Making a "quick $50" is pretty difficult - I guess it depends on how you define "quick". There are loads of paid-to-click sites, which don't offer easy, significant money. Anything that offers a referral program does allow you to make a bit, but that takes a lot of work marketing the scheme - and I'm not sure how easy it is to pick up easy referral business that way. Being in the US, there are probably loads of sites you can use (e.g. MTurk, swagbucks) which a lot of others can't. But ultimately, it's about how much effort you want to put into working some of these sites.
Is Rent A Friend a decent site? When people first posted about it, I was sceptical about it opens up a lot of security issues for both the client and the worker. The company claims that they only get a small fee for the transaction while the worker / rented friend can set up their own wage but are the clients screened? Are the workers? How does a worker ensure that they'll get paid if the client claims they didn't have fun on the outing? How does a client ensure that the worker they're hiring is actually interested in the activity and not just agreeing to get the money? How do both of them know that the other isn't secretly a serial killer? Also they have an FAQ about whether sexual favours are included or not (strictly platonic, the site says) but the fact that the question is in the FAQ in the first place means the question was asked enough time for it to be there. Just seemed really shady to me. I wonder if someone who's worked there before can give an input of their experience.
There are quite a lot of sites that pay you very well for writing articles. But they are not very instant. I do believe that one needs to spend considerable amount of time to get a decent income.
I write some articles and have seen up to $30 in one day, but those days are far between. I have to write the piece and wait for it to sell. I don't think you are going to find any ways to make quick earnings unless you work for clients.
If you want to make quick money online, you need to find a job or project in which the client is willing to pay you very quickly, and it is also dependant on how quickly the site you are working on will fund the money to your account. The truth is you are probably better off watching videos and doing tasks for a fraction of a penny. I do some writing and the pay can be very easy to earn when you have clients.
Surveys always screen you out? LoL. How little you know. If I have the time, I can make $500 a month doing surveys. Of course back in the day when I was a broke man I signed up for upwards of over 1000 survey companies and was doing it 8 hours a day to pay the bills. Now, I don't do a survey unless they pay cash and the payment has to be over $20 and take less than 30 minutes. I rarely ever do a survey anymore unless its a large payment for my opinion. I made $200 from 3 surveys last month. $2900 from my job where I work for an international company out of my home, and a hair over $800 from my developing business. I did all this while managing to raise a couple sick kids and lay in my bed on a regular although minimal basis. Sometimes I forgot to eat. I am loosing hair faster than its growing back
You could try NeoBux. They feature Crowdflower tasks which can sometimes pay quite well. It is sometimes possible to make $10 per day there, although this is by no means guaranteed.
If everyone could make such quick money in an instant, such websites wouldn't be profitable, firstly and foremost. "Easy" and "money" are oxymoronic terms, which should be avoided both offline and online. No matter what you do, nobody will pay you easily unless of course you're a politician, haha. So, what you have there is a definite utopia: Exceptional opportunity of easily making money which is also paid seconds upon requesting it. Wow, wouldn't that be amazing?
Unfortunately I have to agree with the majority of people on here. I don't think it's possible to earn easy money, if that's what you want to call it. Look at it the other way round, would you pay somebody $10 instantly for practically doing nothing? Course you wouldn't, you'd want to see what that person could do, if he was any good at what he did etc
I've never encountered such kind of website too. Maybe if you work on all the legit websites you know in one day, you could probably earn $50 or more but it would take a lot of work and of course the payment won't be released in an instant. I've learned a lot from this thread though. Thank you for sharing your ideas guys!
