There was a segment on the news last night about earning money online. Among the suggestions made were selling books at moola4books.com. They pointed out that if you have a smartphone and the right app, you can actually scan books at yardsales and such and see what the offer would be, and whether the book would be profitable for you. Of course, you can do it without the app and smartphone as well, it would just take more time.
They also suggested getting paid to review music at sites like hidpredictor.com and slicethepie.com.
There was a website mentioned, pennyhoarder.com, which lead to a few other interesting discoveries, like getting paid to post things like recipes at helium.com and getting paid for your reviews at reviewstream.com.
Is anyone familiar with any of these sites? Have you tried them? What was your experience?

Helium is valid. I have not written any articles there, but do know several people that have worked for that site.
A couple others that are easy to do on product reviews is Epionions.com and Viewpoints.com
You have to apply on Viewpoints to be a paid writer, but you shouldn't have any problems. Both take a while to establish and of course, the more you write, the more you make.
Good luck!

Not sure about yard sales, but back few years ago when I was selling books on Ebay...there was some kind of scanner and people would take them to the libraries that had books they discontinued at the library and they'd have athem for sale for under a dollar or such. I saw people there all the time scanning them to someplace, getting value... I believe they were scanning the UPC or maybe edition number or something. But I guess that if they can do it at the library, the same info is on a book at a yard sale...maybe even more cause the book was bought new and had the SKU numbers and such on them.
I was with Associated Content and got paid for writing articles, but theykind of went down hill when they got popular nad the payment earnings fell. But if you have the talent..stick with that one. I just got writers block!
