I have been researching and looking into various FREE ways to make money online and trying them out myself to find out if they do work and if they do pay and I have come up with the following
Taking Surveys - Lightspeed Panel, PineCone Research etc
Writing - e.g Associated Content, Helium etc
Reviews - writing music and product reviews
Viewing Ads - the good ol' PTCs
Paid Searches - Webfetch, Scour, note,big question mark on HPF...
Playing Games - PGP..
Paid to Post Forums, discussion boards like myLot..
Blogging - PayPerPost, Smorty, Blogsvertise etc
Website and blog ads - Google Adsense, Bidvertiser etc
Affiliate Marketing
Seller and auction sites - ebay..
Is there anything else you may know about? How do you make extra money online? Are you using any of the above?
Which sites are you using for the above methods?Do you have any methods and sites to add?
Are there some other ways that you know of or have tried out yourself? Are they FREE or do they require an investment of some sort (a join up fee or require a membership fee)?
With which ones have you been successful? Which ones have you ditched and which ones do you continue to use?

I'm glad that you posted this discussion. I had posted on similar to this. Everyone seems to have different ideas on what sites are best to make money. I feel like this site, the mylot site, is the best I have ever found. The payout is not a great deal, but with this, you get paid for something you might enjoy doing. I, personally, like blogging sites. I also like the fact that there was not membership fee as with a lot of other sites. I do not join sites that require a membership fee or some kind of fee for shipping you something. I think that if you get hired, you would not normally be paying your employer to work there. Internet sites should be the same. Inbox Dollars is a great survey site. Right now, I think they're giving $5.00 for signing up. The minimum payout is $30.

Yes, I'm a member of inbox dollars too, I really should log on everyday and attempt the surveys but hardly get round to it
I think that if you get hired, you would not normally be paying your employer to work there
So true, I do prefer free sites as it is a hobby to enjoy doing and I wouldn't want to be worried about losing out on my money
Cheers for the response..

I am at Associated Content and Helium. I am also a BzzAgent, but that doesn't pay cash.
You have quite a list of things that you are involved in.
If you have a fast connection and can have a dedicated phone line, you could try doing customer service or concierge work from home. There are several legitimate companies that hire people for that work. I haven't been able to do it, because I don't have a dedicated phone line and I had also been stuck with dial-up for a long while.

I do not use any of the ones you posted above. How strange. I'm quite happy with my few accounts though. I'm making money off of review Stream and Ciao mainly. RS pays quickly, but Ciao is more fun to use. You also earn faster there. I also have a forum where I get paid for every 50 reviews I make. Earning's easy there as well, but the moderator pays so long and the topic's really limited. Finally, I earn from myLot. Would you recommend a site from the ones you've named which pays a lot? Like where have you had the most success? I want to try it out. And I live in Asia, by the way, so the site has to be open to non US and UK members. Thanks!

The site that has paid me the most would be a review site too, I write music reviews on slicethepie and although I do not do it as much as I used to, I am always guaranteed a good quick payout when I give it my best shot, check my blog for details.
I also use survey sites and have had several payments from them too.
Never tried Review Stream but I am on Ciao and it seems to be going well, again if I put in more time... I guess I could say Earning online is relatively proportional to how much time one's got

I think you have pretty much summed up most of the places that I go to. I do have a few other sites and most are listed on my profile if you are interested. I will also send you a private message for some of the other ones I didn't see you list. I love making extra money online because it helps fund my children's Christmas present fund. Every little penny helps.
Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

Yes, indeed , one can really earn is she knows how to select he right sites and utilize them properly.
Another writing site is Triond.com , you could share pictures there and also with share-a-pic. I have earned a lot from helium.com
I like sponsored reviews because they pay well and pay after a week. You'll just have to have a page rank before your blog is approved. Just be patient and keep posting in your blog and soon you'll be ranked 3.
I shared the above because they really pay you.
Good luck.
