Electronic Scrap

If you save all of your old junk, chances are you have some computers and other electronics sitting around that no longer function properly. There are components inside of these electronics that are worth some money. A lot of the parts in computers have some value even when they no longer work. They have parts that are coated in precious metals like copper, aluminum, and sometimes even gold. If you take a day to take all of the boards out of the old equipment, you can box it up and ship it out to different companies that will pay you for the scrap.

Different companies pay in different ways. Some even pay for shipping so that you don't have to incur the extra cost of shipping 50+ lbs of electronic scrap. Some companies pay by the weight of the different component categories you send in in total before taking the precious metals off of the scrap ($0.70 / lb hard drives). Some will pay you based off of the current price of what they can salvage from the things you send in. It takes a hefty amount of any recycled goods to make a lot of money from them, but every little bit counts. Maybe you have a computer repair business on the side or a collection of busted printers. All of those can be taken apart to get the components that the companies will take.

Here are a couple of those companies. There may even be some local to you that you can just drop stuff off to.

GigBucks - Yet Another Fiverr

GigBucks is another great Fiverr knock off. I really like this one since you can post jobs from $5-$50 ads. This is another great website for those with SEO skills. There are lots of opportunities for SEO jobs, article writing, Data Entry, Cleaning out viruses, etc.

Maybe you have a fantastic fresh, new idea? Maybe you are going to corner the market? This may be the right place to get started on that, especially since you can corner the market and start in higher.

They are simple, work just like Fiverr, and are same style commission.

Ebay - Quick, simple.

Similar to the Craigslist post earlier regarding selling your stuff on Craigslist, well you can also sell  your stuff on Ebay as well. You can sell things such as old clothes that no longer fit. CD's that you have on your computer, and phone. Maybe you have an emporium of DVD's / Blu-rays, and you have enough space to place them on your computer? Well you can now get rid of them, while still keeping them technically. You are selling the physical version of them. Maybe you do not watch them any longer, and they are just taking up space. If you have old games you can throw them up on Ebay as well.

Just make sure to do a little research first. Maybe you should sell everything together? Depending on the items you are selling, it may make more sense to sell them this way so that you make money. If you sell everything for $1, after Ebay fees you may lose money, instead of gaining money.

Perk

Perk is very similar to Swag Bucks. There are many options available to earn points. You can do anything from search the web using the Perk search to answer surveys or sign up for special offers. Small tasks like this add up points quickly for you so after a few days you can be using those points for gift cards. Another thing besides the Perk rewards points that you earn are tokens. Those can be used to enter sweepstakes for things like bitcoin or appliances.

One other cool feature of Perk is the Perk TV app. If you have an extra device laying around such as a tablet that isn't often used, you can download the app and let it run to earn you points. You can have up to five devices running for your account earning points by streaming videos. I personally even have it running on my phone while I am asleep so that I am always earning.

If you join Perk Here - Join Perk then you will get 50 points to get you started. 

Craigslist - Easy and quick

The easiest way I have found ro make a quick easy buck is selling items on Craigslist. If you anything laying around such as an old guitar, maybe a computer, or even some magazines, you can sell any of that on Craigslist.

Maybe you do not necessarily want cash, but a specific item? Well chances are you can find that item on Craigslist, and you may just be able to trade something you no longer use for it.

Craigslist can be a great place to make extra money quick, and typically easily. You post an ad, answer a few texts, or calls, then meet them in a public place.

Swag Bucks

A fun little corner of the internet is SwagBucks. There are very few legit websites that you can fill out surveys, and it actually pays. Sure this website does not pay a ton of money, but if you do a few things here and there you can gain a few gift cards from Amazon. You can earn points by buying items that you were going to buy on websites anyways, but you go through them. This is a neat way to get extra cash back on your purchases.

So you can also grab coupons to shop at actual stores. You redeem your points once they are used in store. This is really great since you can use the Ibotta, Checkout 51, and Snap Apps to double, or even triple dip. You can really start stacking as many things as you can. This is a great way to get some extra cash for beer.

You can watch videos for swagbucks, play games, search the internet, answer polls, etc. There is almost always something to do on there for SwagBucks. It is nice reap the benefits of your work, as mindless, or easy as it may be.
