Any Suggestion For Making Extra Money

United States
June 27, 2008 12:08pm CST
If I had a penny for every survey taken, hoping to make extra money from home, I would be RICH! Survey after survey, I have started filling out, with the promise of making a few extra dollars, have all turned out the same. You have to subscribe or pay money to try to earn a little extra cash. If we had to extra money to spend on things like that, why would we be filling out surveys? Is there any legitimate websites out there that allows you to make money from home without having to give an arm and a leg? I have been looking for data entry positions, as well. So far, I have come up empty handed. Any suggestions?

honestly, i believe that you really can't make much online without some investment or the other. you'd be better off doing a regular job, part time if necessary. online, for the work you put in, you will make money, but not very much. unless you invest. and if you're interested in investment, send me a message or contact me somehow. i do have a system that works. but the biggest drawback is that investment is required. its all these scams that throw people off and make them disbelieve in online investments. amyways, hope my response benefits you in some way. and happy mylotting

Mylot is the best I've ever found for free. I tried all those survey things too, and felt the same way. For one I wouldn't ever want to use my credit card for those samples like they want you to. As far as data entry I've looked into those too and found scam after scam. You need to be careful. now that you posted this you are going to get all kinds of people telling you to try this or that but you will be lucky if there is one that actually will pay you. I have been hearing a lot about this CashCrate thing but I think that's more surveys that you have to pay something for some sample so I leave it all alone. Been there and can't take it anymore. Best online thing I ever done is this and eBay. You could sell on ebay anything you haven't any use for. It does have some fees and all but I've made a lot there. I started buying things at yard sales and rummage sales and reselling there and I made two hundred dollars last week. I wish you the best. Sorry you wasted so much time on those things but it's a lesson we all learn.

I am sooo... sorry for coming in so late. However, i must say that even after searching for more than 2 years, I'm yet to find any meaningful income online.

There are lot of options but i wonder if they are valid because sites like awsurveys.com and other few sites told they will payout after a limit is reached but that was a fraud so be carefull in whatever you do. Don't waste your time. Best is to have a blog and earning through that

Not all survey sites take your money, if they are free to join then you aren't spending any money to make money. I personally don't think i would ever pay a survey site since all they do is give you lists of other survey sites that you can find by doing basic searches. I have been paid by a lot of the survey sites I am a member of, right now I have $226 in my one account that I am waiting to cash out. But I do think your demographics help a lot. I noticed that people with kids get more survey and product test invitations. •¤•Good Luck•¤•

Let me tell you frankly . Ther are thousands of programs in the inter net to pay you but there will be a few even a very few will be paying you all the othersa ae scams . That takes your money , energy, time , confidance etc etc. The only intention of scamers is that to earn money online. They cheat others to get money.So be care ful while investing online. I rather prefer not to invest online .

I know its very frustrating to read all the promises of online successes and the sales pitch can make you react with very enthusiastic responses only to be disappointed by the failure to deliver.. We have all been there. But not all online programs are bad. You just have to be alert to the good and reliable programs. I have tried several programs and have been grossly disappointed with the poor results. One thing that I have had some thrills and success in earnings is affiliate marketing which you can also try out. Its free to get started . And all you need is time and a computer with internet access and some basic knowledge of html although this is mostly cut and paste. And the skills can be learned easily.The commissions can be as high as 75% . Apart from that there are also other programs that you can get into such as blogging and creating mini sites. But you can make use of many online facilities that are already offering resources you can use like free web hosting sites and also free domain sites to create your own money making site. Feel free to check out my profile for some ideas relating to online business you can do from the comforts of your home.

Personally, I enjoy writing, so I submit a fair few article to places like Associated Content and Helium. I've had about $30 from Helium for 80ish articles, and they keep earning pennies, and about $15 from AC, for about 15 articles. To be honest, I'm sticking mainly to AC from now on, given the cashback versus amount of effort. Even so, with both, you're only talking 300-400 words on just about any subject you know anything on. Half of mine seem to be about videogames, and my biggest earner so far was this pithy thing about character names in MMORPGS: http://tinyurl.com/4jqp3f Obviously, not earning big money, but getting more since I learned about things like SEO and the like, and apparently it does escalate.

Surveys are nice but they dont make you an income every month.Just money here and thier.I do them though just to make a little money.I have other site where I earn as well as 2 other sites.The one site I can earn points up to 1,500 a day (that is the max your allowed a day)and if you done 1,500 points everyday then you would get a 50.00 visa giftcard in 4 and a half to 5 weeks.It takes 6 to 8 weeks to get the giftcard after you redeem it.But I figure it was free.It is a free site and it is legit and fun.The sites open to US and Canada residents.

To be honest with you, surveys, MyLot, GPT, etc. won't make you money. I have a website that will help you on your way, but I can't post the link here as per MyLot rules. Add me as a friend and PM me, I'll be glad to pass along the info. h, and f you do join I'll send you an E-Book for FREE that will help you learn how to find "things" to write about for blogging, etc. I paid for this E-Book, but I'll send it to you for free! This offer is good for anyone. Just PM me.
