GET PAID TO LOSE WEIGHT

Do you have a goal to lose weight this year?

Losing weight is hard!

You may get motivated then have one bad day and quit. It’s easy to lose motivation when it’s only you keeping yourself accountable.  That’s why weight loss groups are so popular.

Maybe you tried a weight loss group? Did it work for you?

What if you don’t have time to join a group but you want motivation and accountability? Or maybe your an introvert like me and rather do it on your own but need something to get and keep you motivated and on track.

Would you lose weight for money?

Would you be more motivated to lose weight if you could win money? Would you bet on your weight loss success? If a weight loss challenge involving money interests you then you should definitely check out HealthyWage.

When I first heard of it I thought it was definitely a genius idea so I figured I would write an article about it in hopes it would help some of my readers!

What is HealthyWage?

HealthyWage uses cash prizes to make weight loss and fitness more fun and effective!. You can make a personalized bet on your own weight loss and win prizes up to $10,000!

No one wants to lose money so betting on your own success and being able to reward yourself when you succeed is great motivation. But how does it work?

How Does HealthWage Work?

1. Calculate Your Prize

Start with the HealthyWage Prize Calculator, where you’ll enter how much weight you want to lose, how long you’ll take and how much you want to bet.

Based on that information, the calculator will determine your prize amount, up to $10,000! You can play with the calculator until you get the payout and goal just right, and you’ll know your payout amount before officially placing your bet.

Find a prize and bet amount that you’re comfortable with. Obviously the more aggressive you bet the better the payout but its up to you what you wager.

2. Sign up and lay down your bet

Once you have played around with the Healthywager calculator and chosen what you want to bet and win you then sign up and agree to pay the monthly amount for the duration of the challenge.

3. Lose the Weight

Stay on track throughout the contest with weekly weigh-ins. Use the HealthyWage App to make weigh-ins easy and to make sure you are on track with your goal. Remember there is money on the line!

4. Win Money

Achieve your weight-loss goal, and win your prize! Sounds simple right? Well, as long as you picked a reasonable goal that is.

How Does HealthyWage Verify Weight Loss?

To keep the contest fair, you’ll start and end your challenge with a video-recorded weigh-in to demonstrate your weight loss. Throughout the challenge, it’s recommended that you use the HealthyWage app to log weekly weigh-ins (these are just self-reported, not verified by video).

It’s a great way to keep yourself accountable and on track to meeting your goal.

According to their website, HealthyWage has paid out over $19 Million so far to people that are getting healthy, and that number is growing rapidly! If you don’t hit your goal, your money goes to support HealthyWage, including prizes for others who achieve their goals.

How Does HealthyWage Make Money?

HealthyWage makes money from corporate and government clients who are interested in creative solutions to weight loss. In addition, although financial incentives are great weight loss tools, people sometimes lose their weight loss bet.

The question is: will HealthyWage make money from you, or will you make money from HealthyWage?

Are you ready to get started? Make a HealthyWager Today! Just enter your information in the HealthyWage Prize Calculator to find out how much you can win and get started.

HOW TO GET PAID TO SHOP

Love to shop? Want to get paid to shop? If you’re looking for flexible jobs that pay you to shop than you have landed on the right page. I have found a few legit ways you can get paid to shop!

1. Get Paid to Shop with Instacart 

Have you heard of Instacart? Instacart is a service that fulfills grocery orders for customers and delivers it to their home.

As a shopper, you can choose whether you just want to be an in-store shopper and shop the orders within a store OR if you want to shop and deliver orders as a full-service shopper.

As a full-service shopper, you will need access to a vehicle but you have the option of just shopping in the store as well which is great.

What I like is that they both are very flexible and allow you to choose your own hours. You get paid weekly and work as an independent contractor if you’re a full-service shopper or an employee if you’re an in-store shopper. To maximize earnings you will want to work peak days.

If this sounds like something you would want to do you can check them out here.

2. Get Paid to Shop with Shipt

Shipt is a membership-based grocery marketplace, enabling delivery of fresh foods and household essentials.

According to their own website, experienced shoppers make an average of $22/hr. Paychecks are delivered every week and you can work part time or full time – any time. You can also set your own hours for a completely flexible schedule.

3. Mystery Shop and Get Paid to Shop for Yourself!

I’ve been mystery shopping on and off for years and love it. There are no certifications required and you should never have to pay to become a shopper with a legit site.

So what exactly is a mystery shopper?

A mystery shopper is a person who visits an establishment (typically a retail store, bank, restaurant or other such places where the public does business) for the purpose of observing and measuring customer service, product quality and the environment of the establishment in general.

Your job would be to follow all the guidelines set for the shop, get a receipt and take pics or video when needed all while usually remaining anonymous.

After the shop, you will usually be required to fill out a detailed report and upload all needed documents and photos. You would need to have followed all of the directions or you won’t get reimbursed. I have never had an issue but you definitely need to be detail oriented.

You won’t get rich off of mystery shopping but its a nice way to get reimbursed for dinners, groceries, and services. I have gotten free oil changes, groceries, clothes and nice gourmet dinners.

You can find legit Mystery Shopping companies over at www.mspa-americas.org.

NOTE: If it’s too good to be true, it may be a scam! Beware of mystery shopping scams. No legit company will ask you to cash any type of check or wire any money anywhere.

Stick to companies that are members of MSPA and always verify any emails are coming from that company. I have worked with several of the same companies for a few years and I like to stick with them because I know they pay.

A $100 Dinner or free hotel stay is NOT too good to be true BUT a free trip to Italy or $500 to Wire $1000 to someone IS definitely a red flag. Mystery shopping companies also never pay you upfront so never take or cash a check to do your shop.

When in doubt always trust your gut and google the company and the word scam to see what comes up.

4. Get Paid to Shop with Postmates

5. Start your own Shopping Service!

I thought this idea was really cool! If you’re entrepreneurial minded and motivated then this could be the route for you. A company called WeGoShop helps you start your own business.  WeGoShop is a system that helps you set up your own grocery delivery service right in your local area.

According to their website, WeGoShop works great as a home-based business and it has the potential to develop into a sizable operation with an unlimited earning potential.
