I personally use Perk TV and Perk Pop Quiz. There's more of an initial investment since you have to buy phones (LG Optimus Exceed 2 is my preferred phone, on sale on Amazon for $14.99 pretty often), but I think it's worth it. I get a decent amount every day doing everything by the book (you can get more if you cheat the system, but I don't think that's a cool thing to do, plus you're likely to get banned).
Send me a PM if you want to know more. I won't try to refer you.

If this is online only and even if you have a job, school, or other responsibilities its definitely possible. You'll just have to put a lot of mind numbing work in.
Let's start with the passive. If you've got an android phone you can try running PerkTV while you're doing other stuff. On average you can expect about a dollar a day which would grant you $60 by the end of a 2 month period if you can consistently keep your phone on.
If you've got any spare phones lying around more power to you. Perk can run on one account on up to 5 devices quintupling your income. So if you've got 5 phones lying around and you think you can press a button on them like every 2 hours you're most of the way there.
/r/perktv
They pay in Giftcards but you can head over to /r/giftcardexchange if you need paypal or something else (which can be said about most of these)
Then you've got AppOptix which doles out points to you for doing nothing incrementally each week. I think there's a 100 point bonus for signing up which means at the end of a two month period you'd be eligible for a $10 giftcard.
Again, you do nothing and so far I haven't had a problem running it on more than one device (on more than one account though)
Nielsen is another app that gives giftcards like AppOptix for just having it on your phone. At one point they raised the price of giftcards to the point where two months wouldn't be enough to redeem anything but I checked just now and its back to normal. Again haven't been banned yet for having 2 accounts on more than one device.
Another one is Panel App ref |non-ref. It's passive BUT if you don't do the 5 or 6 question survey that pops up about once a week it's SLOW AS THE HILLS redeeming rewards unless you only do sweepstakes which I almost never recommend spending points on when there's an actual reward.
Some people also like mimedia, personally I'm not a fan and their new app needs administrator permission on your phone as well as access to your internet history and crap. No thanks.
Now, let's talk about active because if you don't have a phone all of the above is pretty pointless.
mturk is absolutely awesome because it credits far more than any other survey site I've used. You can bag $15 a day if you're really dedicated and constantly checking it (most I've gotten was about $11 in a day, I've heard as high as $50 but that would mostly be for people that have over 100 credited offers).
Go to /r/HITsWorthTurkingFor and sort by new and start hacking away.
Mturk deposits directly to your Amazon account which you can link to your bank account but you need to get that all verified. It can take a week to transfer money so make sure you don't wait until the last minute to do it.
If I'm remembering right it also takes a long time to get verified for just a MTurk account in the first place (on top of the bank account linking verification) and even when you've got it chances are you can exhaust every survey available to you. Rare, but it happens and probably will happen with your hefty goal. So in the meantime you can try these other active sites too:
InstaGC (great because like they advertise their giftcards are given as soon as you redeem)
I'm lazy as shit, enjoy my leisure time a lot, and work so I only make around $10 a week off of these active ones (and only put in about 3 or so hours in that week). If you were really going at it you could easily make what you need to in 2 months though.
You can find all this info if you dig, but it's pretty confusing at first.
If you only have 3 hours a day you want to start by maximizing your passive earners.
That's a little more than a month to break even and start making a profit, you can start with your existing phone/tablet etc as well.
From there you can look into growing your farm, supposedly you can have up to 5 devices running each perk app. But you run the risk of getting flagged/banned if earn too quickly, which will then require you to contact perk support etc etc.
You can look into other passive paid ad-viewing apps. Checkpoints and Charger pay are the noteworthy ones. But they're not worth it if you're not already maxing out perk.
I only do passive earning so you'll need to chat with others about active earners. Swagbucks is pretty popular and reliable for surveys and similar activities.
