Who wouldn’t want extra beer money? Especially when last year was so terrible.

The good news is that it’s over, and the even better news is that you can start with a fresh new year if you want to be a little more productive than scroll on your phone mindlessly.

Give these a shot the next time you’re in need of some extra dough.

1. Get $10 to Invest in Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and More

You might think that investing is complicated. Or that you’ll never get a share of these well-known brands like Apple, Facebook, Spotify, etc., but you can. And you don’t have to be rich either.

That’s because Stash, an investment app, lets you start investing with just $5. You can choose where to put your money in and they provide guidance and tools to help you along the way. You can invest in major companies that you use or buy from regularly to make the investing process custom to you. Plus, it’s affordable.

As a bonus, Stash is giving new members $10 for any first investment so create an account to get started.

2. Take Surveys & Play New Games to Earn Extra Cash

Join over 15 million other members already completing surveys, playing games, and shopping from Swagbucks, a free rewards program where you’ll earn cash for your time. With consistent use, members can earn about $50 a day having fun! Plus, they’ve already paid over $600 million in gift cards and PayPal cash to their members.

Taking surveys is the best way to make money on Swagbucks. They can take 10 minutes or more and topics can revolve around food, beverages, household products, cars, and more. The next best way is to play new-to-you games! As you collect Swagbucks Points (SB) from completing tasks, redeem them for gift cards and cash!

New members can get a free $5 just for signing up, so join Swagbucks and start earning free rewards!

3. Get Free Money Back on All Your Shopping Hauls
