Ibotta:(NOT FREELANCE JUST REBATES)

I do a lot of freelance work and I decided to compile a list with my referral links for all of you to enjoy. Full disclosure obviously I am going to get money for you using my links there's no reason for me to lie about this and why I'm writing the article. However I'm also going to review each one that I post and on top of that I'm only posting links you will get bonuses for. Each freelancing gig comes with its own set of problems no one is perfect, however if you're motivated enough becoming a full-time freelancer can allow you to ditch your boss, make your own schedule, and while the gigs may not make you a ton of money individually you may be able to make plenty by doing them all if you're motivated enough.

This one is probably the most popular. We all know about Uber, but what you may not know is Uber also offers an UberEats driver program.UberEats allowes you to take part in Uber without having to drive people around and worry about people in your car or drunk people, in fact the only interaction with people you will have is picking up orders from restaurants that are already pre placed and prepaid and dropping them off to the customer by handing them the bag. What I personally do like about UberEats is unlike other Courier Services I will mention, ubereats, in Los Angeles, is mostly curbside. The reason that's good is because you don't have to worry about looking for parking the customer comes out and gets the food from you. The other good thing about UberEats that sets them aside from a company I'll discuss further below is they have a customer service phone number, meaning when you have issues with an order you can actually call someone and talk to a live person, and while that may not be a big deal to some, anybody who's worked for Postmates knows how much customer service is a real help when you're out there in the field. The downside of uber is the pay is not that great, and in these types of jobs you mostly rely on tips but uber does not do that great of a job encouraging them. The way that tipping works in the UberEats app is that after the delivery the customer gets a rating screen and after he rates he has the option to tip. The problem is some customers won't even bother opening the app again after they've received their order, others will open the app see the rating screen but have no need to write you the rating, and the app does not actually say tip anywhere until you get passed the rating. With all this in mind it's still extremely easy work and it's hard to complain about doing nothing but picking up food and dropping it off and getting paid for it. Oh and before I forget my favorite part that sets Uber apart from other apps is their instant pay feature, yes you can cash out instantly and have that money instantly and you have a choice between paying a $0.50 transaction fee if you want instant pay directly to your bank, or doing it for free with an Uber card issued by go Bank. GoBank (owned by greendot) has quite literally thousands and thousands of ATMs all over the country that you can pull the cash out for for free. You can get the GoBank app and just see how many ATMs there are, chances are you'll find multiple ATMs right down the street from wherever you live that you had no idea you could do this at because nowhere on the ATM does it say GoBank.
(because the ATM's belong to different banks but you can pull out of these ATMs cash for free no transaction fees to transfer completely free and instant) you press the instant pay button on the UE app, the money is on your card. It's a Visa card you can use it directly or you can pull out cash. Your choice, bank account or the card, I just prefer the card because it's very convenient and completely free that's my favorite part.

This link I'm about to post, will allow you to get a sign up bonus. The amount of that bonus varies depending on the city that you live in. At the time I did it for me in Los Angeles it was $150 after completing 40 deliveries, those deliveries were very easy to complete and there was no time limit. That may be different for your city so please don't kill me if that's not the amount you get it may be higher or it may be lower. Also I have a suggestion, and that suggestion is that if you plan to drive for only Uber Eats and not Uber you make a brand new email address, because if you use an existing email address that you've ever even once you used the Uber app on it will ask you to log in and if you do that you will have a major headache because their sign up process will automatically try to sign you up to drive for Uber rather than doing Uber Eats in which case it will ask you to do a car inspection and you're going to have a ton of problems, So to avoid that I would suggest making a brand new email.

Postmates is a lot like Uber Eats with a few major differences. For starters Postmates will deliver anything not only food so that means that the market is much larger, when I say anything I mean it could be groceries it could be a soda from 7-Eleven it could be an iPad it can be a brand new bike virtually they will deliver anything and I mean anything so long as it is legal. Yes they will even bring you a bottle of vodka if you want as long as you have an ID to show your over 21. Postmates encourages tips much more than Uber, after every Postmates delivery the customer gets a notification on their screen reminding them to tip and they get options of percentages of how much to tip this is good because the percentages take the total of the order as well as all of the fees and it is a percentage of that so imagine if somebody orders a $2,000 MacBook Pro and chooses to give you a 30% tip by just hitting the option on the app, that's a $600 tip right there! Now I'm not going to exaggerate and tell you those are the kind of orders you're constantly going to get but it is a possibility that you will get that and just knowing that that's even a possibility is already amazing in my opinion. The downside of Postmates as I mentioned earlier is there customer service,
Or rather I should say lack thereof.. If you have any issues with either the order or the app contacting customer service is nearly impossible there is no phone number there's no chat there's no texting there's no way to contact them there's not even a office you can go to, the only thing you can do is email them which could take forever to get a response. When things go wrong with an order the only option they really give you is to either cancel the order or tell the customer to cancel the order, if you cancel the order there's a good chance you won't get paid, if the customer does it you will get paid but you might be stuck for a long time until that order gets cancelled because the customer would actually have to email Postmates and they would have to cancel the order and you would think they would be right on that but I have seen it take an hour before. All that being said Postmates is much busier than Uber Eats you always have work and customers almost always tip at least for me in Los Angeles you can definitely make more money doing Postmates.

The following link will give you a $120 bonus to sign up for Postmates in Los Angeles amounts may vary in other states

I'm not going to try to sugar coat this one, I've done very little work for doordash. The reason why is because I signed up for doordash, I got an awesome giant thermal bag for free which was cool, and then I started working. I did about two orders and I stopped. The reason why is because doordash will pay you a flat rate no matter how many miles you go. I don't like this personally because if you get deliveries that are far away that flat rate fee is $5 no matter what. Now the plus side of door Dash is the Tipping is done before the customer received the item as soon as he places it he inserts a tip so that makes it so you almost always do get tipped, and the $5 payout is great for short distances so if you pick and choose your deliveries you might be able to make plenty of money from it but I personally prefer getting paid per mile and for waiting which doordash does not offer, still you do get a bonus for signing up, for me it was $100 after doing 30 deliveries again as always that may vary by location. Even though I'm not a huge fan of doordash I still suggest you sign up for all of these apps because when one is slow you can switch to another and if something goes wrong with one app you always have a backup. Something might happen to that company and you'll still have a job so I would sign up for all of them and have them if I was you guys but anyways, here is the doordash link with a bonus of $100 in Los Angeles which may change or vary by state

Wonolo is not like any other app I mentioned above. For Wonolo you do not need a car and you do not need to go shop for people like you do on all the other apps mentioned. Essentially the way Wonolo works, a list of jobs near you is shown, you apply for a job then show up at that job, (usually it's a warehouse job but that can vary) work, leave, the next day you apply for a completely different job. Like the other apps the benefit of this is that you make your own hours and do not have to worry about a boss, and don't have a limit of how much you can make because you can work as many jobs as you like. Generally around my area they are about $100 each job though that can change depending on job and area. Wonolo offers both I9 and W-2 jobs. The benefit of having an W2 job rather than an I-9 job is that while you still get to have the schedule like an independent contractor, you get the benefits of an employee which none of the other apps offer. what I mean is when you go to file your taxes at the end of the year you might actually get a tax return rather than having to pay taxes which is pretty cool! The only downside I found about Wonolo personally, is the fact that most of the jobs in my area are all W-2 jobs and the W-2 jobs require a drug test. Even if you do not do drugs and do consent to a drug test the reason I personally don't like this is because they will make you go to a specific location to take the test which takes time out of your day time that could be better spent making money. But aside from that any I-9 job that you do see on there do not require a drug test and once you do pass a drug test you can take all the W2 jobs as well! Payment on Wanolo is either directly deposited into your bank account or it can be done via a prepaid card that you already have or you can get one from them.
The following link will get you a $25 bonus with wonolo as soon as you complete one job and get a 5-star rating from the employer, which as long as you don't piss off your employer should be pretty easy.

Full disclosure Ibotta is not a freelance job, or a job at all! This is more of an honorable mention to my list rather than a part of it. Ibotta is not a way for you to make money, rather it is a way for you to save it. The way it works is you go to a store or shop online your choice. By whatever you're going to buy anyways but if it happens to be on the app just put a checkbox next to it and you'll get money back for it. Essentially as soon as you get $20 you can cash out via PayPal. If you use Ibotta right it can be a very useful way to save money, however I will tell you what not to do. When I first got it I learned quickly, what you should not do is Chase the rebates, by which I mean go by things only because they are on the list of rebates in order to get money, because if you do that you will end up spending more money then you normally would. Instead what you should do is go to the grocery store when you have to go grocery shopping with your personal grocery list, pick out whatever items that you are already going to buy put them in your cart. Now before you go check out or even after it doesn't matter, just go through the items and use the search function in the app to see if any of those items are in the app that you already bought or are going to buy, if any of those items are there which there's a very good chance of that's a lot of items or any brand items just put a little checkbox next to it take a picture of your receipt and the next day you'll have that credit in your account, get to $20 and cash out.
Payments are done via PayPal.
The following code will get you halfway to that $20 it will give you $10, the only thing about it is you have to buy one item that's not in any brand item in order to receive it, for me it was a two pack of Hot Pockets which I bought for $5 well worth the $10 credit that I got in return, just pick out one thing anything on there that's not in any brand item that's on the app and you'll get the $10 credit.
