  • These are great opportunity of earning money online some of which am aware of but will check out the rest. Thank you so much for sharing.

  • You've got some great suggestions. I think people also need to sit down and weigh out the time required versus the money they will earn - a lot of survey sites are lower paying which for one person may not be a big deal but for someone else needing some quick cash that could be a deal breaker.

  • Thanks for such a great read!

    I decided to become an online tutor on Preply. It’s pretty cool.
    While working as online tutor, I also spend my time working as a freelance copywriter and am now working on setting up my own blog.

    • Hi Patrick, I really like the flexibility that comes with working from Home. You set your own schedule and you are not under pressure that comes with normal workplace, otherwise thanks for visiting.

  • It is so great that so many opportunities are available for people. There are ways to make money if one wants to do the work.

    • Yes, in this day and age of internet, no one should complain for lack of jobs, especially if you can access the internet.

  • Great options! I've read about some of these before, but unfortunately they don't work here in Europe! I'm going to try InstaGC now.

    • Hi Johanne, Its true most of these firms are based in US, and only allow applicants from there and maybe Canada and UK. InstaGC is Global, I joined them recently and am doing well. Just ensure you understand how to use it. You can read the guide they sent you via the welcome email. Paid Viewpoint is also a good one, they allow people from all parts of the world. They have offer daily surveys to complete, so you can make some cash frequently. You can also make additional money through referrals. SurveySavvy also allows global participation and has a referral program.

    • Hi, I appreciate your visit. Yes, it is always good to try then decide which ones to dedicate your time to.
