This category includes a variety of methods with one thing in common: getting paid for doing (very) simple tasks online.
I personally haven’t tried any of the below methods so I can't speak from experience to how they work. In my mind, the most lucrative way is through building a REAL business online and providing your visitors with great value. However, after some thought, I decided to include these here because, quite often, the biggest roadblock for many is a mental one: believing that making money online is possible. From my experience, once you have made your first dollar, or even your first cent online, the world is suddenly a different color.
With this in mind, here are some of the top ways to generate income in this category.
1. Cashbacks
The idea behind cashback is simple: you get rewarded for purchasing or using products you plan to buy anyway. Cashback sites pay you when you click through them, go to retailers, and spend. For example, check out eBates. com - There are over 2,000 stores to choose from including Walmart, Target, Sears, Calvin Klien, and others. You also get a $10 gift card after your first $25 purchase. Sign up is free. (If you encounter a cashback site where it’s not, avoid it.
2. Taking Surveys
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of websites offering users the ability to get paid for taking surveys online. Same as with Cashback sites, if you encounter a survey site where sign up if not free, simply avoid it. I have not checked it myself, but a few online entrepreneurs suggest trying toluna. com. Also, you might want to try Cash Crate - In addition to getting paid for taking surveys, they offer cachbacks and other quick online income perks.
3. Answering Questions
If you're an expert in your field, you can generate income by answering people’s questions online. Just Answer. com. for instance, allows you to join their team of experts and serve a customer base of more than 20 million people. If you’re a travel expert, check out flightfox. com. They have great reviews and positive commentary pretty much everywhere.
4. Writing Reviews
Get paid for reviewing products online. These days, companies are willing to pay for your opinion, especially if you have a well established blog or other online presence. Check out Expo TV. for example; it allows you to earn income for doing video reviews on products you own.
