I like to earn a few dollars here and there with some of these points earning websites, but it's about $5 or $10 every 4-6 months. Is there a better way?

Swagbucks is a good, easy way to make a bit of extra pin money - I make a steady $5 a month on it, mostly through using the search engine. There are several other ways of making money on Swagbucks too, like completing surveys, watching TV, completing offers etc, so if you've got the time it wouldn't be difficult to double that. There's a referral banner on my profile if you're interested. I also do online surveys, but that's not what I'd call a steady income. Mostly I've started concentrating on selling the old junk that currently clutters up my house on Ebay - mostly books and magazines, so only a small income so far, but I have ambitions to go into that full time at some point. I find it quite enjoyable. One thing I never do is sign up with those sites that want you to make some kind of upfront payment - they're usually cons of one kind or another.

Swagbucks is really great and if you do have the time you can make triple or even 5 times the $5 a month. I really do like this site and am always earning from it when I am online. I would suggest this site to anyone.

There are dozens of ways: a myLot search will turn up hundreds of discussions about earning online and each of those will point to even more discussions about it. The main questions you need to ask yourself are what you want to do, how much time you can commit, how much you want to earn (realistically) and what skills you have to offer. Start with a myLot search.

That's good advice. A lot of people don't seem to realise that using the search bar on MyLot pays out the occasional few cents randomly. You just have to be careful not to overuse it, because the admin here don't like that.

investing is not a sure way to earn more many sites that promise that members will earn huge amount of money if they invest are scams...because usually you are just earning from new members investments so after some time when there is not enough new members coming in the site they don't have the money (or source of money) to pay all the members so end up closing the site (without paying the members) scamming many of its members

I found a site where you invest in shares. It's safe and paying. It's online since 2010 and ofline since 2007.

Best way to earn money online is writing and editing articles. There is high demand for quality writers. Programming, graphic designing, web designing, photographs and finally data entry works are the things occupy consecutive places.

Of course if we have a special skill to do those jobs......It's look like in real world. Yeah, I was participate in logo design, there are tons of jobd but it's about contest, the creator choose what they like.... Maybe, one task, submit by more than 100 people and it was never easy to get one.

Hello brucemcclendon, I earn through different sites. I do mainly writing and editing. Try odesk.com .. You have to sign up and look for available projects. There are several projects there. You will communicate with the hiring manager of the certain task and there you can talk about money and deadline. You can also try transcription. I use Scribbie.com You will just have to type in everything that you hear on the audio. There are lots of sites out there that do these things. Try searching mylot discussions for similar topics
