To live comfortably in this world, we need to work and make money. It’s the cycle of life. We grind day in and day out just to get our well-deserved income, and then, we spend it for basic necessities. But wait – the only way for us to get a decent income is to practice our skills and expertise. Without it, we won’t be qualified to earn cash.
For example, you want to work as a waitress in a new restaurant. With that, you need to possess a pleasing personality, at least some high school level of education, patience, willingness to serve people, courteousness, and of course, the waitressing ability. You need these qualifications and skills. The same thing goes if you want to become a doctor, an engineer, a call center agent, a janitor, a customer representative, a cop, a driver, a banker, a teacher, or even a writer. You can only perform your job to earn a paycheck if you have the necessary skills.
Does it mean that less skilled people cannot make some money? Well, there are two things you need to know – all people have skills, and there are ways to earn money even if you don’t have special skills. You don’t need to be a college graduate to use these money-making ways, but you must possess a smartphone or laptop/PC and your ability to tinker apps and click on links because that’s the way you’ll earn cash.
All of the apps and sites in this write-up have simple instructions that you need to follow to make money. Some will provide rewards in form of points. These points can be redeemed in gift cards and coupons.
What’s the super simple task? Well, you can earn money or points by buying or selling things, watching videos, playing games, answering surveys and a whole lot more. The tasks are easy as 1-2-3 and it’s a no-brainer. Like I said, you don’t need special skills!
Anyway, here are 9 super easy ways to make money even if you don’t have a special set of skills:
BookScouter
Do you have lots of books that you don’t use anymore? If you have, then, you’re in luck! You can earn money on the side by using BookScouter. BookScouter is a book buyback website. All you need to do is input your book’s ISBN number and you’ll get a list of prices that your book is selling at the moment.
Select the highest amount on the list and let the site buy your books from you. You can sell them your school books, textbooks and other books that you want to let go. Who would have thought that old and used books can bring you some cash, right? Well, with BookScouter, you’ll have the opportunity.

Ebates
This is not really a site that will give you tasks to earn some cash or rewards, but with this site, you can still earn money. How, you ask? They offer a cash back program if you buy from various retailers through their website.
Let’s say, you need something from Amazon . Buy that thing that you need on Amazon using Ebates. The site is synced with Amazon and many other retailers like eBay , Macy’s, Kohl’s, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and more.
With other shops and online sites, there is no cash back program. If you course your purchase through Ebates, your money will be reimbursed in a way. It’s not much, but at least it’s something which is better than nothing. Other sites don’t return a cent to you for your purchase, but Ebates will give it back.
Why will they do that? Ebates will get a commission from the retailers by “assisting” you with the purchase. The cash back program is Ebates’ way to say “thank you” to you for the business.

Microsoft Rewards (BingRewards)
Now, this is a site that will give you rewards just by using their search bar. You will be paid in terms of rewards for every search that you do using Bing. You can convert these rewards from your searches into gift cards.
Users of Bing have reported that they’ve earned at least $100 annually in gift cards just by searching with the use of Bing. So, instead of using other search bars, why not use Bing? It will give you some rewards for your personal searches which is a great way to earn gift cards.

InboxDollars
The moment you decide to join InboxDollars, they will pay you $5. It means that in a matter of minutes, you’ll get your first income from the company. InboxDollars is one of the best sites to make money since you can do tasks of all sorts. You will earn rewards by watching videos, trying out new game apps, shopping online, answering surveys, and a whole lot more.
It’s like cash in a snap, but realistically, it won’t make you rich. Still, money is money and by doing tasks in InboxDollars, you get to earn some bucks on the side.

UserTesting
Another way to earn money without using special skills is through UserTesting. UserTesting is a platform that offers creators of websites and regular people a place to interact and do business. Creators or owners of various sites need regular people to test their websites. In turn, they have to pay the people who will check it out. You can be a part of those “people” that I’m talking about!
You will have to provide your feedback on the site. Is it user-friendly? What do you think of its design and interface? What tool do you need which will improve the overall functionality of the site? Questions like these must be answered truthfully if want to earn $10. Yes, each site check will earn you ten bucks, at least.

Swagbucks
Swagbucks is the holy grail of rewards websites. It is among of the most popular “earn rewards” sites on the internet today. It’s been highlighted and acknowledged in ABC’s Good Morning America show and Forbes had good things to say about it. The mechanics in Swagbucks is easy and it is quite similar to InboxDollars. You need to go to the website and see what the available activities are in store for you to earn money at that specific moment. Mostly, you will be participating in online polls and surveys, do some shopping, check video previews, and more.
In Swagbucks, their currency is called “Swag Bucks” or SB. For every activity that you complete, the site will reward you with SB. SB can be converted into money and you can cash it out as soon as your balance is qualified. It’s possible to use Swagbucks on your iOS or Android mobile device by installing the app.
At times, Swagbucks will give bonus SB’s for those who register and become a member. They also facilitate the process of acquiring a Swagbucks VISA Rewards credit card which will earn you an approval bonus of 1,000 SB’s. If you get approved, then, with each dollar that you purchase using your SB VISA Rewards credit card, you will earn 1.25 Swag Bucks. Within the initial three months of use, if you swipe the Swagbucks VISA Rewards credit card for up to $1,000, Swagbucks will reward you with 2,500 SB’s. There is interest fee though if you don’t pay your monthly credit card bill, so be careful.
By checking out videos in Swagbucks, you can get at most 150 SB’s every day. If you search the internet using the SB search engine, you will also get paid. Of course, if you try out games through the site, you will earn your SB’s. Online shopping has never been this good since using the Swagbucks portal can earn you additional discounts with corresponding Swag bucks, as well. The site also has online surveys to finish and they will pay you SB’s for the information.
Users said that you can convert your SB’s into money and the cash will be available through Paypal. You can also ask for gift cards from various online retailers as your payment from Swagbucks.
