Welcome to our little site! We’ve written about a lot of things over the short time we’ve been going, and this page compiles the best bits so you can catch up if you’re new, or find your favorite bits if you’re a regular reader.
If you are new, we recommend you check out our About Us page, so you know what’s going on. But if you can’t be bothered with that, just know that we’re a site dedicated to finding and testing the best money-making methods.
Not only do we test those methods, we also keep track of our money-making progress with monthly Income Reports.
That’s all you really need to know for now. Here’s a collection of the best stuff on the site for you to get started with. Note: there are no outbound links on this page – all links will take you to other pages on this site.
Our regular ways of making some extra cash:
- Cashback Websites – one of the easiest methods out there. Make money on your online purchases just by using one of these sites. Cashback Sites – The Lazy Person’s Guide to Making Money

The most promising of these seems to be Pi digital currency, but there’s also the Bee network too.
