Paid surveys, equipment rental… Here’s how to earn a nice sum of money from your couch.
Do you want to make ends meet without leaving home? This should please you. Certain platforms, accessible to all and above all appreciated for their reliability, offer you the opportunity to earn a little money from the comfort of your living room. Whether by responding to surveys, renting your tools or testing websites, take a closer look at these five practical solutions to put a little butter on your spinach.
The first is called Toluna. It is one of the most popular ways to earn money by taking paid surveys. The principle is simple: you complete surveys on different topics, and accumulate points that you can exchange for gift certificates or money. 3,000 points are worth around 1 euro and you can accumulate between 15 and 50,000 points depending on the surveys offered.
Furthermore, if you have a drill or a mower lying around in the garage, the Bricolib site offers you the opportunity to rent them and earn money easily. This site works a bit like Airbnb, but for DIY tools. You publish the tools that you are ready to rent, and wait for individuals or professionals to contact you. To give you an idea, a thermal wood chipper can be rented for around 240 euros per day and a simple hammer is priced at 10 euros per day.
There is also iGraal, a cashback site that allows you to recover part of the money spent during your online purchases. After registration, you access a list of partner sites (such as H&M, La Redoute or Cdiscount). With each purchase, a percentage of the amount is returned to you in the form of cashback, which you can then cash out via PayPal or bank transfers. When you register, you receive 3 euros as a gift, then you can obtain on average 4% reimbursement from 60 euros of purchase.
Another option: if you like to give your opinion and test new applications, Userlytics is for you. This platform offers you the opportunity to test websites or applications in exchange for remuneration. You will need to navigate the site, answer a few questions about the user experience, and provide detailed feedback. Missions vary between 5 and 20 minutes, and you can earn between 5 and 90 euros per test, depending on its complexity.
Finally, if you have a knack for logo design, writing, or translating, Fiverr is a website that allows you to monetize your skills online. You offer your services there, and clients hire you for one-off missions. Whether it is to create a design, write a text or edit a video, there is always a demand. Prices generally start at 5 euros, but can quickly increase depending on the nature and complexity of the task. Some good deals that you can also combine to aim for a salary supplement with several zeros!
