Making Money
(Because you most likely won’t become rich by taking surveys, I do not recommend putting off other activities in order to spend hours and hours on them. I believe surveys are more intended for when you have downtime (e.g. sitting in front of the TV, your bus ride to work, at the hair salon, etc.) If you have a few extra minutes, why not use it to make a couple of dollars?!)
Survey Junkie
Unlike some other sites, Survey Junkie is strictly surveys. You earn points by taking surveys and also earn a bunch of bonus points right away as you complete your profile. Points can be redeemed in a Paypal deposit or electronic gift cards.Survey Junkie has lots of great surveys and I qualify for a decent amount of them. You can check them out here.
MyPoints
MyPoints is one of my favorite ways to earn free gift cards. Although similar to other platforms, I love the ease of MyPoints. You often get points just by clicking on emails! You also get points by redeeming offers, taking surveys, watching videos, using coupons, using their specific search bar tool, just to name a few! You can check them out here.
InboxDollars
InboxDollars is another platform I love. It is very similar to MyPoints with the activities in which you can earn: surveys, clicking on emails, redeeming offers, watching videos, using coupons, using their search toolbar, etc. Unlike MyPoints, however, you can actually earn cash and have checks mailed to you when you reach $30! You can check them out here.
Swagbucks
If you’re noticing a theme you are correct – there are so many similar ways to earn cash online. Similar to some of the others previously mentioned, you can earn points with Swagbucks by shopping online, watching entertaining videos, searching the web, answering surveys, and finding great deals. They can be redeemed for cash into your Paypal account or gift cards. You can check them out here.
Saving Money
Dollar Shave Club
Dollar Shave Club has been one of my favorite ways to save money on a necessary product over the last few years. For only $3 a month ($1 for the razors and $2 for shipping, I am sent enough razors every month to last me the entire month. They are meant for guys, but they work just as great for women! You can check them out here.
For Blogging
Siteground (Hosting)
Siteground is a very popular hosting platform used by many bloggers. I recently switched over from a previous host to SiteGround and couldn’t be happier! The switch was quick and easy and their customer service is outstanding. Plans start at just $3.95 per month. You can check them out here.

Tailwind is the only posting scheduler approved by Pinterest and is very popular among bloggers. You can check it out here.

For Moms
Milkology (online course)
This is a very informative course all about breastfeeding. The creator helps you understand why breastfeeding is important, how to help get babies to latch, how to produce milk, and so much more! If you are an expectant mother for the first time and are feeling overwhelmed about everything you need to do to prepare, this course will take one more thing off your shoulders.
