If you needed extra money, like, yesterday, you’ve come to the right spot.

Our team has compiled a list of creative ways you can fatten your bank account this month. Certainly, there’s something here that fits your needs.

Without further delay, here are four ways to pocket some extra cash:

1. Earn as Much as $1K/Month Doing Simple Online Tasks

Is there such a thing as easy money? If you know your way around the web, there certainly is.

That’s because data is currency these days, and many companies are willing to pay cash for it — up to $1,000 per month.

Finding these companies can be time-consuming on your own. But a company called Freecash has compiled all sorts of quick cash tasks from about a dozen advertisers and market research companies thirsty for more data. Freecash has paid out over $13 million to users since 2019.

You can pick and choose your tasks and complete them at your convenience. The coins you earn from each completed task can be converted into things like Visa gift cards, Amazon gift cards, cryptocurrency or cold-hard PayPal cash.

Signing up for a Freecash account is easy and there’s no minimum amount you need to earn before you can cash out. And if you’ve got enough free time on your hands, you can join the ranks of Freecash users making more than $1,000 a month in extra cash.

Sign up here to see how much you could earn.

2. Get Paid up to $225 to Watch Movie Previews

If we told you that you could get paid to watch videos on your computer, you’d probably laugh.

It’s too good to be true, right?

But we’re serious. A website called InboxDollars will pay you to watch short video clips online. One minute you might watch someone bake brownies and the next you might get the latest updates on Kardashian drama.

All you have to do is choose which videos you want to watch and answer a few quick questions about them afterward.

No, InboxDollars won’t replace your full-time job, but it’s something easy you can do while you’re already on the couch tonight wasting time on your phone.

Unlike other sites, InboxDollars pays you in cash — no points or gift cards. It’s already paid its users more than $56 million.

It takes about one minute to sign up, and you’ll immediately get a $5 bonus to get you started.

3. Ask This Company to Get a Big Chunk of Your Debt Forgiven

Trying to stay on top of your debt can be overwhelming. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone could just… get you out of debt?

A company called National Debt Relief could convince your lenders to simply get rid of a big chunk of what you owe. No bankruptcy, no loans — you don’t even need to have good credit.

If you owe at least $10,000 in unsecured debt (credit card debt, personal loans, medical bills, etc.), National Debt Relief’s experts will build you a monthly payment plan. As your payments add up, they negotiate with your creditors to reduce the amount you owe. You then pay off the rest in a lump sum.

On average, you could become debt-free within 24 to 48 months.

National Debt Relief has already helped more than 500,000 people pay off over $5 billion in debt.

It takes less than a minute to sign up and see how much debt you could get rid of.

4. Cancel Your Car Insurance

Here’s the thing: your current car insurance company is probably overcharging you. But don’t waste your time hopping around to different insurance companies looking for a better deal.

Use a website called EverQuote to see all your options at once.

EverQuote is the largest online marketplace for insurance in the US, so you’ll get the top options from more than 175 different carriers handed right to you.

Take a couple of minutes to answer some questions about yourself and your driving record. With this information, EverQuote will be able to give you the top recommendations for car insurance. In just a few minutes, you could save up to $610 a year.

5. Earn $500/Month by Reviewing Games and Products You Love

This is the new normal. Everything just costs more now, so that means we have to find ways to earn more.

But there’s a way you can mix work with play and earn an extra $500 a month while doing it.

All you need to do is register on a website called Kashkick with your phone or computer. Kashkick will then show you all sorts of money-making tasks you can do to pad your bank account.

You’ll earn various dollar amounts for answering survey questions, playing games, watching videos and reviewing things — you pick which opportunities you want.

You can get your money quickly and securely, and you don’t need to earn a lot before you can collect it. You can cash out via PayPal with as little as $10 in earnings.

Ready to give yourself a raise? Sign up for Kashkick and start earning money whenever you have a little free time.

6. Get Up to $100,000 From This Company

Need a little extra cash to pay off credit card debt, remodel your house or to buy a big purchase?

We found a company willing to help.

Here’s how it works: If your credit score is at least 620, AmOne can help you borrow up to $100,000 (no collateral needed) with fixed rates starting at 6.40% and terms from 6 to 144 months.

AmOne won’t make you stand in line or call a bank. And if you’re worried you won’t qualify, it’s free to check online. It takes just two minutes, and it could save you thousands of dollars.

Totally worth it.

7. Let This App Spot You Up to $250 (with No Interest)

Even small financial missteps can come with painful consequences. Anybody who’s ever had an overdraft fee can tell you that.

That’s why we like a money app called Cleo — it can spot you up to $250 to avoid overdraft fees.* No interest, no credit check and no direct deposit required.

Cleo is a cheeky chatbot that’s also programmed to help track your spending and crush your bad money habits before they get serious. Cleo can round up your purchases to the nearest dollar and save the difference, or to “fine” you for overspending at Target. Whatever saving technique you choose, she’ll automatically transfer that money into your savings account each week. Just sit back and watch your savings grow.

Cleo has more than 4 million users and has 4.6 out of five stars with over 80 thousand reviews in the app store. Signing up only takes two minutes.

Get the app and let it spot you up to $250* when you need it, so you never have to pay an overdraft fee again.

*Eligibility requirements apply

8. Access Up to $750 of Your Paycheck Before Payday

You’re putting in the hours at your job, but waiting to get paid every two weeks means you can’t pay the bills until your paycheck hits. It’s infuriating.

Wouldn’t it be easier if you could get paid as soon as you earned your money? You’d have the financial flexibility to pay bills on time, have gas money for work, and even build an emergency fund.

You can! With an app called EarnIn, you can get early access to your pay. You don’t pay interest and there aren’t any mandatory fees — you can access up to $750 per pay period*.

To get started, simply link your bank account to verify you're employed with a consistent paycheck, and then you’re good to go. You can transfer up to $100 a day (or up to $750 per pay period) to your linked bank account. When your payday comes, whatever you transferred from EarnIn is automatically repaid, plus optional tips and fees. You won’t be charged any interest, and there are no mandatory fees**.

Over $15 billion in earned wages have been accessed through EarnIn, helping countless hard-working people bridge the gap between pay periods without resorting to debt.

End the paycheck-to-paycheck grind. Download the EarnIn app today and access your hard-earned money when you need it the most.
