1. Make Money Taking Surveys

This includes the Interests Survey and Household survey. When you take the profile surveys, you are letting us know who you are by providing the most basic information for us to send you future surveys and offers. This is the first and most important step. Once you’ve completed the profile survey, you are ready to go.

Navigate over to the “Surveys” tab at the top of the webpage.

There, you’ll find your notification dashboard, which aggregates surveys you might qualify for (based on those answers you gave when you signed up).

Each survey lists the estimated completion time, as well as how much you can earn and the topic at hand.

Many of the offers I’ve seen offer something like 50 cents for a 26-minute survey. Or 25 cents for a 9-minute survey. I saw a couple that offered up to $4.50.

You’ll also earn “spins,” which you can use on the “Billy’s Spin & Win” game. You’ll find your number of spins at the top of the “Surveys” page.

I had somehow accumulated 18, so I spun and won some “sweeps” (more on that later), cents and survey tokens, which banked me an extra 25 cents after I finished my subsequent survey.

Also, if for some reason you’re caught BSing the answers and clicking through these surveys mindlessly, it’ll affect which surveys you qualify for in the future. That’s what InboxDollars says, at least. I’m not sure how it knows.

2. Always take the “Best Survey” first

When you visit our Surveys page, make sure you take the top survey that says “Best Survey” with stars next to it. This indicates that you are likely to qualify for that survey most.

3. Make Money Watching TV and Videos 

Visit our TV page and choose from a variety of channels like the news, entertainment, food, health and more. As you watch TV,  you will accumulate Scratch and Win progress on top of your screen. Once you’ve reached a tier, scratch, match 3 and win that amount.

Watching TV and watching videos are two separate categories on InboxDollars, but they offer essentially the same thing: cents for views.

The TV shows and videos are just segments from random channels you probably haven’t heard of. I watched something about football on “The Fumble.” My co-worker also caught me watching a video about how to make maple-glazed butternut squash. Yum.

For each video, you’ll earn a cent or two. More often than not, a scratch-off card will pop up at the end. This is a fun tool the InboxDollars team is testing out.

You’ll click and hold down your mouse to scratch off the card. If three of the six results match, that’s what you get. I’ve earned anywhere from nada to 5 cents. There’s also a $10 result — but I haven’t scored that yet. I typically win a cent

Each show I’ve watched thus far has been less than 2 minutes, and I found that earning money this way was more mindless (and more fun) than taking the surveys.
