teen or adult it's great fun to spend a few minutes to earn cash or gift cards. I do recommend trying it out, you won't regret it. Their customer service is also extremely good, they get back to you in a timely manner, which I really appreciate. Click here to sign up, use code sheens to receive 300 points
