The thing about making extra money is you don't want to get too greedy, too soon. It causes you not to think things through, not to find the best things that actually will pay you money and thus you won't waste your time. If you think that you need to make hundreds upon hundreds of dollars, then you will defeat yourself. One dollar a time, slowly building up what you make, adding websites that you can get to a payout at a decent rate, subtracting websites that take forever, but using your common sense to find those that are legit. It might be slow going for a while, but you'll waste even more time by getting too greedy and thus not thinking.

Well we you think about it, if you want to work online and make around as much an actual job, you would have to put around as much work for an actual job. There is no really easy ride when you really think about it. There are times where someone stumbles upon something that might make things a bit easier. Not as often as many people on the Internet would want you to think however. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

There are many ways to earn money if you are persistent. You got to find something that works for you. Stick with it and allow it to grow to the highest heights that you can. Don't give up, as people who give up, will never succeed. Keep reaching for the stars and eventually you will start raking in the dollars, which will add up and hopefully by some time, you will be at the races. At least that's what I believe. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Hello megamatt,
I don't think I am naive, but it is not always easy to find a new good paying site, even if you are not greedy. Common sense is not always enough. Today many new sites are opened and seem legit : they have a low cash out and could be sustainable, even for an experienced user, though they are only created to scam.
Personally, I use some tips to test new sites. First, I never join two sites under the same user name : it would be too easy to find where I am active, how many upgrades I have, and to be nice with me... until I decide to invest. I do generally a second test when the site has a low payout and I think it is an interesting one : I don't request a $0.10 or a $0.50 payout, but continue if it has a PTP or pays good for referring until I get at least $2. In this case, scammers are often stupid, and I have found accounts canceled or suspended before I reached $2. If you think about it, $2 is nothing, and scammers are dumb to not pay somebody who seems to trust their site, but this test works in 90% of the cases for low payout sites.
I have personally stopped to do surveys : I was wasting a lot of time to try to qualify... and I have not been paid by all sites. My worst memory is a survey site with a $25 payout. When I reached $27 I requested my payout, and it asked me if I wanted to give something for charity. I gave $1 to a NGO and requested $26. One week later I received an email confirming that I will be paid soon, and I continued to qualify for surveys sent by this site during 2 months, receiving times to times a validation for a survey : "You have received $2.00 in your balance for XX". I have never been paid, though the site was paying here and there -- selective payments are often made by scammers -- and has earned probably more, because the surveys were real... Indeed, they never responded to my emails about my payment.

You do in fact make a lot of good points. A lot of websites due in fact start out with the best intentions that they have in life. However, a lot of them tend to get off of the rails. You can really rattle off a number of websites that have started off good but slowly turned to scams. Survey websites are the worst, I agree with that point. There is really few things that are more frustrating, than really going through them, about ten or fifteen minutes, before they pull you and say that you're not qualified. There are some times where I get some decent surveys, but I don't have all of the time in the world to go through them. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.
