ok so i have been doing the whole online job search for a few months now. the only things i have found that were legit that i could do were surveys and ptc sites. i dont know about you but spending an hour on a survey just to get 20 points does not seem worth the effort. ive registered with some freelance sites but have yet to get work from them. they require you to have experience but i cant get experience until they hire me. i cant sell stuff from home because i have severe social anxiety. what does that leave me??

I'm with quite a few survey sites now and some pay well, some pay bad. I've found the longer that I've been with a site the more invites I get and the more better paying ones. Basically you've got to keep going with it, but you don't have to do every survey you're invited to. One easy one I'd recommend is Swagbucks. It's a search engine and every so often you are rewarded with points which you can use to claim vouchers, money, electricals, t shirts and too many more to mention. It's easy to use and it's something you do every day. In 8 months I've earned £40 of Amazon vouchers, not a great amount but every little helps. If you want a referral I'll gladly do one for you.

Hi Kelly! There are other survey sites that offer cash instead of points or vouchers. Being an international member like I am is harder but if you are from the US, there are more offers. I am a member of several sites but I always recommend the two which are in my profile. This is so because they have, so far, the ones getting the best feedbacks from people.

this is my very first site to join in for extra earning. earning a dollar isn't easy but so far, i'm enjoying it. Other than the earning, we get to meet you guys here :).

hi bsollace! You are more privileged than me because you are from the US. Most sites tend to give more earning opportunities to US citizens than international members, especially survey/offer sites. But then again, I still joined these sites, as you see, if you checked my profile. Sometimes, I would spend three minutes in these sites and I'll earn fifty cents. That's not bad, right? But you being a US citizen can do more. There are sites who doesn't give away points but cash. Just search for the right sites. You can check the sites I posted in my profile if you like. Wishing you best. =)

If you are good at writing, you should sign up for sites that will pay out for writing, like Review Stream, Helium and Triond. It is a good way to be able to have a little bit of money.
