Best way to make a little extra Cash?!

For months not i have been slaving away reading sites, advertisments, discussions on myLot all trying to work out what is the best way to make cash online. I guess there is no easy answer to this. If it were everyone would be doing it. myLot certainly is a great option. Its free to join and its great fun to participate but i dont feel it is the best way to make money as the time taken to say earn a dollar is massive. I think one of the best ways to earn is through Adsense. This however requires a website or blog which already recieves a lot of traffic. Another way is gambling. Naturally this involves a starting bank but this can be small and still recieve a better payoff than say myLot. For me personally the only money making thing i am doing right now is myLot but i want to be able to start a blog and recieve money from Adsense. I just have no idea what to start a blog about. I thought about starting one to do with money making ideas. There are millions of those already. Any of you guys got any ideas? Or successful blogs that i could look at.

If you are going to go the blog way do a topic that is really popular at this time. You also have to make the blog entertaining and have content people will want to come back to. It's all about gaining the audience. Good luck.

Sure, i guess that makes sense. Well i was thinking of maybe gambling systems. This can then include tips etc.

Thank you for your comments, i also am a bit of an amateur photographer but get very little time to follow my hobby. I have a Canon 350D digital SLR and really want to make much better use of it. I guess time will come but i will definately have a look at your blog with much interest.

While I prefer wordpress over blogger, there's really no limit as to what you can blog about. Bascially no matter what subject you can think of someone, somewhere is searching for information on it. If you have a favourite hobby, have learnt something new in your job, have experience with anything - do a blog about it :-) Getting that first post is always the hardest, but once you have it you'd be amazed at how much you can suddenly find to write about. I have several blogs and websites in my profile (all on something different) I've discovered that I really enjoy making sites and blogs and while it might take longer initially, income wise it's a lot easier with way more potential than reading emails etc.

Yeah, well i mean myLot is the only one of these sites that offer cents for time consuming 'work'. The only reason i go with myLot is because i actually enjoy it. Ill have a look into wordpress.

I have some websites dedicated to popular TV shows and started some Yahoo groups to compliment the sites. This drives traffic to the site and I make some extra cash that way.

Thats a good way of generating traffic. I think TV shows are a good way to attract people at the moment, especially with shows like 24, prison break and lost which just demands to be talked about.

I don't have a website, so that won't work for me. I also don't like downloading the toolbar. You wonder what they are doing to your computer, are they spying???

here is a program if you got 22 usd in e-gold: - such programs could always last long enough - some ebooks are really very interesting, helpful - and its only 22 usd. members can check the presentation here: http://howtoearn.22usd.com/5ways2earn.htm If you could NOT promote, then better not join. ----------------- All posts are for discussions only.

Well, I have started blogging with blogger for the past one month. I didn't have much experience then, but I have collected a lot of info during the past one month or so and have a very good picture of getting things right. But unfortunately I have my exams just round the corner, so I can't afford to spend much time on my comp, let alone blogging. But in any case, I can help you with these resources which I found to be very helpful. Do u have experience in HTML and related Web Developer tools? If yes, you could try to start a website of your own, using some free domains. Else if you are looking for ease of use, Blogger.com should be your natural choice. But I personally recomend Wordpress, it has an amazing repertoire to help you customise your blog like anything! I'd suggest you also take a look at other service providers like Typepad before making a decision. I had already started with Blogger, but I plan to start afresh with a new blog from Wordpress during my Holidays. Contact me if you have any clarifications. My blog url is : http://licensetowrite.blogspot.com/ Please leave your comments at the site if you feel so. Thanks. Good day to you.
