Hey everyone! The FAQ just went over the 40k character limit so I'm breaking it up into two posts so I can fit more content in the future. If you've already read through the FAQ, just skip over this post. There's no new content here right now.
Welcome to part 2 of the FAQ.
This section covers common terms (listed at the bottom) and which sites to use. This includes questions about which sites are available, how to make money quickly, the "best" sites, work under age 18, information about Engageme.tv, and other related questions.
Part one covers questions about beermoney in general. This includes questions about exchanging gift cards, what equipment to use, issues with a site not working or offers not crediting, info on posting a giveaway or tasks, taxes, using VPN/VPS/emulators/etc, and other general questions.
I SEE A NEW SITE HERE. IS IT LEGIT?
For the most part, if a site is on here for more than 24-48 hours, it likely is legit. Known scams get removed pretty quickly. HOWEVER, there are a lot of newer GPT sites popping up due to a gpt reward script, and many of them are scams. If you are worried about being scammed, I highly recommend sticking to the more well known sites in this post and the Common Beermoney Sites list. If you want to try out a new site, make sure to exercise caution. Cash out as early as you can, and wait until you are paid to start earning more. If the user posting about the site isn't the site owner, try to get them to post proof that they've been paid. If they can't prove they've been paid, they are only looking for referrals. I don't recommend signing up on sites when the user can't provide payment proof.
Note: Never use your regular password on a possibly sketchy site. It's best to use different passwords for every site, but if you are someone who uses the same password everywhere, at least make a second one for sketchy sites. For more safety tips, check out this post.
HOW CAN I MAKE $___ IN ___ DAYS?
Chances are, if you're asking that question - it's already too late. Unfortunately, a lot of these sites take a while to credit and pay out, so trying to make a lot of money in a short time frame just doesn't work well. Beermoney is really best for low amounts over a long term. That's not to say there isn't people who earn a lot or in a short time, but most don't - especially beginners.
Some alternatives:
-
Check craigslist for gigs or jobs. Sometimes you can find simple stuff.
-
Ask around if anyone needs some help.
-
Mow grass or shovel snow.
HOW CAN I MAKE A FEW CENTS/A DOLLAR QUICKLY?
Check out /r/signupsforpay or maybe post something on /r/slavelabour
HOW CAN I MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO QUIT MY JOB?
Most people won't make enough money for that here. /r/beermoney is mostly just to make extra cash on the side for your habits/needs. It is possible, but you would be better off looking over at /r/WorkOnline
WHAT'S THE BEST WEBSITE/APP/ETC?
There simply is no "best". This is true for all sites and apps, but it's especially true for passive stuff.
To begin with, what is "best" depends on your own opinion. One person might consider 'highest paying' to be best, another might consider 'most passive' to be best, and yet another might consider the best to be a site that allows the most devices. It's more than just opinion, though. Each one of these sites offers a number of ads for certain areas and some even limit it to specific devices. Even if your opinion of what's best is the same as someone else, your ad availability might be completely different. Because of this, there is no reliable way to recommend what is "best".
What this community can do, however, is to recommend a few sites/apps based on what you know you like. Look at the lists below to get an idea of what is offered. Once you have tried out a few sites and know what exactly it is you're looking for, THEN consider making a post to find it (after you've already searched!). Making a post for "the best passive app" or "best site to do in my free time" is likely to get removed. That information is already in this FAQ; you just have to figure out what "best" is to you. Making a post for "a GPT site with high referral rewards and no daily bonus meter" is more likely to get you answers.
WHAT SITES WORK FOR PEOPLE UNDER 18?
Your options are very limited under the age of 18. To start off with, mTurk is 18+ only. Don't bother signing up, you will not get in, and it'll create problems later. They will know. Just wait it out. A lot of GPT sites require you to be 18, but there are a few that will let you sign up. Despite this, a lot of offers will be limited. Your best bet is to just skip surveys. There's only a handful that ask for teenagers, and surveys on GPT sites are usually a waste of time anyways. Stick to the videos and offers that have you sign up for a newsletter or something like that. You can check out /r/Slavelabour for tasks, but there is a lot of competition there. Here's a few more online ideas. And here's another post. Your best bet for making money right now is to do small tasks offline for locals. Walk some dogs, rake leaves, mow lawns, shovel snow, wash cars, help someone move, babysit, clean houses, etc. There are tons of things around the house that people will pay to have done. If you're having trouble finding stuff, ask your parents. Word of mouth can travel pretty quick.
Right now it's better to focus on learning skills you can use later. A few ideas:
-
Practice typing to increase your typing speed
-
Start writing and post it online for people to critique
-
Learn another language. Spanish and French are common, but Chinese could be useful and a lot of people find Russian or German fun.
-
Learn to program. HTML, JavaScript, and PHP are good for Web Dev. Java or C++ is a good start for software dev. There are plenty of free sites to learn programming, just pick one that has you actually code on your own.
-
Learn to use photoshop, GIMP, or any other drawing and photo manipulation software.
-
Learn to use 3D software or animation software
-
Do arts and crafts and sell them on craigslist or Etsy.
If you're planning to go to college, get a head start on whatever you want to do. Not sure what to do? Pick one from this list and start trying. There's no harm in learning something and later realizing you don't like it. So, just pick one that sounds best or roll a dice, and if you don't like it, try another one.
Thinking about using your parent's name to sign up? DON'T. This is highly illegal, even if they consent to it. At best, you will be banned and have your earnings confiscated. At worst, your parents could be arrested. Just don't do it.

Check out /r/beermoneyglobal and /r/beermoneyuk. Note: These subreddits don't have as much activity as /r/beermoney simply because there aren't as many things available outside of the USA. Just ignore the dates of the posts and take a look at what sites are being mentioned.
Didn't find enough results or what you were looking for? Chances are, that's all there is, especially if there is someone asking the same question in the last 2 months. You're not going to get better results by asking again. There are just more sites for people in the USA than other countries.
HOW DO I START EARNING PASSIVELY WITH MY COMPUTER OR PHONE? / WHAT PHONE SHOULD I BUY?
Here's a beginners guide. It covers getting started, how much you can earn, what to look for, and everything else to get you started earning with a phone.
WHAT ABOUT SITES FOR DATA?
Any app should work just fine on data. It's an app, they're made for phones, so it should be expected that the phone will travel. You may run into issues if you're using a device at home on wifi while traveling with another one, while the phones are both on the same app. But that is the only issue I can foresee happening. We are supposed to be watching them, after all. The websites likely won't have any issues either, but if it does cause a problem you can just shoot support a message and tell them you were using data on your phone.
WHAT IS ENGAGEME.TV? HOW MANY TABS CAN I RUN?
Engageme.tv is both a site and it's on offer walls. You can choose to sign up on their site and link your GPT site account, or you can just run it through the GPT site. There are a couple of benefits to linking your account (mostly convenience), but the main one is being able to use their app.
You can run a maximum of 3 devices on Engageme.tv for the entire household. This limit applies across all of Engageme.tv services, including their app, Stak.tv, etc. It doesn't matter how many accounts or people are in your household, you are limited to 3 devices total across all of them. You are only allowed to run 1 instance per device. That means 1 tab per device, period. You will get banned for running more. Each device must have a unique viewer. That means an actual person looking at the screen.
Here's the list of Do's and Don'ts.
WHAT SITES HAVE _____ GIFT CARD?
The majority of these sites offer Amazon and/or PayPal gift cards. In most cases, it will be easier to redeem for PayPal and just buy what you need. However, if you are looking for Playstation, Playstation Plus, Xbox, Xbox live, Battle.net, or Nintendo eShop cards, I highly recommend redeeming for an Amazon gift card and purchasing the card with the Amazon balance. If you are looking for some other gift card, try checking out Swagbucks or Instagc - they have a variety of options. If they don't have what you're looking for, you're going to have a hard time finding it on another site. In that case, I would recommend redeeming for Amazon gift cards and then selling them and then buying the card you need. You can trade it instead, but it will be a lot harder finding someone willing and able to trade.
WHAT DOES ___ MEAN?
Here are a few of the most common terms:
-
GPT - "Get Paid To" - These are sites that pay you to do a variety of short little tasks such as signing up for a site, watching videos, doing surveys, etc. To be a GPT site, the site must offer multiple ways to earn. If it focuses only on surveys or only on watching videos then it's not a GPT site. These sites generally have multiple offer walls for you to choose between. If a site has an offer wall, it's probably safe to assume that it's a GPT site. Some examples of GPT sites would be Swagbucks, InstaGC, and PrizeRebel.
-
Offer Wall - These are sections that give a user a bunch of various tasks to complete, and they are generally put on multiple sites for users to complete. Peanut Labs, OfferToro, Trialpay, Revenue Universe - these are all examples of offer walls.
-
Micro-task - These are similar to GPT sites but the tasks usually require more skill, and they usually are hosted on the site itself. For example, Clickworker or mTurk would be considered micro-task sites.
-
mTurk - "Amazon Mechanical Turk" - This is a micro-task site run by Amazon. They have a large variety of jobs that you can do work on. Check out /r/mturk if you want more info.
-
Ref link - "Ref" stands for referral. A referral link will look something like www.somewebsite.com/?ref=39adi3rkla. The referral link is used as an incentive for you to advertise and for other people to join. There usually is some sort of reward or perk for sharing or using these links, but there doesn't necessarily need to be something.
-
Non-ref link - This is a link to the site or app that doesn't contain the referral portion of the link. For example, if your referral link is www.somewebsite.com/?ref=39adi3rkla then your non-ref link is www.somewebsite.com. The easiest way to get a non-ref link is to go to the home page of the site and use that link. If your post is about an app, you can use a link to app in the app store instead. For example, here is a non-ref link to perk: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.perk.points.aphone
-
Farm / Phone Farm - These are a collection of phones that are used to run apps that pay us to run them. Check out this beginners guide if you want more info. A person could also have a farm of computers or a mix of computers and laptops, but more commonly people are referring to phones.
-
Cap - This is the maximum amount of points that is possible to make in a time frame, which is determined by the site or advertiser. For example, if a site has a cap of 20 points per day from videos, you are able to earn a maximum of 20 points per day per videos. If you can earn 20 points per day on average because there simply isn't enough ads, offers, time in the day, etc, that is not a cap. The best way to tell if there is a cap is to watch your earnings. If you earn 20 points steadily, or even in spurts, over 24 hours, you're likely not reaching a cap. If you earn 20 points in 12 hours and then earn 0 points for the next 12 hours, then you likely have reached a hard cap (or you may be soft banned).
-
Hard Cap - This is a limit specified by a site or advertiser, and it does not vary or it varies very little. For example, if you can earn 20 points every day and no more, that is a hard cap.
-
Soft Cap - This is similar to a hard cap, but you are able to still earn points at a much lower rate. For example, if you can earn 20 points in 12 hours, and then 5 points over the next 12 hours, you may have a soft cap at 20 points. It's not a hard cap since you can keep earning, but it's still a cap because after the first 20 points you're being limited. Note: If there are fewer ads simply because of a low inventory of ads, that's not a soft cap. Some sites will have more ads to show at certain times of day. If you can earn 20 points from midnight to noon, then 5 points from noon to midnight on one day, then the next day you earn 5 points from midnight to noon and 20 points from noon to midnight, that's not a soft cap. That is simply low ad inventory. A cap will always artificially limit your potential earnings based on a specific time frame.
-
Passive - These are sites/apps that require absolutely no amount of effort to keep running. The only interaction a user should have to make is the initial setup and possibly selecting rewards. PerkTV is NOT a passive app. Lockscreens are NOT passive apps. If you have to interact with it to be rewarded, it is NOT passive.
-
Semi-passive - These are sites/apps that generally don't require a lot of human effort to run, but they do require some attention. For example, Perk Pop Quiz requires a user to open the app and start running it each time. The phone also will require a user to checkup on it so that the app doesn't stop working. If these apps ran perfectly and never stalled, then they could potentially be considered passive apps. Even if you were to get it to run perfectly, you cannot discard the fact that most users cannot. Lockscreens are not semi-passive.
-
Lockscreens - These apps pay you to unlock your phone. They will provide some sort of ad on your screen and you need to swipe to unlock the phone. These apps are neither passive nor semi-passive. You are actively interacting with the app to be paid.
-
Soft Ban - These are bans that are temporary. They may last a few hours, days, weeks, or even months. Usually they are given out by the advertisers, rather than the earning sites. These types of bans are common in passive earning sites, and they are generally a "you're doing something we don't like" alert. If you are experiencing a soft ban, make sure you are following the rules.
-
IP Ban - This is ban on your IP address. These bans are handed out by companies because someone did something on that IP that a site or advertiser really didn't like. If your IP address recently changed and you can't access the sites or earn points like you normally do, there's a good chance your new IP address was banned by someone else. Generally the advertisers are the ones to give out IP bans, but the sites themselves can do it too. You can try contacting the site to reverse the IP ban, but it's usually easier to just change your IP address again.
-
Account Ban - This is a ban from the earning sites themselves. For example, if Swagbucks bans you and you are no longer able to log into Swagbucks, it's an account ban. When people are referring to just "bans" they usually mean an account ban. Make sure to consider the context it's being used in though.
