3. Swagbucks: Watch videos, take surveys and surf the web
Swagbucks is a way to earn free gift cards and Team Clark knows for sure that it’s NOT a scam!

Like some of the cash back apps that we previously mentioned, Swagbucks awards users points for online shopping.

But it’s different because you can also get rewards for searching the web, watching videos and taking surveys.

4. Participate in a focus group

Once you register online, you’ll get emails with surveys to help you qualify for paid focus groups with Focus Pointe Global. The studies are conducted at the company’s 20 facilities nationwide and online.

Our team member most recently was part of a 36-member panel that viewed TV commercials and answered multiple choice questions about them.

5. Become a food tester
“The process is pretty straightforward: You fill out a questionnaire (either online or over the phone since sometimes they call you if they need to fill open slots)

and if you qualify for the taste test you simply pick one of the available time slots,” Chelsea says.

“You never know which fast food/restaurant you’re going to be tasting until you arrive and begin the taste test.”

6. Wrap your car in advertising
Wrapify is a company that pays you to wrap your car in advertising for their clients.

Clark’s radio producer Joel Larsgaard tested it out and says he made $200 after about three months.

7. Take advantage of a credit card sign-up bonus

When you start to look at credit cards with annual fees — particularly travel cards —

you may be able to pay for an entire vacation with sign-up bonuses worth $500 to $1,000.

Often times, credit card issuers will waive the annual fee for these cards during the first year.

8. Open a new bank account

Not all bank bonuses require such large deposits,

but most of them do make you take extra steps like setting up direct deposit, using your debit card a certain number of times and maintaining a minimum monthly balance to avoid a fee.
