Internet has turned into a great place to earn for a living. Some of the advantages it offers are: working from home, (partial) independence and freedom, plenty of various opportunities.The best thing about making money online is that it is fun. You can do what you really enjoy and get paid for that!
So besides obvious making-money-from-your-website thing, what are other reliable ways to earn some extra cash?
(1) Get Paid for Reviewing Software
What kind of a geek are you if you don't love playing with new software? I am sure you do. Have you ever considered getting paid for that?
- Review it as it is: the review shouldn't be positive; it should be constructive and honest;
- Pick the software listed on the site;
- No more than 3 reviews per day.
- Digital freebies (e.g. free reg keys and free games);
- Cash via Western Union (if you have at least $200 in your account);
- Software exchange (if you have at least $20 you can exchange your money for any downloadable software listed on site).
(2) Get Paid for Bargain Hunting
Bargain hunting is fun and can save you a bunch of money. The key is to know how and when to track. It's nice that active bargain hunters can now be rewarded with cash (because many people can be grateful to them for a timely spotted deal).Buxr is a user-generated coupon code and deal directory that rewards most active and active users with daily and monthly cash.
The top 3 memberswho refer at least 5 'Good Members' will be awarded. The first, the second and the the third place prize is $50.
(3) Get Paid for Consulting Others
Do you consider yourself an expert in anything? Do you think your advice may be useful? Let people pay you for it!
Here's how it works:
- Get your free Ether phone number;
- Set your rate per hour;
- Get pre-paid phone calls.
(4) Get Paid for Reviewing Products and Completing Offers
Getting paid for reviews has double benefit: cash and the product itself you are reviewing. Here are some well-trusted sites that allow you to earn money by reviewing products (there are more of course, so if you personally tried and liked another one, please share):- Cash Crate: Make sure to also check their Contests page for more fun;
- Gangster Greed pays money for completing (free trial) offers. Payout threshold is $10; Payouts on demand;
- Treasure Trooper: monthly payouts with $20 threshold;
- Instant Profitz.

Note: Internet is full of scams. If you come across any site that offers to pay you in cash, make sure to do at least some research: check scam forum and just Google it.
Disclaimer: I didn't personally try all the sites listed above but I took time to research reviews by others before listing them here.
