DISCLAIMER
Some people have objected to this monthly post for various reasons. So Im starting with this disclaimer. I do this full time. Its technically not beermoney for me. So this is NOT typical of most people. But it does show each month what programs are paying and whats working. And it also shows that those that are unemployed, disabled or have other special circumstances, who may come across this subreddit, that extra money can be made with some time and effort.
March was your normal average month........... NO IT WASNT! Its a new fricken personal record. It was a fun month with Mturk popping, some new things added, some programs cashed out after a long time and a couple of one off things
The Inspired Opinions thing was a in home recorded study about internet privacy. So that was a this month only thing. I added Ebay sales to my arsenal this month in partnership with u/mk_atl and thats been lucrative for me so far. That number is NET after all ebay fees and shipping costs
Lets talk about the 2 big new comers to my list. Crowdtap and GG2U. Ive been a member of Crowdtap for over 2 years. Never used it. Then /u/fjleon started talking about it. OMG Ive missed out on money. Crowdtap is a site with micro surveys.. 1-8 questions. And they pop up all through the day. /u/fjleon created a script to give desktop notifications for when new tasks pop up. He charges $1 for it, but for me, it literally paid for itself the first day. I advise using both the site and the script
The other site is GG2U. There have been 2 GPTs that have been launched recently offering really high rates. I have told both right out that I have reservations about those high rates and the long term viability of them. But GG2U proved to be awesome for me when the NCAA offers were going on (now over unfortunately), on 2 offerwalls. GG2U is active in discord and so far doing everything right. I dont expect them to be as high next month simply because my GPT stuff takes a back seat to Mturk and such, But the high offerwall values and NCAA promotions put them in my top 5 this month
Last month I talked about a whole bunch of plans starting this month. Live streaming a Q&A about this post, an updated Mturk 101, info about the upcoming website. Well everything I said last month... ADD ONE MONTH to it. Pushing the timeline back by 30 days because this month was just too damn good.
So goals by next month at this time.
1. New Mturk 101
2. Live stream Q&A
3. Possible Podcast start
4. More work done on website
Anyway thats it for now. Lots going on that im excited about. I hope everyone has a great April!

Thats my list for March. Who paid you for/in last month?
FAQ
I'm in need of extra money. Should I persue doing some of this?
Yes and no. There is obviously money to be made. But there are drawbacks. Mturk (there are alternatives but not usually as lucrative) may not accept you (wont accept if outside US), Earnings may be low on programs like EH and other stuff can be a grind. Mobile based earnings means needing devices and takes money and time. Passive earning is starting to show huge signs of decline. I dont want anyone to believe they can sit down tomorrow and be making $1000 next month.
I live outside the USA. How can I earn?
Unfortunately most of the stuff I do is either USA only or US/UK/CA/AU. So its hard for me to advise whats available to people outside of those areas. If you live outside those 4 countries I really dont have advice for you. And I dont have much advice for even outside the USA.
How Much Time do you spend with this?
Its Hard to quantify. I am in front of a computer ALOT but its not always focused on making money. I have games I play and have scripts that watch for HITs ON Mturk so if something pops thats good I switch over. Plus Im often doing multiple things at once. That said.. there are people who make more then me with less time. Im actually very inefficient.
Will you give me advice or help me get started?
Yes but only if you approach it with the mindset that its slow and a grind at times and not get rich quick or at all.
How do you make so much on Mturk. Can you give me any hints?
I have a Mturk 101 typed up I can send with some tips and tricks.
Why dont you get a real job?
Health issues.. and I can nap at 1PM.. and I dont have a boss looking over my shoulder... and I can work naked (I dont.. or do I....)
You must have a ton of referrals to make that much!
All the totals above represent only personal earnings. I seperate out ref earnings.
OMG! You must cheat somehow to make so much!
I do nothing outside the TOS of any of the programs. I consider this income to be a blessing and wouldnt do anything to jeopardize that. Plus cheating just kills programs and defrauds the companies that are allowing me to make this income.
Do you have to pay taxes on all of this
Yes on most of it. There are some exceptions but the majority of this income is taxable. Most of these companies dont issue 1099s but that doesnt mean you dont have to pay taxes. Please consult a tax professional if you have questions on how to handle taxes on "beermoney" income
