HealthyWage Review: Get Paid Up to $10,000 to Lose Weight

Have you ever tried to get healthier and lose weight, but lost motivation before reaching your goals?

Perhaps you’ve gone as far as buying a gym membership or expensive exercise equipment only for them go unused after your initial commitment.

But what if you could lose weight and make money doing it? Would that be enough motivation to stick with your exercise and diet regimen?

kashkick homepage

KashKick Review: A Legit Way to Get Paid to Play Games and Redeem Offers?

Is KashKick legit? 

“Get paid to have fun,” the ads claim. But does the platform deliver?

Here’s what we found: Yes, you can make money with KashKick, but not all their earning options are created equal.

prolific review

Prolific Review: How to Make an Easy $200 a Month Participating in Research Studies

Prolific.co is an online research platform that pays you for your opinion and feedback.

It’s a legit and easy way to make money online that pays much better than “micro task” sites like Clickworker and Mechanical Turk.

In fact, one Side Hustle Nation reader reported earning £300 in a couple of months of part-time effort on Prolific.

focus group

FocusGroup.com Review: I Made $216 in Under 2 Hours

I recently earned my first $116.33 sharing my opinion on FocusGroup.com. Since people are always asking me about easy side hustles, I put together this FocusGroup.com review to share how it all works!

respondent paid research studies

Respondent.io Review: Can You Really Make $100 An Hour For Your Opinion?

Unlike most online survey companies, Respondent actually pays “real” money for participating in studies.

This isn’t about watching silly videos or completing offers for pennies. What do I mean by real? It’s possible to earn $100 an hour or more.

tapestri app

Tapestri App Review: Don’t Waste Your Time

Tapestri promises to pay you in cash for information you’re already giving away.

But does the app deliver?

Your mileage my vary, but my data didn’t turn out to be worth much at all.

User Interviews Review [2023]: $100 an Hour for Your Opinion? Yes Please!

My latest side hustle experiment is as a User Interviews survey respondent.

Inside the Sharetown Mattress Return Pickup and Resale Side Hustle

For the past couple years, I’ve seen a few people talking about their side hustle picking up “bed in a box” mattresses. They say it’s something you can do part time and the pay is great.

After that, though, the details become more and more scarce.

How does it all work? Where does the money come from? What’s the catch?

cashwalk app review

Cashwalk App Review: Get $50 for Tracking Your Steps

Cashwalk is my latest money-making app find. It pays you for tracking your steps, and I earned my first $5 Amazon gift card in about 3 weeks. But the process isn’t completely passive, which might make it not worth your while.

fundrise review

Fundrise Review: My $100,000 Commercial Real Estate Side Hustle

In 2015, I started building what I call “my cash flow portfolio.” This is a specific set of investments designed first and foremost to generate interest and dividends.

My thinking was: how can I get paid over and over again from work I do once?

And by investing for cash flow, I could turn every “extra” $1,000 I earned into $20-80 a year in truly passive income … forever.

caden app

Caden App Review: Earn $150 From Your Data?

Is the Caden app worth an install?

The app promises to pay you for the data you generate on a daily basis. You know, the stuff we give to Big Tech for free!

And Caden really does pay — it took a couple months to earn my first $40 payout.
