When focused on this side hustle, Mike typically made anywhere from $150-300/week and has earned over $50,000 in total working on tasks right from his computer at home.

Having worked on Amazon Mechanical Turk for 2 and a half years (completely as a side hustle), he’s done over 150,000 tasks (called HITs, or Human Intelligence Tasks).

Field Agent App Review: Make $10-20/hr Mystery Shopping and Trying Products

This is my review of the popular Field Agent app.

I’ve heard about the app on various lists of side hustle ideas for years, and was excited to finally put it to the test.

The tl;dr version of what I found is that the app is legit (they do really pay), it’s easy to use, and is actually pretty fun. But don’t expect this to replace your day job!

But does MakeMoneyOnline really outshine its competitors, or are they all talk?

swagbucks review

Swagbucks Review: Earn $20-100+ Per Month Completing Simple Tasks

Swagbucks is one of the most popular side hustle apps, but does it really work?

jumptask review

Is JumpTask Legit? Can You Really Earn $100+/mo in Free Crypto?

JumpTask is a money making app that lets you earn money online in a variety of different ways.

We’ve seen that before.

What’s different about JumpTask, though, is that you get paid in digital tokens, so it’s also a way to get your feet wet with cryptocurrency.

According to the website, users can make up to $100 a month or more, but is that realistic?
