Three Real Ways to Generate Extra Income Online

I'm certain there are people who believe that everything online regarding earning money is a scam. I can tell you from experience, it's not. Here are three very easy ways to earn a little extra income. These are probably not methods that will replace your job, but there's no reason using these methods you can't generate an extra $200.00 to $400.00 per month. And that's enough to help out with some of your bills. And yes, there are some people who claim to earn a full-time income with these. Me, I've just earned some side income. Here they are, in no particular order:

1. Online Surveys- By this, I mean the real ones from reputable companies. There are plenty of scam-type things that aren't really legitimate surveys from companies that just want your honest opinion. A couple of good ones are Lightspeed Panel and NFO My Survey. You can do some research online and find others. If you're really serious about earning money doing these, you can join a paid database that will give you links to hundreds of survey companies. They usually charge around $35.00 annually for access but it's probably worth it if you're going to really hunker down and do them. A bit of advice though: I did hear of a woman who says she's earning anywhere from $2500.00 to $4500.00 a month doing surveys, but she also stated she belongs to around 500 survey sites. The bottom line is: in order to earn that kind of money, you have to treat it like a full-time job. And you must have the time to devote to it. I believe she is a stay-at-home mom.

2. Paid To Click Emails- Yes, you can earn a few pennies for clicking on emails but the real secret to earning any decent money with these is to sign up for offers, some totally free and some not. This requires an organized person, because you'll have to sign up for some offers that are only a 14-day trial or 30-day trial, and you will be charged after the trial is over unless you call and cancel before then. You must provide a credit or debit card number when you sign up. Typically, you may be charged a small shipping fee like $3.95 but the offer may pay you $15.00 or $20.00, so you make a profit off the transaction. I suggest creating a spreadsheet for this with the date you signed up, end of trial date and cancellation information.

3. Paid To Complete Free Offers For Others- This one can be very lucrative, but once again, it requires the same kind of organization as the paid to click emails. There are actually people who make a lot of money paying others to complete those "Win A Free IPOD" offers. Most of those sites also offer cash in lieu of just the product, which is what they're striving for. You can expect a payout generally of anywhere from $20.00 to $30.00 for completing one of these offers for the referrer. You will need to pay for access to a database of people willing to pay you for doing this probably, as I did. You may be able to research this for free online, but I'm not exactly certain how. This one seemed to be an underground secret. If you want to know which database I joined, please contact me. The people who will pay you for doing this are apparently earning a good income doing this.

Anyway, there you have it. Three real ways that I know from personal experience that you can generate a few hundred extra bucks online.

Next, I'll tell you a couple more ways...
