Today I am particiapting in yet another blog carnival over at Money Saving Mom! This one is about a few easy things that anyone can do to make a little bit of extra cash at home. Today I am posting about CashCrate, which I first heard about myself from someone else’s Money Making Monday entry a few weeks back. CashCrate is a site where you can earn money from completing surveys and signing up for programs like Upromise and Ebay. It’s basically just a way for advertisers to reach you, but you can get paid just for looking at what they have to offer – you don’t have to spend a dime! What I like best about CashCrate is that they have a low pay-out limit – you only have to earn $10 before you get paid! My first month I easily made more than that, and I should be getting a check for $14.35 from them around January 20th (I will let you know when I do!). I did very little work to earn this money so I am pretty excited about it! $14.35 will go a looooong way at CVS! So, if you have a computer at home and a few extra minutes a month, I encourage you to give CashCrate a whirl!

Love the money-makin idea! Do you end up getting a lot of SPAM from this, though?
Good point, Kathy! I use a yahoo account that I set up just for the purpose of CashCratin’. I would suggest setting up a free yahoo, hotmail, or gmail account if you sign up. Still use your regular email for CashCrate official communications but use the alternate one when you complete offers.
I’ve noticed another good site for savings money online is http://www.savingswatch.com. They send you a quarterly check for all your online purchases through their site.
