What online activities do you do to earn money?

stacks of money - Online earning...there's so many get-rich-quick schemes, but do they work? I think that you have to put some effort into earning money, it doesn't just fall into your lap, but sometimes it's easier to sit on your butt in front of a computer and click & type your way to a few extra bucks!

Obviously, most of the people on myLot are here for the money, but what other sorts of things do you do?I just signed up for DealBarbie, I do MyPoints (I get free gift cards for things I normally don't have the cash for), I complete surveys (I haven't been paid for them in years...I rarely make it past the first few questions) and I'm a member of SendMoreMail (reading emails for money). It's easy, but it's not making me rich!I've never paid to join anything--kinda defeats the purpose, right? So how are you earning a few bucks now?

I do quite a few different things to make extra money.I like survey sites like NFO Surveys and Opinion Outpost.I also do GPT sites to sign up for free offers.The latest one I'm making money with is BRRING,where you get paid when people call you.

I used to do NFO--I think they still send me messages on my other email. I'll have to go check that inbox and sort through the 200+ messages I have there! I don't know that I'd like BRRING right now--I have creditors calling me non-stop and they're driving me nuts! Maybe after my life calms down a bit...but thanks for sharing!

You could also do what I've done with BRRING.I sent all the people that are hounding me for money a new contact number,my BRRING number.This way,when they're trying to get in contact with me,they make me money.Just an idea.

I do MyPoints as well :) I enjoy that site very much. I have recieved several gift cards through them. Plus, it is a way for me to spend my earnings on myself rather than feeling obligated to send them off for bills.. I recently started doing ReviewStream..but haven't done much with it. The same goes for Gather. I have been a part of Helium for quite some time, but have never paid out..after like two years, I think I am at $6.65. lol I have signed up for several other sites recently, but haven't been a part of them long enough to know how much I like them or if I will get paid. (like Squidoo, eHow, DonkeyMails, Hits4Pay, and Clixsense.)

MyPoints is awesome--I just got two giftcards from ITunes ($50 & $25) and PizzaHut ($25)! I've gotten giftcards for Bath & Body Works to do Christmas shopping--I had nearly forgotten about it, but last time I went to redeem points, I had something like 32,000! So I figured, lemme check out their rewards. Woo Hoo!

They are all a joke. And a waste of time. The only site I belong to now is mylot and clixsense. No you wont get rich. I use to belong to all of them. And it took all my time when I could have been spending time on mylot. Mylot has never let me down. Well one time but I wont get into that.LOL My advise dont bother with them.

I've been a member of MyPoints for about 8 years and I have found their rewards to be much easier to earn (and more of what I need); they have never let me down. I've only reached payout here on myLot twice in a year (but I did take a lot of time away to work on my education). I'm only trying to see if anyone had any suggestions that won't cost me anything to join, and there have been some good ideas for me to research further, but thanks for the advice!

Have you tried earning through myLot? It's not easy money, but it can add up quickly. I'm asking this question in hopes of earning other money to help out during these lean times--I'd suggest looking through some of the other responses to see what other people have found to be successful. Good luck!

Yes, unfortunately I don't have the time to sit and design logos. Writing, I could probably do--do you have any sites to recommend? Thanks so much!

I spend a lot o time on boomertowne.om because they reward Americans and Canadians with pre-paid isa cards. If I am able to make 1,500 points a day every day or 35 days, they will send me a $100 pre-paid Visa card. I love Boomertowne.
