    Well, there are many variations and ways to earn money online, and it really depends on how much you want to earn, with some things the harder you work the more you earn, with others it is just blah. It also depends on how much information of yourself you are wanting to allow to the companies who hire you and what type of work you are doing. Which ever route you choose, remember this, check them out with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) if they are at least listed there, then you have something to go on. Also, when you find links to companies you are questioning about, always after checking out with the BBB go to google or search engine of your choice and type in the name of the web site and then the words "web site review" if that does not turn up something then type in their company name and type in company review, and you will be surprised at the information you can come up with to find out whether or not a company is legit. Always, always, and always read the fine print, check each companies privacy policy, and their terms and conditions, do not skimp them, read them, these are important and can allow power to go where you do not want it, in other words, the site might look good, but if they sell your information to third or affiliated parties for advertising purposes then you are riddled with more spam. You can work on your own hobbies and crafts, sell them at flea markets, most flea markets have a free day where they let you set up a booth for free, you can sell your stuff on ebay, etsy.com, e.t.c., you can look for local data entry jobs online, search through the businesses registered with the BBB, they have a search page where you can look for online companies that are registered with them and relevant to your category of choice. You can make money for your opinions also through legitimate online market research, just like for taking surveys in the mall, you can make a good income supplement this way on the side, this is what I do, and without it I would be barely making it by, it was hard for me to find all of the companies I am signed up with and like you I was afraid of scams but fortunately I knew what to look out for and was able to research and find the best. Anyhow, if you are interested in that, I have a list on my blog, which you can find by looking into my other answers about paid surveys or online jobs. Best of luck to you.

    Hi James....you could do ironing for people? Do you have transport?

    You may be able to get £10 an hour for collecting clothes etc from people that can't/ won't do ironing and have the best of both worlds....

    Please ignore the envelope scams.

    # Your second answerer is very good.

    Good luck.
