Surveys and other online gigs can absolutely pay your bills. While I do not know the amount of your bills or the time you have to do various times of online work, I do know from experience that online gigs can pay your bills.

Lets discover Freelance Writing.

Sites like Helium, Triond, Associated Content, and Xomba will earn you money on articles you write. Contests on some of the sites will help you to increase your earnings. The Marketplace on Helium is a great way to boost your online income as is Calls For Content on Associate Content. Many sites such as these will pay you based on page views. The more page views you get, the more money you make. Most of my income from freelancing covers my entire family entertainment expenses for the month. One bill down.

Lets discover Get Paid To Sites.

Get Paid To, or GPT, sites will pay you a commission on actions you do online. Websites like Offers Pay You will pay you for filling out those advertisements you see all over the Internet. Sites like this will also offer cash back on shopping, or a return on payment for trying a trial offer. GPT sites often hold contests worth even more money as well. Then there are referral tiers. Some sites offer 15% on your direct referrals earnings while others offer less earnings but offer more levels. Offers Pay You, for example, has four referral tiers. You can then earn even more money without actually completing offers yourself. I make enough on GPT sites to pay my car insurance each month.

Lets discover Paid To Click Sites.

I will not link to a Paid To Click, or PTC, site, as I do not like them. I have earned money with them in the past but I do not feel the payout is enough for my time. I have, however, used these site earnings to post PTC ads and gain referrals for my GPT sites. How many of my referrals have come from these sites is unknown, but I am sure it has covered at least a few dollars in any given month.

Lets discover Survey Sites.

Survey sites will pay you to complete marketing surveys. These site types should not be confused with GPT sites, which often will offer a commission to complete daily surveys or even sign up to survey sites. Many of these sites pay a minimum of $1 per survey, up to $20 per survey for special requests. I have been a member of Pine Cone Research for almost a year. This survey site is by invitation only and pays $3 per survey. I earn enough in a month to cover my monthly Big Fish Games subscription.

These are just a few ways that you can earn enough online to pay your bills. I frequent GPT sites and freelancing sites daily and am earning money each and every day. Whether I earn enough to pay one bill or all of them is distinctly based on my quality of work and the time I put into my work. I am proof that online gigs can pay bills, or at least help to pay them.
