Reached more than 3 dollars... still far

Try Odesk or Freelancers and get online projects. Once you get your own project, I'm sure that amount will really be reachable. I'm working as a virtual assistant for 2 months now. I earned 44$ on my first two weeks of working then another 44$ on my 2nd week. I also do article writing sometimes. You just have to build a good profile for you to be able to land projects but there are some clients who also choose newbies.

Try inboxdollars.com. It is also a good site in which you can earn some decent amount if your from america. If you want to invest money and get some good returns then try roxilia.com. You have to work hard if you want to reach 50 dollars.

Try neobux and clixsense they are also a good site to invest your money and get a good return. This is depending on how you smartly invest your money there.
