I've been spending the past few days researching both on the net and on MyLot trying to find a way to make extra money. Most of the ways have been how to make money online via these paid to post and paid to click sites. These sites are a good idea however I would have to devote so much time, literally having to commit to them full-time, in order to bring in any profits and still not reach my $100. I work full-time as it is, so whatever I do would have to be on a part-time basis. Is there any ways, via online or offline, that you are doing, that would guarantee an extra $100 or more a month?Whether it be conventional or un-conventional..please let me know your ideas. My goal is to find something preferably to do at home, no stress involved, not too time consuming since I do have other things I need to work on pursuing such as building my acting career and my proofreading career. I would rather not have to go to a second location for work when I leave my regular job! Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

You ever thought about doing affiliate marketing. If you got referrals on mylot then you already doing it. Its big money in affiliate marketing if you pick the right niche. Finding things that will pay you month after month from each person you get is the best. Building passive income will always bring in money even years later after you stopped promoting. Niches like weight loss, adult, poker, casinos, and bingo. All of these you can pick to get CPA Plan (Cost Per Acquisition) one time payment per referral or PRP (Percentage Revenue Plan) you get up to 60% for life. I am only 22 years old and building my passive income so one day before I hit 30 years old. I will never work again. I have a list of poker, casino, and bingo affiliate programs. http://www.kushmoney.com/resources/affiliate-networks/ I don't know about you but 2 or 3 hours a day working on affiliate marketing to build a lifetime income sounds good to me. I hope this helped you.

SO this only works if you can get people to sign up...I dont know anyone that has the free time like i have...most of the poeple i know work long hours or are just very busy so getting referrals from friends and family that would actually participate is not that easy for me!

I make a little extra money per month completing mystery shops. I didn't have to pay any fees to sign up either. I have a regular full-time job but I complete mystery shops and get a little extra spending cash. It's nice because you have the ability to assign yourself the shops that you want to complete (when you can). I have an hour lunch break at my full time job so many times I'll complete the evaluation portion of a shop on my lunch break then input the evaluation results into my computer after work. Two places I do mystery shops for is: Service Evaluation (this place calls mystery shoppers business analysts) www.serviceevaluation.com Market Force www.marketforce.com

Hi there, I manage to earn about $200 per week and more by doing freelance writing from home. It's an easy job to get into and it's flexible with regards to hours and stuff buy the more you work, the more you earn. I only work for a couple of hours per day and this earns me a fair bit of cash as I'm a housewife. You look as though you can write well so it might be worth you taking a look as it. If you have a look at my profile and then take a peek at my blog you will see the site that I started using, but now I have my own private clients which will let you earn more. Good luck and be sure to come back and let us know how you got on! Merry Christmas, Kim

Thanks! I thought about writing for Associated Content but I know that I am not a WRITER per se...I can put words together easily, I'm a poet honestly, but as far as having a niche....I really don't have one. I can easily write about life in general but don't know if that would be something someone would pay for! I will check out your blog!

Yes for the month of September and November where Ciao.com still pays you a dollar per review with a minimum of 150 words. I was able to make 10 reviews per day of stuff that I want and familiar with. It was pretty neat as a sideline because it surely pays well, they pay on time and it gives you the chance to express your feelings, ideas towards a product, film, record, music, etc. Until one day, they decided to lower their per review to .25 cents and eventually got rid of the payment scheme totally. Now, I'm on the lookout for sites like this. Hope you find yours too in no time. Good luck.

I have a Site I joined a few months ago that with a little bit of "work" in the beginning from you you could earn some extra spending cash. It's a social networking site that pays for referrals (6 levels deep)similar to myspace. and I don't know if you heard of Yuwie but it is so NOT like Yuwie.... On Yuwie you had to work your tail off to get page views and then earned pennies a month. Ridiculous. This site 6dgr pays you $3 for every referral you get that signs up to be paid (they pay by direct deposit every 2 weeks to a preloadable debit card (great for eating out, gas money or shopping) or to a e*Trade savings account if you are just trying to save up some money - they can even split your earnings however you designate 60/40, 50/50 whatever it you want to have money deposited both ways. Anyway, I digress, when your referral gets referrals you will make $2 for each then $1 for 3rd,4th,5th and 6 level referrals. This site is really a great opportunity you can easily make thousand of dollars or just hundreds. All it takes is a little work in the beginning then when your referrals start getting referrals you can ease off a bit (if you want). This site pays so well it really is easy to get referrals. I have a downline of over #300 in 3 months but I haven't tried VERY hard I know of one member who joined only one month before me and has over 300 DIRECT REFERRALS he got in the first couple of months then he just sat back and coached his referrals and his downline is now over 10,000 and he even got an extra bonus of $1000 on top of his earnings for reaching 1000 referrals. You can easily tell your friends. post links hand out business cards or even post fliers in some populated places and grow your downline and your monthly income very quickly. I got my first pay 8 days after I joined and I have been paid every 2 weeks since then like clockwork. If you are interested i have a link on my profile page under my pic. It is FREE to join -Free to join- nothing to lose. If you want more info just pm me -I'd be happy to send you more info. Good luck to you.

you are right do not listen to anyone who tells you they have a scheme. The only way you make money from them is if they make money first, and even then where is the guarantee that you will get paid? Learn the ins and outs of the internet and do it yourself. I can provide you all the advice and assistance you need for free.

It looks like you've gotten quite a few responses - and I hope you're still monitoring them. If you haven't found what you're looking for yet, I think I might be able to give you something else to check out. I know you've probably been wading through a lot of information!!! I also work full-time (as a CPA) and as everyone else, I need a little extra income. I only have about 10 hours a week to devote to working part-time and I have no desire to "go" to a second job. A friend of mine introduced me to a great company that can fulfill my needs. Actually, last summer, I did no work what-so-ever and was still paid $125/month. The amount of mony you make is up to you, so is the amount of work you do. Check out my (free) websites on my profile (you don't have to be a parent, that's just one of the sites I put up here) to get a general idea of what to expect. I'd love to chat with you a bit more about this, just let me know!! Best of luck to you!

There is a good site and it's called Gather. You can earn points and when you have alot of points you can redeem them for cash or gift cards and so on. If your interested I can send you a referral link to join.

Well, if you like to write, you can sell your writing at Constant Content. Or write reviews. I know that there are some people who manage to earn $50 in two weeks. So I guess it is possible, but there must be some effort along with it.

It is hard to find legitimate sites that pay on the net. I began doing online stuff since July or Jubne of last year. And like you said I work fulltime as it is so I can only do so much on here. So I joined a lost of survey sites. If you would like to be referred to the one I know are legit you can find my email on the link to my page on my profile. And I can email you the invites. Now there are a few that I have cashed out on already that do not offer referrals. One is your 2 cents dot com. The info for them is also on my site. ANd the other is pinecone research...again the info is on my site. I have not earned a lot but recently I added a few others that I know people on here either recommended or referred me to...and I trust they have been paid. So good luck to us all who are trying to earn while we surf.

It depends. I have one site that you can make money if you get a few friend as a down line. All you need to do is a few quick searches on the web every day and your down line also does a few searches. It's something most people do anyway. By the way. I love your picture.

It can be easy to earn online. Once you get the hang of it you can build it as you go. As rule, never believe anything out of hype online. No one can be a millionaire overnight. There is no get rich quick scheme either it's all fluff and you have to at least work hard for it and one day it will just run smoothly. Only if you have the passion and the patience to keep working on it. Also, you have to be careful. There are a lot of those so called programs out there that ask you for money upfront to get their ebook or whatever. That is totally bull$hit. There are programs that can help you start out for free or for a very little start up cost. Try to stay away from programs that sell you tons of videos and ebooks, it's a vicious circle and you'll end up frustrated. There are ways to earn from other people's products online too. Like you can sell other people's products. Or give away a free ebook. Sign up with their site and on an affiliate market site and sell other members products. Now this can be tricky, you should at least have some experience writing articles, or if you have a blog it can be very useful. I will be soon updating and writing another blog on January about programs that I have found which can help those who want to start up free or for a little amount online. Cheers!

I don't thinx it will be easy to get $100 with in a month with out any money to start with/invest, especially if you had full-time job. But if you do have some money to invest (about $5 or $10 minimum) you could try investing them on forex and other (real) business (DONT Invest on HYIP/AutoSurf/Matrix) They might only gives you small profits (1.8~3% per day) but atleast they are stable
