How can I make some money with all of this time?

So, I work at a desk all day long and I have a lot of time on my hands. I would like to do something to make a little bit of money. I do ebay and make a little money there. I do surveys sometimes, but I want to see if I can make more money. I have internet access, but am horrible with websites. How else can I make money online? Thanks

    I am a writer but I spend most of my time answering questions here because I get paid to surf the net. No, really I'm serious. It's unbelievable but true, there is a company that pays people for just surfing the net, you don't have to buy, click on anything or fill out a survey. They simply collect money from companies like Google and Yahoo and pay it back to (you) it's members. Pretty cool, see what you think http://www.totalink.com/cgi-bin/pseek/go.cgi?id=95...

    Hope this helps, good luck.

    look at my profile, and visit the site under "about me"...sign up there....here is some information about the site:

    This is a site from which you are given the chance to earn money. What you have to do is complete surveys and offers for companies that want the public's opinion. By doing this, you are able to earn money very easily for simply giving your opinion or trying out sample products. This is a great service that allows one to work from home, on their spare time, at their leisure, and still bring in a nice sum of money every month. People have made up to $800 easily on this site by just working on it in their spare time. It is not going to replace a real job's salary, but it is a very nice bonus. There are also many features on this web site, such as contests and special surveys, from which you can redeem extra prizes that would be sent to you with your monthly cheque, such as iPods, Xbox 360s, gift certificates, and much more.

    Cheques are sent monthly, and usually arrive about a week or a week and a half into the next month. No payment from you is ever required, not to sign up, not EVER. Unlike other sites that try to scam people out of their money, this site never requires you to pay them.

    "If the site doesn't get paid from me, then why would they have this service going?" - The site doesn't get paid directly from you, but when you complete an offer or survey, they also get paid a small portion of what you earned yourself. For example, if you complete a survey about computers let's say, you would earn maybe $2 and the web site itself would recieve $0.50 from the company also for getting you to complete the survey. These surveys take little time at all, most taking up less than even 2 or 3 minutes of your time.

    Fraud is also a big deal on the Internet these days, and this site recognizes that. That is why they ask for ONLY three bits of information: Your name, email address and your home address. Yup, that is all. No credit card information, no banking information, nothing like that. All they require is your name and address so that your cheque can be sent to your home every month. Your email address is only required to confirm that you have done the offers and surveys. Fortunately, no spam mail or junk mail is ever sent out by this site and your information is never shared with any other company.

    Personally I have been a member of this website, along with thousands of others, for approximately 1 year now and have earned well over $2500 by working in my spare time. This web site has been great to me, also the members and administrator are very friendly, and are always there to help you with a question or problem you may be having. So far, I've listed only positives about this site, because I can't think of a single negative thing about it. Earn money in your spare time, at no cost to you...Simple!

    Here are 4 easy steps that you can use to find a perfect opportunity to help you create some 'secondary income'...

    1. Find a 'hot niche' based on either what you already know, or have as a hobby!

    2. Once that 'consumer niche' (Giftbaskets/Candles/Diet Products/Etc/Etc.) has been found, then simply offer a quality product to them!

    3. Have "Passion" for what you do, and you'll never tire doing it!

    4. Last but not least...Always "Persevere" through the tough times, as you'll definitely encounter them along the way as your business starts to grow and you start earning the type of extra income you're looking to obtain.

    I recently just came across a very well written .PDF file created by a very successful home-business owner by the name of Ken Mathie called "Unlocking The Niche Code"..it's a great read and you can download a FREE COPY here:

    A really easy way to make money online is to join GPT sites. GPT sites pay you to take surveys and do free trials. I remember when I first starting doing GPT's, I made about $70 within the first hour. (and then I was hooked =P) Here are 2 of my favorites:

    Or, just do a search on 'gpt site', and you will come up with a bunch. =)

    Hope that helps.
