People are always looking for ways to make easy money online and in the current economic climate If you Google the concept, you'll find plenty of results, but most of them seem to be geared to US citizens. Despite this, some websites accept international workers. I've tried many methods, so I can let you know what works, what doesn't and how well everything works too.

Freelance Writing:

There are plenty of freelance writing gigs online and quite often they accept telecommuters from South Africa. The easiest way to keep track of the multitude of sites where these jobs are posted, is to visit a blog such as Freelance Writing Gigs daily (or track its RSS feed). The benefit of using that kind of blog is that users also report back when jobs turn out to be fraudulent.
The other way to make money writing online is to submit content to sites which either pay you for your articles, or pay you per 1 000 clicks on your content.

Associated Content - $1.50 per 1 000 views. I reached over a thousand in the first month easily and now even Melanie Lowe's doing it.

Helium. pays per click as well as giving you upfront payments per article depending on your rating there. $3 monthly to review other people's articles too. You can also write articles to compete for pay.

Triond pay per 1000 clicks.

You can also use websites like Hub Pages, which simply share their advertising revenue with you, depending on how many visits your content gets and what sales are generated. You can generate your own income that way if you have a blog or website. You can either use an international method, like Google's Adsense, or one geared towards South Africans, like Afrigator's Adgator (see below).
Advertising:

There are countless ways to generate advertising revenue on your website or weblog. You find a scheme you like, install some simple code on your page and either get paid for view or clicks on them. Google's Adsense is tried, tested and reliable and many blog owners report that it's their top income stream. For South Africans, however, the fabulous Adgator scheme has just been launched by the AfriGreater Afrigator blog aggregator (try saying that when you're drunk) and in December I'll be able to let you know how it works - I've installed it on my Coming Out Stories blog, which is the busiest one in the stable.
Market Research Surveys:

There are a huge amount of sites that offer to pay you for completing surveys. What you do, is sign up, give them your demographics and wait to receive a survey you're
