With all of the options out there, this post on Reddit could be incredibly long. So, I want to focus on one, specific way to make money online with Reddit:
r/beermoney
First, you must understand how Reddit works. It is a user-generated content sharing site that is broken into smaller groups called subreddits. People can post links or text blurbs. One of the most central parts of Reddit is the comments. It's just not a link-sharing site; it's also a community-building program where the comments are actually useful (although also often a little off-track).
r/beermoney is a subreddit that focuses on projects that allow you to earn smaller quantities of money in regular ways. These often include links to survey sites, search engine payout programs, mechanical turk projects, and many more.
But, again, it's not just a list of programs. r/beermoney is a community of users intent on making smaller, but regular amounts of money that can be used to pay for the little things in life. Like cases of beer. If you can earn $20 every month through petite projects, you can indulge in a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
Among these recommendations for various ways to make a little beer money, this subreddit is also great for getting the inside scoop on which programs are better for which types of people, troubleshooting error problems, and how to turn the beer money world into a lifestyle. And believe me, it can become a lifestyle.
Sure, these aren't necessarily life-shattering quantities of cash, but the occasional disbursement of $5, $10, or even more can be a huge help in these tough economic times.
Plus, many of the methods shared on r/beermoney require nothing more than switching your primary search engine or spending a little time here and there.
Who is r/beermoney good for?
- Broke college students
- Parents looking to save on essentials
- Single people trying to cover their vices (video games, nail polish, stocking up on exotic spices, etc)
- Regular Amazon or PayPal users
- Discount lovers
Many of the programs will dole out payment via Amazon credit or PayPal, but those are not exclusive by any means. Quite a few will even send printer checks, but many others will give you the opportunity to use your accrued points or earnings to buy gift cards to anywhere you'd like. This includes grocery and home improvement stores, major retailers, and even specialty online merchants.
Again, r/beermoney most likely will not earn your enough to replace your regular paycheck, but it is a wonderful way to supplement meager earnings. Plus, it takes little to no experience, and is usually very easy. Check it out today!
