No matter how hard you work, your parents won't give you money?
I know the pain. I was at one point the only child in the family without a job. The last time I got something for free, I got Battlefield: Hardline at release for doing the high school swim team end of year banquet slideshow and brochure after Mom volunteered me to do it.
The only reason why she did it was because I started crying and continued in my room for 30 minutes. My siblings were teasing me. I was 19 and the last time I had a job was when I was 17 (and that was through a Goodwill program).
The whole purpose of telling this story? I don't want you to cry and think money is out of your reach. Sure, you are not going to get a fortune through all of the sites I put down here. What you get in a year may be what you could earn in 2 days of a regular job (even considering part time hours).
Now then, what do you need?
A Paypal account (if you want money in your bank account)
A computer with Google Chrome
A tablet (Preferably Android)
A smartphone (Preferably Android)
iPhones and iPads are OK if you have them, but they are severely limited in apps. If you have an Android, I promise you are getting a better experience.
One last warning for all of you! "Many people" will only bother to mention the websites with a referral bonus because "many people" are greedy. I am mentioning the websites that I use myself and that are not scams. I have included referral links to most of the mentioned websites. These will pay both of us a bonus. All I ask is for you to use the links I supply, since I spent some valued time writing this up, and it would show me that somebody appreciates the time I spent on this list! (If a friend asked you to sign up to one of these sites with their link, I don't mind you using that link.)
Now let's start the list!!
Time-Consuming sites
Gifthulk- If the only option you will settle for is Paypal or Bitcoin, come to Gifthulk. Earn money for guessing cards, watching videos, using their search engine, taking surveys, or signing up for various sites. If you will take a gift card, definitely use Swagbucks.

Swagbucks- Same thing as Gifthulk (once again, no guessing cards). They pay way higher than Gifthulk will. The only disadvantage? If you seek Paypal, the lowest payout tier is $25. Don't worry, for gift cards, this is a great option. Like Perk, they offer a tv app. The only danger is a 10 cent cap for watching videos.
The problem with both of those sites is that they require grunt work. These sites let you fire and forget!
Passive
Microsoft Rewards- You get paid to search with Bing, use Microsoft Edge (which does not have enough earning add-ons to compete with Chrome). This was formerly Bing Rewards, which in my opinion was far preferrable. Despite not being a quick earner, you get paid to use Bing (and it is a good Google alternative, albeit a knockoff). Just default your search engine to Bing, and you should be richer by $5 each month. I get the idea Bing is a Google/Yahoo knockoff, but it is the only search engine that will pay you. (The reason for no link is because they temporarily suspended the referral program, but check on Gifthulk or Swagbucks offer walls. There is almost always an offer to sign up for Microsoft rewards!)
Cross Media Panel- You must have a computer (desktop, laptop, netbook, does not matter) to sign up. You will install an extension onto Google Chrome (Nope, not for Firefox or Microsoft Edge). They pay you $1 for installing the extension onto your computer, $1 for installing to your smartphone (even Windows Phone!), $1 for installing to tablet, leading to a grand total of $3 a week. Considering other sites, this is a very generous amount to be earned. The only complaint I currently have is that you may not be qualified, but keep checking and I think that soon enough you will qualify! Get into here, and you will earn plenty of money!
Qmee- Use whichever search engine you please, and whenever you search for certain things, they will open up a sidebar with advertisements. Click on an advertisement, and get paid some money! One very good reason for signing up is an instant payout to Paypal with no minimum.
Android apps
Mobile Performance Meter- You may or may not get in, but it is 5 cents a day and completely passive (except for a pop-up that reminds you to take a 6-minute survey for 20 cents each month). The huge drawback is this app will drain your battery.
Appoptix- Once again, you may or may not get in. It is $10 Amazon (Only payout option) every 3 months. This also drains your battery, but unlike Mobile Performance Meter, this is completely passive. They even send the rewards to you automatically!
One other recommended program:
Amazon Prime Student- All you need to sign up is a ".edu" email address. As long as you have one, Amazon Prime is $50 a year. You get a 6-month free trial. I know, it does not sound that important, but you get free 2-day shipping on almost every item. Textbooks in 2 days I could not live without. Forgot some laundry pods? Need some chapstick? Just want a game at your doorstep in 2 days? Look no further! FREE 2-DAY SHIPPING WITH NO MINIMUM PURCHASE (Non-Prime members only get free shipping for purchases above $35, and even that is not 2 days)!! Combined with Amazon's good prices, this is a really good deal (and don't forget you earn free Amazon gift cards with these sites)! Another major perk After your free trial, you also get Prime Video, a Netflix alternative (but stick with Netflix or Hulu please). 20% off new video games (within 2 weeks of release) also comes into play. All you have to remember is your subscription auto-renews for $50 with no warning. (By the way, there's a free Amazon credit for both of us if you sign up!)
Passive
