Making Cents?

I'm just playing with words as I contemplate ways to make extra money. It's difficult toward the end of the year with holidays and, in my case, birthdays and no extra money. I've gotten a rare burst of energy in the survey department. I've been doing a lot more than usual, and so a few extra have been coming my way. I managed to clear out my email box so that I can clearly see the surveys as they roll in and attack them. Every penny counts. I got back to Swagbucks, too, and have been using that site as much as I can. Since I've had to spend a little more money this time of year, Swagbucks is helping me there, too. Every so often, I get emails from trusted sources about ways to make extra money, and they always include writing sites. I never see this one mentioned, but I've checked out a few and have yet to find another one that really works for me. But I won't give up. The trick is to just keep plodding along and at some point there's enough built up to mean something. That happened to me a couple of months ago and it was wonderful! I guess I'm finally able to put the time into it that I haven't had in a long time. Well, for me, winter is a great time to settle down and work on making money. There won't be much going out at all and I will have hours to craft and crochet and knit and write. All while watching weather roll on by. I think I'm ready! Peace Claudia

You sound busy. I make a little on Swagbucks and other surveys. Do you play the trivia game every evening? A fun way to make a few pennies. I let my SB collect to $39. The cash it in for $50 on my Starbucks card. Then at Starbucks I can buy gift cards to give people.

I try to keep busy to keep out of trouble! I keep forgetting about the game, so I'm very glad you reminded me. Now please explain how you get $50 on your Starbucks card if you've only collected $39? I've been going to Starbucks a little more than usual lately, so that would really work well for me! Thanks again!

@CRK109 It is just one of the options on the list of reward cards.

Earning money is never easy. But be happy you have sites like Swagbucks. We don't have them here.

That's not fair. Swagbucks can be fun once you get going. Maybe they will add India in the coming year.

That is great that you are motivated and are making some extra money thru surveys. I only belong to 1 survey site, but they pay well so it works for me.

My problem these days has been too much time and not enough to do. So, I try to make a little money here and there instead of doing nothing.

Just a pity it is only pennies. You have to judge the effort and the returns. Also, think about the other benefits like interactions with other folks on the site

I like doing the surveys on swagbucks and when I cash out I put it into paypal so I can spend it where I want.

That is just what I do with my writing, Writing as much as I can, adding some online writing sites and I keep putting in writing bids for jobs. Every little bit sure helps.

I work online and I am in a few business opportunities. One of them you can get money in the mail. I also blog and do some affiliate marketing.
