You know there's many ways to make money online
but did you know that you can also get paid for completing simple tasks with your smart phone? One of the easiest ways is earning money for shopping. Yes, you can actually receive money for the receipts you get when you go shopping. There are two main sites that allow you to do this.
Receipt Hog
Simply take pictures of any receipts you receive from shopping anywhere. You may submit 20 receipts per month, earning virtual coins for each receipt submitted. Once you earn 1,000 virtual coins, you'll earn $5. There are also other rewards, such as gift cards, available. Everything you submit is anonymous but will impact the products and promotions offered by your local stores. The best part is that you can live anywhere and take advantage of Receipt Hog.
Ibotta
This is another free mobile app that allows you to take pictures of your receipts. Before you even head out shopping you'll want to look through Ibotta for rebates or ways to earn cash back by doing some simple tasks. You can both save and earn money thanks to this app. The difference between Ibotta and Receipt Hog is that Ibotta is not based on any type of point system. Instead, you earn real cash that you transfer to your PayPal account once you've earned $10. Of course, gift cards are also available for those who prefer that option.
The Bottom Line
You probably go shopping several times a week. Why not take advantage of one of these great apps to make a little extra money online? While it's not a lot, you'll find that every penny definitely helps.
