Hi Stefanie, I know this is a long answer but if you're serious about this then it should be worth reading :o) I'm looking at the answers you've had so far and they're all trying to entice you to sites where you probably have to pay something to enrol etc. And I'm not sure any of them have responded to your actual question! In case you only read two paragraphs - do NOT buy any products that promise you things that sound too good to be true - and do NOT spend any money on survey-related or data entry-related products. It's amazing how many false claims there are on the internet just because people are lazy and couldn't be bothered to put in the time to build a good reputation. I have spent the last few months looking into making money from home online due to redundancy, and out of all the options I've come across, filling out online surveys is certainly an option. I would stress the following though: You do NOT have to pay to take part in any survey. And I would recommend you don't get persuaded to buy any survey-related product - no matter how good it sounds. Paid surveys work because big companies offer survey companies a lot of money to conduct market research. The survey companies then use a quotient of this money as an incentive for people to take the survey. Survey-related products will maybe just give you a list of websites for the paid survey companies or tell you how to lie about your demographic so that you get more surveys more often - often this is a waste and there will be trouble if you get caught. I started compiling a list of the survey companies I found to be reliable and professional (at least they have been so far...!) I have yet to receive any sales calls, junk mail or spam after giving out my personal details. And there's never any harm in making sure that these survey companies have privacy policies on their site. There are fly-by-night merchants on the internet but there are also good survey companies who are keen to develop and retain their reputaiton - if they don't have a good rep, the big companies won't ask them to do big surveys for them - which means they miss out on big bucks. A good survey company is one that looks long-term. You can find a list of credible survey sites here: www ... It's continually updated and is completely free. All the sites featured have been tried and tested and have good reputations. Some things to bear in mind with surveys: > You're not guaranteed regular surveys > There may be a threshold you have to reach before you can withdraw earnings > Surveys will expire due to a deadline or limit on number of takers so you may have to act quickly Obviously, the more survey companies you join up with, the more surveys you'll get invited to. And I think there's one company that offers 2 surveys a day at $1 a go. That reminds me - it is unlikely that you will make a fortune from doing surveys. It's something where you earn a little here and there and then after a couple of months you'll maybe have enough to buy a nice item for the wardrobe or treat yourself to a mini break etc. Anyway, I hope the above as been of some help and that the amount of content hasn't put you off! Best of luck to you Stefanie

Peoplestring is a new company that pays you to read emails. The best part is that it is absolutely FREE. You make money based on how many emails you read and also everytime you get someone to join you get a percentage of the amount of money they make. It's really easy. I devote about an hour to it each day and I'm already making an extra $250 a week. It doesn't seem like much but it's growing. I predict I'll be making close to $1500 a week soon enough.

Hi If you find the good surveys, they will work, but most of the good ones are restricted to people who live in USA and Canada. Unfortunately, I have never seen any one who can show independently verifiable earnings of any significance from surveys. But there are other methods that work. Check this one. Here is a quick formula for making money without spending any, and without falling for scams. Notice, there is nothing to buy. This will not involve anyone but you. No meetings, no parties, and no special favours required either. Ready? 1. Go to clickbank and register as an affiliate. 2. Find at least 1 product you would like to sell and create a link for that product. You'll be paid up to 75% commission on every sale. creating a hop link is easy. Just follow their instructions 3. write 4 original 300-word articles about that product based on 5 - 10 keywords that relate to the product. Look for the google adwords keyword tool at google.com and use it to find the keywords you need. 4. Go to squidoo.com and create a lens, using at least 2 of your articles. Make sure the links point to the clickbank product. (check their terms of use first) 5. Go to hubpages and do the same thing as you did at squidoo.com using the other two articles you wrote. 6 Write at least one article a day for the next 20 days and submit them to ezinearticles, articlealley, idea marketers, and buzzle. By the end of the twentieth day, you should start to see sales coming into your clickbank account. If you don't continue writing articles on more related keywords until you do. You can check my resources links for more help. All the best to you, Anthony PS: This has worked for me. It's not a bunch of theories.

Here's a simple way to make a little bit of money. You won't get rich, but it's fun. The site's called Instant Cash Sweepstakes. It works like this: they give you 5 3-question short surveys. You answer them and are then rewarded with a cash prize or tickets that are entered into a weekly $250 prize. My first survey i won $2 in PayPal money. Not bad for 10 seconds of my time. Here's the link. instantcashsweepstakes ...
