Want to make money with Rakuten? It’s so easy! Read my full Rakuten review below to learn how to earn more with Rakuten by shopping online and taking advantage of cash back offers!
{Looking for more ways to make money online? Check out these 40 Ways to Make Money, How to Earn Free Gift Cards from Swagbucks, and you can also earn cashback from Mr. Rebates.}
Rakuten is a website that pays you for shopping online. Yes, for real.
After you sign up for Rakuten, you just go to the site and choose the online store you want to shop through and then click over to that online store. Then, when you make a purchase, you’ll earn a small percentage of your purchase back in cold, hard cash. Plus, for a limited time, get a $10 bonus with your first $25 purchase!
Most of the percentages you’ll earn are somewhere around 3-10% in cash back. That might not seem like much, but it can really add up over time. And if you’re already going to be making the online purchase, you might as well get a little kickback, too, right?
After all, it’s essentially “free” money. I don’t think any of us are going to turn that down!
Rakuten is one of the oldest cash back sites on the Internet. Rakuten offers an easy-to-navigate website and, in my personal opinion, is the best cash back program out there.
They currently offer cash back at over 1800 stores including Walmart, Target, JCPenney, Staples, Lands’ End, Sephora, and many, many more. They also offer daily deals and coupon codes to help you save even more on your purchases.
I have personally earned a lot of money from Rakuten over the years and can’t sing their praises highly enough. But don’t just listen to me!
Here are real unsolicited Rakuten reviews from my followers about their experience with Rakuten:
Jennifer shared a picture of her check from Rakuten on Twitter. I posted about it on my Facebook Page and the comments were brimming with people giving rave Rakuten reviews and saying how much they had earned from Rakuten.
See more comments from readers on how much money they have made from Rakuten.
Earning money with Rakuten is simple. Here’s how it works:
Well, that’s your decision! 🙂 Personally, I think that taking 30 seconds to login to Rakuten and search for the online store you are going to be shopping from and to click over to it from Rakuten is absolutely worth the extra step — especially if you are going to be earning a few dollars for doing so.
(I mean, think about it: making $3 in 30 seconds would add up to being REALLY good hourly wage!)
You can also download the Rakuten Extension for Chrome and you’ll be notified anytime an online store you are shopping from offers cash back on Rakuten. That way, you’ll never forget to shop through Rakuten! Plus, you’ll be notified of online coupons that are available, too.
If you do a lot of online shopping, you’ll make more money from Rakuten. If you don’t do much online shopping, you won’t make as much money.
But if you do ANY online shopping, you should sign up for Rakuten. Because even if you only make $10 per year, that’s still $10 for almost very little effort on your part!
If you regularly book flights or travel or make big online purchases, the cash back you earn from Rakuten can add up really quickly!
Ready to sign up and start earning cash back for your online shopping? Just go here and sign up. And as a limited time offer, get a $10 bonus when you spend $25.
Then, the next time you’re shopping online, be sure to go to Rakuten.com first to see if the online store you are shopping at has a cash back offer. If they do, click through Rakuten before you make your purchases and you’ll be well on your way to getting your first check from Rakuten!
Have you signed up with Rakuten? If so, I’d love to hear your Rakuten review and how much cash back you’ve earned from them! Or let us know about any additional tips you have for earning more money through Rakuten!

This week, join us as we share our goals for this summer! You might recall from our recent episodes our theme for the summer is a Slowed Down Summer.
Today, we’re talking more about what we plan for that to look like and the specific goals I set for the summer to help me live out that theme. Some of these goals might seem — at first — a bit contradictory to the idea of slowing down, but I share more in this episode how these will help me walk out my hope for slowing down this summer.
I set a running goal — which is something that is so cathartic to me! And a reading goal, which is also something that helps me to slow down. In this episode, I share about how I’m incorporating more reading into my day. I also set a reading goal for two chapter books I want to finish with the younger kids + some preschool I want to finish with them over the summer.
Finally, we are hoping to plan in lots of dates as a couple and dates with the older kids. I set specific numbers to shoot for, but it’s mostly just able intentionally prioritizing time to be together and have fun together.
What are your goals and hopes for this summer? I’d love to hear!
