I've spent countless hours looking for a way to make some money online so I can work at hoem a little bit. I don't expect to make a killing or a ton of money, just a few hundred a month. Every single site that I have come across has always wanted me to pay money up front to get started. The last time I went in for a job interview, I don't ever remember having to pay the employer to hire me so I think it's wrong of these online compannies to ake money from people who can hardly afford to pay their bills and are desperatley looking for some kind ofwork to bring in some sort of income. I mean some money is better than no money.
The other sites that I've come across are the ones that have you fill out all sorts of offers agreeing to purchase subscriptions or memberships and then you're supposed to cancel the agreement before the company actually puts the charge on your credit card. That way they say you get credit and get paid. To me this seems very dishonest and have gotten burned by endind up paying for things I did not want. There are also typing jobs out there, but they want you to pay them up front before they give you a job too. This also spells SCAM to me to.
Has anybody ever found a legitimate online job no matter how little it pays. I'd just be happy like I said beofre with just a few hunred dollars or more a month. If I can make more that's fret too. I've been going to school for an AAS degree in Paralegal Studies and really need extra money so working out of my home would be perfect for me and my family. If anyone know of an honest and legitimate work from home company and can show me proof I would be so grateful for you help and would do whatever I can to repay you for your help. Any and all suggestions would be helpful and I promise to check into each and everyone.
Even if the jobs aren't online and someone has any ideas PLEASE let me know. Thank you in advance my Friends.~D

:( I'm sorry to hear that you have not had the luckiest time earning online. I truly don't have an answer for you. I do the trials and offers using Credit Cards and have always been able to cancel. On one occasion I even called my CC company to warn them that I thought fraudulent charges were going to be processed (because the company disappeared offline for a bit). i can see how you may think this is dishonest, but I am a very ethical person, and I don't mind doing this at all. The truth is, the company is taking a gamble that you will like their product, they choose to offer this type of promotion, if I tried it and didn't like it, well, I don't think I should feel bad.
I have made over $250 on SwatCash, but it's a GPT site. But $50 was a Best Buy Gift Card taht I won and I also purcahsed a $50 Visa Gift Card using internal funds. Maybe you have just been on a lower paying gpt? At any rate, I love that site.
The other thing that may interest you is sponsored reviews. If you have a blog and promote it well and have a PR of 2 or over, you can get paid for writing certain blog entries. I have done one so far and they already paid me my money. It was only $3.25, but my PR is only 2 and my blog is about making money online, so I don't have much in the way of options to write about. But, I'm considering starting a new blog with a different topic and see if I have better success on the site.
I did work for someone on mylot once doing a "pay per post" kind of thing and I got paid $40 for a lot of work. It wasn't worth it in the slightest.
I hope you are able to find something that will really help. Please visit my blog if you want to know more about SwatCash or SponsoredReviews. I keep a running total of all money I have made on sites so that people know where they can hopefully be successful as well.
Good luck.

I agree. I am a member of SWAT Cash and have earned well over $600 (cash only, no gift cards) in just 4 months with them. I honestly put in little work every month and just keep up with the site. I log in daily for about 2-3 minutes, thats it. This month I am going to use their internal funds to get $100 sent to my PayPal account and get a $50 gift card.

Have you ever looked into becoming a ChaCha guide? Although you definitely can't count on paying all your bills with ChaCha, you can get a little extra spending money at least. Its takes awhile for the signing up process because of all the training and such so you have to be patient before you will actually start getting paid. Its very easy though if you spend a lot of time on the computer. All you do is help people that have questions about anything. People text a question on their phone to ChaCha and the guides will look it up on their computer and send back an answer. You get paid 0.20 per response that you send back. I have only been doing this for about five days and have made $15. No, its not much at all but if you work at it then you can make a decent amount. I'm still learning all the ins and outs of it but it seems like a good site to earn a some extra cash.
Also, you can either get direct deposit into your checking account once a month but there is a minimum payment of $100 or you can sign up for an online bank through ChaCha and they will send you a debit card. You can deposit your earning into that account at any time but you pay a $2 fee every time.
I hope this helps you. Good luck and I hope you find a site that works for you.
