About Side Cash Guide

Side Cash Guide is an independent site run by Karanga Oliver. It publishes honest, practical reviews and guides about free ways to earn a few extra dollars online, mainly paid survey sites, survey apps and get-paid-to platforms.

Why this site exists

Most "make money online" content either over-promises or hides the downsides. Here the goal is the opposite: tell you plainly who can join each platform, how you get paid, what the minimums and fees are, and what's frustrating about it, so you can decide quickly whether it's worth your time.

How we review

• We read each platform's own terms, help center and sign-up flow, and cite where facts come from ("according to its site").
• We list real cons on every review: screen-outs, minimums, fees, email volume, device or country limits.
• We never publish income claims or fake earnings screenshots. Rewards are small and vary.
• We only include platforms whose affiliate terms allow promotion through content and search, and we exclude any that don't.
• We update pages when terms change. Spot something out of date? Email us.

How the site is funded

Through affiliate commissions (via the MaxBounty network) when readers sign up to platforms through our links, and through the Amazon Associates program on product links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Commissions cost you nothing. Read the full affiliate disclosure.
