Reddit is one of the most popular social networks on the web, with about 330 million daily users. This means there is plenty of people looking for gigs on the platform and many others who are eager to get workers from it. It’s quite easy to see why Reddit is a popular platform for regular users and gig hunters – the platform puts text-based posts at the center of its operations; there is limited image or video-based content on the site.

There is something else: most of the talk taking place on Reddit has something to do with community discussions and tips on how to accomplish one thing or the other, stuff like how to launch a writing career and how to make it big in the world of stock markets. Also, there are links to lots of unique and exciting articles. Believe it or not, you can have access to a bunch of free stuff you would have paid a lot of money to get elsewhere, such things as food freebies, free stickers, paint, magazines, and health, and beauty products.

If you are on Reddit and you are trying to figure out how to make money on the platform, try out these money-making methods:

/r/beermoney – complete small tasks for small

This subreddit (a Reddit community consisting of like-minded folks) is made up of over 360,000 users. It is a great place to make some extra bucks to supplement your income from elsewhere. You will get paid for completing small tasks like taking part in surveys on OpinionOutpost or completing minor tasks on Swagbucks.

As the name suggests, most tasks in this community don’t pay well enough to sustain a decent living. Rather, they give you a chance to make money for your minor needs, like snacks and beer.
