No matter how hard I try

So in the hopes of making extra money. I have tried the following things, I have tried to work for Arise, for some reason did not pass their qualifications, even though I have worked in customer service for years. Now today I spend an hour trying to sign up for vipdesk, and my computer does not have enough GB for me to complete the application. I have no idea how to get more GB and I certainly cannot buy a new computer right now. Feeling really frustrated, anyone have any ideas? I need to make more money sooner than later, love some of the other sites but a few pennies a day is not going to help me.

you can always get an external hard disk to increase the memory of your computer. I dont think it will cost much. But you will have to shell out money initially.

I am not really stupid I swear, but give me a clue. Is it just like going to Best Buy and buying a hard disk to increase the memory. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Hard drive  - Internal hard drive
Have a look at ebay for hard drives. An external hard drive (I have one with 600GB- cost £50 in a UK high street shop)on ebay will cost you $30 up. It's USB plug and play, and so easy to install. An internal drive will be cheaper. You most likely have a spare bay in which you could accommodate one inside your PC casing. Again, it's not difficult, but you need to be OK with opening up a PC case and a little cabling up.

Memnon- Thank you so much for this information. I am going to try e-bay, that sounds doable.

There are quite a few different things you can do, but you need to start by thinking about what your skills are and what you like. If you like writing for instance, you can do freelance writing, but this is not for everyone. If you are very ambitious you can make your own sites and make money out of those, and so on. But the key to becoming successful is trying to figure out what you would be best suited for, instead of trying things randomly.

I absolutely love to write. That I know for sure. I am Helium right now. I also have my own blog. The problem is I need some steady income right now to supplement my full time job. Eventually maybe the above will help me in the future to make money but I need a short term solution right now.

In this enconomy I know how you feel I've had to start selling my stuff to make ends meet this summer until my next student loan in 29 days. I just am lucky to have a great family on my side. If you have money to put down last summer a make a few hundered bucks on the sign up offer websites but it was signing up for free trails of a lot of stuff then making sure you cancel in time. A lot of hassel for little money. If you're interested look up project payday and they should have the info. Maybe a free lancer website? Good luck.

The problem is, is that most sites that avertise getting a lot of money on tend to be scams. Thought i have some suggestions of sites where you can earn by doing very little. To start you off, there is swagbucks: http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/fpsninja You earn points for doing searches, something that i do everyday anyway, and you get rewarded with points which you can then use to buy stuff. If you want some more, add me as a friend and message me
