Hi, I noticed that many of you read emails to make extra money. I decided to give it a try only to find that I could only sign up for a couple of sites. Why is that?? I wanted to join at least three or four sites to make some decent money.It just seems like nobody will let you get ahead in life. I really need some cash, I am disabled and live off of social security which just doesn't pay a whole lot. I need a way to make some cash online. Any suggestions???

One reason could be that the same owner has several of the sites that you are trying to sign up for. Good luck on the emails though. I never did get paid for any of the sites, that i signed up for.

I use a website that earns you points per email you read and then you can cash in the points for a giftcard (they have 100s to choose from) They do pay. I recieved my first gift card a couple weeks ago. Message me if you want a referral.

I am sorry to know that you are disabled. Reading emails is one way to make some income on the internet. Do you like writing online, e.g. articles, reviews, commentaries ? There are a number of sites where you can write those. One of the programs I find very interesting is "Review Stream". I have been writing reviews online on this program. One can write brief reviews on a variety of topics, media, movies, restaurants, shopping, hotels, etc. , and get paid. If you like writing online , you might want to take a look at this site. Best wishes to you !

Do you have a blog? If you do, you can apply for some paid reviews to be written in your blogs. There are a number of reputable companies around. Keep your blog active and as your page rank goes higher, the opportunity for paid reviews to be offered to you will increase too.

Hi osris61.. First of all, welcome to MyLot. :) I hope you don't get too depressed.. Maybe you could try joining ODesk. You just need to pass their readiness test and then, you'll be able to apply for jobs/tasks from there. There are a lot of writing, administrative jobs available. Also, before joining all these sites where they require you to read emails in order to earn, it would help if you first research if they are legitimate sites and if they do really pay. In this way, your efforts won't be wasted.

I'm sorry to hear that. However I don't know how you can make money by reading emails. As i know many people make money at mylot. so maybe you work hard on this website, at least you can get your first payment soon.
