If you have been researching how to make money online, then you probably have read a ton of different articles on how to do it. There are many different ways you can make money online, some ways are easier than others.
I have found an extremely easy way to make money from shopping online and I am going to tell how you can money money from shopping online.
I have been using a website called Rakuten (formerly known as Ebates) for many years now. They actually pay me to shop online. There is no cost to join and
So, if you normally shop online, then you should be using Rakuten. They will pay you to shop online. It is a very simple process and the best part- it doesn’t cost anything to join.
Since I already do most of my shopping online, I think of Rakuten (formerly known as Ebates) as FREE money.
What is RAKUTEN?
Rakuten is an online cash back company. They used to be known as Ebates but they recently changed their name to Rakuten.
They pay their members every time they shop online. Rakuten will also give you coupons and help you to find the best deals.
Rakuten is free to use, there is no cost to join their program.
How does RAKUTEN work?
First you will need to create an account. It is free to create an account.
If you sign up through this link, when you spend $25, they’ll send you a $10 welcome bonus.
Once you have your account created, it’s time to make your first purchase.
Rakuten has made it very easy to make money from shopping online. There are three different ways you can make your purchases so you can get paid to shop online.
The First METHOD to Make MONEY WITH Rakuten
Log into your Rakuten account. Then you search for the retailer you want to purchase from. Rakuten partners with thousands of stores.
Rakuten will show you the percentage of money you can receive when you make a purchase to that specific retailer. Then you click on their link and you will be brought to the retailer’s website.
You will always order through the retailers website directly, but you need to make sure you go to Rakuten first and search for the retailer and then click that link to the retailer. Rakuten tracks your purchase through that link so they can pay you for shopping online.
THE SECOND METHOD TO MAKE MONEY WITH RAKUTEN
All you need to do is install the Rakuten Button to your browser (it takes seconds to install).
Go to Rakuten.com, log in to your account, and scroll down to the bottom and click the Rakuten Button near the bottom of the page. Then you click “get the button – it’s free” so you can install it.
Once it is installed on your browser, you can go to any website the partners with Ebates (there are over 1800 stores). Once you are on the website you plan to shop at, you’ll receive a notification that asks you if you want to activate the Rakuten Cash Back. Click activate and then you can do all your shopping as you normally would.
Example: I went to Amazon.com and I got this notification on the website. I then click Activate and I can shop as I normally would while I earn money from shopping online
Now that I have this Plug-in on my browser, Rakuten has made it extremely easy to make money from shopping online.
Before I installed the plugin, there were so many times I shopped online and forgot to go to Rakuten first. I use to kick myself for missing out on the cashback. Now I don’t need to worry about forgetting because my browser notifies me.
THE ThIRD METHOD TO MAKE MONEY WITH RAKUTEN
If you do most of your shopping on your phone or tablet, then you will need to download the Rakuten app.
Log into you account and then you search for the retailer you want to purchase from. You click the link to the store and you do your shopping as you normally would.
How To Make Money From Shopping Online
It is so easy to make money from shopping online if you use Rakuten.
Rakuten is a legitimate cash back company. They get paid a commission from the retailer when you purchase through Rakuten. Rakuten then turns around and gives you a percentage of what they earn.
So that is why Rakuten is free to join and that is how Rakuten pays you to shop online. There are thousands of stores that partner with Rakuten, such as Amazon, Walmart, Target, Kohls, Lowes, and so many others.
You literally get paid to shop online. It is such an easy way to make money online.
