Two Simple Ways To Make Money

It has been two weeks or so since I started looking around for online business opportunities and not having very many skills to offer hasn't made things any easier. 2 weeks and over $1000 later, it still didn't seem like I was making much progress.

I was still trolling around the net, trying to find something that would at least point me in the right direction, without me having to pay more than a hundred dollars. Honestly, it was depressing as hell. So to cheer myself up a little, I searched "make easy money online" and other similar key phrases online to remind myself there was still hope. I know many of those would probably turn out to be scams or under-deliver but I just wanted to believe that money was out there, in the web somewhere and I just had to find out how to gethold of it...and legitimately, lol...

Somehow, I stumbled upon sites and people talking about paid surveys. That is, companies pay ordinary folks like you and myself, to complete surveys for their marketing research. I joined a couple of these sites but there were the kinds that would send you surveys when there were any, so I didn't end up making anything. You could try though. Google "paid surveys" and look for open surveys that will pay. it's said that there are many out there who scam people into doing the surveys and end up not paying them, so be careful...

Apparently, depending on the length and the kind of survey in general, you get paid anywhere from $5 to $50 per survey. Seems like a good deal to me. Unfortunately I've been occupied with an assignment that I'd have to complete by next week and thus, haven't had much time to search too hard for these surveys. Search around and let me know if you find anything good though. Hopefully it'd benefit the readers here, especially when it gets lots more traffic...lol.

(Doesn't it just feel like you're talking to yourself when your blogging never attracts any readers and comments? hahaha..)

http://www.pickydomains.com
This is an odd way to make money, but nevertheless...
Basically, people places their requests on the website and members post their suggestions to the one asking. Oh, suggestions for what? DOmain names...lols! Yeah, they'll places certain restrictions on what kind of domain name suggestions they;ll accept, and publish their requests for other members to suggest away.

The cool thing is that it's free to join, and you don't have to worry if the domain name has been used or suggested, 'cause the site will not allow them. After moderators review your suggestions, which are practically immediately, the "advertiser" so to speak, would rate them as "Like", "dislike", or "picked" if your suggestion gets picked. I'm not sure if the moderators get to rate the suggestions though. ANyways, you get paid if your suggestion gets picked. $25 per pick I think.

Simple enough, yes. Easy, not really. Paid suvey opportunities are unpredictable and the pickydomain one, well..you'll be competing with many other members for one "main prize", so it won't be easy.

Even so, there's no harm trying them out. Maybe you'd be able to do what I couldn't and walk away a little richer.:)
