- Hey, Angie Nelson here from theworkathomewife.com.

Today, we're going to be talking about something

that's kind of crept up on me,

and that is back to school.

The summer kind of slipped away,

and I didn't realize until last week

that school starts in just a couple of weeks here.

And for many of you that have kind

of taken the summer off to be at home

with your kids, or maybe you've just really cut back

on your hours in order to enjoy some extra time outside,

you may be wondering, how am I going

to pay for my back to school shopping supplies?

And that is something we are going

to be talking about today, is some great ideas

that are going to allow you to get into some cash fast.

And a lot of the opportunities we

are talking about today are going

to be, they pay weekly, if not on-demand.

There's going to be a few here

that you'll be able to cash out your earnings any

time you want to with just the click of a button.

But the main objective for me when I was trying

to source these ideas were things

that you could get started with quickly,

and also get paid quickly.

It's not going to do a lot of good

to start something now if you really aren't going

to get paid until 30 or 60 days down the road.

So everything we're talking about today is going

to pay pretty fast, and hopefully have

an easy onboarding process as well.

Make sure you stay till the end

of the video to find out how you can learn more

about these great ideas, along with some more.

Now the first one we're going to be talking

about today is Cambly.

Now, Cambly hires at-home agents

to help teach English online to students around the world.

You don't need to have a teaching degree

or a teaching certificate for this one.

And this site does pay by the minute that you're working.

So they pay 17 cents per minute,

and that works out to about $10.20

for each full hour that you

are chatting with students online.

Now I realize that that may not

be the best pay for many of you out there,

but this one does offer a really flexible schedule.

You can just log in to work any time

that you have available.

Now many of you out there are probably

familiar with mystery shopping.

Now, if you've done any kind of mystery shopping

in the past, you know that usually

it takes about 30 to 60 days after you complete

a shop in order to get paid.

There are some new apps that are available out there

that are really sort of similar to mystery shopping,

but they do allow you to get paid a lot quicker.

And the first one we're going to be talking

about is Field Agent.

Now this one, as soon as you load the app

on your phone and set up an account,

you'll be able to see if there are any shops

that are in your area.

And these jobs usually pay between one

and $12 depending on the complexity

and the amount of time that's involved.

Usually with these kind of app-based mystery shopping jobs,

what you're doing are checking

on things like prices, or taking

a photo of a display or product

in a local store, so these are kind

of things that you can combine

with your normal everyday activities.

Maybe if you're going grocery shopping anyway

you can see if there are any that

are available at your local grocery store

that you normally shop at.

So these are things that you'll want

to combine with things that you're already doing,

they may not be worth doing if it's something

that you're going out of your way for.

But if you're stopping at that store anyway,

why not make a couple of bucks while you're there?

Now a field agent, you're going

to be paid, the funds will be deposited

into your account as soon as the job is approved.

That can take a couple of days, but it's usually pretty

fast, and once those funds hit your field agent

account, you can go ahead and cash out

by DVLA or direct deposit.

Now, Gigwalk is another one that's really similar

to Field Agent, I believe they're saying

at this time that the available gigs

that they have pay between $3 up to $200,

depending on the complexity of the time involved.

And then once a job is finished

and approved, the payment is sent straight

to your PayPal account.

Now while we're talking about apps,

my list wouldn't be complete without Ibotta.

Ibotta is one of my favorite apps,

and for this one, what you're doing

is earning cash back on things like grocery purchases.

They also offer some rebates on online shopping

or shopping within the mobile app these days.

And with this one, you're going to find what offers

are available, and when you get done

with your purchase, if you're going

to your grocery store for example,

when you get home, you'll just scan a photo

of the receipt, and maybe the barcode

on a purchase if that's required, in some cases it's not.

And then the funds from your rebate

are going to be deposited into your account.

That's usually credited within a few hours,

and once your account hits $20,

you can go ahead and request payout by PayPal,

and that's usually pretty instantaneous these days.

You can also op for a gift card

if you would prefer a gift card

as opposed to PayPal payment.

At Ibotta, they do have a really

nice referral program as well.

So if you refer your friends to the app

and they become users, you'll get a nice bonus

for that as well.

Now Lyft is another great app

that's going to allow you to make some money rather quickly.

And it's also one that doesn't require

any kind of a minimum commitment.

So once you're signed up as a driver,

you can just pick up your work as you're available.

It's a nice one to keep in your back pocket

in case an emergency comes up and you need

to get into some money quickly.

You'll always have this one available.

Now, like I said, you just log in

and work when you feel like it or when you need

the cash, these opportunities can pay a lot more

than some of the small tasks that we're going to

be talking about today.

Lyft usually keeps you pretty up to date

on their website as far as what they project

your earnings could be, so that's something

that you'll want to check out.

Obviously it's going to vary by location.

If you live in a more metropolitan area

where a lot more people are using Lyft,

you could make a little bit more.

And there are also going to be some peak hours

throughout the week in which those could help you earn

some more money than, say, working

on a Tuesday afternoon.

If you're working Friday night, Saturday, Sunday,

those are usually some of the more peak hours.

And oftentimes, during peak hours,

Lyft will offer some bonuses, sometimes

they do have a guaranteed minimum.

So those are things that you're going to want

to keep an eye open for.

Now normally, Lyft pays out every Tuesday

for earnings from the previous week.

However, you can get same-day payments now

with their new Express Pay option.

And you're going to kep any tips that your writers

do leave you when you're driving for Lyft.

Now Amazon Mechanical Turk or MTurk

as it's frequently called in work-at-home world,

is one that I've talked about in previous videos.

This is what we call a small task site,

or a micro job site.

And what MTurk does is allow you

to log in whenever you want to and pick up

any of what they call hits when you have time.

These hits can range from things like data entry

to categorizing videos, maybe taking

some surveys or transcribing a short little file.

These are really small jobs that can be done

within just a couple of minutes usually.

Now because these are really small jobs

and as you may have figured out

from the things that I just mentioned,

they're going to be entry level as well,

there's not a lot of training or onboarding involved,

so it's really entry-level work.

And because of that, it's going

to be on the lower end of the pay scale.

However, as I mentioned, these are jobs

that you can log in and do whenever you want

without any type of commitment.

And there are things that you can do

when you don't really feel like doing

any other kind of work.

Maybe you're watching some primetime television shows

and a commercial comes on, you can log

in and do a couple of hits.

It's really that laid back and simple.

And with, and with Amazon's MTurk,

there is a 10-day waiting period

for new people that are coming on to,

if you just signed up for an account,

you are going to have a 10-day wait period

before you can cash out your earnings,

but after that, you can cash out every day if you wish.

Now I mentioned transcription a little bit

with MTurk, there are a couple of more,

they're still small job sites, from my viewpoint,

but they do focus solely on transcription.

And that is Rev.com and TranscribeMe.com.

Both of these sites are open to beginners,

so if you don't have any transcription experience,

you don't need to worry.

As long as you can pass their transcription test,

you should be good to go.

And once you are accepted, you just start picking up

work as soon as you finish their short training period.

With Rev.com, they said their training manual takes

about 30 minutes to complete.

After that, you're ready to get to work.

Now like most transcription jobs,

the pay at these two places is going to be production-paced.

That means the faster and more accurate

that you can type, the more you're going to get paid.

For most newcomers, they expect you to be able

to turn around an audio file

in four to six times the length.

So keep that in mind when you're looking

at the rates on this site just because

it may say $20 per audio hour, that doesn't mean

you're going to get paid $20 per hour.

You'll get paid $20 regardless of how long

it takes you, that takes you to transcribe

that hour-long audio file.

So just keep that in mind.

A lot of these sites, they do say

that their fastest typists are earning

around eight to $15 per hour.

So just keep that in mind.

The pay here is going to be, I believe it's weekly

for both of these.

And they do pay by PayPal.

TranscribeMe does have a $20 minimum for pay out there,

but I believe that Rev.com will pay you

as long as there are any funds

in your account each week.

Now since we're talking about shopping

and saving up some funds for that,

one site that I do like to always keep

in my back pocket is Swagbucks.

I've been a member at this site for a long, long time.

And they will allow you to earn

for the light earn Swagbucks, or SB is what they call

it, for doing a large number of little small tasks.

You can earn for watching videos.

You can earn for shopping online,

completing surveys, playing games,

redeeming special offers, redeeming your friend,

or excuse me, referring your friends and more.

A lot of people that use this site a lot,

they report that they can earn

an average of 20 to 40 SB per day,

that's around 10,000 per year, and that's

about $100 per year.

And you can cash that our for PayPal

or a gift card at one of their partner stores.

And you only have to do it a few minutes

a day to rack that up.

So that's a good one to kind of keep going

throughout the year, let those earnings add up.

And then cash it out when this back

to school season comes around, or maybe

when it's time to do your holiday shopping,

allow this to take some of that burden

off of you and cash it in for some gift cards

and use those funds for some of that shopping.

Now those are just a few of my ideas

in order to make some fast cash for back-to-school money.

You'll also want to consider some

of the other we talked about in videos frequently,

like reselling some of the things

that are in your closet that you no longer use,

like some books or CDs, or old electronics

that you have lying around, those are also some great

ways to get into some money quickly.

Even if you don't need these gigs now,

I would recommend putting them into place

so that you do have them when the emergency

does come up and you some money fast.

You don't want to have to be thinking

about the ongoing process for all of these things

or waiting for an invite.

Go ahead and get them in place now, you'll thank me later.
