those points to cash. Their is pogo.com and iwon.com where you collect points and convert those points into entries into draws for cash and prizes. Now the odds are slightly better than the lottery that you win something on either of these sites. With over 100,000 people playing each day and 3 or 4 items won each day that's about 1:30,000 odds of winning each day. That adds up to about 82 years of playing games every day before you win even 1 prize. (Scary!) You can of course play at these sites for fun not expecting to win anything. (Better than the frustration of playing again and again and not even getting a $5 amazon.com gift card!) So yes, you can win money/make money playing games but don't expect much.

PTS (Paid to Sign-up):
These sites can actually get you a reasonable amount of cash. You sign-up to free offers and the site pays you after you prove you did it.

(Paid to do surveys):
This is what got me interested in GPT (Get paid to) sites in the first place. These sites pay you to simply do surveys. Companies need your opinion about their products and are willing to pay for it. You can make anywhere from $1 - $10 to do a 20 minute survey on average. This is a way to make money that I personally find enjoyable.

Other ways to make money online. Scams?:
I have told you all about get paid to sites now but still haven't mentioned sites that claim they have a secret to making money online. Most of these sites claim you can make a million dollars a week working 10 minutes a day or something ridiculous like that. This is not something you should NEVER try. They make tons of crazy statements trying to get you to pay them or the "secret to making money online". I personally think they have found the way to make a good income online doing virtually nothing. Think about it, they set up a site and automate it so they don't have to do anything and then wait for unsuspecting victims to come along and pay them $20 to receive a free e-book full of information they already know. That's how those people make money online. Word of advice, don't be a victim of these scams. Play it safe and go for a get paid to site if anything.

In conclusion you CAN make money online free. You probably won't make much but if you play it smart you can have a little extra money with the small price of your time.
