Verities ways to earn extra money part-1

There are verities way to make a small spending money from home or earn a full-time salary, now’s the time — especially if you have a computer and internet connection. Just going online opens up a host of opportunities. The trick is knowing which businesses are legal. Here are my top picks 

Launch a blog: 

            If you have something interesting to say, grow your readership, post ads and earn some dough. Start your blog at a free site (go to http://www.blogger.com or wordpress.com), then go to Google AdSense (google.com/adsense) or the affiliate program at Amazon.com (affiliate-program.amazon.com) to feature advertising on your site. With AdSense, you make a small bit every time someone clicks on one of the ads hosted on your site/blog. With Amazon’s program, you earn a small commission when someone clicks through on an ad and makes a purchase at Amazon. The income will start small, but if you build your following, your cash flow will increase. Anyone can makes several hundred dollars per month from ads or affiliate links on his/her site/blog.

 Give your opinion: 

      At MySurvey.com, Surveyhead.com or ValuedOpinions.com, you can sign up to take surveys about products and services and get paid for it. Sites typically pay $2 to $5 per completed survey and will send you a check or deposit to your PayPal account, or gift cards or merchandise once you reach $5-$30 in your survey account. Scam alert! There are lots of survey sites out there, but not all are trustworthy. Avoid participating in anything that charges a fee up front to participate.

 Search the Internet: 

          Someone loves to scour the Web, and one of his/her favorite things to do is use Swag Bucks (swagbucks.com) as his/her search engine instead of, say, Google or Yahoo. By doing this, he/she earns Swag Bucks points — called “SBs” on the website — redeemable for merchandise like Target gift cards and beauty products. (Maximize the number of points you earn by installing the Swag Bucks toolbar on your computer.) You can also earn more Swag Bucks points by taking the site’s daily poll and by participating in the company’s “trusted surveys.” But be warned, it could take awhile to accumulate SBs. A $300 Apple gift card, for example, costs 37,000 SB. If you don’t want prizes, you can trade your Swag Bucks points for PayPal deposits into your account.
