What's the Deal: Ways to make extra money with little effort. Alicia Vitarelli reports during Action News at 4 p.m. on May 8, 2017.

If you're looking for extra cash, but you don't have too much extra time, there are dozens of ways to make quick money with minimal effort.

First, your vacation photos!

Yes, the travel pics you snap can earn you money for your next trip.

Our Philly friends at the Penny Hoader say sites like istockphoto.com or shutterstock.com, make it easy for amateurs to sell their photos.

They say your most beautiful and generic shots will make you the most cash.

Next, how about watching YouTube-like videos?

InboxDollars will add a little cash to your account for every video you watch.

While you're watching, take a survey.

The Penny Hoarder says Opinion Outpost and VIP Voice are two of the only legit paid survey companies out there, according to the Better Business Bureau.

Some pay in cash, others pay in gift cards.

Then be a sleuth shopper on a top-secret mission and get paid.

An app called QuickThoughts pays you to give feedback and take cell phone pics of stores, rating everything from cleanliness to the time it takes to move through the line. Earn spending power at Amazon and iTunes.

Finally, buy groceries, earn rewards.

The Nielsen Company will pay you to scan the barcodes on your groceries as part of data collection.
