How to make money online

I am going to make this a series. I'll give a brief rundown of each of my favorite ways to make money online, and then in future posts I'll go into more detail on each one.

Get paid to click : These types of sites are usually tied in with the get-paid-to-try websites. In those instances, there are usually only a few links that you can click. However, you can sign up for paid e-mails, too, which will get you a few more cents. There are a few websites devoted to just paying for clicking on websites, and while these don't make you a lot of money if you don't have a bunch of referrals, you can actually see your earnings grow, which is fun.

Paid surveys : Getting paid to take surveys is not very lucrative, no matter what anyone says, but you can make a little extra money a month. Don't join survey systems that ask you to pay a little to recieve the information to sign up for a bunch of survey sites. It's not worth it. The trick is to find survey sites that actually send out a significant amount of surveys each month.

Get paid to shop : These types of sites should only be used if you do a lot of shopping online. If you already shop a lot online, then this is a great way to get rewarded for it. But, of course, there's no use in spending a lot of money that you would not have spent otherwise if you're trying to make money.

Get paid to write : This is my favorite. If you like to write, then post articles to websites that will pay you for it (or create a money-making blog, whether through Sirgo.com which has a blog function or by adding Google adsense to an existing blog). And some websites that pay you for your articles will provide information from legitimate publishers so that you can try and get your writing published and make more money.

Get paid to try : These will give you a little money for signing up for free trials. Read the fine print, though, and cancel the free trial within the time limit or you will be paying a lot of money. And for all of them, you have to call and cancel, so make sure you have the information on how to cancel.

In future posts I'll go into more detail on each of these methods and provide the names of websites that you can go to.

It does seem that the most money to be made is via 'writing' - with epinions.com you can make $200 a month if you're pretty good! Note - I do not get any money if you join - it doesn't work that way...but if you want, you can reasd my opinions via my 'blog' - add me to your trust list...
