Paid Surveys, Home Working and All That Jazz!!

Friday 5 December 2008

Being unemployed means time is on your hands; unfortunately money isn't so, you try and 'employ your time', (almost a pun there), to make some dosh.

The internet.

Now, the internet is a wondrous creation, it goes from informing you who the wives of Henry VIII were, (go on, try and name them), to worrying things like well...hmmm... Anyhoo, it can also make a person money. The thing is, a person must be wary of trying to make money online - undoubtedly there are ways to make some dosh but making some legal and painless dosh is very hard. Scams people, are left, right and sodding everywhere, they can catch out even the sensible so not believing all you read is a very wise path to take.

I have lost count of the paid survey sites that I have come across, frecking millions of the bastards but, the numbers of genuine ones are few and far between. Type in, 'paid surveys', and Google will oblige with a list as long as your Gramps long johns. In the months I have been out of work I haven't come across one that I could honestly, recommend. What they all have in common is the request for money; from peanuts to serious money, they all want some degree of payment. You can go to forums, wade through reviews but it seems that no-one is willing to tell you the websites to join that will, in fact pay REAL money for you spending 2 - 30 minutes answering mind-numbingly boring questions without requiring you to pay for it.

Freelance workers.

There are sites that provide work for freelance work - when I say freelance it can be anything from data entry to constructing websites. Plainly, the key to this is that you, yes YOU are able to do this type of work. Are you able to ghost write, to put together a trial website can you do data entry? I found out that my answer to these questions, was, 'un-fucking likely', which is a depressive thing to admit to certainly, not to the skill level that would get me work.
Like paid survey sites, there are freelance worker sites that ask for your dwindling dosh so, once again, be wise.

There are other websites that, over a trial period of something like 7-14 days, will allow you to try their service for free and then, after that they will charge you monthly.

My FREE advise.

You should NEVER pay to work. Do not part with your cash whatever you read in a forum, whatever review you study.

Don't try these trial periods out, (warning, Freelance Home Writers are a rip off), because even if you do cancel your account before the trial period ends, some will still take your cash.

Once again, DO NOT PART WITH YOUR MONEY NO MATTER WHAT. The idea is to make money not to spend it.
