All the way to the Bank
Though it is highly improbable that you'll become a millionaire by earning cash on the internet, you can make some money. Aside from Helium, which we all know is a great money-making way to display our writing talents, it still doesn't exactly 'pay the bills'. These days especially, many people are very aware of the wolf knocking at the door. The economy isn't doing any of us any favors, let's face it. Many people these days don't have jobs, and so in their free time, may have discovered small ways to actually earn pennies per day or per survey, or earn points. Some websites are fun and allow you to earn gift cards, prizes, money or points to spend online. And so, they become slightly addicting. You can play with family members and try to beat your friends by earning more money or points on some very interesting websites.
~Inbox dollars
We've all heard of this one, and it's pretty much just a snap. You don't really have to do anything but open an email from them and click on the button that takes you to an offer page where you can sign up for special offers, to earn money. Of course, you don't have to join these sites, just clicking on the inbox dollar button will award you with a few pennies. You can also earn money by downloading their search engine and using it. You can earn a pretty decent paycheck if you do a few offers, and get your friends or family to sign up. They do offer things that you would actually buy or do anyway, so it only makes sense that you would sign up and make money for doing something you would have done anyway. Here, you can earn as much as you'd like depending on how active you are on the site.
~Swagbucks
This is the latest and greatest of new sites where you can basically earn enough points per day to cash out and get an Amazon gift card. Or a paypal giftcard, or hundreds of prizes. The more points you get, the more you can earn. They have surveys, tasks, you can watch videos, complete offers, and even shop at hundreds of stores (iTunes, Things Remembered, Barnes and Noble,Starbucks, Walmart, Target, Kohls, etc). Just join up: http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/srblake77 , and start participating. You will find yourself there several times a day, and will have your eye on a prize the minute that you join. Again, you can download the toolbar (which you get points for, and can do on all of your different search engines). Get a few friends to join you, and see who earns the most to win. They have a $300.00 Apple gift card, among many, many other fun prizes that anyone will want. This site is downright addicting, especially if you are trying to get more points than your sister!
~Superpoints Network
Much like Swagbucks (and giving you many of the same offers, except shopping for points), you can earn points on this site. But here's where it gets interesting; they offer actual cash for points! When you have accumulated enough points you can cash in for up to 500.00 dollars that will be sent to you through paypal. Go here: http://superpoints.com/refer/srblake77 and get around five people to join. The more people that follow you, the more chances you will have to earn ponts. They have a a superpoints button that you can use so many times each day, and you get points. You also get points in emails sent to you which reminds you to go and use the button and get even more points! This site is also addicting. The idea is to get as many people to join that you can (and you earn points when they do, so you really don't have to do anything).
~Instant Cash Sweepstakes
Here, you join and earn coins, pennies (or more the further you climb on the trust ladder). For joining, you earn 2.00, and you then get to answer survey questions and earn tickets and coins that enter you in a contest to win either 2.00 per session, or 50.00 per 24-hour period. Having only been there three weeks or so, I enjoy it, and if I can win $50.00, or even two every now and again, it all adds up in the end. Join here: http://instantcashsweepstakes.com/invitations/ref_link/395997 and start earning immediately. If you earn more on the trust score (you will be given a set of questions that you had previously answered, and if you answer them the same, you get more points). They also may offer you to become Pro status, which will give you more opportunities to get surveys from other places, and make more money.
Of course, you can still rely on the old stand-bys by selling the things you no longer use or want. These are eBay,Craigs List (be careful with this one), yardsellr, Amazon, and Ioffer. Another site that actually gives you real surveys and pays you for them is E-Rewards. You can use the money you earn there for airline points, magazines, and other shopping rewards. If you want to make things and sell them Zazzle is the place for that. You can use your social websites to advertise whatever it is you are selling, also. On cardpower: https://www.cardpower.com/Modal/UserLinkRefer/56266 you link your credit card (or bank card), earn one point for every dollar you spend and then use your points for a vast array of giftcards. I have already won three! Be wary of offers that automatically renew themselves, and have fun earning money and gift cards all over the web!
