Test Websites
Website owners need help spotting the flaws in their site navigation, and they're willing to pay for it. Become a tester for usertesting.com, and you'll earn $10 for each site that you agree to test, $15 for each mobile app. Each review requires a brief 20-minute video of you navigating the site and a short questionnaire.
Complete Simple Tasks for Businesses
Use small chunks of free time to knock out a quick assignment for a business. Amazon Mechanical Turk has a list of one-time jobs – research projects, product reviews, transcriptions, etc. – that pay immediately upon acceptance of your work.
Have Your Car Wrapped
Do you spend a lot of time on the road? Then, consider turning your car into a rolling billboard. Many companies – big and small – will pay to wrap your car in their advertisements.

Bank for Profit
Many banks – on and offline – offer cash incentives for opening a new account (anywhere from $25 to over $100). Take advantage of these offers, and turn banking into a more lucrative experience.
