6. Reviewing Services and Products

The internet users usually look for information about a product or a service before purchasing so as to make sure whether it is a wise decision to purchase or not. So, in this regard, they go to some shopping information sites where they can find useful data or info as to what to do.

These sites are inspired from the need of supporting information or reviews of products and services in order to help the internet user who cannot make a decision on their own. These reviews are quite reliable because they are written by people who have already tried or used the products or services. The shopping information sites would hope to publish new constant reviews. So, these sites welcome anyone who wants to contribute by submitting honest and straightforward reviews for the products or services they have used. Once a review is approved, submitter will be paid for each approved review.

This does not require a professional ability of writing, just be honest and straightforward and share your opinions and experiences about the product or service.

Below are three sites that pay for product reviews:

SharedReviews.com: First sign up and create a profile at SharedReviews.com. And then there you go, you can start reviewing anything. Once you have written and published your reviews, they will be read and voted by the people in the Shared Reviews community. Your reviews’ rank is dependant on the votes and traffic. The more votes and traffic to your review, the higher your rank is and the higher your earning would probably be.

ReviewStream.com: Unlike SharedReviews.com no registration or sign up is needed to submit reviews. Reviewers will be paid $2 per review. And also they will earn $0.1 per vote when each time a reader votes for reviews.

SoftwareJudge.com: Say your two cents worth, share your opinions and ideas about any software and online game you have tried, and get paid between $1 and $50 per approved review depending on the quality.

7. Paid Surveys

Paid surveys, in the short run, are not so profitable as they have been reflected on advertisements. As you might have seen on ads, advertisers go so far as to say that you can make a living by taking surveys. However, the truth about paid surveys is that you can earn extra money by taking surveys. Extra money that many of you will find unsatisfactory.

How to get started?

Simply go to a paid survey directory such as Yellowsurveys.com and then join as many market research companies listed in the directory as you can. In Yellowsurveys.com and some other directories you can reach these companies for free. Of course there are better directories like Make Money Taking Surveys, Survey Scout, Paid Surveys Etc.,… but you need to pay first to reach their listings.

The sign up process will take some time because there are many companies you need to join. Here i suggest you to join them all. Once you are done with signing up for all the companies, then it is time to wait paid survey invitation emails from these companies you have signed up for.

Who can join?

Anyone over 18 and residents of US and Canada. Most companies welcome any country but the paid survey invitations are often fit for US and Canada residents only.

Paid Survey is not for those who want to make money online fast but to make extra cash online. Patience is necessary in this kind of methods of making money online. You will take a few surveys for the first month and earn less than $10. But over time you will start taking more surveys and thus increase the amount of money you earn from paid surveys.

8. Start a Home-Based Business Based on Your Skills

It can either be part-time or full-time based on who you are and what skills you have, and when I mean home-based business I’m not talking about online business.

We all have one skills or the other we can use to start a business, your skill can be in web design. You can make money from your skills by starting a business in your home, get in touch with individuals and companies around you, tell them why they need your service and render your services to them. For example, if you are very good at web design you can get in touch with businesses around you that do not have a website, let them know the importance of making use of the web technology and how being professional about it can help, offer your services on it to them and they will be very happy to hire you.

When trying to go this route it is very important to make sure you have clear knowledge of what you can do and what you can’t do – that is the best way to stay out of trouble.

9. Be a YouTube Phenomenon
