There are a lot of little side earners I’ve used for years — some even before I started this blog. I’ve earned extra money using reward sites, answering paid surveys, and other things like that. They’re mostly mindless, and of course won’t earn you enough for you to quit your day job.
However, you don’t always have to wait days or weeks for a payout.
And in my opinion, if you’re going to do something for extra money, the faster you can get paid, the better. Because who wants to wait weeks or months on just $5 or $10? That really kills your enthusiasm for participating.
Today’s post has a list of opportunities to make extra money that can pay out the same day you cash out. But before you start signing up, here are some things to know:
PayPal is a common cash-out option on these sites, and Paid Viewpoint requires it for your first payout. Some of the others also offer Venmo or gift cards.
Most (but not all) of these sites have a cash out threshold, meaning that you have to have earned a certain amount of money before you can even request whatever earnings you’ve accumulated. Payment delays and account checks can happen, and you won’t necessarily earn enough to cash out every day.
5 Sites For Extra Cash That Offer Daily Payout
1 – Paid Viewpoint
I always list this one first because it is my favorite.
Your first cash out requires $15 and must go through PayPal. Eligible members in good standing can cash out at $10 the second time and $5 after that.
After your first cash out, gift cards may also be available, depending on your country.
The site does have a disclaimer that PayPal payouts can take up to 72 hours, but in my experience it’s always been by the next day.

2 – Sproutful
Sproutful is a rewards site for US residents where you can earn points by taking surveys and trying game offers. You can answer surveys from your phone or computer.
You can redeem rewards starting at $5 (500 points), although some payout options require more.
Sproutful says PayPal and Venmo payouts usually process within minutes, but can take up to 24 hours.
You can choose PayPal, Venmo, prepaid Visa, or gift cards for your payout.

3 – AttaPoll
You can download the AttaPoll app and earn money by answering surveys on your phone.
AttaPoll says most payments arrive within minutes, although some can take up to 72 hours.
Its US app listing advertises cash outs starting at $3. The minimum varies by country and payment method, so check the amount shown in the app.

4 – Five Surveys
Five Surveys is free to join and lets US members earn $5 after completing five full survey credits.
Some surveys count as half a credit, so you may need to complete more than five surveys to reach your payout.
The site advertises instant withdrawals, with PayPal cash or gift cards available. Account verification and payment issues can still cause delays.
Go here to sign up for Five Surveys.
5 – Qmee
Qmee is free to join, and you can earn a little extra money by answering surveys on your phone or computer. It’s open to people age 16 and up in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, France, and Germany.
There is no minimum when you cash out to PayPal or Venmo, and Qmee says the money usually arrives within a few minutes. So even if you’ve only earned a small amount, you can request it without waiting until you reach $5 or $10.
If you choose PayPal, your account needs to be fully verified and registered in the same country as your Qmee account. It also can’t be linked to another Qmee account. Venmo is an option for US users.
Just so you know, you won’t qualify for every survey, and payment delays can happen. You can often get paid quickly, but you shouldn’t count on earning money or receiving a payment every day.
You can go here to sign up for Qmee.
Good luck!
