There’s money most people never find. A side hustle that actually fits around a job and kids. A benefit someone qualifies for and has never heard of. A grant that goes unclaimed because nobody ever told them it existed.
None of it is hidden on purpose. It’s just scattered across a hundred places nobody has time to check.
That’s the whole job here. We look every day, so you don’t have to.
What you actually get
One email a day. Usually one thing worth your time — a way to earn a bit extra, a program you might qualify for, or a way to keep more of what you already make.
We publish longer pieces on the site too, grouped into five areas:
- Side hustles and extra income
- Benefits and assistance you may qualify for
- Getting paid for your time — paid research studies, product testing, focus groups
- Free money for school
- Money-saving tips that don’t ask you to rearrange your life
How something makes the list
The plain version: we read the fine print first.
Before anything goes out, we check what it actually pays, how long it actually takes, what it asks of you (age, location, a phone, a bank account), and what people who’ve already done it say about getting paid. If it works out to three dollars for two hours, it doesn’t make the list. If the terms go vague about when or whether you get paid, it doesn’t make the list.
Cutting things is most of the work. Most of what we look at doesn’t make it through.
How we make money
When you sign up for something we recommend, we usually earn a commission from the company behind it. That’s the entire business model, and it’s worth saying two things about it out loud:
- It costs you nothing. The offer isn’t worse or more expensive because you came through us.
- It isn’t why something makes the list. A good offer that pays us nothing beats a bad one that pays well. The moment that stops being true, this stops being worth reading — and then there’s no business here anyway.
We don’t sell or rent your email address to anyone. When you click through to an offer, you’re on that company’s site and their privacy policy applies — worth a read before you sign up.
What we won’t do
- No countdown timers or “only 3 spots left” when that isn’t true.
- No promising you’ll get rich. Most of what we find is worth somewhere between a few dollars and a few hundred. That’s real money, and we’ll treat it like it is.
- No burying the unsubscribe link. It’s at the bottom of every email, and it works the first time you click it.
