Day 322: Find Ways to Earn Extra Cash

Today's Positivity activity:  Look into some simple (and legitimate) ways to make a few extra dollars to tuck away this year.

Do This Instead of: not.

I mentioned on Monday that I would be doing one more money-related challenge this week to help kick off the new year, and here it is. I will be exploring some ways to earn a few bucks to tuck away throughout the year. I'm not talking about get-rich-quick scams, but legitimate sources of small side income. Even a few dollars here and there will give a boost. So it's off to the net I go in search of real ways to add some pennies to the annual fund.

The Results: Got signed up for some apps that earn you credits toward gift cards and such. One is the Nielson app, plus Mobile Insider and a couple others. Also doing Bing search, each search earns points toward gift cards, etc. And I set some goals for other small earning tasks I can do as a writer.
