So plenty of people have asked me how do I pay to keep up with all 7 of my pets. And I simply tell them that I do nothing. So I am currently making $300+ a month doing nothing and I've managed to save up an emergency fund along with upgrade housings and feed my 5 dogs, bird and rabbit. So it isn't exactly nothing. It involves me running a computer and laptop running 24/7. Along with 2 cheap prepaid Android phones I bought from Best Buy for $10 a piece. I leave the computer and laptop opened to two websites one called EarnHoney and the other called InstaGC. As per the phones I leave them running on this app called CheckPoints. I also take part in a slightly less passive site/app called SwagBucks. Electricity for all of these devices is about $10 a month so it pays for itself. Below will be my rankings for profitability and what the cash outs are like.

1) EarnHoney - Referral Link = www.earnhoney.com/home/?referrer=11E792B170

So I leave this open on both my computer and laptop all day everyday. The trick for this one is to go to BuzzTV and run MatchedCars and TVGlee. You need to keep the window in focused with one of the tabs focused as well. I am bringing home $5 a day, which is the minimum cash out and you can receive it in the form of an Amazon giftcard, cash sent to your Paypal account, or a charitable donation.

2) InstaGC - Referral Link = https://www.instagc.com/1420443

Here's one that I'm just starting and it looks like I'm bring at least $1.50 a day doing this. They pay you to watch videos. You can get paid in the form of various gift cards or cash. The one catch is that you need to redeem $50 in gift cards before getting cash. The pay outs can be as low as a dollar as well. I leave this running on my computer all day as well and it can only be ran on one device at a time.

3) SwagBucks - Referral Link = Swagbucks - Free Gift Cards for Paid Surveys and More

Swagbucks has several ways to make money or even get money back while shopping. I do something new each and everyday for Swagbucks but I can make at least a dollar a day passively sometimes even more. To earn passively you need to install a couple of apps on your phone and run videos on the phone. The apps are called SBTV SportlyTV LifeStylezTV and EntertainNow. Just set it up to watch the short clips and check back later. There is a 10 cent earning per app per day. However this is before the guaranteed bonus rounds. Payouts vary with this one. $5 for giftcards which always seem to end up on sale or $25 for Paypal.

4) CheckPoints - Download Link = https://www.checkpoints.com/ Referral Code = jiannotto9492

This gets ran on the two cheap phones I bought from Best Buy. This works similar to the SwagBucks apps but it is only one app. This app only pays to cash out in the form of Amazon gift cards as you need to pay a premium price to cash out through Paypal. But once again just let it sit and run. I make about $2 a day doing this. This could of course be even more as the app crashes from time to time. But when you work 10 hours a day and can't watch it all the time $2 will have to do. You could always install teamviewer onto these phones and restart the apps remotely but I do not have the time for that and I'm content with the payout.

Interesting way of money for nothing. Some marketing consultant is presenting quarterly numbers to investors knowing the numbers are trash. Thanks for the heads up. Yet another thing I will steer clear of investing in.

Oh everyone does that. There's a reason why the company I work for just got bought out for 1 billion dollars. Everyone tries to cook their books to fluff up their numbers to make them look more profitable than they actually are.

Interesting if youre into this kind of stuff. Bitmining is a lot better but to make money most people use ways that arent legal. But, you could make at least $5 in 10 minutes asking for change outside a grocery store too though if you really wanted/needed to. I guess its a decent way to make some extra bucks on the side doing nothing though.

I've done bitmining but to be honest it is no longer profitable. You gotta go after alt coins now. I have the hardware lying around that I can run these sites around the clock and pay for the food for my pets and save a good penny for the vet bills. I mainly started this so than I didn't have to dip into my retirement funds in the event of an emergency.

Yeah I think its pretty washed out besides the people who have massive botnets who mine on thousands of computers. Didnt know about the altcoins though Ill have to check that out. And of course, money is money. If you have a way to eliminate expenses then theres no reason not to.

Exactly, in my opinion this is more cost effective than mining. Uses less electricity and less wear and tear on the systems. Add in the fact that unless your mining the latest crypto-currency you won't see profit on a GPU for at least a year.

And, the two of you have just summed up why our Kids and Grandkids happily upgrade our electronics when they visit! I can still wander around fairly good, but!

So, do I wait for the dual quad processors or just max out the DRAM on a dual processor?
