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, some of them might be worth tinkering with here and there because of how fast they pay out.
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 are known for paying out your earnings within 24 hours or less. But before you start signing up, here are some things to know:
- You will need a Paypal account if you don’t already have one since that is how most of these sites pay out their cash. If you don’t have one, it’s free to sign up. You can transfer the money from Paypal to a bank account, or you can request a Paypal debit card that works like any other debit card and use it to make purchases with your earnings. There are also a lot of online merchants that let you pay with Paypal.
- 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.
5 Sites For Extra Cash That Offer Daily Payout
1 – Paid Viewpoint
I always list this one first because it is my favorite. If you cash out your earnings after you’ve taken enough surveys to accumulate $5 or $15 (your cash out threshold on this site will vary depending on how long you’ve been using it), they will almost always pay you within 24 hours of your request.
If you request gift cards like Amazon, Walmart, Target, CVS, etc., you will get your earnings immediately.
If you request Paypal cash, it will likely come to you by the next morning after you request it.
The site does have a disclaimer that it can take up to 72 hours to get paid, but in my experience it’s always been by the next day.

2 – Amazon MTurk
Amazon MTurk is an online work platform you can use for access to quick, easy jobs that pay.
If you are signed up with MTurk, you can get paid to do things like tagging images, transcribing files, data entry, answering survey questions, and much more.
While the pay isn’t much, some people like having access to MTurk just for the quick cash. You can request your earnings every day with a low minimum cash out requirement (I believe it’s just one dollar to cash out).
Your earnings will go to your Amazon Payments account.

3 – AttaPoll
You can download the AttaPoll app and earn money by answering surveys on your phone.
While there are a lot of options for online surveys that pay to Paypal, this one is known for paying instantly when you request a cash out.
Just like Paid Viewpoint (listed above), they do state it can take 72 hours to get your earnings once you cash out, but reports from users online indicate it is almost always within seconds or minutes.
Note that you do need at least $3 in your account to request a cash out.

4 – Branded Surveys
Branded Surveys (open to the US, Canada, and the UK) is a survey panel you can sign up with that lets you earn money answering surveys, polls, participating in daily challenges, and more.
They pay in points you can redeem for actual cash to Paypal, or you can choose to get bank deposits and Amazon codes.
While the company has up to 3 days to send you your earnings after you request them, most users say they get paid right away or the same day.
You do need 500 points in your account to redeem.

5 – Upside
This is the app I personally use for cash back on my gas purchases. While the money does take a bit to add up to much, you can get paid quickly once you cash out.
Most of the time, you’re going to get anywhere from five to fifteen cents per gallon back. This is great though because it does mean you’re saving on gas!
Once you decide to cash out your money, you can request it to go to Paypal, your bank account, or you can get gift cards instead.
This is speaking from personal experience, but I have never had to wait much more than 24 hours to get my earnings once I have requested them. There also does not appear to be a minimum in place. I’ve cashed out for as little as a dollar before.

Good luck! If you know of any others where you can cash out daily, I’d love for you to comment below with that info.
