ALT-2 Fastest Money Making Sites
First of all, without owning your own business, you need to understand that you probably won't get rich on the internet. You'll find enough money to pay a few bills or to give you a few bucks worth of spending money each month, but please understand that in order to make a lot of money through the internet, you need to put together your own online business where you can make money from advertisers wanting their company's advertisement on your website. Find a niche that you'd like to start up, whether it's "Average Joe's Movie Review" or "Simple Susie's best recipe's ever," you'll have to find a business where companies will want to advertise.
But for most of us with the inability to take the risk of starting our own business, there are other opportunities for making money. Here is a list of my favorites:
1. www.helium.com (or www.heliumknowledge.com) This, as you know, is a website where you can write blogs and article about...well...anything you want. If your expertise is about fixing up cars, you can write about that. If you like to give your advice on parenting, you can do that. The payment comes pretty slowly at first, but after you write a lot of articles, you notice your account balance going up quite a bit each day. Many people have the strategy to write as many articles they can as quick as they can. But the best strategy is to take your time and write quality articles. You will get paid quicker and more often. Also, don't forget to rate articles, as that is the best way for all of us to get paid!
2. www.globaltestmarket.com. This is a survey site, and it is currently the best survey site I know of. It pays in points, and each point is worth $.05, with most surveys paying 50 points ($2.50). You want to make sure you fill out the personality profiles so you get invited to as many surveys as possible. I usually get one or two per day, giving me $2.50-$5.00 per day. Not bad!
3. www.surveyspot.com. This used to be my favorite, as they used to pay $3 per survey for every survey. They would send out three or four survey invites per day, so I was making $10 per day, easy. But now, rather than paying for the surveys, they give entries into sweepstakes. However, I still get about $20 per month out of them, so it's worth staying on their mailing list.
4. www.pandaresearch.com. This is a different type of survey site. They have sponsors who will pay you for signing up for their offers. For example, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial of Blockbuster Online. You'll earn $30 for doing it, then you can simply cancel your subscription right after. It won't cost you a dime, and you'll earn $30. While they have many of these offers, they usually aren't as high as $30. And you have to be committed to discipline. You need to remember to log on and cancel your account. Otherwise your debit card will be charged when you forget.
5. www.ebay.com. Have you ever noticed that you could find just about anything on this website? If that's true, then the same goes for the opposite statement. You can sell just about anything on this website. My wife and I had a garage sale last year where we made $150. With everything that was left over, most of it went to Goodwill, but we kept a few things and sold them on ebay. We ended up making more money on those few things than we did on the entire garage sale. Ever since then, when we want to get rid of something, we put it up on ebay and make a few extra bucks.
6. craigslist.com. Similar to ebay, but they also have their job listings, where you can look for part time jobs in your area. In those listings, you'll find online offers. Some are good, some are bad. I found helium through a craigslist posting, and am very happy I did!
7. www.moneymakingmommy.com. This is where I found numbers 1-6. The woman that runs this site does a ton of research to find good work-at-home opportunities, and its usually for internet work. She'll also be honest about things she has found that doesn't work. I literally started at this website when looking for ways to make a few bucks online and have found every opportunity (except for helium) on this website. However, it is on her website as well.
Since I began doing a bit of online work about 10 months ago, I've been fairly successful, having cashed out over $600 through various websites, while I currently have about $400 in different accounts on those websites. Over $1,000 in 10 months isn't bad. Especially when I only do this stuff on lunch breaks and when I'm bored on the weekends. I hope you find as much success as I have!
